Re: Lincecum &amp;amp; the kids

I get it.

The more Timmy feels like he's a Fresno Grizzly and not a San Francisco Giant, the closer he'll approach those glorious unhittable salad days in Fresno.

This is not Boch short-changing The Boy; this is a masterful managerial gambit. Viva Guillermo, Nate, and Kevin!

(btw, any of you see Guillermo's Gameday picture? Swear to god, he looks like he's pushing 60.)

Sounds about right

Always interesting to see how Bochy loads the line-up up with consecutive LHH/RHH. Maybe the opposing manager likes this.

Would love to see some splash action from Nate. Franny at SS - get lots of Ks Lincy. Maybe GRod can get his first ML hits today.

Kind of a weird look, isn't it? But Molina and Bonds need their rest, Aurilia is injured, and Vizquel is clearly dragging at the plate. And we're not facing Frank Thomas, Vernon Wells or Lyle Overbay today so it's clearly a fair fight.

Do your thing, Timmy, and we'll find a way to scratch out a few runs.

He's not pitching too badly... five strikeouts and has looked good after the first inning.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 6/13

It must be brutal to be an athlete or any sort of celebrity in the Internet era, as any little mistake or rumor is commented on instantly and widely. This isn't to say that Lincecum didn't pitch bad, but rather that just because information flow has sped up doesn't mean decisions need to be made quicker than they were in the past. Very few players in general, whether hitters or pitchers, dominate right away. Timmy just needs more time and many more starts, and fortunately the team is struggling enough anyway that it's a good year for him to get this...

A reminder

Just in case anybody wants to analyze Lincecum's game-by-game:

He's in a tough stretch, but for some perspective, look at the good starts. They're impressive. Cain "hit a wall" last year, and he's been great ever since. Even this year, Cain's crappy W/L record belies a wonderful and generally consistent performance.

He basically seemed to hit a wall in the 7th inning in the Philly game... since then he's been pitching poorly. But he's talented and he's a hard worker, so I'm sure he'll turn it around soon. We can afford to let him work through his struggles.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 6/13

This is kinda interesting from the Jays' radio broadcast (and because the game has lost its interest):

Alan Ashby is the color guy and, apropos of Verlander's no-hitter, during the last inning they were talking about the three no-hitters Ashby caught, and at some point he sort of clammed up when asked what sort of mementos he kept from them. "I had my three gloves from those games. But, uh, they've all been stolen."

"What, from your house?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Ya know, Jack Morris said that the one time he left the alarm off at his house he came home and his world series ring was gone. And there's strike three."

"Yeah, well, I think I know the guy who might've taken my gloves..." [commercial break music swallows the rest].

Sad story to break up a depressing game.

Hmmm... Accardo vs. Giants in the 9th...
I guess I will click ye olde gameday back on.

Not that it's really likely but who plays 3B if the Giants tie it up?

Whatever! He had an ERA of almost five last year! Who cares if everything else about him indicated that he was a much better pitcher than that! Shea Hillenbrand was a PMLV! Who could have guessed that a guy who traditionally stinks it up in the second half would stink it up for us?

Accardo's other option was a giant Macy's parade-sized float of a middle finger with the words "Up yours, Sabean" below it.

Man, 4 runs is usually enough to win with our staff. I'll chalk this one up as an aberration. More good stuff from the pen, though.

Can we skip the trip to Boston and just concede the games? I'd rather rest our guys than have the Red Sox beat up on them over the weekend.

Good news: Brian Sabean has left us in position to be in contention by the next century, at least.

Giants have never won with G-rod starting. Clearly, we need to bring up the Kanoodler to replace him.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 6/13

Oh well. We still won the series. Timmy looked bad and Messenger blew up, but I'm not concerned. Sanchez has been doing well since he was sent down to Fresno, including pitching in AAA.

All in all, a nice break from the utter crap we've waded through in the last week or so.

A lot of the hits off of Timmy were weak seeing eye grounders too. Oh well, he was going to have a game like this sooner or later. Hall of Famers have to take their lumps sometime.

I didn't watch or listen to the game as I'm at work. Thanks for breaking it down in stereo.

Oh and this just came to mind: I saw a dude in a long sleeved I DID MY JOB Mando shirt at the 21st Amendment last night. I pointed it out to the Mayor of 311 while we had a pre-game bite. I wonder if he was one of us.

Or at least sweeping trendy eating establishments near the ballpark. I kid. I got a kick out of it. I really should have talked to the guy and see if he was one of us.

Could it be time for the Sabean version? The serene visage of Sabes replacing the "49", followed by a generous listing of all the unspeakable trades, FA signings and DFA-able position players from the farm system?

Or has this already been suggested?

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 6/13

Well, I'm not sure if I want to admit it with all the "idiotic fans" comments above, but I was there. It was nice and sunny. I decided it was OK to put Bonds in as the last PH in the 9th because I'd like to see him hit an HR and get closer to breaking the accursed record. Let's move on it!

When I say nice and sunny, I mean a nice 85 degrees in which I got my right arm sunburned off. Back to Fresno.
