Series loss to Nats a microcosm of Stammen's evolving 'pen strategy
WASHINGTON -- Bullpen management is a thorny maze for any manager -- new, old or otherwise. San Diego manager Craig Stammen knew this from spending his Major League pitching life as part of bullpen groups. He guessed -- and second-guessed -- along with his former managers. Some of those managers used roles defined by the inning. Others used matchup math to help drive decisions.
Stammen ejected for 1st time in career -- as manager AND player
Stammen’s ejection was part of a dismal seventh inning for the Padres. They entered the inning with a 3-1 lead and starting pitcher Michael King cruising. King was pulled after he hit Crews to load the bases with no one out. Bradgley Rodriguez relieved King. The safe call at second scored the tying run and Rodriguez walked the next batter to put the Padres behind, 4-3. A single up the middle scored two more runs, vaulting Washington in front, 6-3.
At long last! Tatis launches HR No. 1 of the season
“I think part of his process was not trying to hit a home run,” Padres manager Craig Stammen said pregame. “Being a baseball player, not a home run hitter, ‘I’m going to go out and play baseball.’ So far, we’ve seen a little freer version of Fernando at the plate, as a result, we’ve seen a lot of hits.” WASHINGTON -- All he needed to do was to show bunt.
¡HR DE TATIS! Finalmente termina la sequía para el cañonero de los Padres
“Creo que parte de su proceso era no intentar dar un jonrón”, indicó el manager de San Diego, Craig Stammen, antes del compromiso. “Ser un jugador de béisbol, no un bateador de jonrones, ‘voy a salir y jugar béisbol’. Hasta ahora, hemos visto una versión un poco más libre de Fernando en el plato; como resultado, hemos visto muchos hits”. WASHINGTON -- Todo lo que necesitaba hacer era amagar con el toque de bola.
Padres airosos en el regreso de Giolito y Stammen al lugar donde todo comenzó en D.C.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Hace casi 10 años, Lucas Giolito subió al montículo del Nationals Park un martes lluvioso, rodeado de esperanza e intriga. Giolito tenía 21 años. La mayoría de los expertos lo consideraban la mayor promesa del béisbol, un corpulento lanzador derecho que alcanzaba velocidades de alrededor de los medianos 90 mph con lanzamientos de cambio de velocidad de gran impacto.
Giolito, Stammen back where it all started in Padres' winning return to DC
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Almost 10 years ago, Lucas Giolito walked to the Nationals Park mound on a rainy Tuesday, hope and intrigue trailing him. Giolito was 21 years old. Most prognosticators regarded him as baseball’s top prospect, a large right-hander who threw in the mid-90s with high-impact offspeed pitches. On June 28, 2016, Giolito made his big league debut for Washington in place of an injured Stephen Strasburg.
Ronel Blanco solid, bullpen can't hold late lead vs. Nats
WASHINGTON -- Justin Verlander said he felt “great” Friday night after he won his season debut. Framber Valdez threw a bullpen session Saturday morning that went well. A comeback win appeared all but secured Saturday afternoon when the Astros took a late lead at Nationals Park. But their progress was undone by another rickety bullpen performance. Ryan Pressly allowed two runs in the bottom of the ninth and Seth Martinez gave up the losing run in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Verlander doesn't miss a beat with quality start in '24 debut
WASHINGTON -- Justin Verlander walked to the mound at Nationals Park on Friday and leaned over to pick up the baseball. He warmed up under cloudy skies and in front of a sparse crowd. The 41-year-old loosened his potent right arm to make his season debut and career start No. 510. Shoulder inflammation stalled Verlander’s Spring Training start by two weeks, then delayed his season debut for longer. The Astros need him.
Drew Millas collects first Major League hit vs. college teammate
WASHINGTON -- When Drew Millas pushed a 1-2, 97 mph fastball toward third base in the seventh inning on Saturday, he hoped a familiar face would not derail what looked like his first Major League hit. Jake Burger, his former Missouri State teammate and the Marlins’ third baseman, was swung toward shortstop, well off the line. The ball bounded into left field, setting off a chain of events. Millas’ mom, Lynelle, cried in the stands. Those in the Nationals' dugout signaled for the ball.
