Cool little training video from this winter. Although he missed some winter ball, Bowker seems to have pushed it in his time off.

I’m LOLing at him swinging the bat in the pool.

Also, THE SHORT ARMS workout was pretty cool.

Wants to be more like Kevin Mitchell. Except for the cat thing.

Utter frustration and futility.

Jessie Spano?

The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."

JT Snow?

Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti. "I treat Timmy differently from most pitchers: I leave him alone."
Bengie Molina: "I don't understand why they didn't want to commit to another year, with my numbers and my experience and things like that." Brain Sabean: "He's certainly welcomed back with open arms".
Mychael Urban: Wow. Probably Dye at this point. Good outfielder, could adapt to RF at AT&T, good RBI guy.

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

His push-ups and pull-ups only count as half a rep

Not practicing against enough Venezuelan pitching.

Uribe and Molina laugh at Bowker, knowing that the key to getting PT under Bochy has nothing to do with being in shape and everything to do with veteran gamertude. Maybe someday Bowker will learn

Not a good soldier

STEVE HOLM! refuses to be the odd man out.

His underwater swing looks to be about the same speed as Renteria’s game swing.

Not brave enough for the deep end, eh?

My career path, have you seen it?

Does the video show him being a good soldier? If not then the Giants FO says GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR!

Bochy: What’s this fancy stat here?
IT Guy: That’s how often they get on base. I do not know why you keep asking me, I am here to fix your server.

I’m hoping for a non-Pablo INF injury that moves DeRosa there and opens up LF for John Bowker.

wow you wish infinite injuries upon non pablos?

Obviously any links in the above post are probably NSFW

Just one would do.
