Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Post-Game Recap: Giants Take First Game From Phillies

Wait, am I supposed to hate the Phillies now? How in the heck am I supposed to hate a team with Scott Eyre, Pedro Feliz, and Jimmy Rollins? Heck, I even have a soft spot for Tyler Walker...and that soft spot is certainly reciprocated.

Star-divide

Well, yeah, there's always that. But Chase Utley a) was right to give a chatter-free stankeye after he ducks under a fastball, and b) should be commended for not running the bases with his fist in the air, staring at Sanchez while singing "Final Countdown" at the top of his lungs. I know I would have, but I'm a small, petty man.

No, I don't hate the Phillies. I just think that Charlie Manuel is a complete buffoon for not figuring out a way to get Pablo Sandoval on the All-Star roster, and I'm pretty giddy that Sandoval whomped on Manuel's team. Brushback pitches, errant fastballs, blah blah blah. Don't care. But did you see that home run? It's rare that I give the finger to my TV, but danged if that didn't qualify. Suck it, Phillies manager. I only wish that CSN cut to a shot of Manuel as he doddered around, grumbling.

Fuck Utley and his stank eye. I don’t agree. Couldn’t he tell by the rest of his pitches that inning that Sanchez was wild? Didn’t he read the scouting report before the game that says that Sanchez is wild? And why are they hitting Garko in retaliation? He’s the one guy that didn’t kick their ass last night!

Yeah, I generally am fine with the Phillies

Primarily because I have a soft-spot for Pedro; he’s a good guy, even though I have nightmares of him swinging at sliders in the dirt.

Exactly. Velez can do lots of things. He can look sort of comically bad at times, but he can play 6 positions, none of them well, but still. He can run, and suddenly he’s hitting a little. Plus, he introduces a pleasing randomness to the proceedings.

by Giantsfan4life on Jul 30, 2009 10:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

Six?

He can play all three OF spots, plus second. If you’re suggesting he could play 3rd and shortstop as well, I’d have to say he’s behind Randy Winn (and probably Schierholtz too) on the 3B depth chart.

Heck, I’m sure he can catch, too…just like Pedro Feliz. Seven positions!

I wonder what the offer was.
The Red Sox and Indians discussed a three-way deal Thursday night that would send Victor Martinez to Boston and Clay Buchholz to Cleveland, according to ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark. The deal would include a third team and send prospects in all directions.
The Red Sox and Indians contacted other teams to find a match. The Red Sox would want to trade recently-acquired Adam LaRoche to the third team, according to one of Stark’s sources. LaRoche wouldn’t fit on the Red Sox anymore if they add Martinez and there don’t appear to be many suitors for him, especially now that the Giants added Ryan Garko. We know a team other than the Giants made the Pirates an offer for LaRoche earlier in the month.

by superk1ng on Jul 30, 2009 11:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

Before the Pirates dealt Adam LaRoche to Boston, a second team made them an offer, according to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. An unknown club proposed a deal that would have sent a major leaguer and a borderline prospect to Pittsburgh for LaRoche. The Pirates would have had to take on the major leaguer’s salary in the deal, which wasn’t proposed by the Giants.

by lincecumania on Jul 30, 2009 11:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

The only rumor I heard involving the Giants’ and LaRoche was that the Pirates wanted us to take his contract along with Freddie Sanchez, and Sabean told them he only wanted a right hand hitting first baseman. If that constitutes an offer, I guess they made one.

I just got back to Oak-town after the game. And I don’t know if this came across on TV/KNBR, but was this not one of the best games of the year? Pablo’s walk-off win was amazing and we went crazy went he hit it out. But there was a really exciting energy in the park after the bottom of the first. Did it read to y’all?

Negatory. Just the overall vibe. I deal in vague, generalities. I just think that tonight there was a sort of buzz that wasn’t there. And that’s partly due to all of the Phillies fans and the Sanchez trade etc. But I think it led to some of the mock drama Grant mentioned in the post.

yeah, hitting Garko made no sense. Why hit the only guy who’s not destroying you? I think if the Phillies thought that Sanchez had intent when he threw over Utley’s head, that thought changed with the rest of the pitches he threw that inning. It was obvious that he had lost his release point.

no he didnt say they did them

he said they told the surveyors to put them as Positive, just so the number would be high enough that real tests would be run

Manuel joined the fan club after this game though. He said it was the first time he’s seen him, he’s a great hitter, and he really liked watching him play. Too bad Manuel didn’t put any research into his all star selections when he had the chance. Talk about your east coast bias!

I think they are obligated to hate on every team. And since Peter actually likes the Giants despite hating everyone else, Karabell’s gotta jump in to make up for the lack of the usual negativity

For those not in the Bay Area

and you have MLB Extra Innings, you’ll have to watch the Phillies broadcasters on Friday. That would have been fine when Harry Kalas was alive but the current guys are below average.

Oh, absolutely. Historically, syphilis is right up there with Germans. It wiped out the Romanovs, it decimated our fleet at Pearl Harbor, and of course, Fidel Castro impersonated Marilyn Monroe and gave President Kennedy a case of syphilis so severe that eventually it blew the back of his head off.

the heckling of Utley began in the warm-ups for the 4th….when Utley airmailed a warmup to Feliz that ended up in the dugout……Then when he mishandled the throw from Feliz we were really going off…..(why did Feliz get the E?)…..And then the bullshit at home got more jeers and then his next E has us going again…..Phillies fans nearby tried to get an EAGLES???? chant going, but they were out matched by volume and coordination of our heckles……good stuff……BTW, did I mention we were 1st row infield…..I am guessing he heard us…….

I love how Utley booted a grounder a couple innings after his HR.

I think Sanchez showed some character out there last night. He was fun to watch despite being a bit erratic. The whole Utley thing, then Utley steps out mid motion, then HRs was a glimpse of the past…I hope. Maybe not as the next batter hit a 400 ft flyout (first pitch)… We’ll see.

Anyways, Good game Jonathan
