Dammit, Grant
It’s like you’re trying to make me unproductive. I’m hammering out drawings in the architecture studio at school, I check to see if you put a proper post-game write up on here, and I see this thing. And I’m in the central time zone, so it’s 3 am.
BUT TIM FUCKING LINCECUM, MY LORD SON YOU SURE DO KNOW HOW TO PITCH.

I think I’ve heard that phrase..“playoff experience”..a couple times tonight. Hmm.
Seriously though, all that work that Tim has put in the last 2 and a half years, all the consistency, all the filthiness that he’s put up while the Giants threw out such bad lineups, we should’ve known that he was going to make it count tonight. It’s very fitting, both a reward for his hard work and a challenge to fulfill as a leader for this team. I think we can say the same for Cain (longest tenured Giant, am i right?)
Sweet
A new thread right when I’m able to get on. Basically listened to the whole game in the radio, but I had no complaints. Kuip was awesome.
That last strike 3 call was absolutely perfect. I was on an amazing natural high at that moment.
Hopefully it carries into Game 2.

I forgot to mention this in the other thread, but I bought a Buster Posey shirt at the dugout store before the game today, and then Buster Posey scored the winning run.
I’m not saying the Giants would have gotten shut out if I hadn’t bought the shirt, but I’m not not saying it either.

I'm very happy, and I have nothing to say. But I just thought of a rant...
I can’t believe Bochy is playing Pablo. All he does is GIDP. At the worst moments.
Dear Bochy – Please sit Pablo and play Fontenot at SS and OOOribe at 3rd. Rinse and repeat until we win the damn WS.
I still can’t believe the Braves intentionally walked him after he looked so awful in his first AB. I’m so glad Ross made them pay.

Pablo is a far more dangerous hitter than Fontenot.
But he needs to chill the fuck out.
The Giants need him to do well. It’s really that simple. Pablo on the bench or Pablo sucking, EITHER WAY, is bad fucking news for the Giants.

A question . . .
. . . that I posed on the older thread, but apparently too late to find anyone still there:
In the 3rd inning, with Ross on 3B and 1 out, could FSanchez habe mistakenly read the signs as calling for a suicide squeeze? (Or might there have been one on and Ross missed it?) Sanchez’s lunge at the ball really looked like a desperate must-bunt attack.

Haven’t read through the thousands of comments, so maybe this has been covered already but can’t help but think that this ‘leaving TL in to bat in the 7th/letting him pitch the 9th-business’ of Bochy’s, was that a statement to Phiily et al that, while the bar has been set by Halladay’s no-no, Roy aint the only game in town?

Sorry in advance, but what do the reverse K’s mean when I see them on the right field brick wall? I know it’s a certain kind of stikeout, but what kind? Thanks.

It's for your viewing pleasure...
I think they do it every third K so you can count up the Ks faster (last night: 4 reverse Ks + 2 regular Ks=14 Ks)
Every third K is orange for easy counting. Backwards Ks are for strikeout-looking.

Cool, thanks everyone.
I remember as a kid my Grandfather would score the games when we went to Candlestick together. They must have given scorecards and little pencils away at the entrance gates at the time? It always puzzled me why the stikeout was a K, (never even saw a backwards K until PacBell…) he told me because the S was already taken for Stolen Base. I’ll have to give scoring a try sometime — I’m just not sure I can stay that focused at a ballpark. Haha
There are general guidelines, but everyone can develop their own “dialect.” The National used one/two/three dots instead of 1B/2B/3B for singles/doubles/triples. I don’t even know what’s going on here. This one is fairly standard, though it’s hard to tell on some how they reached base.
I used to keep score somewhat regularly, but if I’m at the game, I don’t have the patience to do so, and if I’m at home, I’m probably on this site. But it’s fun to do, and makes for a pretty cool souvenir. Give it a shot some day. Part of me thinks it’s one of those things every baseball fan should know how to do, like how all men should be able to change a tire.

Ah, so
The playoffs get their own “series” to download, which will hopefully include all the games. So when the Yankees/Twins was posted to Games of the Year, it was probably an error. Am writing a fiercely worded letter.

It's kind of a cliche, and it's been said
But these Giants have playoff experience. Their September schedule was a month’s worth of playoff games, essentially, given the way the division and wild card races went in the NL. How stressful was that last week against the Rockies, DBacks and Padres? So last night wasn’t like something they had no idea how to handle.

At one point in Thursday’s mind-blowing game, Lincecum struck out on Brooks Conrad on some sort of ridiculous super pitch — Conrad seemed to literally swing through the ball (he foul tipped it). Bob Brenly called it a change-up. I shouted, "Come on Bob, that wasn’t a change-up. That was a curveball." And so I rewound the thing and watched it. And I said, "Oh wait, maybe he was right. Maybe it was a change-up." I rewound again and watched and said, "No, that wasn’t a change-up. That was a slider." I rewound again and watched and said, "No, wait, I think that WAS a curveball." I rewound again and finally settled on it being a slider. But really it was some sort of shape-shifting pitch. It could be whatever you wanted it to be.

That was probably the most comfortable 1-run lead I’ve ever seen.
Also, if Lincecum doesn’t give up that leadoff double to Infante, he throws a no-hitter. Just an amazing to watch. Just amazing dominant. It was like he was just responded to our requests… “Huh, you guys want a strikeout? Okay.” K

All my life I have wondered what it would have been like seeing Sandy Koufax pitch. I have a pretty good idea of that after last night. Bravo Timmy!
For fun, I looked up Koufax’s postseason games, and the best I found was game 7 of the 1965 WS against the Twins (Jim Katt), a 2-0 win, 3 H, 3 BB, 10 K, CG. The infamous Zoilo Versalles had one of the hits.

On game shows, they sometimes do that thing where they tell the contestant that they’ve already won the version of the home game and the spa weekend. That’s secure. But now they move on to the next round and play for the washer-dryer combo.
No matter what happens from here on out, we have the memory of this incredible game. Even if we don’t end up with the washer-dryer combo, we still got to see Lincecum put on a clinic in a year when people were falling all over themselves to criticize and doubt him, and we can’t lose that.
That picture of the posey tag is a horrible representation of what went down.
I came into the office to people who didn’t watch the game and said “did you see the picture? he was like almost two feet away!”
Crazy haterism (bandwagonism) going on...
Pads fans down here hating and rooting for any team not the Giants, and rooting for them with even more passion than their own Padres.
Wow.
Lincecum forced 31 swings and misses, which is easily a career high and the most for ANY pitcher in ANY game this season. The Braves missed 56.4 percent of their 55 swings.
From espn: http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/8766/tim-lincecum-king-of-the-hill
From the New York Times
As a result, the only ways for most pitchers to reduce the number of hits they allow are to avoid surrendering home runs and to get more strikeouts, so batters never put the ball in play to begin with. This is why the list of pitchers who have whiffed 15 batters in a game over the last decade is so much more impressive than the list of pitchers who have thrown no-hitters in that timespan.
Neither Halladay nor Lincecum gave up a home run, so they were even on that score. But their strikeout totals were markedly different: Halladay punched out "only" 8 batters to Lincecum’s 14. By my calculation, with normal luck, a pitcher with Halladay’s eight strikeouts, one walk, and zero home runs allowed in 28 batters faced would give up an average of 1.55 earned runs per nine innings, while one with Lincecum’s 14 strikeouts, 1 walk, and 0 home runs allowed in 30 batters faced would surrender just 0.37.
This approach tells you who pitched better. Whose pitching was more valuable is an entirely different question — and the answer is even more favorable to Lincecum.
The Phillies didn’t need Roy Halladay to throw a no-hitter, or even a shutout. Since they scored four runs, they would have triumphed even if Halladay had allowed three. Lincecum’s shutout, by contrast, won the Giants a 1-0 nailbiter — with anything less than Tim Lincecum at his best on the mound, they would have gone into extra innings or lost outright.

It’s already a fanshot. I’m sorry but it would be nice for fanshot links to actually have more attribution so I don’t keep duplicating things. Like: “NY Times: Lincecum Better than Halladay?”

I feel like I can make this comment as I witnessed Halladay’s no hitter in person.
As a whole the Phillies game was more “magical” and quirky. However, Lincecum’s performance as a whole was much more dominating.

I’m well aware that we’re talking about a no-hitter, but even given that, I have trouble imagining a more magical performance that that. The score was 1-0, but it could have been 22-0 the way he was mowing them down. And the crowd sustained a status of apeshit for seven of the nine innings. I’ve never seen anything close to that.
Not saying you’re wrong, but I don’t know that either of us is in a position to judge both games, when we’ve each only been to one.

This why I love baseball also. I can’t wait to argue that Tim was better than Halladay with a few Philly fans.
