Hernandez fell to 1-2 and is now sporting a 15.32 ERA in three starts for the Rockies. He didn’t walk a batter, but the Reds had no problems knocking the ball around, and out of, the ballpark. He needs to be better against the Giants next week.

but he was markedly better tonite on tv then he’s been on radio this whole year. no long-ass pauses, and he actually said some interesting shit.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
I couldn’t tell if he was better tonight because I usually just tune him out because it’s so easy to do. He’s new at the whole thing, so he could be getting better.
He’ll get it down. It takes a while to ease into something like doing commentary. At least he’s trying.
Would you rather have JT or Joe Buck doing your Giants color commentary.

Honestly, I think we’re spoiled by that talent that we have had, and continue to have, that when someone as raw as J.T. makes the scene who isn’t quite as seasoned it is jarring. I’m certainly hopping he continues to improve, because i’m sure it’s very important to him (what with his dad and all), and will always prefer JT over 99% of all color announcers out there/

…and by “hopping”, i mean literally jumping up and down…like a rabbit.

True, he could get better and it’s not like I expected him to be Harry Kalas or Vin Scully in his first broadcast. I’ve mostly heard him on the radio and his patented HUGE ASS PAUSES were big enough to drive trucks through.
Methinks
y’all are prejudiced based on the radio stuff, because I heard him for the 1st time tonight and I think he’s MUCH better than you’re all saying..
i don't think so
It wasn’;t even like the same guy tonight. On radio he was f’ing GHASTLY. xanthan isn’t exaggerating about the pauses!
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
He may have paused a LITTLE BIT less, but there are still weird pauses in weird places.
At least this time he seemed to be more connected to what Kuip was doing.
Now he needs to work on sounding less quaaludy.

could it be the company? Maybe he’s worse working with Flem on the radio because he doesn’t know him as well as Kuip?
good call
He’s likely to feel much more comfortable with Kuip.

Is it wrong that Ishikawa, Sandoval, and Lewis make me mildly optimistic about 2009 being non-horrible?
NOOOO HOPE = INEVITABLE LET DOWN
I still remember the huge amount of “We can compete this year!” posts before this season started.
Sample from those posts: “This Velez kid sure is exciting and might be able to contribute!”

UPDATE
At the end of yesterday’s gameday, I mentioned someone on the LJ community wanted to try Ishikawa at third next year. Having been informed he’s lefthanded, the same person now wants to try Pat Burrell at the position.
apart from the fact that he’s not on the Giants … that’s fine with me

dude who was posting as sign posey and Fat Lasagna ate some of the brown acid and started saying racist shit. Mods squashed it right quick.
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
A guy with the username “sign posey” posted a random message in the first thread speculating about which racial group produces the best drivers, using a variety of ethnic slurs.
Then, a guy with the username “Fat Lasagna” (I think) posted a message which said something like, “LOL your all fagz fagz fagz.”
Same guy.

Best game ever
It’ll probably end badly, but I’d like to see Pablo at third again. Odd to see an infielder throw straight over the top like that, but he’s got some arm strength no doubt.
If anyone is still up, USA/Japan Olympic baseball is on USA Network. Yu Darvish is warming up in the Japan pen.
