Okay, wtf happened there?
I’m not at a TV
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
runner on 1st and 2nd, base hit, they send runner, winn throws home
“collision”, and molina holds ball
If my head is full of white hairs by the end of this season.. I blame Brian Wilson. (I'm only 22, dammit!)
LOL the ball got to molina
and i was like… oh they didn’t send the runner… oh wtf? there he is.LOL
If my head is full of white hairs by the end of this season.. I blame Brian Wilson. (I'm only 22, dammit!)

I was dancing a jig when I read that Posey had a 45:45 K:BB ratio in the California League. I think that’s proof that he’s not going to get really good. That’s proof that he is really good, and has room to get even better.

I’VE FALLEN AND I CAN’T GET UP!!!
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.
See, my head says you're right on this,
But my heart says your team is starting Bengie Molina and batting him cleanup. It’s just too much conflict, I can’t figure it out.
Your “heart” shouldn’t do prospect evaluation. You are not providing anyone who reads you value.
by Lars The Wanderer on Jul 17, 2009 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions
Bengie Molina batting cleanup only says that management is staffed by a bunch of drunks and boneheads, or possibly drunk boneheads.
I fail to see how this travesty correlates to Posey’s development as a complete hitter, except maybe for the tangential aspect of Posey and Molina being catchers.
And my heart loves Bengie. He’s killing the team currently, but I can’t help but love the guy. If he took a hike after this season, I would miss him but not in a baseball way. That’s how you use your heart effectively.

Arriving here (very) late
So, let me see if I’ve got this:

2) Travis Ishikawa is available….yet Rich Aurilia is still hitting. Against a righty, even.
3) Aurilia didn’t get pinch hit for….but Andres Torres did.

I didn’t get to see the All-Star Game, but I did notice that the Phillies seventeen hitters went a combined 1-8 (or 1-9? I can’t remember) with like 3 strike outs. Fuck you, Manuel.

When I watch ABs like that, I find it hard to believe what Bonds could do in his prime. I know those breaking balls in the dirt are hard to read, and Bowker is one of the thousand or so best hitters in the world, and he didn’t have a chance. Bonds would spit on those every day for twenty years. I find it amazing.

its a pain to go through 4 threads to get to it.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

If Freddie Sanchez was smart, he’d realize he will be a Giant soon and thus really shouldn’t beat us here.
