Open Gameday Thread, 7/19
Milwaukee Brewers @ San Francisco Giants

Does anyone have last night's game still on their DVR? Fourth inning, section 103, Mike Cameron was up, and I actually looked the ball into my glove this time. I doubt I made it on the air, but you never know....

While the downtime was needed, Sanchez has not pitched since Wednesday July 9th so will keep an eye on his control.

I think we are going to lose today. And by lose I mean win. And by win I mean get closer to a top pick in the draft. And by getting closer to a top pick in the draft I mean lose today.

Were you sitting right in the front row? I saw a guy make a great snag on a foul ball in the front row.

I’ve convinced myself I’m never going to catch a foul ball ever (or even have the opportunity to catch one, I think I repel foul balls). I hate you Grant. :(

OPS+ = 100 * (OBP/lgOBP* + SLG/lgSLG* – 1)

Because otherwise, if you’re league average in both SLG and OBP, you have OPS+ = 100*(1+1) = 200. That’s why it’s necessary to subtract one.

There was a letter in the Chronicle Datebook this morning that said “I’ve listened to every announcer group in the majors and Kruk and Kuip are the biggest homers there are!”
And I was like “There is no way you can listen to the White Sox announcers and come away thinking Hawk is less of a homer than Kruk and Kuip.”

obviosuly kruk and kuip are homers; that’s their job, to advertise giants’ baseball. but they manage to combine that with a professional, humorous approach and aren’t nearly as bombastic (or drunk) as the announcers of some other team.s

The Cardinals as well. When you actively root for a ball to clear the fence, and you are an announcer, you are a homer.

I forgot the game wasn’t on tv. On the plus side, I did get to see a couple of seconds of overly well-groomed men in suits, one of them called Brother Johnny, very stiffly explaining why the Church of Christ is the only true church. So that’s a plus.
