Greatest comment of all time candidate?
Good to finally see a Giant getting good pub…Our staff is sweet! And the team is really picking it up. Time to look to trade a young pitcher for a bat…can we get BRAUN from MILWAUKEEE? Throw in some Rueter jersey royalties….Sanchez and our new #1? Freddy Lew Lew aka K-FRED is not only striking his way out of the league but fielding his way out as well.

HEY GAIS LETS GET ADAM JONES EH EH?
CBizzle25 says
Great lineup? 1 hit by Rowand through five innings. Thats all you can expect from a lineup full of backups and a struggling Lewis. Giants need to desperately call Bowker up to fill the left field void. Have Schierholtz stay as the 4th outfielder and pinch hit role and Torres can fill in at LF verse a tough lefty. Thats option #1. OR the Giants can package P J. Sanchez and OF Lewis to the Baltimore Orioles, who are in desperate need of starting pitching for OF Adam Jones who is young at 23, is hitting .340 and has a lot of upside and brings more to the table than Lewis at 28. Jones would fill in perfectly at LF and can bat 6th for us.
Comments on Baggs cracks me up
LOL
why would you trade for Jones and play him in LEFT field?

I’m torn on this. If Frandsen would hit the fucking ball, then maybe he could get mad. But he doesn’t.

Oh, I’m not saying that was the best choice, either. But produce if you wanna throw a tantrum about not hitting.

He could probably outhit half the lineup right now.

Funny thing about Lansford: he was actually a pretty solid OBP guy.

Yeah, its Lansford’s fault that a 10+ year veteran won’t change his ways.

No, but the young guys he's had over the last two years do not show any detectable approach to an at-bat.

I also gotta wonder why guys who seem to hold their own in AAA can’t seem to make half-way decent contact with the big boys. The approach seems to just go to hell once they’re promoted.

The Giants want everyone to be a slop-hacker, it seems.

Your Honor, I offer Exhibit Travis Ishikawa.
Exactly. And a good batting coach SHOULD be able to work with someone like TI to get his head back on right. He was fine in spring training, showing patience at plate, then comes up here and gets all slop-hacky.
THEN come to find out that the reported theme of the coaching this season is to have a selective target for your first pitch, and if it is in your target, go ahead and swing. Well, great, but with these guys, that target is not nearly restrictive enough. Not f’ing nearly. So they take that advice NOT as a restriction, but as permission. This would have been apparent in the 3rd week of the season, but apparently hasn’t been modified. Cot damn.

I sort of wonder if some of Lewis’s struggles lately are connected to management’s publicly stated desire to fuck with his approach and make him into an aggressive power hitter, too.

Maybe. Not comparing them, but that's what took John Olerud from an A+ to a B hitter.

I almost hope they fall into another major skid. I don’t have any faith in this team’s ability to contend this year, and I don’t want them throwing away good prospects on Nick Johnson or Hank Blalock or whomever.

All the bay area sports writers ask:
Is it too early to look at a wild card spot?!?!?!?!
well, is it?
Now look at me. I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!
We went 6-4 on the road trip. This was a good trip. We could have done better, yes, we could have also done worse.

I don't get the Sanchez hate on this thread today. He's the FIFTH starter, and gave up ONE run in almost 6 damn innings!
Yes, lots of walks, blah blah blah. They were scattered enough that he gave up ONE RUN IN ALMOST SIX INNINGS. A few Dbacks hit some good pitches— that makes him terrible? I’m not nominating Dirty for the CY just yet, but for crying out loud, our 5th pitcher held another team to one run for almost 6 innings. That is fine.

he got waaaay lucky to only give up one run
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
Some luck, yes, and it's true he was facing a bad team that beats itself a lot.
Still, he was doing ok for a 5th starter. I don’t want him to pitch like this every game (or any game), but he wasn’t capital-T Terrible.

I didn’t really see a lot of Sanchez hate. Just hate for walks.

Anyone notice Wotus in the dugout talking to Frandsen and Frandsen shaking his head? I wonder if he was voicing displeasure at being pinch-hit for.
Controversy!

Probably, yes. As I said above, he should probably learn to hit in the bigs before he throws a tantrum about not being at the plate in a clutch situation.
