GDT 6/13 NASA2 @ Giants

Actually Rowand was doing pretty well but got hurt, Torres stepped in and the rest was a ring.

Same thing happened with Wellenmeyer getting hurt, Bum comes up.

I said this in 2011, injuries are usually the main story of success or failure over a long season. In 2010 the injuries we had HELPED us. In 2011, not so much.

So far in 2012 we've stayed pretty lucky on injuries, with Panda the only major one and we didn't miss a beat thanks to Melky.

The Beard says "fuck you."

That's not exactly true. Sure Torres played some when Rowand was out in April, but he didn't completely take over as the everyday CF until Rowand flamed out in May well after his injury.

Anyway I still think Blanco/Torres is an interesting comparison and I hope it plays out the same way.

I did forget him but it feels like, with him being out all year, more like he got traded or dropped, not hurt. The 2012 Giants simply didn't have him on the team at all.

And maybe it's another addition by subtraction? Casilla has done every bit as good as closer (better? less torture?). Yes that creates a hole up the chain we are trying to fill with Edlefsen/Loux/Kontos, but can we be sure we'd have as much success with Casilla setting up and Wilson closing?

Also, my boy Brian would never say that to me. Apparently that's tzill's job.

Wow. With our offense that's probably game. Bad call by ref and Bochy tossed?

Wrong thread. And in baseball, they are called "umpires", not refs.

It's been a year, now. Time to clean up a bit. If anyone still wants this stickied, just let Stokes or me know.

I think it's time to let this thread go. The WS threads, though...unsticky those at your own peril...
