PrintMilwaukee Brewers at San Francisco Giants, Jul 19, 2008 1:05 PM PDT
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 still kind of want to see if he can get his OPS+ to negative numbers. /o\
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
i thought ops+ was (OBP/lgOBP+SLG%/lgSLG%). how do you get negative?
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
OPS+ = 100 * (OBP/lgOBP* + SLG/lgSLG* – 1)

by groug on Jul 19, 2008 1:13 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
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.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
so
if your obp and slg% are both below half the league average you have an ops+ in the negative?
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
Yeah
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
Vizquel is currently being dragged down by his .175 SLG, far below half the league average of .423.

former SFG pitchers and catchers
Wonderful, heartfelt speech from Kruk. B/t that and watching him and Dravecky in the booth lat night, I’m ready to declare my undying love for him.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
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.”
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
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.

I just replaced Derek Jeter with J.J. Hardy on my fantasy team, but it doesn’t go through until tomorrow. J.J.’ s already done more than fucking Jeter.
So I guess Eye Calmness isn’t a category in your fantasy league?

Also
I’m jealous of Grant’s foul ball. I’ve been going to games for the better part of three decades and I still haven’t gotten a chance at a ball.
which side would you guys say gets more foul balls? 1st or 3rd base side?
If my head is full of white hairs by the end of this season.. I blame Brian Wilson. (I'm only 22, dammit!)
nah he'll have five 3-pitch innings in a row after this one.

why does velez and ochoa get ab’s at 2b instead of manny? this is dumb
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
And actually, a few weeks ago, after Vizquel said he wouldn’t mind sitting in favor of Burriss, I caught Bochy’s pregame show, and he told Jon Miller he’d play Burriss against “some lefties.” Which is exactly what he’s done. I’m not saying it makes sense or that it isn’t the stupidest thing ever, but there you go.
go velez!!
just don’t get caught stealing 2nd ;)
If my head is full of white hairs by the end of this season.. I blame Brian Wilson. (I'm only 22, dammit!)
I dunno about Fresno, but in his first stint in SF, it seemed like most of his CSs were actually pick-offs rather than actually trying to steal.
redundant to Bowker?
gotta give JB a real shot to succeed or fail, i reckon
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Enough to essentially replace Fred with TI in the line-up?
yeah, well, the whole world stinks, francine -- so get used to it!
Believe SF should give TI an August and September look-see
I like TI at 1b and Bowker at LF better than Bowker at 1b and Lewis in LF. Let Lewis, Schierholtz, Winn battle in a winner take all cage match to see who will be the SF RF.
Bengie
tops my list of guys I’m sick of watching this season. I have no desire to watch Alfonso either, though.
you can't block the Bocock
we should probably sign Posey
before we add him to the big league roster
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Good job Geno.
I’m out, all. Thanks again to everyone who donated to my AIDS Walk contributions. I’ll catch up with you and the Giants Sunday afternoon.

derrty
got lazy and made his defense get the out this time
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
Oy
At one point, I thought maybe Bill Hall would be an interesting fit for third base for us next year, since he was unhappy with the Brewers. He’s not exactly having a great season, though. Of course he’d still lead us in homers.
Not a lot of third base options on the FA market. Another year of Castillo at 3B? Joy.
im gonna put blind faith into denker
just cus hes 22
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
maybe somewhere
cus theres a tv next to the game on mlb.com.. but its blacked out
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
do teams
hit like 750 against us in 0-2 counts?
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
opposing pitchers are hitting .750 too
or at least it seems like it
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
probably
hes about 1/3 as good as a pitcher so if they hit 750, hed hit over 200
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
babip is like 800 right now
id consider him unlucky right now
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
batting average of balls in play
so it counts ab’s not homers, strike outs, or walks
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
at least
we are workin the count before making outs
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
Only .186 by my calculations
Though I’m hopeless at math. He has so few XBHs it should be a hard calculation to muck up, though.
was actually a clutch ab by castillo
dont want to start and inning with omar – pitcher.. auto shut out inning
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
how come
pitchers dont ever get RBI’s? (aside from timmys tripple)
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
im actually watching the red sox game
just cus its on.. but the angels have maicer izturis as their #3 hitter. which got me thinkin that maybe winn isnt the weakest #3 hitter in the game
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
i was gonna say kearns as #3
but since hes 4, im thinkin christian guzman?
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
youd think with 6 strike outs through 3 innings
that he wouldnt be giving up 5 hits in 3 innings..
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
Hey BVCE, come hang out with us
We’re lonely. You’re the only girl we know.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Molina's looking Vizquel-like in July
.133 BA, .170 OBP, .200 SLG. Thank god Bochy doesn’t give him more days off.
babip of 667
sanchez should just stick to strikin guys out

now the defense is making outs.. good to see.. doesnt need to K 2 an inning
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
Sanchez probably looks at the right side of the infield and thinks, “better take care of this myself.”
you can't block the Bocock
then looks at the left
and says the same thing
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
yes, but a 6 pitch at bat?
He usually doesn’t see 6 pitches in an entire game!
Baby steps
again
i guess im too greedy with bengie.. i expect a little more out of a clean up hitter. guess ive been spoiled for a while
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
by the way, in case you can't tell
that was a heaping portion of sarcasm on my part.
Molina sucks.
Castillo saw Bowker’s at bat and said “I can do that too!”

wish he woulda worked the count a little
sheets is at 84 pitchers.. woulda been nice to see him at the 90 pitch mark after 5

Brewers bullpen must be pretty explode-y, if they are eyeing our bullpen parts to improve.

Last inning for Dirty
Todd Jennings: Next up on the Non-prospect Backup Catcher Train. Next Stop: The Pine at AT&T Park, following a brief detour by the DL
dem were some long at bats
is that what you guys were complaining about last inning? like if the Giants bottom of the order could take a few pitches and run Sheets out of the game?
Castillo hits doubles.
there might a reason
why we are 15 games below 500 and they arent
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
why dont we double switch there
yabu due up 2nd next inning..
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
im trying to picture it
wild pitch.. bengie tries to get the runner out at home and over throws or throws sideways or something and the 2nd runner scores
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
it's hard to visualize
like doing coordinate geometry without graph paper.
you can't block the Bocock
that's great
After a wild pitch, and HBP, Counsel swings at the first pitch to fly out to Center.
Castillo hits doubles.
how many of derrtys runs are earned?
cus he doesnt deserve a 4 ER game today
proud father of the newly acquired Brandon Crawford..
the official scorer just changed it to 4 ER
which makes no sense since it was molinas error that let him come home
Thank-you FOX sports...
by not airing this game, you have saved my television. I’m sure if I was watching I’d be throwing stuff at the screen.
Can we PLEASE get rid of molina
what is the point of having a catcher that is terrible defensively, hits in to a ton of double plays with a shitty OBP. GIVE ME HOLM!
Vizquel asks for a pinch runner
Bochy says sorry, you’re the veteran, you’re my guy, you’re staying in no matter what.
Castillo hits doubles.
If Greg Maddux was on the team, we'd be ahead.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
Winn and Lewis combine again to
steal home? Or do we wait for Molina to ground out.
Castillo hits doubles.
Wow. Winn played that ball like he’s never been to AT&T.
..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.
damn
and to think we roughed up ben sheets and was up 4 to 1
Hinshaw
hurry Hinshaw is joining the party of the worst bullpen in the world
This is it
u see a rally coming??
remeber brewers let the doush backs come back from a 5 to 0
damn
this is horrible we should of won this game. we had a 4 to 1 lead on a ACE.
bullpen is horrible, i dont know why hinshaw didnt face prince fielder instead of matos.
Me too
