GDT 7.25.14 Back Home for the Best Rivalry in Baseball

[calsnowskier]

This is not serious, and it is apples and oranges, but....

Concerning Duffy, here are two players' stats at AA

Player A .313/.383/.599/.982

Player B .338/.405/.448/.853

Player A, of course, is Puig, who jumped from AA to the Dodgers. Player B is Duffy. Puig had/has more power, and more buzz coming up. But Duffy has hit everywhere he has been.

I am not advocating bringing up Duffy. Yet. But with the injuries and struggles of our 2b contingent, I would not rule it out. The PTB's may not have wanted to consider it until next season, but an ideal world does not exist.

He is a SS by nature, but so was EA, who has played mostly 2B with the Giants. Can't be that hard to switch for a good IF, can it? I was an outfielder (and a poor one), so I don't understand the IF skills.

Not sure if you caught my post earlier tonight...

Duffy started at 2B for the Squirrels tonight. First start EVER for him at 2B (professionally).

Dogs 1-4 tonight, 7-12

Giants 1-4 tonight, 1-7

Odds Duffy gets a look this season?

20%??

Are thy greater or less than the odds we pick up Zobrist/Murphy/someone?

I caught it. Thanks. Sounds like something is in the works, perhaps.

The numbers are inverse, I think.

So who has to wear this one to save the pen? Can't be the usual guy, Petit.

 

[Stokes1931]

Would this be a guy to go after?

Now a reliever, formerly a starter. A lefty.

Kontos

Duffy went 1-4 in that game with a double.

That double broke up a no-no by Warwick Saupold, and no other Squirrels had any hits in the game.

No idea how his D was, but he at least did not commit any errors.

Most triples is a game by one team: 9 Baltimore (v Cleveland) 1894

 

[MarcoPolo]

Apples and oranges.

In 2012, Giants won 68 of 90 games the scored first, and 26 of 72 games the did not score first.

Only way for % to add up to 1.000, they'd have to score first in 81 games and second in 81 games.

DOH! For some bizarre reason I was reading it as W-L, whih is why I thought it should add up to 1.000.

Thx for waking me up. (Now if only the Giants' bats will wake up!)

 

[Stokes1931]

Wow! When is the last time a team had four triples in a game?

And there's my man, Guppy, chasing them all down.



What is it about the Giants this year that they play so well on the road and like such crap at home? They used to own AT&T.

28-25 at home, soon to be 28-26

29-20 on the road

edit- thanks for the history, phlap!

 

[Stokes1931]

The inning would have been MUCH different if Timmah hadn't given up a hit to the .150 hitting pitched.

 

[calsnowskier]

If Hactor is in fact put on the 7-day, we will have to DFA another player, OR 60-day someone (I figure Cain would be the only option, and that ain't happening).

Wo would get DFA'd is time?

AnVil?
Perez?
Cordier?

Wow. We can't DFA any of those guys. Maybe 60 Scutaro and just shut him down for the year?

 

[Stokes1931]

That Abreu sure is a keeper. GIDP. Well done! Should have let him keep walking.

I'd 60-day Scoots. He is not coming back this season.

 

[Stokes1931]

Team is up 6-0, and Gordon steals 2nd.

 

[Stokes1931]

Three triples in a game by Puig?!?!

I hate to say it, but that is damn impressive

Guppy wearing concrete shoes out there?

 

[1phlapdown]

Team is up 6-0, and Gordon steals 2nd.

Then another 3B

Game notes:

Greinke is FILTHY.

Puig is a stone cold beast.

That's all.
