I don’t know if this has been shared yet, but this seems like an opportune time to post a quote from Bengie that was in the Merc the other day:
I go out there to swing. I don’t let the umpire touch my at-bat.
I’m pretty sure the Ump won’t call a pitch 3 feet outside and 2 inches off the ground a strike. call me crazy, but that’s my view.

So somebody on another forum just asked
Can Nate Shierholtz (sic) bring home the ROY this year? I see him being this year’s jacoby elsbury great second half
I replied with :
No chance.
After 4 unsuccessful campaigns, this is finally the year that Edinson Volquez take home the rookie of the year award. His finished fourth in 2008, the highest finish in his career, including 3 second place votes.
Volquez has been sidelined by an injury this season, but in 9 starts, the big right hander is 4-2 with an impressive 8.52 K/9 and a 4.35 ERA.
Am I a bad person?
until he retires.

Ryan Braun
Looks breaking ball. Fastball outside and in on hands. DONT THROW BREAKING BALLS MIDDLE IN.

somewhat-tentional walk?

I always found this phrase backward. Instead, it should be intentional unintentional walk, yeah?

WELL THATS OKAY I DUN MIND CUZ IT GETS MY FANTASY TEAM TEH POINTZ!!!!!!!!
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that pie > cake, that Bochy is endowed by his creator with certain undeniable traits, that among these are veteran man-love, a gigantic skull, and the pursuit of the double switch.
Adopted Giant: Fred Lewis, who can still draw a walk.
If someone said that to me at a real game, I'd be tempted to slap them...
but then I’d remember even though I’m taller than average, I am a total wimp. Then I’d mutter under my breath.

ZITO FOR FIELDER
GET IT DONE.

I THOUGHT ZITO FOR A JUSTIN MOURNEAU TYPE HITTER WOULD BE GOOD BUT THIS SOUNDS EVEN BETTER!!!!!

They both...
accounted for three runs there! Fair trade!

Wonder if Bochy would have gone to the bullpen earlier if Sadowski wasn’t going tomorrow.

Well, I hung around too long (and so did Zito)
Gotta go get some food. I hope the Giants do better while I’m gone.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, Lisa Stevens from Wells Fargo Bank.
Question
Does anyone think that when Righetti came out to the mound after the hardy ground-out, he was telling Zito to pitch around Braun because he had a LH hitter (Fielder) on deck?
I do.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher??
He seemed to be getting tired.

He was throwing strikes just fine for most of the game. Then he just… stopped.

So, uh, in two batters I’ve watched, it’s gone from 4-0 to 4-4. Please don’t kill me.

I do have to give Fielder some credit, though
He’s one of the best four-strike hitters I’ve ever seen. Most guys shorten up in a four strike situation.

No Krukow.. the most important thing Prince did wasn’t getting the crowd into it, it was the 3 run homer

I don’t think he said it was the most important thing

Dude, it’s the sixth inning. Like, duh.

to be fair, this wasn't really a high leverage situation

it's a 1 run game
Romo/Affeldt could go the one out in the 6th and the entire 7th. You give it to the next guy for the 8th.
Also, Medders/Miller should not be anywhere near a 1 run game.
It is when people hit home runs there.

Yeah, when’s he going to get picked up by Fox already?
