Also, sometime soon, the Giants will trade an OFer to the Braves for an IFer. It has to happen, right?

There’s a reason there isn’t much name-calling and shouting on this blog; it’s because people tend to take the time to think about what they’re saying and they decide not to willfully antagonize others.

The same
It’s still populated today, largely by the descendants of the mutineers and some Tahitian women they kidnapped as “wives.” Its current population is about 50.
It’s always held a romantic allure for the history and for being so ridiculously remote (it takes a week to get there from Australia – there’s no airstrip, it’s too far off shore for helicopters, and there isn’t even a port). A lot of that romance was destroyed around 2002, however, when it came out that most of the adult men on the island had been molesting young girls for decades. A controversial trial ensued.
It’s a subject I’ve long been obsessed with, and I’m reading a book about the trials right now, hence my recent mentions of the place.

Fangraphs is awesome
He’s chased 45% of the pitches outside the strike zone this year. That would lead the league if it weren’t for Molina and his 49.2% ( which basically means Molina is one bad week away from having swung at more balls than he’s taken). Except for those two, no other player has even reached 40%. He’s definitely improved since last year, but the increase in walks is also because pitchers just stopped throwing him strikes. His Zone% is 38.1% – the lowest in the majors by a 5% margin (Pujols is second).

Somebody asked about Timmy’s scoreless streak. Giambi hit a home run in the 2nd inning three starts ago. He went 9 that game, 9 his last start, and 7 today. So I guess that is 7+9+7 = 23.

Giambi led off the 2nd with the HR, and Lincecum then got three consecutive outs. That should count as an inning!

Unless there’s a deal in the works. That’s what I’m wondering, maybe Merkin’s part of a trade. Say to Pittsburgh, with Pucetas and a lower minor leaguer for Sanchez. Or maybe Sanchez for Sanchez. But there’s no way a 13 man staff and no backup in the infield makes a lick of sense

If Pablo sits tomorrow, they’re going to have to make a roster move. M-boy (Miller, Medders, Merkin) down, Frandsen up. They already don’t have a back-up middle infielder – farkin’ Aurilia – and they can’t play a game without a single back-up infielder (sorry, Nate and Randy don’t count).

Pablo Sandoval slid across the plate like he was trying to pick up a 7-10 split. Instead, all he did was tear most of the skin off his right knee. He was tagged out trying to score in the fifth inning and was taken out in the sixth.

He had NO chance at all of scoring, so why send him. And our 2nd run (I can’t recall whom— Winn?) was totally out, but the umpire kindly called him safe. One of the bonus factors when Bochy leaves is that Flannery goes, too. Dumb ass.

It was a legitimate passed ball. Pablo was running before the pitch so they gave him the SB, but the pitch was high and the catcher missed the ball, so Winn took home.

As Superk1ng described, except that Winn never touched the plate, and the umpire gave us a gift.
He was totally blocked from the plate. The replays were 100% conclusive. Before I saw the replays, it didn’t look to me like he ever touched the plate. But either way, waaaaaay to close to be sending Winn on the PB.

And I respect that you appreciated how hung Flannery was as a big leaguer. But that dude is a terrible analyst of his own players’ speeds, the abilities of the opposing defense, the location of the ball, and what is likely to happen 3-7 seconds later. Either that or he is a really bad gambler.

This can’t be.

Dang it, I was thinking he was an infielder. There should be a no sibling rule.

Went to game-- Stubhub Upgrade for the Mayor and the Heir!`
My son and I were picked for the Stubhub upgrade, moving us from Box 311 into the cushy recliners in the Club Level. I love my seats in 311, but it was nice to have the luxury seats for one game.
Great game and a great day. We had two runners totally thrown out at home (except that one was called safe for reasons I don’t understand). Rich should still retire or be retired. And Tim Lincecum is just a phenomenon and it is a pure joy to get to watch him play for the Giants.

Completely randomly; a very nice ambush
We walked through our tunnel and standing near our section were 3 lovely young women in those orange jerseys— the cheer squad that tosses out t-shirts and pizzas and stuff during the game. They saw the Heir and me, we said a hi, and they asked if we would like an upgrade of our seats. That was literally it. It was that random and out of the blue.

Early parade, an afternoon game, and evening festivities. Timmy always a joy to watch and enjoyed the rousing applause as Ortiz left the game, a sarcastic thank you if you will.

The radio was on in car this morning and ESPN led into the baseball scores by saying:
The San Francisco Giants posted their league leading 11th shut out yesterday…
I didn’t hear the rest…
“League leading” ? wow

Our staff is pitching a shut-out approximately every 7.5 games. That is alright.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before
but doesn’t Tim Lincecum look like the lovechild of Yoko Ono and a re-animated John Lennon?
Great pitcher.

Ryan Howard has a lot more DINGERZ than Sandoval, but Sandoval’s having a better year in almost every other category. Higher AVG, higher OBP, higher SLG, even. Strikes out less than half as often as Howard. :(

Gallardo also gets snubbed
Hell, he’s not even included in the final vote.
He’s one of the top 3 pitchers in the NL easy. And he pitches in a band box.

Nevermind
It’s Sandoval, Cristian Guzman, Matt Kemp, Shane Pricktorino, and Mark Reynolds.

Sandoval: .337 / .377 / .540 / 12 HR / 43 K in 307 PA
Kemp: .303 / .367 / .375 / 10 HR / 74 K in 330 PA
Guzman: .316 / .331 / .428 / 3 HR / 41 K in 296 PA
Victorino: .304 / .367 / .453 / 5 HR / 39 K in 316 PA
Reynolds: .269 / .355 / .562 / 23 HR / 109 K in 338 PA
Sandoval definitely seems like the best overall in my biased perspective. If Guzman wins, I will want to die.

Pitchers are never included in the final vote, but apparently they add one more pitcher to the roster at the end. Or maybe they’ve already added them, IDK
