ok pick up timmy time
richie single bengie single Pablo DOUBLES rowand singles we win by one cuz Wilson gives up a solo shot in ninth
Looks shopped.
Velez would’ve had to catch the ball to throw it.

That’s insta savvy right there.

I’m guessing he just threw the ball, but it also looks like it’s about to hit him in the face. I’ll pretend it’s the latter.

he did play Velez in LF even though we have at least two other players with more outfield experience.
and wtf? that isn’t even a logical response to my comment.

no
its just a response to the whole Bochy hatred in general. its probably somewhat warranted just a bit overblown, had Velez simply made the catch no one would have questioned Bochy’s decision making for that game. I know Velez doesnt have much outfield experience, but just about anyone in the majors should be able to make that play, I’m not taking him off the hook for that game.
Funny, I thought it was the job of the manager to, you know, exercise judgement.

Same here. I used to listen to him on my way home because Sacramento drive radio sucks. Now I can’t even listen to him after stuff like that. I loved the interviews with Young. Still like Tolbert.
That’s exactly why listen (well, flip back and forth between NPR and that). Grant Napier is the worst human being in the world.

All I Can Think of
Is the way Peavy used to be really good and now he’s hurt all the time.
Methinks I smell a trend with this Bochy character
"All the time"
He had over 30 pitches per year 2005, 2006, and 2007. He has 26 starts this year.

Also
I’m suspicious of those two plays being called hits. I didn’t them, so were they legit? I’m just suspicious because they are in Arizona.
Catcher are base running. Hitters are offense.
At this point, who gives a shit??? Velez fucked up. Bochy fucked up putting him in LF.
A gamer does NOT wear a foam finger, a dork does.
I think they were the kind of hits that have to be scored as such. They weren’t touched, just badly misjudged. Plays like that are supposed to be scored as hits. Blame goes to Velez and Rowand, not the official scorekeeper.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
I just saw the replay (as the “highlight” of the game) – Velez was just rooted to the spot, unable to break for the ball. WTF??? Assbite.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Yup. Broke in , froze , jumped.

Bochy screwed the pooch so many times this game it was ridiculous. Randy Johnson is no longer unhittable, you don’t have to start all righties. You don’t compromise your defense, especially with your best pitcher on the mound, and how the fuck do you let Omar Vizquel bat for himself in the ninth inning when you have a bench full of the lefty hitters you benched??

NOOOO A TIM LOSS
seriously, how long has it been since he’s LOST a game? Cy young chances taking a hit. VICTORY BONUS
These last two nights are the type of thing that the BBWAA and ESPN will point to as being the reason why Webb should win the Cy Young and not Lincecum. They can just point to a couple games where Webb “stepped up” and Lincecum supposedly did not, as justification for their vote. They do this type of garbage every year. “Well, (insert candidate name here) just won the MVP with this clutch HR in this key game tonight!!”
Just basing the whole vote on two games saves them the trouble of having to pay attention to the rest of the season, or, heaven forbid, actually look at some statistics.
I know I’m probably in the minority here, or maybe even alone, but this is why I don’t really care all that much if Timmy wins the Cy Young or not. I know he’s the best pitcher in the league. The league’s hitters know, too. So does Webb and so does Timmy.
Oh, and Bochy’s an idiot for leaving Timmy in the game.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
Agree
with everything you said. I didn’t watch the game…but what the fuck was tim doing in for more than 6 innings after he just threw fucking 136 fucking pitches?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Molina gave Bochy the perfect opportunity to remove Tim when he hit the homerun. His pitch count was getting up there and he could have left with a no decision instead of a loss. Maybe he figured he could get him to 20 wins if he left him in there. Timmy pitched well tonight, but this was his least dominating outing in quite some time. Everyone but Bochy seemed to grasp that it was because of the pitch count in his previous outing.
Brian Sabean's new dad: Firm believer in corporal punishment
He would of had a chance, and I mean a chance, to get 20 had Velez NOT been in LF.
A gamer does NOT wear a foam finger, a dork does.
That's another thing that frustrates me...
Like winning 20 games has some huge degree of statistical significance. Like winning an award voted on by a bunch of raging morons really matters.
Bochy would sacrifice wins and risk Lincecum’s future for what to me amounts to fool’s gold.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
There’s no such thing as stepping up against the Giants. Webb had two chances to “step up” against the Dodgers and he was routed both times. When the Dbacks needed him to stay in first place he let them down. No way what happened in this series affects anything.
Brian Sabean's new dad: Firm believer in corporal punishment
I’d like to believe that but I feel strongly that most voters, no matter whether they’re voting for Cy Young or POTUS, are morons. I expect Webb will win the Cy Young, we’ll all scream about how Timmy was totally robbed, and no one at ESPN will give a fucking shit.
No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.
If Webb wins I’m moving to Canada!
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.

WAYYYYYY
that Tim gets the Cy young. Not a chance in hell. Nobody who works at ESPN has any idea the guy even exists, and the voters will just shoo him off because of his team’s performance, which is fucking bullshit. Being 17-4 on this team is an unbelievable accomplishment, not to mention the fact that he leads/ is in the top 5 in the league in stats with actual importance to winning games.
If Randy doesn't initially start in then Tim's the man.
Run that fucker out of town on a rail.

Not to belabor the same point, but wasn’t Bochy watching earlier this year when Freddie Lewis went 4 for 4 against Johnson?? Why should he be afraid to start a lefty??
Brian Sabean's new dad: Firm believer in corporal punishment
Dude
do you not realize that Bochey is a terrible manager who’s wedded to old baseball stereotypes? It’s not really a joke, though many DO joke about it. He is awful at managing baseball teams.
Hopefully new owner William “Duke” Neukem fires his sorry ass and Dave Righetti go with him.

Maybe I should then save my 1500 bucks i spent on season tickets.
A gamer does NOT wear a foam finger, a dork does.
Reasons to watch next year
Lincecum is awesome, Sandoval may be a star. Is that worth the money? YOU DECIDE>
I like duke neukem
henceforth I shall only refer to him as that. Also, the Giants havn’t fired a manger since 1904 or something
He won’t fire Bochy. If Neukom wants to rebuild next year, it makes no sense to pay off the manager when they’re not going to win anyway. And if he decides to go the other way and attempt to contend, he’ll probably bring in a couple of veterans and then he will think Bochy is a good manager for that type of team.

When can we get the regular left fielder back?
Ehh , that really sucked. To be in the midst of all that…that Blankness , and watch Lincecum laid low.
Still – it’s 2 sweeps to one!
Here’s something odd we noticed , and I’d like to know if it’s a leaguewide phenomenon or just my overactive imagination – although it happened too many times to be a passing embolism. Vic Jr. noticed it too.
Just after the inane crowd motivational signals started up (“PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER!” “MAKE SOME NOISE!”) , sure enough noise began – but it wasn’t a natural crowd sound – no , from up near the upper deck above the pressboxes came this canned crowd noise. Kind of like surf breaking on a beach. Then the crowd sort of caught up to it…
