Good point. We should play our speediest guys (Burriss, Pagan, Blanco, etc) and have them bunt for hits every AB

Is Gillaspie now the Dodger Third Baseman?

We wish.

Still beats those guys trying to hit his stuff.

That's not a bad way to go.

How many ABs do you think it will take before Juan figures it out? Will Mattingly, Ellis or Kershaw have to tell him?

They should mix it up too, try some down the 1B line

I'm guessing Ellis will figure it out well before Mattingly - that guy is a dolt.

Solid Kuip today on woeful #SFGiants in LA: "I wanted to change the channel. As Mike asked between innings: 'What else is on?'"

I fell asleep on the couch when it was 4-1. Best semi-conscious decision I made all night.

 

[calsnowskier]

I watched the error, then the semi-error, then the walk, then the TV turn off.

From Grant at MCC today:

There isn't an answer, either. It's not like I have the magic alignment in a password-protected spreadsheet that I'm keeping to myself. The Giants have a roster filled with poor-to-average fielders, and a lot of them are fielding out of position. Sandoval being out makes a difference. Freddy Sanchez being out makes a difference. Swapping out Andres Torres for Angel Pagan makes a difference, as does swapping out Schierholtz for Pill.

Gentlemen …

takes off sunglasses

… it all adds up to mittfuckery. Complete and total mittfuckery.

I heart Grant. I may start stalking him while Susac is on the DL.

Mittfuckery. Awesomey accurate verbiage.

I like Grant's closing :

I'll leave with an anecdote. When I was playing Little League {...} I took my first grounder at third, and because I had a wild streak, I lollipopped the throw over the first. The shortstop was a short, chirpy bastard, and he started in on my noodle arm. It wasn't playful banter; it was genuine disgust. So during the next round, I took my ground and fired the ball as hard as I could to first. I threw pretty hard for a 12-year-old, and that particular throw was a perfect strike.

The chirpy little twerp shut up immediately. It was glorious. I won the third-base job.

I think the moral of the story is that someone needs to make fun of Conor Gillaspie and his noodle arm. Like, do it in a mean-spirited, nasty kind of way. That way, the next time he gets a grounder, he'll throw it really, really hard because he'll want to shut everyone up.

I think the other moral of the story is that during that season, I made about 25 errors at third base because I sucked at defense and so do the Giants.
