Some player movement as we shore up the number of left handed relievers that Bud Black crushes on . There's so much movement with the Padres these days! One would've thought that Chase Headley would've been called up by accident by now.
CHASE! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! SNEAK INTO THATCHER'S LUGGAGE!!! CHAAAAAASE!!! FOLLOW THE SOUND OF MY VIRTUAL VOICE!!!

Noooooooooooo!

I think Corey has stolen this job
I say “I think” because I am in now way able to predict Buddy Black decision-making process.
Wonko - June 10, 2008
i'm betting 8th inning
heath bell is gonna come out in the 6th
and starting pitching is only gonna go 5, no matter who it is.
C8LIN B - June 10, 2008
Oh this is gonna be fun!
ABY - June 10, 2008
swaping bad for worse
okay whatever
maybe its strategey… that all this up and down is gonna make thatcher be the best pitcher everrrrr
or maybe he does a very entertaining dance and it wakes up black
i sometimes think Kevin Towers just wants to mess with everyones minds… he thinks it is fun

Ledezma
Good riddance. So tired of this guy. I can see why he’s bounced around. His lack of control makes it look like he’s not trying. When the bases are loaded and you start a guy with a fast 4 inches high and away you are not going to earn any brownie points. It makes it look like you don’t care about the situation, that you are not thinking about how to approach the hitter and that you have no intent on bearing down to get outs. I’ll take Baek and Banks thank you and say good bye to the Sauce (a nickname I have no fond thoughts of).
Wonko - June 10, 2008
i didn't like him last year
alright for relief
but definately not starting material
C8LIN B - June 10, 2008
I agree
He was pretty good earlier this year in relief. USA Today Sports Weekly even did a little write up about him pitching well in relief. But SP is not his calling. It might be his goal, but it’s not his calling.
I hope Ledezma’s shining Clark’s shoes today, otherwise Ledezma was going to fall to a horrible Pedro Martinez.

Thatcher
This is probably temporary. A move to get an extra arm in the bullpen (Ledezma needs time to rest after his last start) until Peavy comes off the DL and Thatcher can go back down.

Thatcher Act 2: Electric Thatch-alo
Back to the Thatcher II
What about “I’ll have the Thatcher, medium well, hold The Sauce.”
Storm Thatcher?
The Shadow Thatcher?
Axion - June 10, 2008
Oooh oooh
What about “Thatch Point” ?
Axion - June 10, 2008
Now I'm glad I don't have to hear about "the sauce" anymore
I much prefer “Iron Lady” references.

aka
thatcher the milk snatcher and attila the hen!
ABY - June 10, 2008
Milk Snatcher?
These nicknames are always confusing me.
jbox - June 10, 2008
she passed a law
saying children over 7 (I think) were not entitled to free milk in school anymore
ABY - June 10, 2008
Queen of the Run Fairies
seemed to fit him pretty well, as I recall.
Phantom - June 10, 2008
Agreed
Winfield's Ghost - June 10, 2008
This is the third Thatcher act
He started with the team, got sent down, got called up, got sent down, and has now been called up again.
Wonko - June 10, 2008
Is anyone
going to the game tonight?? I AM!!!! I’ll be wearing my custom jersey haha Says Felder on the back with the number 22! holla at me if you see me
chaostheory1211 - June 10, 2008
I wish I would have known this before the game
They brought in Thatcher and I thought I was on drugs. Everyone around me was calm and collected while I shouted “Is anyone else seeing this?” I thought I had some bad kettle corn or something.
SD Chick N - June 11, 2008
you were at the game?
where were u sitting, im in section 111
chaostheory1211 - June 11, 2008
I was in 309
A little high, not too bad. They’re my brother’s season tickets. 111? Fa-ancy! I really can’t afford anything below upper field special reserve class or whatever it’s called. You people down there are totally a mystery to me.
SD Chick N - June 12, 2008
thats my section for season tickets
a bit high
but u get a good view of the whole field, good people around usually
and cheap for a pretty good view, since we cant afford season for lower
20th im in 202 though :)
so excited
