Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Post-Game Recap: Giants Are Most Assuredly Out of This Thing

Matt Cain's had bad outings this year, but this is the first time he's combined a) more than three earned runs with b) fewer than six innings pitched. On the few occasions he's been lit up, he's at least saved the bullpen from being overworked. It's been an amazing season for Cain. One absolute stinker is to be expected. If you're thinking it came at the wrong time, pshaw. This season's over.

Don't worry, though. There's still plenty of time to see if Eli Whiteside is the catcher of the future. Because when your team is down five runs, it makes sense to put in a catcher with a minor league career line of .244/.288/.393. That's the minors, mind you. That's a .288 career on-base percentage in the minors. But he KNOWS THE STAFF, and he's PAID HIS DUES, and THIS IS THE TEAM THAT GOT US HERE, so why would they put in a catcher who DOESN'T USE A WET FRUIT ROLL-UP AS A BASEBALL BAT when the team's down big? That's just nonsense. Savvy managing, that.

Done.

i really feel like it should be a required skill for ALL McCoven to be able to detect sarcasm, even when in print. It would really make humor rise to the top. Though I suspect such sarcastic individuals (who are being quite funny) would then lose some comedic value from the challenged.

Bip Roberts

I am amused that he was talking about being 5 games back with 11 to go, and he offered this paraphrased gem up: “I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of baseball.”

In a related note, he works for a Giants network. I’m sure nobody there has whispered in his ear anything about 1998.

P.S. Bip Roberts is tied for the all-time Padres club lead with 3 walk-off home runs. With? Bruce Bochy and Scott Hairston

Murph makes up awful nicknames for players and then will NOT stop saying them at every chance. That’s really the only thing that annoys me about them. Otherwise, the REPETITIVE soundbites can be a little annoying, but they’re really pretty harmless.

Radnich is a jackass, but at least he’s playing the character of a jackass. Which still bugs the crap out of me, but is way better than Damon Bruce’s actual jackassery.

I haven’t listened to Fitz and Brooks in a looooooong time, so no comment there.

Razor and Mr. T are occasionally listenable, but I’ve come to find that both of them do the same annoying things every day and outside of the Steve Young show I never really get more than 10 minutes of listening out of them before I have to shut it off from getting mad.

A meniscus is nothing to be concerned about. I have had five athroscopic knee sugeries for meniscus tears (three on one knee, two on the other) in twenty years . They go in, trim off the damage, and you are good to go in about two to six weeks, depending on the severity of the tear.

It’s not that big a deal, but then again nobody is about to pay me $8M to play baseball :-)

I didn’t watch the end of the game, but from what I’ve read in the game threads, it certainly sounds like Bochy laid a gigantic deuce right on Buster Posey’s forehead for no damn reason. What the horrendous, knife-involved fuck. Who does this guy think he is? Why didn’t Posey catch Bumgarner? Was there a stupid-shit reason or is a it a vast, incompetent conspiracy? Are they trying to restrict his at bats in the hope that he’ll win the ROY next season? I pray that they aren’t that stupid, but it is definitely possible. I’m astounded, angered and disgusted. There are no words for this. I didn’t think that things could be worse after Houston and Cincinatti, but they do appear to be.

Yes, urinating can put out fires and save lives.

It worked in Gulliver’s Travels:

The empress likes Gulliver at first; he charms her by kissing her hand. However, when he extinguishes the fire in her quarters of the palace by urinating on the building, she is repulsed and turns against him.

http://www.answers.com/topic/gulliver-s-travels-novel-2

It should be noted, however, that Gulliver towered over Lilliput and the Lilliputian princess, who, according to the Ted Danson miniseries I watched as a kid, Gulliver drenched with his urine. JctGamer might not be large enough (and/or Bochy might not be small enough) to make this work.

I realize I am asking for scrutiny here...

But I have a friend that is a relief pitcher in the bigs (and he’s having a hell of a year). After a game where the Giants played against his team, we were hanging out and bashing Bruce Bochy. He feels the same way about Bochy that most of us here do. We don’t think Bochy knows what he is doing. He also agrees with me that Bochy will not be re-signed by the Giants.

This whole Buster Posey thing is good evidence towards his dunceness. Also, specifically, the fact that he brings guys up to get wark two or three times a game and then won’t even use them sometimes…. unbelieveable. My friend said he would have a lot of words with a manager that did that to his arm.

Yeah, I’m surprised to hear this brought up as a complaint about Bochy because my impression was he’s pretty good about this. But maybe after Alou being so incredibly bad about warming guys up unnecessarily, Bochy looks okay by comparison.

I'm in

No Rowand, Renteria or Molina. I’ll take the small victories.

Rowand

At one point late in the game (after one of the innumerable Blank singles) Aaron spent an inordinate amount of time watching the replay on the Juimbo as he strolled back to his position.

No , really. Count ten seconds , and remember that the ball is still in play.

This whole time Rowand is not interested in what’s happening on the playing field but what happened on the playing field.

I’m a little frustrated by much of things Rowand , so I yelled “WATCH THE GAME , ROWAND!”

Pretty sure he hears that because as he turned to face the action he managed to flip the bird with his right hand.

Ya know...ignorance really IS bliss.
Well - I do , anyway.

I can’t even tell whether this is a real lineup or you’re trying to make fun of Bochy.

Posting the lineup has almost become like trolling.

At least this means Buster will be out in the bull pen. I’m gonna try to get him to sign my catchers mitt.

Why would you want an autograph of a bullpen catcher?

I just want to get the signature of someone who doesn’t exist.

I was pleased to peruse the latest Giants magazine today and see these topical headlines:

Spotlight – Nate Schierholtz
The Perfect Fit – Freddy Sanchez
The Evolution of Matt Cain

and they talk about the SI jinx!

I think Bochy’s head is casting a shadow on Nate.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

Yeah and

…Franchez is on the cover with the quote “This is where I’m supposed to be.”

hopefully Bochy is just waiting to give him his first ever start at home?
