they already sent Linden, Justin Leone and Brett Tomko to the minors, but they’re playing in this exhibition game. Tomko went down with his typical whining, saying he outpitched everyone competing for long man in the bullpen.

I don’t hate a lot of players, but Brett Tomko is one of them.

I might put Spezio on that list, but with him it’s more annoyance than hate. Does that guy still play baseball, or is he done?

they have new widgets for pitchers/hitters, showing hot/cold zones, avg velocity, out pitch and things like that
You always have to be one step ahead of your drunk friends
--Daisy Owl
Awesome! Average velocity and movement plots are nice. Also the release point is cool, since it can be used to tell if a pitcher may be fatigued. It’s complicated, but I like it. And the return of the strike zone allows me to get mad about borderline calls again.

RJ is smart...
Smart, veteran move letting that ball go. I see a lot of young pitchers deflecting those types of balls, which just ends up ruining the double play chance.

What qualifies as a sell out??
Miller says opening day is sold out but when I just checked there are still tickets available.
No there are tickets available on the Giants website at regular prices (4 together in the Club Level).

A’s fans are functionally retarded. A big group of them were just standing at the bottom of the Muni escalator. I can’t fathom why they can’t grasp that moving the fuck out of the way so that people can get off the escalator. Then there was the dumbshit A’s fan in front of us at the game who booed every single play where the Giants did something well; hit, walk, or when one of the Giants pitchers struck a batter out.
Luis Perdomo is terrible.
Not garbage: I got a Pablo Sandoval shirt and I managed to snag a foul ball off the bat of Steve Holm. The ball came over to our section and the resulting scrum knocked the ball over to me, so I casually bent over and picked it up. I handed it off to my friend, who bought the seats in the lower box for us, and because she likes Holm.

Backyard Baseball was awesome. I remember there was a tiny round little Mexican kid who wasn’t one of the major leaguers but could rake with the best of them. That’s basically what I want Pablo Sandoval to be. His name may even have been Pablo now that I think about it.
