So who was sent down yesterday?

He would be useful in this situation. Still, I’m glad it wasn’t the boy.

The Red Sox are so much better than us
Every single one of their hitters is better than every single one of ours. Hopefully the guys are watching and learning. This series has been really pathetic to watch.

They could be Giants...but not really.

HYSTERIA!!!!

inconsistent zone is inconsistent
I enjoy complaining about umps as much as the next guy, but I much prefer when I’m just being a fanboy. The above plot would seem indeed to reflect some unfairness. Yucky.
It's been this way all series
Welcome to yankee’s, red sox, phillies, and dodgers strike zone.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
it wasn't bad yesterday after the second
but the second had some bad calls on high-leverage pitches
It's called making ample threats for the favored team early
Ya know, so all the red sox people (85% of the people watching the game) don’t get bored and turn it off, can’t hurt those precious national TV ratings for mr selig.

true
It’s a bad zone, and there might be some bias in there in the back of the umps mind “oh these guys don’t swing at balls outside the zone, and they didn’t swing at that, is that really a strike?”

The problem with the Giants is
Their hitting is too inconsistent to sustain hitting streaks. And they are going to keep having this problem if Sabean doesn’t make a trade.

I don’t know about you. But it’s hard for me to take the National League too seriously. The Sox scored another run off Lincecum as Youkilis singled, Drew walked and Hall singled to left. Hall is 2 for 2.
Lincecum has thrown 79 pitches in three innings and was just pinch hit for. He’s done.
They could be Giants...but not really.

All Giants who get hits should immediately be selected to the all-star game. This is because the American League is superior, particularly when coming from the eastern coast.

I never liked this...it should count both
or be called “The Giants Splash Hit Counter”
A splash hit is a splash hit
regardless of who hits it.
I’d like to know how many total splash hits there have been over the years.
It just smacks of homerism. Defining a stat to keep just for your team is weak in my opinion. Count it for everyone. It becomes part of the park’s history as much as the Giants’ splash hits.
Now we don’t have to like it, but to just not count them like they don’t exist is lame.
I don’t give a shit. You can be homer in your OWN DAMN PARK on a stat that OH, IS NOT A REAL STAT.

It is a real stat. It might not be an official MLB stat of course, but it is data that is being collected and prominently displayed. What I think is weak is the critieria that is used to define the stat (only Giants players can participate).
I think many here would find it especially weak and lame if some other team did something similar.
You know what I find expecially weak and lame?
You.

no problem with Mad Bum hitting there.
only the 5th inning. save Burrell and Uribe for a situation later with runners on base where they can do more damage than leading off.

I don’t know about you. But it’s hard for me to take the National League too seriously. The Sox scored another run off Lincecum as Youkilis singled, Drew walked and Hall singled to left. Hall is 2 for 2.
Lincecum has thrown 79 pitches in three innings and was just pinch hit for. He’s done.
Laughed at the smugness, then I saw this and confirmed my diagnosis of middle aged virgin was correct LOL CHEESEBURGER.
Don’t try and talk sports when you’ve never played one before, let alone ever went outside.
