Post-game thread: Giants score runs, forget Sanchez is pitching

I've always said that Posey needs to hit .750 if he's going to make it on this team.

I don't know about you, but I think I need a cigarette after that.

Mickey takes Minnie to court for a divorce. When the judge asks for the reason why, he hears Mickey say that Minnie has gone crazy. In order to prove this, the judge puts Minnie through a series of examinations by psychiatrists and other doctors. She checks out ok, so the judge is confused and a little angry at Mickey.

The judge asks Mickey, “Mickey, why did you say that Minnie has gone crazy?”

Mickey, in an annoying tone, replied, “I didn’t say that Minnie is crazy. I said she’s fucking Goofy.”

And for all of you that were miffed about the strike zone in Doc’s perfect game, a bit of vindication. ESPN’s TMI blog, under the subtitle “A Hidden Story:”

Of Halladay’s 6 strikeouts, 5 came on pitches that were not in the Pitch F/X strike zone.

from the few Halladay starts I’ve seen, it does seem like he gets the “Maddux/Glavine” strike zone pretty frequently…

He’s one of those “elder statesmen” pitchers, you know? Paid his dues, shown consistent excellence over his career, etc. If there’s one pitcher in baseball right now who approaches Maddux/Smoltz/Glavine-type status, it’s Halladay.

Not that he should get preferential treatment, but it’s a decent comparison.

I still haven’t gotten all the emblems. I don’t think I’m even close. It took me long enough just to get through all the characters (granted, I re-played it over winter break and the entire thing took maybe a day and a half, but still).

And then there’s the whole Chao mini-game thing that can waste hours.

Yeah, I didn’t really like SA2 as much either. One of my favorite aspects of SA was walking around the lands and being able to explore. You couldn’t do that at all in SA2.

Also, Tails being in the robot suit sucked. Being able to fly was the best part about playing his character. That and how it was basically playing Sonic’s level, but racing and being able to pull a few shortcuts.

Plus, the shoe grinding thing pissed me off. Especially the space level. I could not get through that level without dying at least five times after falling off the rails.

Also, as I watch this one, there are some flaws in the run, things that cost him several seconds on a couple of easy stars that would have been really, really easy to just reload from a save state and re-do if he were emulating. My hunch is that it’s legit.

I was watching the game with my girlfriend today and explaining to her why I was so excited about Buster

I said “He’s one of the best prospects in the game, especially because he plays catcher”

She saw him get a putout at 1B and immediately said “Well why is he playing there then?”

I had no good answer for her. It seems that if a woman who has watched probably, 30 baseball games in her life realizes that Posey should be behind the dish, Sabean would. Alas, so it goes. good win, and good Buster.

Sounds like my adventure with brandy.

Around ‘94 I took my wife out to dinner on her birthday to the Compass Room at the downtown Phoenix Hyatt (That’s the building with the “hat”. The “hat” is a rotating restaurant.) where we had brandy after dinner. My Dad had always had a bottle of Grand Marnier around but I had never had it until the dinner.

But $20 for a snifter?
I shuddered at the imagined cost of a bottle.

So when the liquor store clerk asks me what brandy I wanted I asked what the price range was – and of course walked with some $4.99 turpentine.

Lesson learned, because it’s been nada but Marnier since.

Um . . .

. . . Grand Marnier is considered a liquer, not a brandy (though it does contain cognac).

Both liquers and brandies are, for the better ones, frighteningly expensive. Of the inexpensive brandies, Korbel is commonly thought to be the most acceptable.

It is ironic that Americans fancy French brandy as the distinguished after-dinner drink, while the French fancy American bourbon. (Good bourbons are also frighteningly expensive.)

The hits were nice . . .

. . . but what impressed me were some of Posey’s takes on close pitches in counts when you’d expect an anxious rookie to swing away. Hits are hits, but all three were pretty much served up on a T; his takes, though, strongly suggest someone who will mostly confine his swings to balls he might actually hit. Some others could take that for a model.

I spent 20 minutes trying to make sense of that box score myself. And I was shocked to see the name “Posey” in it because I hadn’t know he had been upcalled.

I knew he was being called up, but I wasn’t expecting this kind of performance in his first major league game.

Technically, not really. He was called up for a few weeks last season, but had almost no playing time. Did appear in a few games and took a few at-bats, but the highlight was him catching a foul ball while being a bullpen catcher, haha.

ESPN's reference to Bochy's big head
The player with the biggest head (size 8) in baseball history was a catcher, Bruce Bochy, who, after hitting a walk-off homer for the Padres, walked on a red carpet to his locker where a six-pack of beer in ice was sitting in his helmet. “You can fit a six-pack in some helmets,” said Bochy’s then-teammate Terry Kennedy, “but only in Boch’s can you fit a six-pack and ice.”

Epic Rant from guy on baggs blog
This team makes no sense. Bengie is a fat ass who hurts this team. God damn Giants fans, media, beat writers, and front office are compiled of IDIOTS. This kid should be starting at catcher EVERY DAY. What is wrong with all of you? If he’s here for a week, what is the point? To let DeRosa’s wrist, which every one on the planet says needs surgery, supposedly heal? So we get to watch Molina, DeRosa, Renteria, Rowand, etc. all suck except for one week?

This franchise, and it’s fans, are ASS backwards. I feel like I’m in a bizarro world where common baseball sense and knowledge are interpreted as fantasy.

If they send Posey down, I will personally kick Sabean in his nut.

The figure with the mock halo was Buster Posey, of course. Before and after the rookie’s smooth and serene three-hit season debut, teammates were giving him grief over the huge expectations that have been heaped upon him.

I watched this game because I'm in the DC market.

He half chalks this up to pitch count. After the HR he was dealing. The bases were loaded with nobody out after a walk and two little bleeder ground balls I think. He wasn’t getting hit that hard. He was at 86 pitches and the manager comes to take him out. You could read what was going on in his head and it wasn’t PG. “You’re not gonna let me strike out one of these rubes or get a ground ball at somebody for a change to get me out of this inning no worse than even at 2-2. I hate losing and this damn pitch count stuff is going to be the reason for my loss. I’m gonna start beaning coaches during my bullpen!!!!”

Moar Chance at Rib Eyes. Also, prevents Posey from driving them in to embarrass the man.

here's hoping Posey runs over Molina and leaves tire marks

although the fat will be slippery.

if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.

If only Uribe wasn’t getting a much deserved day off, this would be nearly an ideal set of deckchairs.

Also

I like that Posey isn’t catching for Wellemeyer. I want Posey to catch for good pitchers so that it looks like he’s calling a good game, instead of potentially being blamed for a Wellemeyer meltdom.

Goddam it

If there is one person that Buster should be catching, it’s Wellemeyer.

Why the fuck can’t Buster catch Todd?

I dunno that I agree. See my rationale above.

Let me clarify: I want Posey to be starting 3 to 4 out of every 5 games. I’m just saying that, accepting the fact that Bochy will pick and choose Posey’ starts sporadically, I want his starts to happen with good pitchers.

PALMFACE
extrabaggs Buster Posey hitting 6th again, but he could move to 7th when Uribe and Molina are in the same lineup, Bruce Bochy says.
