4/19 GDT Fathers @ Champs

[calsnowskier]

He's been a good value. Year-before-last he was super solid at the plate and filled in admirably when we traded Adrian and Rizzo. No complaints.

He was with us when we were WORSE than the Padres usually are, and he still could not make our squad because of his D. And that was back when we had the 53 year old Rich Aurilia as our regular 1B.

Looks like a Tuesday night Petco crowd there. What's with all the empty seats? And this is a sell-out? Allot of fans musta come dressed as chairs.

Apparently the security at the game is stupid-tight...

Well, you know Bochy's "play the vet" mentality had a lot to do with that. Aurilia, Ishikawa, and Garko had the AtBats that year. IIRC, Guzman had less than 25 for the whole year, even tho he was yoyo'd up and down during the season.

That was before Boch earned his life-time pass from me, and I was calling him out on his treatment of the kids a lot back then.

But I 100% agreed with Guzman not playing. It was literally painful watching him attempt to catch balls thrown to him from whatever scrub was throwing them from SS, 3B an 2B at the time (Castillo, Bocock, Ortiz, Durham, and I have no idea who else).

If there was ever a hitter born to be a DH, it was Guzman.

And the giving up opponents' home runs continues.

In 20-odd ABs? 20-odd innings?

10 K's for MadBum. But score tied with that HR from Headley.

Giants 0-6 with RISP tonight.

What an absolute disaster of a sequence on that fake bunt.

I just turned the game on. Who is the idiot that ran into the tag?

Belt

1st and 2nd and no out to 1st and two out.

 

[msgkings322]

So is it officially time to look at the Rockies (!) as a threat, with their 12-4 start? That would really be a 'surprise' team if they contend.

Reminds me a bit of the 8-1 Dodger start last year which made me sit up and take notice....

 

[Stokes1931]

If Bum was not going to stay in, why hit for him? If the Giants had scored, wouldn't he have been in line to get the win anyway? Puzzling.

Looking at the replay, dumb move by Belt.

 

[Stokes1931]

Blanco gets it to fall leading off the 9th.

 

[Stokes1931]

Torres with a sub-par bunt.

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

That was a brutal bunt

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

At least he stole 2nd

 

[Stokes1931]

Milk!
