- The walk-two-hitters-in-front-of-Prince-Fielder gag, which is even funnier when it's done with a four-run lead.
- The get-runners-in-scoring-position-with-less-than-two-outs-and-then-flail gag
- The actually-hit-a-reliever-hard-only-to-have-Mike-Cameron-make-a-freaky-good-play gag
- The great-stuff-spotty-location-weird-strike-zone-closer-allowing-several-hundred-baserunners gag
- The game-ending-double-play-turns-into-an-eventual-loss
Lovely game. How about we chat about this one for a while?

The 3-run home run changed everything.
There are few situations where it doesn’t.

This one sucks. So many things had to go right for the Brewers to win (the Cameron catch, the blown double play, the freaky strike zone for Wilson, the ball that was so close to being Pablo’s 3rd home run), but they all did. Yuck.

Brewers going for the sweeping on Sunday
Chris Dominguez: Bringing dingerz back to The Bay (In a while)
MLB never puts up the clip I want to see.
Okay, that’s not true. I missed the Pablo home runs and getting to watch him ride first a high fastball and then a slider at his feet over the Right center fence was amazing. But I want to see the Uribe/bounce/DP/“single” in the ninth, and instead there is only Fielder’s walk-off.

Uribe gets to a 3-1 almost every at bat it seems. He then proceeds to take the most massive cut possible, but never does anything good. I would like to kick him square in the nuts.

yeah. Krup and Kuip joke about it, but it’s not funny at all. Stupid ballplayer and a stupid manager that doesn’t talk to him about it.

I can't take many more like this..
Must exit country.
It occurs to me that while Bruce Bochy is a defensive-replacement-ophile to nearly the same extent that he’s a matchups/veterans/bunts/anythingbutLewis-ophile, it didn’t even cross his mind that Uribe might not be the best defensive choice at second base.
Small quibble, but I couldn’t help thinking about it.

I can’t think of one logical reason not to walk Fielder. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, first base empty, two outs. Fielder is a much better hitter than McGehee One run ends the ballgame. Fielder is a much better hitter than McGehee. Fielder is LH, McGehee is RH. McGehee has already hit a HR, but so has Fielder. Fielder is a much better hitter than McGehee.
We’ve issued 22 IBB this year. I’m sure most of them were mistakes. This was pretty much the only scenario in which an IBB makes sense.

what’s good about this is that (sorta, anyway) we get to see what the market is for a guy like this. a young hard throwing reliever and a PTBNL seems like an equitable deal. Of course, is the PTBNL turns out to be Brett Wallace (which I doubt) then it could turn out to be much better this deal doesn’t say much about the market, but I suspect that Perez is the main acquisition for the Indians.

Gammons brought this up, and I have been thinking about this last week
Mark Teahan. Under team control until 2011. Can play 2nd, 3rd, and LF.
Seems like the kind of guy the Giants would be interested in, and may be a match for, say, Jonathan Sanchez + change. Thoughts?
nope
especially not + change. I really hope we don’t trade Sanchez at all at this point. It doesn’t make any sense to sell this low. Oh, and I don’t want Teahen, and he’s a lefty bat, and Sabes is homing in on all that righty bat talent out there.
I like Teahan, but he hits left handed and his power (what he has of it) would be sapped at our place. Anything more than Sanchez would be too much (unless its some organizational guy). Not sure about his defense, but he was moved off of third for Alex Gordon and not for his defense as far as I know. He can play 1st also.

So tonight was kind of a crappy night
We got some free A’s tickets so my family dragged me along to this A’s game tonight. That makes 2 A’s games this year and 0 Giants games for me. This is not acceptable.
Anyway, it was nice spending time with my family and it was somewhat amusing to watch the Rockies parade around the bases (though it was also annoying to see Cahill get lit up after what he did to the Giants).
On the other hand, these two guys nearly got into a fight two rows behind us. One was a self-proclaimed Giant fan (at an A’s game, wearing an A’s cap). The guy three seats over says “I hate the Giants. I can’t stand them.” The first guy says “Your team sucks.” The other guy says “Your teams sucks.” This devolves into threats and lots of profanity (with a bunch of children around). It went on for like two innings before some lady finally switched seats with one of them to separate them.
Also, the wave got going strong in the sixth inning. In defense of the Coliseum crowd, it was 11-2 at the time. Still. But what was kind of shocking was, on the fourth or fifth pass, a Coliseum usher comes up, blows his wistle and raises his hands to urge everyone to get up and do the wave. I had never seen an actual ballpark employee encourage the wave before.
Anyway, I’m just glad that the Giants didn’t play tonight. Their game probably would have been crappy too.

When I gave the first score, someone said the division race is over. I pretty much said what you said, it’s the Dodgers.
Doesn't really need to be said but I figure why not...

Giants not playing for this year
After seeing that some clown named Sadowski is pitching tomorrow against the Brewers.
Lincecum should be pitching tomorrows game. Its great that they are skipping Sanchez’ spot, but the logical choice is Lincecum. And if they were going to bring someone up from the farm, it should have been Bumgarner. theyve known for 10 days about this Sanchez issue.
I cant believe I paid money to go see the game tomorrow and am sad that my nephews first live Giants game is going to be remembered for loud drunken bandwagon Brewer fans cheering a lot.
Bochy has to go at years end, Sabean is doing a nice job rebuilding the farm system, but…man. That game tonight and then seeing what they have planned for tomorrow, I can see now why my wife both hates and loves this team.
And if they were going to bring someone up from the farm, it should have been Bumgarner. theyve known for 10 days about this Sanchez issue.
Ummm, no. I want you to think about why and report back.
Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at second.
Oh, I know about the rest
He just pitched on the 25th and it would not be long enough rest for one, but he is ready. If you dont think he is ready, then I think you are wrong.
He may not be dominant yet, but he is ready.
I’d rather the mess with Sadowhateverski’s developmental track than MadBum’s.

Oh Yes.
Enough Sanchez-itis fora while. This team is not in dire enough straits or good enough condition to more Jimmy Jacking arround like that.
Yes, This is still a 79 win squad.
Where is my beer & chili dog?
No, that is not why. Beyond being ready, which he’s likely not, it doesn’t make any sense from service time perspective.
Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at second.
Not too worried about the service time issue to be honest. If he is going to be effective, then bring him up. The Giants can afford the price for the extra 3 months service time.
My first point holds true though, that Timmy should be starting tomorrow
I never commented on Timmy, I agree. But Bumgarner hasn’t been that amazing at AA, he’s been good, but he’s unfinished. Bringing him up would probably be counterproductive.

The fact that his K-rate has dropped pretty significantly (not horribly but down to the mid-7s from over 9 last year) seems like it could be an indication that his secondary stuff is still a work in progress.

I would love to see him called up, but against Milwaukee in this homer haven is probably a bad place to start. I don’t get this Sadowski thing though. It almost looks like they’re conceding the game, and if you’re doing that, you might as well send Sanchez out there again. As for Madbum’s service time issue, if the Giants’ think he’s ready, it’s irrelevant. If they were calling him up for just one start, it’s more of a factor.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!
Is it possible that the Giants want to offer Saddy as part of a trade package, so they want to see what he can do in the bigs? Somewhere I read that it’s a safe move to bring him up cuz if he does poorly, he’ll easily clear waivers to go back down, if he does well he can be traded…or get as a #5 -Sanchez stays in the pen, and we say buh-bye to Howry.
I’m a Giants fan, my hobbies are baseball and speculation.
I’m just glad the Giant didn’t trade Pablo Sanchez for DeRosa.

This would have never have happened if we would have just traded Fielder for Cain when we were supposed to.

I was able to catch the bottom of the 9th
It ruined the rest of my night. Thanks, Brian.

Random Stuff
Went to the Reno Aces v. Tacoma Rainiers game last night. Jeff Clement looked really good (2-4, 2B, HR)…as a DH. If we didn’t already have a C of the future, I wouldn’t mind buying low on him. Granted he could provide 1B depth as well, but I don’t see a fit where we could justify trading for him, especially given that it has been said he’s horrible defensively. Agree/Disagree?
Brand new adoptive daddy for the Big Unit. Congrats go out to my son for his 300th win. Only 211 more wins until he catches Cy Young!
I watched him catch their knuckle baller last year and he don’t look that bad. Lord knows a knuckle baller can make alot any catchers look bad. It has been a bit since I looked at the Tacoma Box scores. Have they started moving Clement behind the dish at all? I am beginning to get the feeling he is the M’s dog house.
Yes, This is still a 79 win squad.

I remember he started the year batting like .171 or something. Looking at his monthly splits, average and OBPwise, he’s been wretched in june, but has been consistent with HR power. 65 ABs at C, 195 at DH, a handful at 1B. He’s listed as a DH on tacoma’s website.

also, if the M’s are down on him, he might be had for a lesser prospect, if a team wanted him
