That was some of the best frog gigging I have seen in a while!!! Did you hear all of those frogs on the field last night every time the Padres were batting? Geez....I was ready to put a fork in them myself! The Padres stomped those AC frogs 10-1....
Awesome game all the way around tonight! Caleb Rediker stayed hot tonight with 2 doubles, smashing the ball to the outfield!! We had several singles, RBI's and steals(fast Mickey Martin stole every base). Kris Dowlen had some really hard hits tonight, even though he got robbed of one of his singles by a crazy call! I guess that umpire behind the plate had a better view of it 50 yards further away then the umpire right on top of the call!! Sorry...just being a little bitter!
Defensively, everyone was really solid. We didn't have much action in the field thanks to the fantastic pitching from #25 Alec Harris!!! They couldn't even see the ball crossing the plate to hit it! Bryce did a great job catching all of those fast pitches and threw out 3 trying to steal.
Every game you progress more and more at playing as a team! You have probably the best team of coaches in the park...if you will just listen and do what they tell you, it will be amazing how far you will come by the end of the year!
The pictures were not great tonight because of the lighting, but I tried to get some close up shots and pre-game warm-ups. Garrett I hope I have more of you this game! :)

Padres vs. Yankees 5/11/09
Go Padres!!! We had a great in the park win tonight against the Yankees! The final score was 6-5 Padres but that was only because of the last inning. The rest of the game was awesome. You all looked like a different team out there tonight. We finally hit the ball tonight as a team!!! Mickey set the tone with his lead off hit and then everyone else joined in. We had some good hits from several for singles, and Caleb had a great line drive down first base line over the 1st basemans head for a double. Chase and Mickey each had a RBI in the 2nd inning. You might not get on every time, but if you can score a run that is just as good.
Not only was our hitting coming along tonight, but our defense was falling into place too. Austin Poss started off the game with a great catch in center field. There were several thrown out in the infield and Alec mowed someone down trying to steal second with a perfect shot to Mickey. I think I heard Alec say "not in my house, not tonight"!
Bryce pitched an awesome game tonight....he was striking them out left and right! He also threw a couple out at first with some good defense.
We had a scare tonight with Gunnar the last inning. Taking a hard hit to the face with a bad bounce on a really hard hit from Justin Wood. I think he might have a war zone shiner tomorrow to show for it. But he is tough as nails and will be right back in there Thursday night.
We missed Jerred Baxter tonight who was out with strep throat. We hope you get to feeling better soon...
I didn't get as many pictures tonight because of the lighting on the field, but I will get the posted tomorrow night.

Padres @ PV 17 5/7/09
Finally something to get excited about!!! I know you are thinking, what is she talking about, we lost 6-5 tonight.( And I am not talking about being excited because it didn't rain today finally!!!) I saw a team tonight that did not give up on the game! That excites me!! You were down the last inning 6-0 and came back and scored 5 runs. That is the teamwork that I have been saying we needed to get together....never giving up. I actually heard some excitement and cheering in the dugout tonight!!! That is what will you make you a better player, teammate and "team" as the year progresses.
I loved seeing Jerred Baxter stay in the batters box on an inside pitch, (had to grab his heart a minute) but stayed in there for the walk and ended up scoring our 1st run for the night. I liked seeing our outfielders rotating in and out in the field, stopping balls and getting them back to the infield and keeping a positive attitude throughout the game. (Austin Johnson, Garrett Johnson, Clayton Forsyth, Chase Jenkins , Jerred Baxter, and Austin Poss) See how important an outfield position is? I use to love the outfield, I actually refused to play infield....
What we do need to work on is hustle......on the field, off the field, to and from the batters box, down the baseline to the base....everywhere and everyone! If we had a little more hustle, we just might have gotten another inning in before time ran out and won that game!!
As parents, we love to watch you play ball and have fun. Sure we love to see you win, but the most important things are that you are learning the game, having fun and enjoying the sport and each other. So relax a little Padres! Enjoy the game like you did that last at bat tonight, and the winning will happen! Then it will be really fun!!!
Nonetheless, it was a great night (finally after a week of rain), you played a good game and I got some pretty good pictures of all of you tonight. Enjoy the sunshine while it last!!
Great pitching tonight Gunnar and Mickey!!!
