Postgame fun: Lincecum, Wilson shut out the Phils

Inexplicably, the Giants managed to score a couple runs thanks to the most exciting play in baseball - the sac fly. My pulse throbs just thinking about it. Anyway, this was a good win, but of course, they all are.

Thank God
for your throbbing pulse. There was some concern that no mods would open up a thread for your throbbing minions!
So, who's gonna get a free TEACHER tomorrow?
I’m not going to the game, but a friend who is a Phillies fan (and also good friends with Jimmy Rollins, apparently, as he gave them the tickets) is getting one for me :D
Kevin Pucetas lurks in the shadows, waiting for his time to shine.
I couldn’t resist buying one of those snazzy Pandoval shirts tonight. I like it better than the teacher tomorrow but I’ll probably go becauseI’m hot for teacher, especially free ones.
Now look at me. I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!

Shortly after posting this I went to MLB – TV and made excellent use of my investment by watching Tim dazzle . Who was the closer though? He was unusually efficient , something the guy on the back of his borrowed uni usually isn’t..
Also , Suck it Shane Russell Victorino Martin.

this is my favorite part:
he’s very dumb, he doesnt know how to read or write. so he has the players or one of the coaches write to his wife or sign his bats to send to his wife.
If Uribe was illiterate he would not be a pro baseball player. And how many bats does he send his wife? Does she just have piles of them everywhere?

Personal beliefs
Daulton holds a series of beliefs related to conspiracies, metaphysics, and numerology. He maintains that the universe is created and sustained by numerical synchronicities, and that all matter is charged with vibrational energy, which has escaped human perception because it is extradimensional in origin. He believes that those who are conscious of this energy can manipulate it to affect reality in different ways, such as altering the weather. He also believes that the pyramids and Mayan temples were created by a lost civilization, and that people with knowledge of the workings of the system will “ascend” at the conclusion of the Mayan calendar on Dec. 21, 2012, at 11:11 a.m. (Greenwich Mean Time), vanishing into a new plane of existence. 5 He recently claimed in a televised interview with ESPN that he has “skipped through time” and undergone “astral travel” and will “blast into space.”
Daulton has authored a book on metaphysics and numerology, titled “If They Only Knew,” published in 2007. In the book he discusses numerous aspects of metaphysics, referencing experts in the field, and his personal experiences.

I remember back in 1993, I had a friend who was a Braves fan (likely a total bandwagon jumper – this was in New Jersey). Middle of the season, he said that next year, he was going to be a Giants fan.
Considering how thing went, I doubt he stuck with that.

I remember Lincecum’s debut. I came across THE biggest douchebag ever at a ball park. He was a Phillies fan. Drunk off his ass and acted like a complete ass.
I was at the game last night, and the dude behind us would not stop talking about the philies, but at least the guy was smart, he kept asking why we didn’t leave Valdez in since he seems like the best guy out of the bullpen
I just realized that the only reason I hate the Phillies and their fans, is Shane Victorino. And that’s enough for me

let’s hope he starts getting tired right about now and they start tanking a bunch of games. I’ve been saying it to my (unfortunate) Doyers friend that they’re going to fall apart at the end of the year. Is this the end of the year yet?

My Giants luck seems to be cyclical. From 1999-2003, they were like 18-2 in games I went to. Then, from 2004-2007, they were something like 1-6. 6-2 the last two years.
Of course, that mostly corresponds with good and bad periods in recent Giants history – but more so.

a couple fun facts
-Giants have a league leading 15 shutouts(on pace for about 24), the next closest is 9
-Lincecum is on pace for 298 strikeouts giving him a realistic possibility of reaching 300 K. I believe the last time that was accomplished was in 2002 when both Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling both had over 300 K.
-Lincecum should pass Greinke in WAR after todays performance

Unfortunately
In “HE PITCHES IN THE AL” adjusted WAR, Joba Chamberlain is still better than Tim.

And then it turns out that no. Not really. He was tied for like sixth.

i have no idea how the MVP voters think though
Last year Lincecum finished 1st in the CY Young but had a couple different pitchers finish ahead of him in the MVP voting.
Probably because the team was shitty. If the Giants make the playoffs, I’d be surprised if he wasn’t the highest finishing pitcher.

The ceremony was A+. They had some old timers there, like Dave Stewart and Jesse Barfield. They had a red carpet for Rickey and a golden base at second for him to “steal” They presented him with a crystal figure of Rickey in his famous pose with the base victoriously held over his head, and a special framed jersey with a photo of him. Fireworks, a motorcade with classic cars, and his mom giving him a bouquet and a big hug completed the scene. Rickey’s speech was great. He deferred praise to the fans and said he was so very humbled. But he pulled the old “Rickey is…” third person stuff. We loved it. I love him. Thank you, Rickey, for being one of the greatest.

On MLB network right after the game
They were breaking down the pitch that struck out Howard in the 8th inning. I found it very interesting.
That pitch was called a slider on TV by Kruk and Kuip, it is the familiar changeup we’ve seen from Timmy except it was registered at 86 MPH, which is slightly higher than his “normal” changeup.
Joe Magrane and Mitch Williams broke it down and this was interesting because Joe called that pitch a slider, not a changeup. He mentioned that most great pitchers (even though mechanically speaking it is a no-no) throws across their body as it is the only way to generate enough “break” on the slider or split finger. He goes on and say that Lincecum is able to release the ball from a over the top angle (a la his fastball), yet still generate enough spin on the slider (by throwing it straight down) so instead of breaking sideway, it breaks straight down.
This is interesting because what he’s saying is that Timmy has 3 pitches, all releasing from the same angle (over the top) and all look the same to the hitter. Fastball, Changeup, and Slider. They come at the hitter with 3 different speed and 3 different breaks, all of them top to bottom.
No wonder that change up is so devastating.
I think I remember seeing a graph of Tim’s release points on is pitches by someone on this site. I’m thinking Xanthan and it showed that his curve came out of the same release point as well.

Shrek 1 and 2 were alright, but I didn’t find Shrek 3 to be all that great. They’re making more too.
oh really?
I thought Shrek 1 was pretty funny, especially with the jokes in it for the teens and the parents it was pretty good, but 2 and 3 were OK at best

I just have to ask…did anyone notice the inning where Tim had his jersey buttoned wrong? It looked like it on the scoreboard, but it was so fast I couldn’t tell.

lol more like six years of community college and a semester off while biting my nails all the way down to the bone waiting for acceptance/funding to come through. Putting yourself through school while caring for a sick old grandmother was tough. Not recommended.

Ah, got ya, well at least you got to where you wanted to be, even if it took a while. Yea i got to school, then transferred back home to USF and wasted a semester getting no credits, now back in Ohio, i came back to help care for my Mom who was sick at the time, but yea family has a ton to do with your decisions
Good luck! It doesn’t matter when you do it, just that you do it. And I definitely feel you on putting stuff on hold or part-time when family calls.

I went over the Giants roster today
Matt Cain listed at 245 lbs and is the heaviest guy on the team, tied with Pablo.
That can’t be right.
Well, Cain is like 5 inches taller than Sandoval, I think.
Also, I’m pretty sure Sandoval and Molina’s official weights were taken with only one foot on the scale.

Cain lost a bunch of weight during the offseason. No way he’s 245, and I don’t think he was ever that big to begin with.

Well they had a story in the chronicle about him and how his girlfriend has turned him on to eating more organic food and being more healthy soooo
The only thing I’ve hearing from Phillies fans this week is that we shouldn’t call Pablo “Panda” because we shouldn’t be encouraging his overweight problem.

Also, completely random: the Yahoo! Sports recap article for this game said Travis’ last name is Ishikwara. I think Yahoo! just gave us a new meme.

CF Rowand
SS Renteria
RF Winn
C Whiteside
SP Zito
we NEED garko to do well
if only so that he can replace bengie
I choose to watch the Giants try to score runs. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
am i crazy, or does that look like a reasonably competent lineup?
by sliderinthedirt on Aug 2, 2009 11:24 AM PDT up reply actions
If Rowand was healthy this would be close to ideal (for this team)
My only quibble is that I would switch Renteria and Winn. Also, I’m much more comfortable with Uribe’s defense at SS right now.

Winn is the worst hitter in the majors against lefties. I would rather see Uribe in for Renteria and Fred in for Randy.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
Winn’s the worst hitter against lefties in about 100 ABs this year. That defies his entire career track record to this point. While it’s possible that he’s fallen off a cliff from the right side and will never recover, Fred has never really shown himself to be all that great against lefties either. Couple that with Winn’s better defense, and I have no problem with Winn playing and batting 7th today.

I am aware of the SSS implications. I don’t have a big problem with Randy playing, but he shouldn’t be batting any higher than seventh and I would like to see someone else get some ABs against lefties this year. Randy’s recent ABs from the right side have been horrific and do not inspire confidence that he will be turning it around soon.

I wish we had Urine at 3rd, and Panda at C, but that’s probably too much to ask for.
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
Winn against a leftie is a huge fail incoming but I think we are out of options.
No one here gets out alive.
I'd rather see Fred
At least he brings OBP.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
This.

So the red sox
fired two security guards last summer after an investigation of steroid usage, so MLB confiscated the steroids that were found by police and this all happened last year just before the all star break… http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AutJ1AmIi90.gRqL1ZDvyPc5nYcB?slug=ap-redsoxsteroids&prov=ap&type=lgns
Doesn't look like anyone has posted this yet
The Giants indeed optioned starter Ryan Sadowski and first baseman Jesus Guzman to Triple-A Fresno to clear room for right-handed reliever Waldis Joaquin, who was promoted from Double-A Connecticut, and Freddy Sanchez, who formally joined the team.
The Giants have been blowing through their bullpen during this stretch of 20 games without a day off, which ends Wednesday, and felt they needed another reliever. Joaquin impressed the brass in spring training and was throwing well for the Defenders. The Giants will use their seventh starter of the season in Houston on Wednesday. It will NOT be Madison Bumgarner, Bochy said. Joe Martinez and Kevin Pucetas are options.
The era of Sadowski appears to be over, alas.
Who seems most likely to come up? Has Pucetas been pitching well?
