You have to give the boys credit even in a loss. Kevin Corriea was lights out for 5 innings and then all of a sudden he forgot how to pitch. With 2 out and nobody on he gave up three hits in a row leading to 2 runs and then totally collapsed the next inning. Maybe he is a 4 inning pitcher.
Playing without the only true star on the team, Adrian Gonzalez, the Padres mounted a furious comeback only to fall short when Kouz flied out to deep right center. It was a good a bat for Kouz seeing he fell behind in the count immediately. That is why he needs to go. Kouz jumps on everything and anything. I think he starts swinging on deck and does not stop until he is either out or on base.
Either way they lost, but it was a great 10 game streak that brought the fans back and the team back to .500. I was telling my wife they are going to lose at least 50 more games this year so let's not get too worked up about this loss. What they need to do now is play consistent ball, win 3 in a row here and there and not get caught up in a losing slump like they did in the beginning of May. Anything is better than losing 19 0f 24.
Peavy takes the bump tonight for the Padres in a park that has not been too kind to him. Lets hope he has a good start because his time in SD is short. The rumor mill now says the Mets should trade for him. Who knows!
Did you see 34 year AJ Finch looking stunned in the dug out last night? It seemed he was looking for anyone and everyone for help. He had that deer in the headlights glare while he clapped on his D'backs. What he did to Bob Melvin is not right and the baseball gods will take care of him. Good luck AJ.
Go Padres and watch Jake tonight in what could be one of his last starts for the local nine.
Peace
