Matt Palmer looks pretty good so far. Other than the hits, walks, and number of pitches thrown.

Limp Bizkit: definitely on the 5 worst bands of all time list.

I dunno about 5. Maybe 10 or 15.

I think it’s obvious that we can all agree on the best and worst bands ever would be, right? Right?

You did before?

by jcb9 on Aug 21, 2008 2:06 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I was indifferent before because he hadn't done anything to make me not like him

His first start was horrible, but you can’t blame him for having a shitty first start. Now, however….

whiffed on the bunt on a squeeze play so Rohlinger was hung out to dry at the plate

Rohl shoulda just rolled over

who ever was at the plate.. Schierholtz woulda done it.

Forget Palmer, Fuck Bochy

Retarded time to call the squeeze, IMO.

Eugeniooooooo!!!!

by FairweatherFan on Aug 21, 2008 2:07 PM PDT   0 recs

Agreed. In fact last night with Bengie was a better time to squeeze than just now.

by Hobbes2d on Aug 21, 2008 2:08 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

agreed

all he needed was a grounder up the middle. especially with two rookies involved, don’t call the squeeze, just hope your pitcher can make solid contact.

by Victorious Secret on Aug 21, 2008 3:18 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

or even if he gets out, you have the leadoff hitter up next

Squeezing is only a good idea when You’ve got a whole lotta nothing coming up after the current batter, and the current batter, sucks, and is a good bunter.

Eugeniooooooo!!!!

by FairweatherFan on Aug 21, 2008 2:09 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Correct. No reason put the squeeze on. Winn, who is hot as hell on deck. Pitcher on the ropes. Palmer actually looks like he can hit a bit. Stupid play. Got them right out of the jam. Stupid.

To the stat cave, nerds!

Opposing pitchers OBP is .282 against the Giants, highest in the NL. 4 American League pitching staffs are above us (lower opposing pitchers OBP). I found this by the split of #9 hitters against team staffs. There’s the occasional pitcher hitting 8tjh, but not many.

No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.
