Bochy is awesome with the bullpen. There’s no doubt about it. It’s refreshing after Felipe Alou. Last year, Romo’s ERA was over 5.00 at one point, but Bochy didn’t care and kept running him out in the late innings.

but when you consider it’s basically the only thing he’s really good at, it’s less impressive
Well, I actually also think he does a pretty good job of keeping the team on an even keel— not too high after wins, not too low after crushing defeats… but those are the only two things I really appreciate Bork for

I really have no problem with the way he handles pitching staff
I actually don’t have a problem with Bochy like most people here seem to(my beefs with Sabez). I think it’s important to have managers that can manage pitching staffs more than anything else, since mismanagement of pitchers can lead to injury. Our lineup isn’t going to score more runs until we get better players, not a better manager.
My question
Is Bob Brenly good with a bullpen?

Question
Has there ever been a pitcher who threw a no hitter and lost?
My Son.
2010 Giants: "The thing is, it happened."
From wikipedia:
Unlike a perfect game, in which no batters reach base, in regular no-hitters batters can reach base in other ways, such as a walk, an error, or a hit batsman, and so it is possible to lose a no-hitter. On April 23, 1964, Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt .45s became the only pitcher to lose a complete game no-hitter in nine innings when he was beaten 1-0 by Cincinnati. The winning run was scored by Pete Rose in the top of the ninth inning via an error, groundout, and another error.9 In 1967, Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles pitched a combined no-hitter, but lost 2-1 to the Detroit Tigers.
- and -
In games where the home team leads after the top of the ninth, the visiting pitcher will only pitch 8 innings, and so can complete a full game without allowing a hit but not be credited with an official no-hitter. This has happened four times in MLB history: Silver King (1890), Andy Hawkins (1990), and Matt Young (1992) pitched complete games without allowing a hit, but pitched only 8 innings as the losing pitcher from the visiting team, and thus are not credited with a no-hitter.1112 On June 28, 2008, Jered Weaver and José Arredondo of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim threw 8 no-hit innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, but lost the game 1-0 and are not credited with a no-hitter. This is the first near no-hitter of this kind in which more than one pitcher was involved.
LOL Houston!

Bases loaded with nobody out and one run in. Odds favor them scoring at least one run.
Also, it does favor the home team because they had made 3 fewer outs than the Giants. That’s my best guess, anyway.

The 209 is not exactly the Ivory Coast. We are talking about Stockton. Hell its not even Salinas.
I do not hate A-rod which probably puts me in the minority here, but Braden’s antics are pretty lame to me.

when did Dallas say the 209 is the Ivory Coast? Is it wrong to be proud of where you came from? Urban however is a douche
An instant buzz is on the rise, the whiskey's for a big surprise.
I was obviously using a hyperbole there, but Urban asked the question about the 209 as if to say “we both know those are some mean streets bro.” He also did the same thing on CSN the day of the incident with A-Rod. Braden fed into it with his answer IMHO.

For the first year out of college,My girlfriend and I couldn’t get jobs (loconomy) and I don’t have a parents’ house to fall back on. So I came back to my grandma’s house and she went back to her parents’ house. I did finally get a low-paying job, and my girlfriend caught on with a silly- low super-sub minimum wage stipend getting social work experience in Richmond. Every time it seemed like our bank accounts were going to stabilize after that, some stupid expense screwed us out of it and put us back in the red. It’s been a bit of a comedy of errors of excruciating expenses for the last two years. At long last, though, the tide is turning.

Giants by four
with a low scoring offense and an inconsistent pen, this is gonna be torture all season. Nonetheless, at the end of the year, it will be the Giants in first by four games.
if Freddie Sanchez, Mark DeRosa and Aubrey Huff are the answer, I guess I just didn't understand the question.
If we isolate the pitching aspect of the Giants, I have to say that currently, I am enjoying being a Giants fan now more so than anytime since we took Game 5 of the 2002 World Series.
It should be scientifically impossible to win comfortably with the lineups we throw out there, but even though we don’t do it consistently, we somehow do it every once in awhile. A 2-0 lead feels like a 4-0 lead.

just want the giants in first.
suppose that’s myopic, but Colorado winning puts them 3GB, and the Giants tied for the lead.
don’t like the idea of San Diego hanging around because I’m not as confident as everyone else for this sudden tanking. I don’t think the Padres will sustain their success at this level, but I really don’t want them hanging around…
not with that bullpen and a roster full of Giant-killers.
Their rotation is Clayton Richard, Wade LeBlank, Mat Latos, Jon Garland, and Kevin Correia.

this is kind of my point
living down here in San Diego, i got the impression that the Padres were a popular last-place pick because the NL West is a division full of teams with clear strengths and known flaws…and then the Padres. But they’re winning their games. They’re stealing a shitload of bases, their bullpen is one of the best in the majors, and their starters do just enough typically to keep them in games.
and trivialize the lineup, but i don’t think anyone on this board feels good about a 9th inning where we get to see David Eckstein, Adrian Gonzalez, Chase Headley, Scott Hairston, and Yorvit Torrealba come up. They may be horrible all season, but against the Giants nobody would be surprised if those guys all hit consecutive doubles.
The only part of their team that could be called above average is their bullpen.
Make no mistake about it, both their starting rotation and their lineup are below-average. And it’s hard to be a contender if that’s the case.
Thing C
with all their injuries
outside of Ubaldo, i feel the same way about the Rockies’ rotation. And their bullpen. And their lineup average right now— Tulowitzki and maybe Carlos Gonzalez (esp. w/ Ian Stewart going cold.)

OK, so except for the Rockies’ best starter, a guy who is right now in the top 5 of starters in the NL, they are about the same. Got it.
Thing C
I find their lineup to be very above average as well. Hawpe comes back this weekend, and Helton never hit in April anyway. His SLG is way low though. Jim Tracy just needs to figure out he cannot continue to run Barmes out there and they’ll do some damage.
I want them to lose as many games as possible before their annual 20 game win streak in the 2nd half starts kicking in.

Zito learned how to win!
Early NL CY candidates:
1) The Doc – as expected by many preseason projections; also the myth goes AL>CWS>NL
2) Ubaldo – some yahoo guy at Yahoo Sports! actually predicted him as a darkhorse CY winner preseason
3) Timmy – rest tried to be the King but the Ace is back-to-back
4) Zito – experts’ pick…WHAAAAAAT?
/Win the inning
//Renteria - Still not a VD but I crush a lot
///Willism is Realism
“Romo was unbelievable,” Zito said. “Not only did he do something incredible in getting out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam against their two best hitters, but coming off last night, a lot of guys would have been defeated out there. Romo has as much courage and tenacity as any guy I’ve played with.”
All Romosexuals are now effectively on Swaggerwatch detail.

Zito was actually a leading story on SportsCenter last night. And we’re in first now, with the second best record in the league, so they’re going to have to start paying more attention. Hell, even Kruk (that’s John Kruk, not our Kruk) changed hist tune and called us the current favorites to win the division.

Is it just me?
or do we lose every 3rd game where we’ve gone for a sweep this year other than the Houston game? Ie, if we only count the 1st 2 games of a series, We’d have a .750 winning percentage (or feels like it).
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
we have
of completed series, the only series other than the Astros series where the Giants have won the first two were on the last home stand. Where we avoided the sweep each time.
If they just had counted the first two series, they’d be 14-5, so pretty good guess on the 750 wp, as that’s just one game off.

Open academics question for MCC
Is it harder to write one 8 page paper or 4 2-page papers (as I’m doing now)
My Son.
2010 Giants: "The thing is, it happened."
4 2-page papers. I took an American Lit class where the teacher made us write our essays on one 5 × 7 cards. That was so hard! (TWSS)
why?

This. Its easy to find enough material for two page papers, but hard to find enough for 8 pages. Only downside is that you have to write 4 intros and conclusions. I hate those.

1 8 pager is harder.
2 pagers, man, you can just knock that shit out. They are over before you know it. Hardly have to develop anything. Don’t have to worry that you are repeating yourself.
Mrs Stankus, a PoliSci major in her college years, thinks one 8 pager is better. Cause she was trained to spout pure BS…

For just a book response or something, the 8 page. But for a critical essay, I find it hard (usually) to cram everything I want to say in 4 pages.

Awesome story on Baggs’ post game write up
Funny story from the pregame clubhouse. Duane Kuiper pointed to a gentleman who was talking to the coaches and asked if I knew the man’s name. I didn’t.
It was Woody Woodward, former big league infielder and one-time GM for the Seattle Mariners.
"I went to a Brewers game as a kid, 14 years old, and I said to my dad, `I want to be just like him,’" Kuiper said. "He was an infielder, he was sort of the same body type as me and I liked the way he played the game."
Turns out Kuiper got his wish, and then some. Woodward had 2,424 plate appearances over nine big league seasons. Kuiper amassed 3,754 plate appearances over 12 seasons.
They both hit one home run.
"Be careful what you wish for," Kuiper said.
Only six players in major league history have more plate appearances than Woodward without hitting more than one career home run. Kuiper is the leader of that pack.
"The thing is, we get on each other all the time about that," Kuiper said. "But that’s what everyone else does, so we should be the last ones to do it to each other."

I said it a few times in the GDTs: Huff gets a free pass from me on all annoying things he might feasibly do as long as his OPS is above 800. That’s how desperate I am for even a modicum of 1B production.

My impression is that not only is his curveball back in top form, his location is improved in some respects. Namely, when he makes a mistake, it’s usually inside or outside, and not up and over the plate. The curveball is really grinding in on right handed batters and dropping out of the strike zone… which is helping him induce grounders, and keeping the ball out of the air. His GB/FB is 1.22, which is the highest of his career so far, and he’s been getting plenty of help from the defense, as suggested by his BABIP.
He’s not giving up walks, he’s inducing ground balls, and he’s KEEPING THE BALL DOWN. They all strike me as a product of improved command, but I think a lot of that hinges on that curve; namely, knowing exactly how that curve is going to break, and using it to great effect. In past years, his curve has kind of faded in and out, which was contributing to him leaving balls up and out over the plate.
