From the last thread: 4 runs, 4 hits vs 1 run, 4 hits

I wonder what the difference is. Why can’t someone on this team take a fucking walk ever? Is it because of idiots like Shawn Dunston and Carney? We are dead fucking last in walks, by a large %. At some point, hold someone goddamn accountable for this shit.

At least he didn’t do it to end the inning…the thing he does where he’s almost taking off his batting gloves and helmet in the same motion as striking out is infuriating.

It’s an organizational philosophy that needs to be eliminated. Every single hitter on the Dodgers takes as many pitches as possible, while every hitter on our team hacks.

The stuff that pissed me off:

As Giants infield coach Shawon Dunston, a notorious free swinger in his playing days, puts it, “You want to see a walk? Then go watch the mailman.”
In the Giants’ clubhouse, meanwhile, the debate rages over walks versus hits, on-base percentage versus batting average. Lansford wants his hitters to be selective, to wear out pitchers. Dunston wants them aggressive.

Hi, Everyone.

Had kid duties and stuff, so am late to the horrible party. I know it’s late to say it, but FLewis is an idiot for getting thrown out at 2nd in the 1st or 2d inning (I don’t recall which). I said it at the time he was thrown out, not one pitch later when TI hit a home run.

Also: After Bill Hohn’s first bad call, I said he could blow me. After his 2nd, that privilege is officially withdrawn.

I read this as “Folgers Renteria” and didn’t know WTF was going on. Other than Renteria can hook us up with better coffee than Folgers.

Wait. Molina is coming up?

Screw it, I gotta go pack – probably a better usage of my time. This team is a fucking pain to watch offensively.

Does anyone actually think we’ll come back from a 3-run deficit, or are we all just watching to see whether or not there’s Epic Fail to go with the loss?
