Isn’t it never bring in a guy to intentionally walk a guy?

Actually...
I’m reading “Willie’s Time” (best book about the Giants ever) and apparently Alvin Dark was a fan of doing this. The reason being that every pitcher is required to face a batter, so the guy you bring in to give up the IBB can be replaced if the next batter is a pinch hitter. So in this situation, Medders could have been lifted once Duncan was announced, and a lefty could have been brought in.
Willie’s Time is FANTASTIC. The problem with that strategy, though, is that Affeldt is the only LHP in the pen and we have no real LOOGY.

I realize that Sanchez has real trouble throwing strikes, but from the pen in short outings, he’ll have the electric wild stuff but throw even faster. Maybe that will induce more swings on balls out of the zone. I’m just wishcasting, really.

I think he was pretty much the same velo from the pen as starting though.

Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Here’s a THT article on it from a couple of years ago.
http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/is-larussa-right-to-bat-his-pitcher-in-the-eight-slot/
It allows three actual hitters to hit before the third batter, Pujols, except in the first inning, but it does ensure that Pujols gets up in the first inning. If Pujols hits fourth, then he is going to lead off more in the second inning, and he conceivably gets fewer PA throughout the season if he hits 4th and not 3rd.

What I don’t get is why you’re so eager to call up Bowker to replace him. Scheirholtz has consistently hit better than him, both in the minors and in their short time in the majors, and he’s most likely the better defender too.

Bowker has actual game-changing power, and now has become an OBP monster. Schierholtz just seems to hit so many clunkers and seemingly fails to square anything up. I’m thinking that his contact rate has taken advantage of minor-league defense. Plus, I just hate the look on Schierholtz’s face.

but seriously, looking at the pitching matchups, and the fact that Ankiel and Ludwick were both reactivated, I was just rooting against a sweep.

The Giants often seem to hit better against guys like Carpenter and Santana than against the Brandn Backes of the world for some reason.
