Sadness is if he waits till the end of the season. It shows great sack to do it in the middle of the season when you know the game has passed you by.

I have to agree, I’ve enjoyed Omar while he was with the Giants, hopefully when we think back on his time with us, it will be the good times rather than the struggling moments.

My favorite was at Dodger Stadium when he started a double play turned and threw to Pedro at 3rd and caught Cody Ross sleeping at the bag.

It was on ESPN Sunday Night baseball and Jon Miller made the call. It was awesome.

plus his knee is mostly likely not completely healed, which has hindered his play some. that’s what it seems like anyway. nearly every time i see him on TV, the cameraman will zoom up on his knee brace at least once per game

Same. Omar was the greatest person and player I’ve ever spoken to. I love him for what he did for the Giants and baseball.

you can substitute the 4 or C chord

for the relative minor (Am) in that last part.
also a straight-up 5 chord sounds a little better than the D7.

Much as I love the Enchanter

If you look at the pitching stats and consider that Dempster pitches in the Central, the only fair conclusion is that our best isn’t quite a match for their No. 2 (behind Zambrano). It’s these little reminders of how far we are from true contention that depress me.

by NearestNorwich on Jul 13, 2008 10:53 AM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

true, but

its much tougher to pitch when you know if you give up one run, it might be too much. I think our pitchers would be pitching differently if we had aramis launching them into the cove.

by cumball on Jul 13, 2008 10:55 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You think? I’d say Lincecum is quite a bit better than either Dempster or Zambrano.

by Evan on Jul 13, 2008 11:18 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Dempster’s having a good year, but he’s also got a .244 BABIP. Tim’s actually been a bit unlucky on that front this year, with a .321.

I’d take Lincecum over him without even thinking about it. Dempster’s FIP is 3.98 and his xFIP is 4.07.

last year i think the first two giants games i watched were the two games timmy pitched against the phils, against hamels both times. i was like man, timmy’s good, but this hamels is ridiculous. and he is.

MLB was concerned that there wouldn’t be enough Cubs in the All Star Game.

by rightcenterfielder on Jul 13, 2008 11:39 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

just heard that hamels is pitching today – just like about every other NL all-star starting pitcher. already, timmy, webb, and dempster aren’t available for the ASG. that might be why they went with marmol instead of hamels.

by cornball on Jul 13, 2008 11:42 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

well there were still better choices out there than Marmol.

Both hits came after 0-2 counts and then waste pitches

by positiveuphemism on Jul 13, 2008 11:37 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

the first "waste pitch" almost got Lee to swing for strike three

..it was the second he undersold.

Pitches out of the zone are good, when they elicit swings. A good “waste pitch” elicits a swing.

by wcw on Jul 13, 2008 11:38 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They weren’t good pitches, tho. Wasting pitches usually just adds pitches to your pitch counts and balls to the count. Look at how often Maddux has wasted pitches.

by positiveuphemism on Jul 13, 2008 11:41 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm not defending the four bad pitches

..but that first ‘waste’ pitch to Lee was close to being useful, so I just see that as a missed assignment. Missing your spots happens to the best, and Lincecum’s game is not Maddux’s and never will be. He’s going to miss spots; the trick will be, missing them less often.

by wcw on Jul 13, 2008 11:47 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You probably aren’t going to see Maddux bite off much of the strike zone 0-2… he’s not going 2 feet off the plate, but just sayin’.

His main point is that Molina makes Timmy wait too long to throw a pitch, and it throws him off.
