Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

Chicago Cubs @ San Francisco Giants


My hopes for the game:

  1. The Giants score ten runs.
  2. Kevin Correia goes seven strong innings.
  3. Sergio Romo pitches the eighth.
  4. Osiris Matos pitches the ninth.

I'm no logimagician, but I think this scenario breaks down right around point #1. A fella can dream, though.

W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP

How is Romo?

I heard on the Sabean show that he was a bit…excited…in his first appearance.

Not as excited as his pops.

Dempster gave up 8 runs in his last start. Therefore, he will pitch a complete game shutout tonight. It’s just science.

This seems like a good year for relievers to become starters. Ryan Dempster, Justin Duchschererererreeer, and of course, our very own Jonathan Sanchez. I don’t really have anything insightful to say, just an interesting observation.

This seems like a good year

For people to have truly breakout seasons. I mean, I can’t remember a Baseball Season in which so many players came out of seemingly nowhere to become some of the best players in the game: Timmy, Volquez, Uggla, Fukudome, Duschererererere, etc. There’s a shitload of ‘em.

by ololo3 on Jul 2, 2008 5:59 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I wouldn’t say Fukudome is one of the best in the game. He’s pretty good not not spectacular. And we know he came from Japan. ;) But otherwise, I agree with you.

Probably the last time so many players rose from obscurity to put up massive power numbers was, um – when did the steroid era begin?

by can of corn on Jul 2, 2008 6:31 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Timmy came from nowhere!? He was a top 10 pick and a candidate at one point to go #1. Going into last season, he was almost universally seen as one of the top pitching prospects in the game. He’s the opposite of a player coming from nowhere.

by jcb9 on Jul 2, 2008 6:46 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Really, he won the Golden Spikes Award and he became the first player ever to be named both the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year.

Obscurity, yeah.

by timmeh on Jul 2, 2008 6:50 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hamilton was a huge prospect, too...

And he’s having a true breakout year this season. Lots of people are having breakout seasons, whether they were prospected to, or not.

by ololo3 on Jul 2, 2008 6:57 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i think i heard Kruk say this

a lot of them prefer to be starters anyway, rarely is any pitcher a reliever for his entire career. Perhaps this is just them knowing they gotta be good to keep on starting.

Looking at the Fresno box score

I noticed that Ehire Adrianza was starting at SS. Can anyone explain this promotion?
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Adrianza%20%20SS&pos=&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=501303
Also, why hasn’t schierholtz started the past couple games?

by superk1ng on Jul 2, 2008 7:01 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Whoa Adrianza all the way up from the rookie team? I did see Casey Bond listed in a box score in a Fresno game this year. C Bond is with the Salem-Keizer short season rookie team.

Yea, I’m listening to the game right now. Apparently he’s VERY advanced defensively but they didn’t mention his offense. He got a base hit in his first AB though(line drive), which is pretty cool.

Hmm.

Looking at Bleed Cubbie Blue, there’s discussion about how the Cubs should light Correia up, because he’s “a nomadic character,” which apparently means he’s a journeyman (which is amusing, since he’s been with the Giants organization his whole career thus far) and “he fucking sucks.”

Thus, Correia must return to his late 2007 form tonight. MUST.

Also, they have like 5+ times more comments then us, which is weird – usually, whenever I check he other team blog, we’re the chatty ones. What’s become of us, McCoven!?

Ryan Dempster has an annoying delivery – the part were he moves his glove around just before he throws a pitch. I just wanted to say that. I hope the Giants keep him in the stretch position all night, if not to score runs, then at least to keep him from doing his windup. Am I right, guys?!

There is some unintended truth here: generally the teams that lead the league in double plays also finish near the top in OBP and Runs Scored. On a macro-level, GIDPS often mean that everything is going right.

I have a theory that the further you go in academia, the less your brain actually works.

My example: last semester I was reading an essay on decision making process theory (international relations stuff), sipping a spiced latte and pondering the meanings in the text. I smelled the scent of spices very strongly all of a sudden. Somehow in my reading, I ended up with spiced latte in my hair. I cannot tell you how it got there, but part of my hair was sticky and smelled like cinnamon and nutmeg heaven.
