I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if we get to the playoffs, does Zito start game 1 based on how he’s throwing? And do we leave Lincecum off the playoff roster teehee
Hope Timmers can fix his shit

Utley in college
used to lead off games with the vengaboys 6 flags song (we like to party). Of course pitchers thought he was a joke so they’d try to sneak a fastball in first pitch. Of course, being Chase Utley he’d go deep, Most of his homers that year were leading off that season

As recently as two months ago I never thought I'd be saying this, but
Guillen acquisitions notwithstanding, our starting pitching worries me more than our offense. And I’m not terribly worried about our bullpen, either.
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
More importantly, even until last inning, we were hitting hard.
Certainly taking Molina out of the picture helped, but it seems like we don’t GIDP nearly as much as we used to, and that’s helping us stay in the game, even when our starters have no wins for what, 13 starts now?

I still don't understand why you don't walk him.
Sweeney is garbage. With 0 outs do you really think Zito had strike out stuff?
Really
I honestly don’t think it matters. Sweeny would’ve gotten a single or a bloop double.
Not that you don’t have a point, but I think even with a walk of Victorino, the outcome’s the same.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?
he induces a lot of pop-ups.

There’s a weird dichotomy in perceptions of Southern accents. We get shit for it because it makes us sound stupid, and then some people are all for it because it makes Matt Downs sound hotter. I’ve given up trying to understand it.
I like low voices. I bet you sound great.

I think they’re lovely, if that doesn’t sound too patronizing. Georgian accents in particular are great.

Why are they walking ??

…is to walk their entire lineup fifteen times over until they are too tired to continue, leaving the Giants able to capitalize in the 7th and make up the 50 or so runs.

Well, this isn’t going well.
I hate when the Giant score in the first inning, making me think they can play well, then they go all impotent at the plate for the next 8 innings.
And also, it would be nice if one of the starters actually got a win.
And also also, EVERYBODY QUIT BITCHING ABOUT BLOOP HITS. THEY HAPPEN. IT’S NOT A COSMIC CONSPIRACY.

Well, if our starters would get more than 3 minutes rest between innings
That would be pretty awesome. Most of our pitchers’ awful innings come as a result of sitting down and basically having to stand right back up.

See it? No, farther than 2nd base. No farther. Past the wall thing out there. No, past the benches. See it? No, above the walkway. Yes, THAT glove.”

2002 was torture too, but you always knew that the Giants would find a way to come back and win… this time the torture’s different.
Now leave me alone, I’m looking for a dvd to watch!
It was all smoke and mirrors

Still 7 games left with them and they have a tough schedule to end the season.

Anyway how can Sabean compete against a team w/ a $37millionpayroll.
And Bochy was such a great manager last month when the Giants led the Universe in hitting.
Shame on anyone who blame either of them.

ATL, COL and LAD
They’re beating the Padres.
You do realize that the difference between the Giants and Padres is due to the Padres being 9-2 in games between them? Otherwise, they are about the same

You're confusing me man.
I know Cain is pitching tomorrow. I know that he (DrDC) gave up on this game. You don’t need to keep going on about it.
Let me say that I think Cain would be quite a fuck.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
Again, when a man loves a baseball player very much…

I blame Bochy
it doesn’t matter who is in the Giants Bullpen, Bochy’s style of managing overuses all of them
if you gave him 15-pitcher staff, he’d overuse all 10 relievers
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
You constantly mention that
Do you have any factual backup that he overworks his bullpen in relation to the rest of the league?
What else is he supposed to do?
Starters:
8/4: 4 IP
8/5: 6.1 IP
8/6: 7 IP
8/7: 5 IP
8/8: 4 IP
8/9: 5.2 IP
8/10: 4 IP
8/11: 6.1
8/12: 6
8/13: 6.1
8/14: 7
8/15: 3.2
8/17: 5
That’s the starters fault…that was supposed to be the strength of the team.

The bullpen is stretched pretty thin
A long outing by Cain tomorrow would do this team wonders.
Of course, Cain’s a flyball pitcher going in a bandbox . . .

exactly. when they go 5 innings, we end up burning the ’pen.
This is all the fault of starting pitching, and as Timmy as the ace, the stopper, him failing is spreading thru the starters.
by curveball3110 on Aug 17, 2010 6:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, but some of that blame needs to lie at the feet of the hitters
Case in point:
Zeets throws a 25 pitch inning, gives up 2 runs in the 5th. 2-3-4 coming up in the 6th.
Buster sees 3 pitches, Huff 1, Burrell 3, and before he can tune his guitar, Zeets is back out there.
Pitchers are going to get fatigued over the course of a game. Hitters need to recognize that and stretch the count in those situations when possible.
That's fine, and why I said case in point
Plenty of times, that’s happened with our less patient hitters as well. First or 2nd inning? Hack away. When it gets later in the game and you’re trying to stretch innings for starters, you need to keep long half innings.
Bochy has to stop coddling Lincecum, Zito, and Sanchez
if they fuck up in the first game of a series, you have to leave them in there for at least 120 pitches
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
He's supposed to be the Ace you can't count on him for 7 decent innings
in 4 out of 5 starts
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
He’s thrown the 3rd most pitches in baseball since the start of 2008 and has seen his velocity decline
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
Veloicty is overrated in starting pitchers
location is more important
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
Also since Timmy is a changeup/fastball pitcher
the differential between FB and CU is what’s important
It's a long season
And the Giants bullpen has pitched fewer innings than the league average to this point in the season.
Just as the starters carried a lot of the load earlier in the season, the bullpen needs to suck it up and do their part as well.
this almost a completely different pen from the one in April
only Mota, Romo, and Wilson have been there all year
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
Tell you what, don't answer that
I’ll make it easier for you. The Giants starting pitching staff has the 5th most innings pitched in the majors.
throwing 7-8 innings consistently as a starter in April-May
don’t mean anything in August-September
it might be an explanation for declining performance, but it is not an excuse
the fact is that the bullpen needs to work less often right NOW in order to be effective later, so the starters are just going to have to suck it up
leaving games early in start after start means exhausting 3-4 relief pitchers in EVERY FUCKING GAME
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
saying that the Giants pitchers have "fewer innings"
means little or nothing when the pitchers they currently have were eating up innings for other ball clubs
furthermore, innings pitched is not so nearly important as “pitches made”
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
You can easily blame Ray today
Should have at least made Lidge pitch today.
Ray should not have pitched at all
at best maybe 10 pitches
but then you would have to shut him down for 2 more days
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent

Went to do some dinner prep, and I came back to 5 runs scored last inning? Shiiiiiiiit.

No one prepares, eats, or even thinks about dinner during a Giants game!
BTW: What’s for dinner?
Not done yet. Doing my version of “bangers and mash” – spicy sausage, garlic smashed potatoes, salad and garlic bread. I had to get the garlic roasting in the oven. Next I’ll slice and saute the sausage and get the red potatoes cubed and boiling.

Wow. That just put my warmed-over corn dog and macaroni to shame.

I don’t cook often, but when I do, I try to make something yummy.
Tomorrow will be rigatoni in a tomato vodka sauce with cubed fontina cheese baked in the oven.

I’m actually gonna cheat tomorrow, and use a jar of sauce from Lunardi’s. I’ve learned that for this particular dish, homemade doesn’t make that much of a difference.

I'm at a conference in St. Charles, IL
Went to TGIFridays and had baby back ribs and shrimp combo. Not very imaginative, but surprisingly good.
Going to Cubs – Pods game on Thursday, then down to St. Louis for Giants – Cards on Saturday.
Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

The expectations are high, they are not living up to expectations.
They could/should be doing much better!
It’s like having a really smart kid who only manages a 2.00 GPA
YOU’RE BETTER THAN THIS!!!!
and it’s frustrating as hell!!!!!!!!!
Who's expectations?
You are telling me that if someone told you in the beginning of the season that the Giants would be one game out of WC and Timmy was not pitching well…you wouldn’t be ecstatic?
If someone told you they'd be only one game ahead of last season's pace at this point
And looking at an ugly road trip in front of them…well, I’m not sure the word “ecstatic” would come to mind…maybe “optimistic”, but certainly not “ecstatic”.
More like a smart kid who gets A's on pop quizzes
Then listens to their dumbass parents and makes a D on the final because their mom told them the capital of Canada was Mexico City and 2+2=Bork.
