Desperately in need of a solid performance to stabilize his pitching staff, SDSU head coach Tony Gwynn handed the baseball to a junior college transfer who entered the game with a 40.50 ERA.

Good move.

“I was just trying to focus on throwing strikes, and the defense played great behind me,” said Moranda, “it was a great team win.”

What’s Wrong With Jake Peavy?

April 27, 2009

ShareMaybe nothing’s wrong with Jake Peavy.  There is no such thing as a definitive 5-game sample.  But so far in 2009, the Padres’ ace has been anything but himself.  It started with a subpar WBC performance, which led to him being skipped over for Team USA’s semifinal loss.  He returned to the Padres with a [...]

Strasburg mechanical issues?

March 10, 2009
