no it's just a stupid trend here

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.

I’m very pleased with it so far. It doesn’t suck like it did a few years back and I finally, after five years, can listen to Kruk/Kuip again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’ve been the best man and now the maid of honor in the span of three years and I didn’t get to throw either of my best friends a dirty party. I am very disappointed. :/

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.

Did Dan the Man die and I wasn't told?

Where is he? He hasn’t been in the lineup for days not even to PH.

Oh well, if you aren’t going to play him then send him down and bring up Nate.

Sanchez is dealing so could the offense (namely the VETS) get some runs for him.

We need this win. Go Giants….

With Velez on third, no way you throw through. I’m sure they would’ve cut it off or just let Durham take the bag. They couldn’t afford to give up the run.

Which, of course, they did anyway. But down 2-0 in the eighth, you play to avoid giving up the run, don’t really have a choice.

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.

by sb on Apr 26, 2008 7:56 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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.
