The WoW forums are known for horrible posters
not the least of which is everyone clamoring to be FIRST!!! Especially to blue (moderator) posts.
It makes me sad every time I see it here because it is just so freaking useless and I don’t want to see these posts degenerate. I don’t post a lot but I almost always follow along. In terms of time here, I am an old-timer, but…again, not much in the way of posting. Lot of grumping, though.

Im not comparing the numbers
I’m comparing the talent. Griffey wasn’t healthy as much as Bonds to put up the numbers Bonds did. Griffey was very good on the bases and got walked plenty.

But the numbers show that Bonds contributed more for his teams
The walks weren’t even that close. Neither were the stolen bases. Barry once stole fifty bases with a decent success percentage.
Of course Griffey was immensely talented but even in his best years (his back to back 56 homer seasons) Bonds contributed more. Especially when you take into account Griffey hit in the Kingdome.
Only 949 games until the end of Zito's contract
Similar players with similar bodies, in their younger years
One might even conjecture that Griffey’s great HR numbers helped motivate Bonds to..ahem.. allegedly juice
I don't think that walks and stolen bases
are the determining factor in a player. They matter, but Griffey was a 5-tool player, Barry never was, he didn’t have the arm.

so, im not getting further into this arguement. If you think that there is no discussion, that Bonds was CLEARLY the better player, I think you are a little biased.

Fair enough
We’re watching a game and I actually didn’t want to get into this discussion. But I’m not biased.
Only 949 games until the end of Zito's contract
Here's how I rate Ken and Barry
power: even
hitting for average: even
drawing walks: Barry
fielding: even
speed/baserunning: Barry
I don’t really know much about Griffey’s arm. But I will take your word for it and give it to Griffey. That makes three evens, one (minor category) for Griffey and two (one minor category) for Barry.
I really think you are discounting the walks too much. Barry essentially did what Griffey did but he also walked more.
Only 949 games until the end of Zito's contract
It depends which Barry
Power: Late-Barry, Early-Griffey
Avg: even
Walks: even
Fielding: Griffey
Speed/baserunning: Early-Barry, Late-Griffey

its matters when u miss 438 games due to injury, his other stats would be boosted, as well as walks

i know you guys are done
but Barry was faster. got more walks and steals earlier in his career. (ie before Griffey got hurt)
and OPS+. Griffey Jr had 2 over 169 (170 and 171). Bonds had 13. 6 over 200.
It was an absolute joke that Griffey was player of the decade in the 1990s. Barry was a bigger threat at the plate and on the bases.

We really don’t have anyone much better in the minors ready to come up. Letting him pitch is the only way for him to right himself enough to get someone to take a portion of the back end of the contract when the youngsters are ready to climb the ladder.

Velez singles to LF
Griffey over throws home, Lewis comes around to score.

more specifically
the catcher chased down the overthrow and realized, too late, that the pitcher was as well.
Fred took off from third when he realized nobody was covering home. Hence the confusion/excitement.

Even better
This is the most compelling bad team in the history of ever. Combine that with Grant’s writing and I’m officially thrilled about the rest of this season.
(For now.)

Dusty, as SF manager
was never given thoroughbred speed
Plenty of chuckwagons though
Eugenio. Our own little Otis Nixon/Chone Figgens!
Er, hopefully.
Only 949 games until the end of Zito's contract

The only time we don’t worry is with 2 outs.

don't think of it as 99 pitches
think of it as coming into the 9th with a 2 hitter, 10 K shutout in tact.

i think they wasted that trend on Zito’s last start. Seeing as how that turned out, they may be boycotting

double steal...?
Yes? No? Is this when you try it?
No, gotta be a lefty on the mound. Runner leaving first distracts the pitcher, allows runner on third to score.
thanks.
follow up question: can’t velez go when they throw to second or durham just gets second for free?
Question is what do they do with Bengie? Roll him out of the way so Velez can score?

My head agrees, but I’d have let Sanchez go for it anyway. The long wait in the dugout probably hurts him more than the 99 pitch count

Averaging Only Two Runs
The Giants averaged only two runs a game in the three game winning streak. We have to start scoring some runs and not rely on shutting out or nearly shut out every team.

Starting Pitching
When you go into an important 3-game series with Cain-Lincecum-Sanchez on the board you’re a threat to broom
the opposition into oblivion if you have ANY offense at all.
Just How Long
Just how long can they stay that sharp? It is too much to ask them to shut the other team out every game as our offense score two runs. Cain knows how that worked for him last year.

Is reaching .500 a pipe dream?
Mostly solid pitching, getting-it-done relief, so-so-to-good defense, speed. Add hitting and the team could be fairly (and more reliably) potent.
the pitching will have to keep it up (and probably improve a bit on the Cain and Zito fronts) and the young guys will have to not hit a wall, but I’m starting to think it’s doable.
oh god, I’m getting optimistic.

predict that your team is going to be the worst in the HISTORY of baseball, you dont have to acheive much to be better than that.
