Daily Friar 4.16.12
The Padres lost yet another game yesterday. The only difference is this time it wasn’t entirely their own doing. After coming back against Clayton Kershaw and tieing the game up 4-4, they got screwed over by a bad call by homeplate umpire Dale Scott. I won’t go into much detail here as multiple articles below delve into it. But I will say that you could put this up there with that BS Ed Hochuli call the Chargers faced a few years ago. Also I will be from here on out putting the words triple play in quotes, because I refuse to see it as an actual triple play. Here are your Padres links for today:
