good game.

Going into the season, i was not all that confident Vogelsong would be able to pitch at the same level as last year, but he's pitching just as good. Good to see him finally get a win.

 

[msgkings322]

Time for your Pill, Mr. Kershaw.

Outstanding. Rep.

 

[msgkings322]

Up to Vogelsong now. The offense did all it can do.

Good foreshadowing. Rep.

 

[msgkings322]

Didn't you just fucking KNOW Vogey wouldn't have a shutdown inning....fuck this game is hard to stomach.

I was busy so couldn't post, but I was so nervous about this game because we had a small lead early, I couldn't even check the thread or the scores. Too nervewracking. Didn't even look until late and even then just the score not the game details.

What a turnaround. Baseball is weird.

Giants tonight with RISP, 0 for 1

1 lousy runner in scoring position?!?

What I expected vs Kershaw. The fact we got 2 runs was a miracle.

Sounds like the program they have at DeAnza (I work in Cupertino) it's a great idea.

I used to work in Cupertino, at the old Tandem Computers facility by Vallco.

LA Time's writer getting on Mattingly for his sac bunts last night:

Players today are as superstitious as they were in the days of Babe Ruth. Pitchers still drill opposing hitters in retaliation if a batter from their team is hit. Rookies continue to be hazed.

Then there's the sacrifice bunt.

There is statistical research indicating the tactic is counterproductive, but teams continue to use it. Teams such as the Dodgers.

The one situation where "statistical research" indicates a sac bunt is warranted is when you are playing for one run and a player is at 2B with zero outs. If you are going to criticize Mattingly's decision making last night, you should focus on the specifics of each situation, since the statistical evidence angle is not helping your case.

Further, it only makes sense if you've got a player who hits below .250 (IIRC there was a FanGraphs article to that effect). So, basically, the 8 hole hitter or the pitcher.

Or, most of the 2011 Giants.

Kubrick is awesome. That movie had such phenomenal casting. Every character was perfect.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was directed by Milos Forman

Oopsy





But agreed, Kubrick is awesome.

D'Oh !!! You are correct. I misread a Bing extract. Kubrick did "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson (and also Scatman Crothers).

So, yes, my original post still stands as separate but retardedly unrelated sentences.
