I was so busy whining about sloppy baserunning and the 12-man pitching staff this morning that I forgot to mention Adrian Gonzalez‘s spectacular 3-5 double play in Tuesday’s contest. It was a thing of beauty.
You know what else is a thing of beauty? A win. How ’bout we get one of those tonight…
46 ,, yeah can you believe that …
nice bunt .. has to be good for Josh to make it to 2nd
I am watching my second game of the year, first in my home.
50: It sends the message, “hey, that ball was beneath my pants, it must have been a ball.”
53: He should wear hot pants.
I’m not loving this ump’s strike zone.
Maybe if Bard puts that ball on the right side of the base…
QERA through 3…
Germano: 6.78
Sanchez: 2.52
#55: I’m not loving this series against a pretty bad team.
Joyner is not one of the answers to the trivia question.
#59: What about Reddmon?
59: He didn’t win a batting title?
A hit!
Even if it was a cheap one…
that graphic there just disproves the theory that basehits win ballgames huh?
58: We rarely seem to be able to put together a good series against a crappy team.
See: last x years of interleague play against the Mariners.
61: Correct. One top 10 finish, and that was fifth.
That was for the 1997 Padres, who could really hit but couldn’t pitch. The team that had a losing record between two division-winning seasons.
When did the Giants acquire Cy Young?
62. If they don’t get any more, they will take that one back.
Towers on the Peavy dirty hand issue and Torre’s complaining:
“It’ll be Peavy and [Brad] Penny Friday, and they can check him out all they want.”
58, 64: Our worst three starters are going against their three best. Cain, Lincecum, and Sanchez are good pitchers. We dominated the first game and went to extra innings in the second. We’re scoreless in the third. This is far from a crappy series thus far.
QERA through 4…
Germano: 6.43
Sanchez: 1.75
OT: I really dislike this years team jackets. What’s up with the ’80′s collar and the rubber patch?
#70: Agreed.
71: Does QERA account for GB%?
74: K%, BB% and GB%.
There’s a nice big fat E!!!!
damn, the centerfielders just blow tonight
What a drop.
You’d think Bard knows he’s not going to get anything to hit and yet there he is swinging at two pitches out of the zone to open the PA.
Worst AB of the season? Maybe…
what a horrible at bat. boy do the Pads need a day off
How do you strike out on three pitches without seeing one strike?
It’s because Bard knows they’re not going to score if he doesn’t do something there. We’ve got the pitcher and Giles up next and both of them are worthless against the lefty.
70: I thought we agreed at some point that pragmatism had no place on discussion boards!
Germano’s putting up a better fight…
quite an at bat for Germano
Mark Grant with a ducksnort reference…
Mud ” get a little ducksnort over the pitchers head”
And the ump takes the bat out of Germano’s hand on a ball out of the zone.
OG has to step up now with two runners in scoring position.
This crew of umpires has been lousy.
weak pop to left was my second choice after weak grounder to second
CRAP!!!!!
wow…we just cannot hit… :-/
At least Germano has been pitching well
Well, I can’t take this any more. G’night.
Matt and Mudcat were surprised that “these two center fielders” both made errors tonight. I’m not.
wow…a stolen base…theres something that doesn’t happen often
he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it he caught it
Edmonds finally makes a catch. But, a runner 90′ from the plate doesn’t bode well.
