I think you guys should have Aaron Rowand walk over to the Cards dugout
and call Chris Carpenter a whiny little bitch.
It’d both remove Rowand from your team (and the land of the living), and cause the Cards to stop playing like sleep walking zombies.

It was great because
At disneyland, when there is a quake all the rides auto shut down and brakes engage on every ride. We were in line for the Matterhorn, and there was a woman there from Kansas.
She was FREAKING OUT. Apparently her kids were on the Matterhorn when the quake hit and her children where not answering their phones. IN THE GIANT CONCRETE MOUNTAIN. The cast members told her that if they were in the mountain, the brakes engaged, all the cameras in the ride showed everyone fine, but they would not be down quickly if they were up high as the cast members have to walk the track and escort them all down.
As the cast member walks away, she frantically started dialing again.
I could not stop laughing at her.
There was also a guy from Europe who apparently had never experienced an earthquake before, did not understand why everything was shut down, and had to be explained the concept of an Earthquake by another cast member.

the retrofits are patches to keep slabs of concrete from dropping out completely. Bridges like San Mateo and Dumbarton could be undriveable in the next big one, but they won’t flatten cars like 880 did. and we still have the same old Bay Bridge – the upper deck won’t drop into the lower deck next time.
Sorry, these things take decades to really change….
Well, I mean, I understand there would be damage and I didn’t mean to imply that there wouldn’t be. But there wouldn’t be the kind of scary, life-threatening damage we saw the last time around.

Yes.
He needs to bring that K rate down if he’s to be as effective going forwards. He hits the ball pretty hard and has good speed, but he’s not going to sustain a 350+ babip.
Really?
He’s at about 600 ABs of a .350 BABIP since he reinvented himself. It might just be sustainable with his speed.

Man, I added or took out some words in there.
I started to type ‘is still a pretty small sample size’, then didn’t manage to delete the ‘a’
Also, strikeouts have no bearing on BABIP.

Outs are not just outs.
High K rate means fewer balls in play, which means your value is more highly tied to variance in your BABIP.
He walks a good bit, has some pop, plays great defense, and he is our only really threat on the basepaths.
Also, it depends on how he Ks. Does he take it or is he out swinging. I am too lazy to check the percentages.
not at all as long as hes hitting rbi singles

And no, I don’t think Miles is any good, for the record.

So, throwing the mop up guys out there 2 runs down was a bad idea?
You don’t say. Ah well. Carpenter tomorrow. Hopefully Timmy doesn’t find all his missing velocity against us as well.
depends upon how well-rested the second-tier of StL relievers were
The money lies in the RBIs

Yesterday was an off day.
They’ve been pretty well rested lately, with us not..winning much. Our mop-up type guys have been the ones being used.
Seriously
MadBum throwing 94-95 bodes very well for the Giants of the future.

16-10 or something.
Who knows. Just assume the Padres won, and check tomorrow. Gives you something to smile about to start your day, if they ‘did’ lose.

I don't think we'll be getting a PGT for a while

Blerg.
Good win for the Giants, and all that. I just need to go for a bit of a walk, clear my head, and let rationality prevail. Dodgers better fucking beat the Reds, tonight.
I’ll be back and poke my head in the post-game thread.
sorry that we can't join you in rooting for the Dodgers
Good luck with that walk, though.
