Washington Nationals at San Francisco Giants, Jul 23, 2008 7:15 PM PDT
There are statistically even match-ups, and then there are statistically even match-ups. Small sample sizes be damned, this is as close as they get.

Do well Kevin!
I’m predicting he goes 6 innings, 2 earned runs, 7 H’s, 6 K’s, 3 BB’s.
Just call me Xiefrank.

I blame Bochy for not implementing this strategy earlier.
Less arm, more talk. Raisingcain is a GAMER.

bochy said yesterday that Omar would be a bench player the rest of the season. Funny how he’s started both games since he’s said that.
by superk1ng on Jul 23, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That’s what drives me crazy, they said about a month ago that he would see less playing time.
by xanthan on Jul 23, 2008 6:37 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was actually that he would be a bench player after next week (i.e., after the non-waiver trade deadline).
So check back Aug 1 to see who’s starting.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch

but HOW will Omar EVER break out of this career-worst slump if we just bench him?!
by ExcuseMeSwing on Jul 23, 2008 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Seriously
Why are we waiting til next week to reduce Omar’s playing time? It’s not like he is going to increase his trade value in a week.

Instead of releasing him, why doesn’t he get injured … and then they keep him on as an instructional type coach? They were saying that the team now takes infield regularly, I bet he’d make a great coach.

Lot of bars, too, which open late night. It’s a pretty raunchy scene with lots of hookers (“singers”) standing outside the bars luring guys in. It’s fun to see, if only once in life. Orchard Towers is always good for a knife fight or two on the weekends.

Not sure how Washington got him. Looks like he struggled the last couple of years. I’m guessing the Angels let him go.

Bochy just doesn’t get it. Durham was traded to make room for the kids but he hits a lousy veteran for Velez in a key situation. It makes even less sense because in a one run game you want your fastest player to get on base.

If gameday is right, he has a really small mph difference between changeup and fastball. It says 1st pitch 82 mph change, second pitch 84 mph heat. Maybe the first pitch was just a really slow fastball. (or 2-seamer, sinker, slider, cutter, etc.)

the last two days I’ve tried to tune into the Giants’ game on Direct TV – HD and the game hasn’t been televised in HD. It’s usually 696-1, but that is not working. Any idea what’s going on? Thanks in advance. If you choose not to answer, I understand as well.

Thanks for the 411. I just found it bothersome that the last two games were not in HD. Giants clearly have the better HD “package” than the A’s and so I got worried that maybe Direct TV was screwing me over.
