6/9/15: GDT - San Diego Padres @ Atlanta Braves

Been swamped with work, but nice to see we came back last night. With a better bullpen, we might be in first place. That's pretty sad.

I know it was probably discussed during the GDT, but how about Juan Uribe and gunning Mel down at home? Was that a big play or what?

Guy has been ROCK solid for us. Well, a little jiggly but otherwise kinda solid.

The transfer to me was the most impressive part. The ball was basically never in his glove.

No chance CJ makes that play as CJ barely has enough arm for third and cannot pull off a transfer like that either. Uribe has a very good arm, that is probably why he stayed at shortstop even after he got fat for so long.

BTW, speaking of CJ's arm. Have you or anyone else caught the bull from Bowman saying both Peraza and Peterson lack the arm for third? While that can be argued for Peraza, that is hardly the case for Peterson. I watched him play third for the Padres last year and his arm looked fine at third (and I'd argue it's better than CJ's arm also). I am not saying this to promote moving Peterson off second though, I am just tired of reading bull**** from Bowman.

Uribe is a very good athlete. The slide at home last night was another demonstration of that.

I am all about some Juan Uribe! I'm more than happy having him around on this team. I love his grit, his hard play and he seems to constantly come up 'huge.'

MIGHT be? Clearly, would be.
