The Padres probably have a decision to make about the composition of their rotation; Mike Shildt always focuses on process; Mason McCoy is here to play
Jake Cronenworth and the rest of the Padres leave the dugout after Wednesday’s loss to the Twins. In one of the most poignant moments of the best baseball movie ever made, the manager of the Rockford Peaches is talking to his star player about enduring a baseball season.
But, 26 starts into his first full big-league season, Waldron appears tired and is clearly rattled by his inability to get outs consistently.The Padres need a fifth starter twice more before their current run of 18 games in 18 days ends. After that, they play 22 games over the season’s final 27 days. They could go with a fifth starter just three times in that stretch and still give the remaining starters sufficient rest.Randy Vásquez, who pitched for Triple-A El Paso yesterday, had a 3.
The 29-year-old McCoy was recalled from Triple-A yesterday to provide more of an everyday shortstop option than utility man Matthew Batten.After subbing in at shortstop and then getting a single in the bottom of the sixth inning yesterday, his statistics now also include one major league hit.The Padres have made relatively few transactions this season, owing to good health and the success of the players they have.
The next step could well involve Tatis going on the road with the team next week as he ramps up his on-field work in advance of an anticipated rehab stint. Before rolling your eyes, consider that the Padres have 32 comeback victories this season, including nine in which they trailed in the seventh inning or later. Consider, too, that even as they languished around .500 for the season’s first three months they said they would be OK as long as they kept playing the right way.
