ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Wil Myers has some great memories at Tropicana Field.Monday night didnt produce any more.Myers went 1 for 4 in his first game back at the ballpark since a blockbuster trade two years ago, and the San Diego Padres lost 8-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays.The AL Rookie of the Year in 2013 while with the Rays was dealt to the Padres as part of a three-team, 11-player deal in December 2014.When I was here with Tampa, I didnt necessarily know what it was like to be a big leaguer and playing every day, Myers said. I was kind of young and dumb. That kind of comes with the growing pains.Myers has 23 home runs and 21 stolen bases, giving him a chance to become the Padres first 30-30 player.I really felt like this year was the first time Ive really learned how to play the game the right way, Myers said. I wish I could have given Tampa more of that, but its better to learn later than never.Drew Smyly allowed just a solo homer over seven innings of one-hit ball, and Logan Forsythe and Kevin Kiermaier each homered for the Rays.I thought he mixed his pitches well, Myers said. We just didnt play that well, didnt come out with the intensity that we should have early in the game. Thats something we need to fix. I think well do that going forward.Alexei Ramirez hit his fifth homer and Derek Norris walked twice, and those were the only baserunners against Smyly (5-11).Brad Boxberger and Kevin Jepsen completed a three-hitter, with Jepsen allowing a single to Myers and a homer to Yangervis Solarte in the ninth.Forsythe hit his fifth homer in his last 13 games off Luis Perdomo (5-7) to put the Rays up 3-1 in the second.He made some real nice adjustments, but for us offensively we dug too much of a hole, swung up in the zone a lot, Padres manager Andy Green said. We just didnt have very many good at-bats against Smyly.Kiermaier had a three-run drive in a five-run eighth that made it 8-1. He had three hits and two stolen bases.Logan Morrison had an RBI double and Forsythe added a sacrifice fly during the eighth.Perdomo allowed three runs and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He hit two batters during the first, including Morrison with the bases loaded.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (right shoulder inflammation) will throw batting practice Tuesday.MOVING DAYPadres: INF Luis Sardinas was acquired from Seattle for cash considerations or a player to be named and optioned to Triple-A El Paso. Green said Sardinas was obtained with the intent of being one of the names we add to the mix, possibly playing shortstop for us in the future.UP NEXTPadres: RHP Edwin Jackson (3-2), Tuesday nights starter, walked eight and threw 149 pitches in a no-hitter while with Arizona on June 25, 2010 at Tropicana Field.Rays: Rookie LHP Blake Snell (3-5) looks to rebound Tuesday night from an outing Wednesday at Toronto that lasted just 1 2/3 innings.Cheap Vans Shoes China .

The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents.Players around the country are shaking their heads at the appointment of Greg Chappell as an interim selector, five years after the Argus review removed him from the same position. They have a right to do so.While it is understandable that Cricket Australias board of directors found an internal candidate for this interim role, Chappells decidedly mixed history with domestic cricket in particular makes it at best a curious call, at worst a further indication all is not well among the decision-makers at the top of the game down under.Chappell was the prime architect of the Futures League, a development brainstorm devised to end the clogging up of the system perceived to have been created when the Sheffield Shield became more or less fully professional with the improvement of player wages in 1998.The Futures League replaced the second XI competition, restricting teams to playing no more than three players over the age of 23 in any team, while also adding experimental playing regulations like first innings limited to 96 overs, scrapping the availability of the second new ball, and offering extra points for wickets taken by spin bowlers. Matches were played over three days instead of four.It was a Rubicon moment, where the players started to feel that the Sheffield Shield was being devalued because the next tier down from what was thought to be the worlds premier domestic competition had been stripped back to being an under-age tournament.In particular, the over restrictions and reduction in game time from four days to three were devised to encourage attacking cricket but they effectively reduced opportunities for batsmen to spend time in the middle. That change in particular now looks to have been ruinous, given the current paucity of players cut out to bat all day.The whole concept was skewered in the pages of the Argus review:The panel undersstands that the Futures League was designed to fill a perceived gap in the pathway for players aged 19-23 (i.dddddddddddde. between U19s and State/State 2nd XI cricket). Last season Futures League was therefore a 6 round competition with 3-day games, and permitted teams only 3 players of 23 years of age or over. Second XI matches occurred on an ad hoc basis. However feedback about the Futures League age restrictions was very strongly negative, both in relation to the standard of the competition and its effect on Grade cricket. The panels preference, therefore, is that the Futures League revert to a 2nd XI competition.The same document effectively led to Chappells dismissal as a member of the national selection panel, as it was considered his other role of national talent manager should not permit enough time to also choose senior Australian sides. Chappell has recently downscaled his time in the national talent manager role to three days a week, after the appointment of the former Test wicketkeeper Graham Manou to oversee the junior talent pathway.Interestingly, there were two attendees of the extraordinary board meeting (a telephone hook-up) who had a direct role in the Argus review itself: the former captain and board director Mark Taylor, and the chief executive James Sutherland, who vigorously defended the reviews conclusions and recommendations on Wednesday. Curious, then, that the board settled on its current selection course.So it is understandable then that players are questioning Chappells return to the selection panel, albeit on a temporary basis. Cricketers are known to have long memories, and as one noted this morning: Im just trying to work out what the cut off age for the baggy green will be now... ' ' '
