So much easier to DL him. It’s like last year with Aurilia with all those bogus hammy pulls in August. We just have to hang in there ten more days and we can bring in utility infielders galore.

Hawpe is a better MLB hitter than Belt would be right now, I think
For all the talk of his “bad” year, Hawpe is hitting .255/.343/.432
Career line of .280/.374/.492
You can construct some purdy lineups with Hawpe at 1B.

Huff RF
Burrell LF
Hawpe 1B
Sandoval 3B
Uribe SS
Sanchez/Fontenot 2B
Pitcher
Huh?
Why can’t we play Hawpe in right and Huff at first? I was under the impression that Hawpe was an OF. Today is the 1st I’ve heard that he can play 1st…
He never struck me as that bad.
Of course, I have generally ignored any mention of those pesky purple people, especially during this time of year. I guess I just never noticed. Either way, the Giants won’t make a move for him, since he has basically no ML experience at 1B regardless of his prowess, or lack of, in the OF.
Originally a first baseman
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all

He’s one of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball. I mean, we can just keep adding players like that, but eventually, it’s going to backfire.

"There was hatred. And they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants won. Woo hoo!" - Mike Krukow
Nah. I like Ishi’s glove off the bench. Plus he’s done well as a PH. I actually wouldn’t mind DFA’ing Nate. He’s not really any good.
A "glove off the bench" who only plays one position is really kinda useless
And his PH numbers are SSS – he’s just not a very good hitter, period.
"Baseball is a game filled with moments of anticipation. The ones who can keep their calm while heading in to a storm can make their mark on a season. And what happens in those moments is what turns mere men… in to Giants."

Defensive replacement outfielders are much more useful than defensive replacement 1B's
And Nate is fast enough to be a useful pinch runner too: Ishi really isn’t.
"Baseball is a game filled with moments of anticipation. The ones who can keep their calm while heading in to a storm can make their mark on a season. And what happens in those moments is what turns mere men… in to Giants."

What about Hawpe being almost useless unless he’s a DH?
"There was hatred. And they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants won. Woo hoo!" - Mike Krukow
He hits well enough to stash at 1B
"Baseball is a game filled with moments of anticipation. The ones who can keep their calm while heading in to a storm can make their mark on a season. And what happens in those moments is what turns mere men… in to Giants."

Not this year, and we don’t know how bad he’ll be at 1B. Not to mention we’re moving Huff back to the OF.
"There was hatred. And they had some hatred. And then there was some more hatred. And then the Giants won. Woo hoo!" - Mike Krukow
Huff RF + Hawpe 1B is probably roughly equivalent defensively to Huff 1B + Guillen RF
And Hawpe will outhit Guillen, I think.
And he’s having a “bad” year at .255/.343/.432 with a BABIP lower than career averages. He’s a better hitter than Guillen and no more of a defensive liability. What’s the problem?
"Baseball is a game filled with moments of anticipation. The ones who can keep their calm while heading in to a storm can make their mark on a season. And what happens in those moments is what turns mere men… in to Giants."
My Son
Hawpe would be a good pickup
Familiar with the NL West too. Is Ramon Ramirez out of options? I could see the Giants sending down a reliever to make room for Hawpe.
The short-handed pitching staff didn’t work for us very well.

I’m thinking if LaRoche passed through waivers Ishi or Nate would have a pretty good shot. Theyre cheaper and under team control for longer, but I’m not sure any of the non-contending teams have 25 man spots they dont want to use on their own prospects right now.
Thing A
"Correlation between inability to use the reply button and general crappiness of analysis: pretty high." -Sleepy Freud
So the Giants win the claim… but what do they really do?
“Yeah, we’ll give you LouSeal and a carton of garlic fries for him.”
I have a hunch
That even if the Giants were just trying to block Ross, the Marlins might dump him on us.

My Son
Nate sucks as a runner though. Yeah he has good speed, but he’s terrible in steal situations. So unless he needs to go first to third or something, he’s useless all the same. And Rowand can still be a defensive replacement.
Nate's better than Ishi at running

A lineup of:
Torres
Posey
Huff
Burrell
Hawpe
Uribe
Panda
Fontenot/Sanchez
doesn’t look so terrible. Much rather have Hawpe in our lineup than Guillen. We’re going to have shitty corner outfielder regardless of who is out there. Guillen or Hawpe (assuming we acquired him) would be terrible options to have out in RF. Huff isn’t great, but he is at least better than those 2, who are among the worst in all of baseball in the OF.

As with every Giants game in recent years, win or lose . . .
. . . it provided an opportunity to write another page in that ever-growing book How Not to Manage a Major-League Ballclub (Bochy, B.).
A good manager—at anything—is one who puts people into situations that maximize their chances for success; a bad manager, correspondingly, puts them in situations that maximize their chances of failure.
Bumgarner famously is going to have an innings limitation this season. Why, then, even with a one-short bench, was he: 1) left in to hit for himself in the top of the 8th; and 2) left in to start the bottom of the 8th inning in a reasonably un-close game? (Incidentally, why also was Romo first out of the pen in a not-close game when he had pitched recently?)

I heard on the telecast tonight that Lincecum had figured something
out with his delivery and was looking forward to this next start.
He has said it is his mechanics that are responsible for the loss of velocity and I’d tend to believe him over some speculation by Kawakami.
Was Kawakami writing that Bumgarner’s drop in velocity was from over-use as well?
Madison said on post game that he's got his fastball back

Mike Fontenot is starting out of position at shortstop today, and no joke, this is the backup plan: Aubrey Huff to third base and Pablo Sandoval to short. Huff has been taking grounders at third, just in case.
Is Freddy hurt? He has played some SS. I cannot belive Pablo would be the best option. I think i’d rather have Schierholtz that Pablo.

from Baggs
Have you noticed that Tony Pena Jr. is back to playing shortstop at Triple-A Fresno? He was the Royals’ opening-day shortstop for two seasons, but he just didn’t hit near enough to remain an everyday player. So the Giants signed him as a pitcher and his early results were encouraging.
I’m not sure if this is an organizational need or what, but Pena is getting time at shortstop now. I’m told he’s probably not an option to come up when rosters expand, since he’s not on the 40-man roster. But it’s worth keeping tabs on him.

OT (but cuteness and Giants related)
So, apparently my son is trying out a new batting stance. I have never seen him do this until today. He watches Giants games with me, but I didn’t know he watched this closely.
Right after I took this pic, he swung at a slider low and away.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?

And which section would you say is the best to sit in there?

I like the view from the 300s. Just like sadison bummedgarner, I usually sit in 325-327 or 304-307 ‘cause the tickets are cheaper.
If you’re going to a day game, I would avoid sitting in the left field side if you hate the heat and sun.
I think I’m gonna regret sitting at 327 again during Wednesday’s game ’cause I hated sitting there last time when the sun was out but the tickets were cheap on StubHub. :\
I personally like the view more from the right field side, though. Have fun!

Poor Tony
Manager Tony La Russa didn’t like umpire Gary Cederstrom’s strike zone in the ninth inning, when Brian Wilson allowed two hits to bring the tying run to the plate but got Matt Holliday to ground out to end it.
“Major League Baseball can go ahead and fine me, but there were several strikes that a guy as good as Brian Wilson got that he doesn’t need,” La Russa said. “Who knows how that inning could have gone? That’s just not right.”
The zone was low all freaking night.
It was not just for BWeezy.

Whoa! How come I did not hear about this?
Some background: In 2004, when the couple was married, they signed separate marital property agreements for California and Massachusetts. Both sides agreed on the particulars. Then Frank apparently slipped in a clause saying he retained sole ownership if the two divorced, a clause Jamie claims to know nothing about.
Jamie’s attorney’s filed a motion yesterday to admit the undoctored marital property agreement as evidence in the upcoming divorce trial, and things are not looking good for Frank, mainly because he and one of his lawyers, Lawrence Silverstein, have “admitted that there were, in fact, two versions of the document,” though they chalk up the discrepancies to “typographical” and “clerical” errors. It is one hell of a typo that mistakenly deeds an entire freaking baseball team to someone else.

by howtheyscored on Aug 21, 2010 12:17 AM PDT up reply actions
Rivera’s WAR is 50% higher than Wagner’s though, in only a couple more years (because of injury and when they were called up). That’s kind of a big deal.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
"You all are just blinded to reality by your hatred of Armando just as the Bonds haters are." -grm
Yeah, the 250-odd extra innings he’s pitched probably don’t account for quite that big of a WAR difference. It’s kind of amazing, though, because their numbers are similar in a lot of ways. One thing that sticks out to me is that Rivera allows a lot less home runs. Like… a whole lot. That probably has something to do with it.

The Giants have 114 homeruns so far this year. They had 122 total last year.
Also, from http://espn.go.com/mlb/homeruns:
Andres Torres is 4th in the NL in lead-off homeruns. (sidenote: Fred Lewis is 2nd in AL)
Huff and Uribe are tied for 2nd in the NL with most homeruns in an 0-2 count.

MadBum's got the swagger
Bumgarner batted in the second after singles by Fontenot and Freddy Sanchez. The Cardinals, expecting a bunt, executed the wheel play. Bumgarner said, “I’ve got your wheel play” and smacked an RBI single off the plate into center field.
