BoB, seriously?

This team has been bad since June. Sabean wasn't going to give up top specs in an already weak farm system if the team wasn't playing well enough to earn help. Sabean recognized this team wasn't good enough to "go for it", so he saved his assets and stood pat.

They didn't "go for it" because we don't have the pieces to do that. There is no reason to give up future pieces for this delusional "today is for champions" idea of yours.

This team wasn't good enough. Pagan missed too much time, we have a hole at 2B, SS (Crawford doesn't bring it consistently enough), LF and the back end of the rotation has questions. One move wasn't going to fix that

We have had this discussion with him in the past. SYM only has one speed, and that is full-throttle. That strategy does not work in anything, not even video game baseball.

Blanco = worthless as a hitter no matter where he is in the lineup. He is not a fly ball hitter, and yet he continues to try and hit home runs.

He has a HR this year, so obviously you are mistaken.

 

[Stokes1931]

Nice situational hitting there by the Susser.

He just earned himself a session with the knight.

Play teh kids!

Right you are! How of me.

These KC hitters are taking GREAT approaches to the plate.

At least Susser brought that same approach up there, and he got himself an RBI out of it.

 

[Stokes1931]

Royals have some team speed, and aren't afraid to us it.

Giants have allowed the 4th most SB in baseball. Pitchers seem incapable of holding runners on.

Our team speed? Meh.

Who's their hitting coach?

(Sorry, Cal, I edited your post when I should have quoted it.)

 

[Stokes1931]

Lincecum has faced 10 batters

4 hits

3 walks

4 SB

4 runs and counting

Good grief.

45 pitches with no outs in the 2nd

 

[Stokes1931]

Maybe the strategy is to keep pitching and having KC be patient until the rain comes to cancel the game. Yeah, that's it! Brilliant!

 

[Stokes1931]

Perez with the FPOM with two runners in scoring position. Maybe we should trade for him. He's evidently out kind of hitter.

 

[Stokes1931]

Royal's pitcher has had control issues, walking over 4 per game. Wouldn't know it facing the Giants' lineup.

11 pitch inning.

Pagan grounds out on a ball way outside.

Pence flies out on ball four.

Posey SPOM.

We are winning in SDIs, 1-1 to 0-1...

Is it raining hard yet? Thunder and lighning?

 

[Stokes1931]

Raul Ibanez is still in baseball? Check his ID to make sure he is not really Julio Franco.

 

[Stokes1931]

6 stolen bases today

How much of that is on Timmah, and how much of that is on Susser?

I guess KC will keep running until they get caught.

 

[Stokes1931]

Good night. 7-1

This team appears to be done, cooked.

Disheartening to see them play such crappy baseball. No character at all with these clowns. Getting swept by the Royals. No problem. We'll just get back to AT&T where we haven't won a series since May. Yeah, that will fix things. Sheesh.

 

[Stokes1931]

KC has a double and two homers, 4 walks, 8 hits, 7 runs, 6 stolen bases.

The Giants' JV team has three singles, NO WALKS, and barely any balls hit safely out of the infield. Anybody know how to work a count on this team?

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Well....at least this is rock bottom. Can't go lower

I think this team has set a record this year for hitting most "rock bottoms" in a 2-month period.
