Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.
Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

"It’s been a great season, a surprising season, but it was hard to envision this team making the playoffs with the lowest on-base percentage and the fewest walks in the major leagues.

**So … Cain for Fielder?

(**=sarcasm) "

Oh, and I also LOLed at this part:

"The Giants were 22-0 when scoring at least eight runs. Until Tuesday night, that is.

That’s an amazing statistic. I had no idea the Giants scored eight runs 22 times."

I liked this quote also

Posey got a scoreless inning out of Merkin Valdez in the ninth. If that doesn’t tell you he’s ready to be a major league catcher …

You want to see a walk? Then go watch the mailman.

That was my first thought as well.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

“I asked Valdez if he crossed Posey up and he just shrugged. "Fastball," he said.”

LOL. Why would anyone think Merkin has secondary pitches? Silly Buster.

I wonder if Valdez just nods to whatever sign the catcher puts down, then throws a fastball anyway.

From what I hear, it’s pretty big in the Pleiades cluster.

Utter frustration and futility.

by Johnny Disaster on Sep 23, 2009 5:00 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

but everything I hear from Giants officials, both on and off the record, is that his catching skills are up to major league snuff.

So what the hell is the problem? Why is Bengie starting every damn day with Whiteside getting all the rest of the work in?

I'm thinking but nothing's happening.

I would be very, very surprised if he didn’t read McC.

We will be able to confirm it
