Giants/Cardinals Series Preview
by Grant Brisbee on Apr 8, 2011 7:00 AM PDT
Email
PrintThe Cardinals were supposed to be contenders this season, and they still may be a serious factor in the NL Central, but injuries to Adam Wainwright and Matt Holliday have certainly hurt their chances. Allow me to present a conspiracy theory. I propose that Holliday ate Wainwright’s ulnar collateral ligament, which then settled in Holliday’s appendix. Because appendices aren’t part of the digestive tract, Holliday’s appendix exploded, and now the Cardinals are keeping the whole thing quiet.
With that settled, let’s move on to preview the Cardinals. Wait, first, allow me to rant one more time about MLB Advanced Media. I’m a simple man. I like watching bearded shortstops exchange punches with brash rednecks. I will pay money to relive these moments if they are not available for free. This used to be a video of Will Clark fighting with Jose Oquendo and Ozzie Smith on second base. It was removed due to a copyright claim. Now no one can see it. You can’t buy it.
There are, like, two guys with a VHS copy of this fight. The first has it sandwiched between copies of "Short Circuit 2" and "Mannequin" that were taped when HBO had a free preview weekend. The tape is slowly eroding, and it isn’t doing anyone any good. The second guy had the sense to digitize it and share it with the world because he is a benevolent technowizard. His heroic efforts were denied, and he doesn’t feel like doing it again.
You know what you made me do, MLB? You made me watch this video of a stand-up comic who used Candy Maldonado’s name as a punch line. It came up in a video search, and those two minutes aren’t coming back. I understand that it will take a while to digitize, index, and upload 80,000 games, so I know it’s unrealistic to expect every game in the history of televised baseball on demand. But before you tattle to YouTube, at least make a distinction between the stuff that you already offer for sale and the esoterica that only nerds care about. A fight from the ‘80s isn’t going to be found on some Mel Allen-narrated DVD you’re peddling in the MLB Store.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, LOOK AT THE GRAINY PICTURE OF THE FIGHT! DOESN’T IT LOOK AWESOME? NOW PICTURE CANDY MALDONADO JUMPING INTO THE PILE ELBOW FIRST. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING THIS 10-YEAR-OLD BOY HAD EVER WATCHED. PLEASE LET ME RELIVE THIS FORMATIVE MOMENT IN MY LIFE. I WILL PAY MONEY.
I will pay money.
Oh, uh, the preview. The Cardinals have started the season 2-4, just like the Giants. They’ve been padred already this season, just like the Giants. Seems like we have a lot in common, and we’d probably get along great. The video of the fight wouldn’t be to rile us up -- I just want to see it again.
Hitter to watch:
Albert Pujols is hitting .182/.240/.318. This is the beginning of a swift decline. The beginning of the end. What, he’s going to go nuts against the Giants and raise his numbers up to his career averages in the span of, like, six at-bats? I’d like to see that. Dude’s a .182 hitter.
Pitcher to watch
Miguel Batista is still in organized baseball. In fact, he’s pitching high-leverage innings as a reliever for the Cardinals. I wonder if when the Cardinals faced the Padres, the San Diego bullpen circled Batista on motorcycles and taunted him for not being good enough to make the Padres’ low-A team.
Prediction
No one goes one-flap down after a home run, even though they really should.

Just because, back then I so badly wanted to beat that team. ‘87 still stung. And it was so awesome that they did it at home. All the people just going nuts. The fact that Lofton hit the GWRBI. And Miller’s call. Man, it was awesome. I will be very pleased if we sweep them.
Starting the season with Dodgers, Padres, Cardinals is a fantastic crucible so early in the season.

And the Saturday blackout of everything means no baseball nap, surely one of the most tragic losses our nation has ever suffered. In addition to limiting us to one game they ruin the 3rd-6th inning nap with LOUD COMMERCIALS AND BUMPER MUSIC and EXPLOSION SOUNDS and ERIC KARROS.
Really between the Giants and minor league webcasts and, in emergencies, the AAAA’s, it’s hard to justify the expense for me. I ordered a Slingbox ripoff so I could watch games on the road but I’m not expecting much as reviews for those things seem to be pretty negative (except for the KNBR promos, LOL Flem).

Kickham where it hurts
by say hey nation on Apr 8, 2011 8:44 AM PDT up reply actions
It’s based on playing time by position. For example, you’ve got players like Suzuki and Werth who are primarily RFs only. Zobrist, on the other hand, has played all over the diamond (2B, SS, 1B, CF, LF, RF). Thus, Zobrist’s PT at ‘tougher’ positions like SS and 2B make his positional adjustment higher.

Listening to Dan Patrick this morning
He made the comment that Omar Vizquel is a just as good (if not better) fielder as Ozzie Smith.
For some reason, I can’t compare the two in my head. But since Omar was a good Giant and Smith was on the Cardinals. I will concur with Patrick.

Stone Province update
Ishikawa sighting: Travis Ishikawa took batting practice in the indoor cage before the game, but Grizzlies manager Steve Decker said it would be “a couple of days” before he is activated. Ishikawa was outrighted to Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday after clearing waivers and spent 10 days away from baseball. He will play mostly first base but also DH and left field, Decker said.

Yesterday, he sent me a text that said “Who is Dr Stankus???”

Interesting he would be more interested in who Dr. Stankus is rather than who Viliphied is, given the quote.

I'm not sure how the online leagues work
everyone has to have the same version, right? If so, what version do you play?

Doesn’t qualify as stalking. I knew a guy who was actually stalked. As in, she sat in the bushes; she showed up not-so-mysteriously in places he had just left, usually interrogating his friends about his activities and whereabouts; delivered a set of knives to his house, each one decorated with a red ribbon. Then she accused him of rape.
to me, that’s stalking. What’s happening to you sounds like not taking a hint.

Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
This morning, I walked past a guy dressed in Cardinal gear while on my way to the office. I barely noticed him. I was too busy staring at the “Kiss the Ring” wrap on the Examiner and enjoying the being in the middle of a sea of orange. Forget the Cardinals, this series isn’t about them.
Let’s go celebrate.
Adopted Giant - Carlos "Don't Call Me Wallaby" Willoughby
I feel like the focus being on the ceremonies could lead to some bad losses,
which a 2-4 team hoping to contend really can’t afford in the early going.
Maybe with Sanchez
it will keep him from thinking too much about pitching. He seems to benefit from distraction.
Three double-doubles, 2 orders of fries and a chocolate/strawberry shake.
You’re completely right but I think it’s unavoidable. The next two days are something that both the players and fans have been waiting for all their lives.

Thou dost thy office fairly. Turn thee back.
And tell thy king I do not seek him now;
But could be willing to march on to Calais
Without impeachment: for, to say the sooth,
Though ‘tis no wisdom to confess so much
Unto an enemy of craft and vantage,
My people are with sickness much enfeebled,
My numbers lessened, and those few I have
Almost no better than so many French;
Who when they were in health, I tell thee, herald,
I thought upon one pair of English legs
Did march three Frenchmen. Yet, forgive me, God,
That I do brag thus! This your air of France
Hath blown that vice in me: I must repent.
Go therefore, tell thy master here I am;
My ransom is this frail and worthless trunk,
My army but a weak and sickly guard;
Yet, God before, tell him we will come on,
Though France himself and such another neighbour
Stand in our way. There’s for thy labour, Montjoy.
Go bid thy master well advise himself:
If we may pass, we will; if we be hinder’d,
We shall your tawny ground with your red blood
Discolour: and so Montjoy, fare you well.
The sum of all our answer is but this:
We would not seek a battle, as we are;
Nor, as we are, we say we will not shun it:
So tell your master.
Can I just summarize that for him, Hank?

If Jon ever cuts his BB/9 down to ~2 like Randy did
He can win some Cy Youngs.

Dursh nerf darsh narf. Poop.
RJ was like Sanchy when he was young, tho. It’s possible.
Three double-doubles, 2 orders of fries and a chocolate/strawberry shake.
Anything is possible
Most of the time pitchers don’t just stop walking that many people, but I guess it could happen.
Gigante. Campeón. Andrés Torres.
Dursh nerf darsh narf. Poop.
Except that RJ had velocity to spare, so he could dial it back a bit to where he could control his pitches and still be more than effective. I’m not sure Sanchez is in that position. His wildness doesn’t stem from throwing the ball 100 miles per hour.

Granted, it will mean that the Yankees will have to win some games, still how hilarious would it be if they signed both AdGone and Crawfore, but still missed the playoffs.

I don’t get the Red Sox love. I mean EVERY SINGLE ESPN DUDE PICKED THEM TO WIN THE AL. They have Beckett and Lackey and Gyorball in their rotation. How is that a good thing?
Yes their offense is very good, but their staff is not, same for the Yankees. I don’t see either team making it to the WS, adn I am not sure that one of them will win the AL East.

This Yankees/Red Sox games is entertaining in a way, but I prefer pitching.
Three double-doubles, 2 orders of fries and a chocolate/strawberry shake.
I’m rooting really hard for Adrian to do well this season and legitimize the NL West in the eyes of the east coast fans.
Oh it was Gonzalez up
I was like “where the fuck is Jeter?”
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
The Red Sox played a huge shift for Gonzalez. There was a mile of space between second and third. I thought Gonzalez went the other way well. Do defenses usually play him like this?
Probably…especially since Hughes can’t get it past 90 MPH

For once it's not chasm..
And I’m sure that most of you given your geography will disagree with me, but I can’t stand listening to teachers bitch, piss, whine and moan about making a decent salary, with unbelievable benefits and getting to retire in their 50’s, while working 8-9 months a year and having absolute job security. I’m not saying it’s the best job in the world, but it isn’t even close to being the worst. The average teacher makes somewhere in the low $40’s or about $10k more than the average American, but that’s before you even get to the benefits, job security, work schedule and pensions. So please, teachers, stop complaining—and more importantly stop complaining to my kids—about how little you make. Don’t like your job, do what the rest of us do, quit and find something else.

you have no idea of how much teachers work, how much of their own money they put into it, how little support they get, how many unpaid hours they put in, how low their pay is for most of their working years, and how much they get shit from jerks like you.

I think the NL West might be the best division in baseball.

No, no, no, no
Everyone knows it’s the AL East, I meant that’s where the Sawx and the Yankees play, how could it not be the best.

Good choice
The AL East has deep pitching too, I mean they’ve got CC and Lester and Matusz and, well, and, okay so no one else comes to mind, but it’s the best.

I mean
The Blue Jays or Rays would compete for first in the NL West. The Orioles would be in the mix too.
Gigante. Campeón. Andrés Torres.
Dursh nerf darsh narf. Poop.
No
But any pitcher in the AL would be better in the NL on the aggregate, if only because 1/9 of the hitters they’d face would be shit.
Gigante. Campeón. Andrés Torres.

So this is 'Chasm right?
