He really is. The first time I saw him pitching up close I was depressed because he's skinnier than I am.

In our house he has been known as "Little Pitcher" since his debut, when my wife saw him on TV and asked, "Who's the Giants' little pitcher?"

by 2X2L on Apr 3, 2008 7:53 AM PDT up reply actions  

(southern california + no cable)

Does he have any command, or does he just throw whatever nasty pitch he can, somewhere near the strike zone? Seems like bengie's glove moves a lot on every pitch. What say the regular watchers?

this mlb extra innings commercial

really is irritating. not because it is on every break, or because it has the cubs (wearing a home jersey) on the left side of the bug... but because even in a commercial, the giants are losing 7-4. but hey, it has the giants with 4 runs. a positive.

by mlb22 on Apr 2, 2008 11:01 PM PDT reply actions  

is it just me

or was the pitching really badly mismanaged in this game?

wasn't the point of not starting timmy to make sure he didn't pitch with a rain delay in the middle of his outing? yet waiting till the 4th to let him pitch made that exact thing happen.

2002? I'm over it. But I'll never be over Rich Aurilia.

Rajai Davis: fast.

by Mike Benjamin Hit King on Apr 2, 2008 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

Apparently, both managers got incorrect weather reports saying the rain was another hour or two away -- hence, they brought in the starters to go what they thought would be 3+ innings

by wedge on Apr 2, 2008 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

so why not

let them start and pull them after the delay?

2002? I'm over it. But I'll never be over Rich Aurilia.

by wjackalope on Apr 2, 2008 11:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

and also

why let him pitch after the delay at all? I missed a bunch of the game - how long did the delay end up being?

2002? I'm over it. But I'll never be over Rich Aurilia.

by wjackalope on Apr 2, 2008 11:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Let me reword : At first they thought a downpour was imminent and the game wouldn't get to the 5th. During the game, they got told, "Nah, you got a couple more hours" - so *then* they brought in the starters. Then the downpour hit as promised, and the delay happened. Or that's my understanding, anyway.

As for why let him pitch after the delay, uh.... i got nothin'.

That was easily the worst overall managed game I've seen in years. I don't think I agreed with a single thing that Bochy did between Velez's steal in the first and Wilson's appearance in the 8th.

But we won. so, what the fuck? I'll take it.

From Hank's story today in the Chronicle::


Bochy defended the decision, saying, "If we thought we were going to hurt his arm, we wouldn't have done it."

In related news, Alan Greenspan defended his decisions, saying, "If we though subprime lending was risky, we would have regulated it."

Winning

I stayed up till almost 3 last night watching the game in Boston (MLB.tv is the greatest thing to hit the internet since online gambling), and as a result I missed my class today. Normally, I would've gone to bed, but the fact that we actually had a shot at winning kept me glued to my computer. It only made me realize how much Sabean sucks because if he had drafted properly and put together a decent team, we would've won in the 5th and I could've gotten some sleep.

Also, how bad do the Dodgers suck? If we didn't suck and fuck up so many times over the course of the series, we could've had a shot at sweeping and would've easily taken 2 of 3. What happens when they play a team that couldn't beat their own class A affiliate? ahahahaha

I did not get a chance to follow last nights game.

But looking at the box score just how in the Wide, Wide , world of Sports did Rowand only get 3 AB’s , No BB’s and no HBP while every one else got 5 Plate appearances?

I am a Giants fan. Thus I enjoy my pain.

by daveinexile on Apr 3, 2008 9:20 AM PDT reply actions  

Only the first four spots in the order got 5 PAs -- if Molina had reached in the ninth, Rowand would have come up for the fifth time. Rowand was 0-3 with a sacrifice fly (the one Ethier/Jones let drop).

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
