Well, context shows he meant it plays in their favor against pitchers who throw strikes. Of course, from experience, we know that’s not always true (see: Greg Maddux.)

Greg Maddux was probably smart enough to just not throw strikes against the Giants.

Doesn’t he have damn good career numbers vs. the Giants?

Like Barry vs the Padres!

Against everybody?

Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

yeah, i know it made sense in context (which is why the link was important), but out of context, I thought it was a funny and apropos quote.

Front office immediately starts prepping “player/hitting instructor” contract extension for Bengie.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

Hopefully the younger Giants follow the adage that you’re only as smart as your batting average. Sadly, I doubt it.

"he walked 18; new league record! Struck out 18, another new league record! He also hit the sportswriter, the PA announcer, the bull mascot twice..."

“I think the Dodgers obviously have taken command of first place in the first half, but as many games as we still play them in the second half, anything is possible.”

Absofuckinglutely.

Nothing matters , and what if it did?

And appropriately, after Bengie states the obvious Cardinal pitchers decide to start throwing us pitches out of the strike zone. After 17 innings (thus far) in the last 2 days we’ve racked up 11 hits and one run. Hooray Free swingers!
