Post-game thread: Phils whomp on Giants again
by Grant Brisbee on Aug 18, 2010 6:51 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe Giants are still in a playoff hunt. The Padres will never lose again, so that playoff hunt is probably for the Wild Card. Whatever, I won't be picky. But if they're still in a playoff hunt, why does it feel like the season is slowly slipping away? A few quick guesses:
- That's three straight whompings. The Giants don't usually get whomped -- they'll lose heartbreakers, sure, but they don't usually get whomped. Three straight whompings against direct competitors. Urf.
- They aren't hitting
- They aren't pitching
- They aren't fielding
Other than that, things are going well.
Just because it feels like the season is slipping away doesn't mean it is. There's still a month-and-a-half left. The Giants could get all July up in this place. Of course, just because it doesn't mean that it is slipping away doesn't mean that it isn't. Or something.
Maybe the Giants should stop scoring first.

I’ll cut a guy a lot of slack for less than stellar defense, but in this case, right field is gonna turn into a huge target for opposing teams. And a lot of balls are gonna drop, leading to runs scored. 5 for 11 so far is meaningless.

Nate’s defense and arm keep players from trying to stretch singles into doubles, doubles into triples whereas with Guillen in the field is just a joke.

No one is arguing that. The discussion is around the relative importance of that vs. the fact that we can’t pitch or hit
I understand that
The Giants aren’t hitting well or pitching well but I don’t know maybe this loss wouldn’t have bugged me so much if we had defense considering I think Nate’s D would prevent more runs than Guillen’s bat will give more runs.

. . . to see something “centered around” something else.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Maybe I’m having a temporary brain issue, here. I mean, it’s happened before. But “centered around” is at worst a redundant phrase.
And excuse me for using the free online M-W – my OED subscription ran out years ago – but the first definition for “center” (as a verb, despite the website’s default to noun) is “to place or fix at or around a center or central area”.
So something can be placed around something else at a center point.
So, I agree that “centered around” is a sloppy phrase just because the “around” concept is inherent to the word center itself and doesn’t need to be reiterated, but, I mean… it does make sense as a phrase. Sloppy though it may be.

Something being "centered around" is a pet peeve
of the mister’s. My own is the mis-use of “transpire” to mean “occur” or “happen”. It has a perfectly good meaning all its own, but we’re slowly losing it to people who don’t know what that meaning is.
Yes, we’re pedantic at times, but don’t take it personally — we’re pedantic with everybody!

No.
Few things are more important to natural, idiomatic speech than knowing which preposition goes with what verb. There are no rules, only established custom, but it is in almost all cases that custom is what is called “cast-iron idiom”, and using the wrong preposition makes one sound like an ESL student.
For “center” in the sense quoted—"to place or fix at or around a center or central area"—the preposition is “on”. Something either revolves around some focus point, or it is centered on that point. Conflating the two usages produces a logical impossibility, inasmuch as a “center” is a point and cannot extend around anything as a line can.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
I’m not specifically in agreement, but I’ll be glad to compromise on “centered about” and leave it at that.

Eh I’m not going to get into the Schierholtz debate as it’s getting tired, I just think that if he got more consistent playing time and had an actual role and could count on it without having to worry he’ll be benched because he had a few bad ABs/Games he would do better. But I’m pretty positive he’s not this bad of a hitter. But I’m kind of in the trade him camp knowing he’ll never get his shot here.

There was an inning where the Giants had runners on 1st and 2nd with one out and Torres at the plate. I was hoping he would try to bunt
because with his speed, you never know, you might get lucky, get the defense to hurry a throw….maybe he just gets two risp for Posey.
I like Torres’ power, but he has a tendency to forget that he’s fast…
If you mean
bunting for a hit, maybe. The guy did just hit a homer though, so looking back now yeah, you can say he should have bunted. But hindsight…
"There was hatred. And then they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants win. Woo hoo!" - Krukow
No, I was thinking of it at the time for the very scenario I layed out. I think a guy like Torres should be more selective
with his approach at the plate. They were down by three at that point…getting two runners in scoring position for a guy batting .340 is a better play than in hoping Torres can homer twice in one game. Besides, if Posey gets the IW, you have Huff batting at .295 with the tying run on base.
Not hindsight at all….
Yes it is
Giving away outs in baseball (especially with your 3rd best hitter) is foolish. A better scenario is Torres simply gets on base. You have a better chance of scoring with 1st and 2nd 1 out than 2nd and 3rd 2 out.
"There was hatred. And then they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants win. Woo hoo!" - Krukow
Torres also had the best chance of both getting K'd and beating a relay throw
so letting him swing away was not a bad risk

If you’ve eaten at one outside the Bay Area, you’ll probably be disappointed in the one in Hayward. The drinks are fine but the onion rings and chili that make their food so good aren’t the same. Which is a major bummer for someone who grew up on coney dogs, onion rings and cherry slushies. Go to the one in Tracy if you really need a Sonic fix, it’s way better.
I’d give the one in Hayward a few more months to get it right. They only opened this summer.

No, he said this:
“People will say that because it’s true, I’ve thrown to Bengie my whole career,” said Lincecum, who has made special mention of Molina while accepting his two Cy Young trophies. “But when it comes down to it, I’ve had good games with Bengie and bad games with Bengie. I’ve had good games with Buster and bad games with Buster.”
“I’ll get used to throwing to Buster. It’s been totally fine for me, working with him.”

I no longer have any expectation of making the playoffs.
The realistic chances of making the post season ended with Rollins 3 run bomb. I never liked our chances of beating out two other teams in the WC and I always felt like we were actually the better team in the NL West. That could not be more clearly wrong. And given that we would have to finish the season 28-13 and the Padres would have to go 22-21 to win the division, I no longer have any expectation of a post season appearance. I still have HOPE, but no expectation.
Giants Baseball: We give you hope without the annoyance of expectations.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
+1
Really our only hope at the division is a 6-1 or 7-0 showing against the Padres from here on out. If we do that and play decently enough the rest of the way, who knows what could happen.
But I have almost zero expectations of that happening.
It's okay, pretty soon I'll tuning into MLB audio

I made it about 10 years in my current job before I started dreading it, mostly because of budget cuts and program changes, it is now nothing like the job I signed on for 13 years ago.
The rational part of me has similar fears.
Of course, I’m hoping that if I can hang in for a decade or so, one of the existing high school drama teachers will retire and I can get his spot. This is a great step, but ultimately I would prefer the slight development in skills and maturity that high school students have.

Shanks (1974) More at IMDbPro "
ad feedback
Malcolm Shanks is a sad and lonely man, deaf, mute and living with his cruel sister and her husband, who delight in making him miserable. His only pleasure, it seems, is in making and controlling puppets. Thanks to his skill, he is offered a job as a lab assistant to Dr. Walker, who is working on ways to re-animate dead bodies by instering electrodes at key nerve points and manipulating the bodies as if they were on strings. When the professor suddenly dies one night, Shanks gets the idea to apply their experimental results to a human body, and then to start exacting some revenge. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <

SL (I was bored and someone said we were free falling, so...)
They’re the good boys
Grew up in front of us
In the big leagues
Before our very eyes
Overpaid, sure
only half of ‘em
If you just squint
There’s magic inside
Got a panda
Hitting like a lemur
Wild Kingdom’s
runnin’ ’round the yard
Got a shortstop
Technically speaking
Livin’ easy
Til the going gets hard
And we’re free
Free fallin’….
So July comes
We’re hitting like we’re Yankees
Scoring runs, yes
Even with Matt Cain
But we all fear
Other shoes’ gonna drop soon
Oh Sabean
If you only had a brain
There’s a line drive
Caught by a Hairston
He hits a bloop shot
That lands for a hit
Two to one, them
Insurmountable
So I ask, “Grant,
WTF IS THIS SHIT?”
And we’re free….
Free Fallin’…
Unofficial adoptive father of Grant. That sounds unbelievably awkward.
