Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

Open Gameday Thread, 3/30

Matt Cain's last start of the spring. I'm sure the Giants will score a boatload of runs for him, just to get his hopes up before the season starts.

i was at the Stockton Thunder game last night. They showed the scores on the big screen, cheers when the giants lost 1-0, cheers when the A’s won 7-6 against the Rockies (who are tearing up the spring might I add). When I questioned why all the cheers for things that mean nothing, my wife (the A’s fan) told me to shut up, an excellent retort.

Real baseball soon, please.

Respectfully disagree. ST has worked me into frothy lather for opening day, anything but boring. i would be bored if we had only overpaid geezers hitting below .250- there are a few, but not like recent years. lots of kids I’ve wanted to see, some making serious statements, and holyfuckingpablo. Will be a solid basket case by the time Lincecum takes the mound April 7.

Please Jesus, don't let us be like the Cubs.

The fact that Renteria isn’t very good doesn’t change the fact that Vizquel isn’t done.

I mean, that’s like if, when the Giants released Todd Benzinger, and then J.R. Phillips sucked, you saying, “Man, I miss Todd Benzinger.”

As much as I don’t like Bochy, I think if Ozzie Guillen was our manager, I’d go insane.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, DeWayne Wise was told he’d be the leadoff hitter everyday center fielder over Brian Anderson for the White Sox.

Not that it’s any big secret, but this just reiterates how fond Ozzie Guillen is of Wise and how much he dislikes Anderson. Anderson has been about as productive as Wise this spring, is the better defensive center fielder and is a right-handed hitter, while Wise bats lefty. At the very least, it should be a true platoon, with Anderson starting against lefties. Anyway, it seems pretty unlikely that Wise, who has an astoundingly awful .254 OBP in 468 at-bats as a major leaguer, will last as a regular leadoff hitter. He’s a barely adequate fifth outfielder.

It seems slightly crazy to conclude at this point that Crawford can’t hit in the majors but can pitch in the majors. Looking at his UCLA bio, it looks as though he didn’t pitch until 2008 and then only a few games.

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??

Medders shaved an took a gameday photo with a Giants cap on. He no longer looks like Brandon Webb’s twin.

Instead, he looks like a farmhand from the 50s named Zeke.

Bad time for Perdomo to suck...

…with cuts looming and all.

Anyway, my point is that

Just curious, when would be a good time to suck?

You'd have to ask whoever "she" is.

Adopted Giant: Clayton Tanner (unless someone tells me he's already been adopted)

Alright, in all seriousness, why don’t we want this bat in the lineup again?

by scout6 on Mar 30, 2009 3:27 PM PDT reply actions  

We do.

But they still don’t allow the DH in the National League.

Anyway, my point is that

by EliminateMe on Mar 30, 2009 3:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

Because he can’t really play any position and he’d essentially be skipping AAA.

I once had a theory that there was an inverse relationship between the Giants having a good spring training record and a good regular season record. Not sure how a .500 spring training fits into this.
