Velez down. Rohlinger up. Bautista up. Renteria on the DL.
And I've seen some disparaging comments about Denny Bautista, but the dude can throw. Now if he's learned how to pitch -- not bloody likely, of course -- he'll be a nice addition to the bullpen. I was rooting for him to make the team over Waldis Joaquin, for what it's worth. Every year some hard-throwing goof turns from a AAAA-guy into a late-inning fixture. Why not Bautista?
Well, other than the talent thing. That was too obvious.

Wow, Pelfrey’s K/BB ratio is really unimpressive for someone with an ERA of 2.40

I just wish Sanchez’s wasn’t worse. Of course, Sanchez’s K/9 and H/9 are both amazing right now.
I feel prickishly demanding!
I couldn't be prouder of my recent adoptee - Tim Lincecum's dealer. He provides the secret fuel behind both Cy Youngs. Also, he taught Timmy the change-up.

He allows a lot of hits, too. The 82.6 LOB% and 4% HR/FB are to blame here. FIP of 3.51 and xFIP of 4.22.
Goodbye, Steven Johnson, we hardly knew ye. Seriously, that was short.
He also has a GB% of 51 percent
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
But that’s right in line with his career numbers (career GB% of 50.1%). He’s stranding far more runners (career 70.8% LOB%) and allowing far fewer HRs (career 7.7% HR/FB rate), both of which are luck based, so the Giants shouldn’t let the shiny ERA fool them into thinking he’s suddenly become a great pitcher. FIP and xFIP both say he’s a little better this year than he has been, but not anywhere near 2.40 ERA good.
Goodbye, Steven Johnson, we hardly knew ye. Seriously, that was short.

Eh. His approach is improved, but that’s not saying much, and his 9-game hitting streak is masking a rather pedestrian line over the last two series. He had 5 hits in the Philidelphia series, and hasn’t managed another multihit game besides those since we mopped the floor with Haegar in Los Angeles. He’s drawn some walks, but overall I haven’t thought his production has warranted him hitting cleanup over Huff or Uribe (who is slumping a bit now, so it’s somewhat moot).

My son’s last demotion improved his hitting a lot! So this visit to Fresno will likely improve his fielding. Logical to me.

Urban said David Wright is off to a bad start
When is having a .985 OPS a bad start?
FREE BUSTER POSEY
After a slow start this year, Wright takes a nine-game hitting streak into the Giants series, which has lifted his season average to .286. He homered for the fourth time during the six-game road trip Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Wright has seven long balls this season, tied with catcher Rod Barajas for the team lead. Wright didn’t reach that homer total until July 31 last season, when he finished with only 10 homers.

Adoptive father of the enigmatic Michael Sandoval, and living vicariously through his proximity to Joe Mauer and the Panda.
From watching the games, I’d say that yes his BABIP is abnormally high and he’s clearly on a hot streak, but I think it’s more a product of him making solid contact and doing a good job of pulling the ball, rather than getting lucky and picking up bloops.

OT: I see no one having any problem with this
Jesus Christ is regularly depicted as a supporting character on one of Comedy Central’s staple programs, "South Park," but now he might star in his own animated series.
The network announced their programming plans for the upcoming year Thursday, and among some of the shows in the script development phase is a half-hour cartoon called "JC."
The series would be about "JC (Jesus Christ) wanting to escape his father’s enormous shadow and to live life in NYC as a regular guy. A lot has changed in 2000 years and he is the ultimate fish out of water," according to a press release. "Meanwhile his all-powerful yet apathetic father would rather be playing video games than listening to JC recount his life in the city. JC is a playful take on religion and society with a sprinkle of dumb."
It’s important to note that script development is the very earliest stage a program can be in, said Comedy Central’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications Steve Albani in a statement to CNN.
In fact, this stage is so early, Comedy Central’s Albani "wanted to emphasize that projects at the script deal level are several levels away from being greenlit to series and appearing on air … most script deals do not even get a pilot order, the next step in the development process."

Because he plays multiple positions and has a good BB%

Because he's a good play?
Usually the ‘Why is’ question is reserved for useless players, like Velez and Ishikawa.
DeRosa is not useless.
My Son.
2010 Giants: "The thing is, it happened."
No, he’s not, but something is wrong with him right now. His swing is all sorts of messed up and I have a feeling that he might be hurt. So why is he still playing every day and not being given a chance to get healthy?
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
He’s dropping his shoulder and his swing is looping, putting him under the ball. Thus the pop-ups. It is a problem that DeRosa has noticed and is working on.

Routine fly ball, which may sound like splitting hairs, but it means he’s getting closer to getting the meat of the bat on the ball. Which I consider improvement, even if it hasn’t paid off so far tonight.

It wasn't the lack of subterfuge,
but just the fact that the information was being conveyed aurally.

That is incorrect!

Another HR?
Jeez Jonathan. Still a 3 run defecit would not be a death sentence for most teams.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

Of course, I couldn’t have hit it.
