It is fast getting to the stage where I would actually hate to see him taking playing time away from Nate or Belt.

Except now Nate is hurt...

:sick:

Boch: "For the next 2-3 days, I see Cabrera leading off..."

Ugghhhhhh.

I was, however, a little annoyed by Beltran telling Amy G he wasn't 100% three separate times in his 1:30sec interview.

Yeah, no shit dumdum (him not you)

"Hi. I'm Carlos Beltranny. I've been hurt lately! No, Seriously, I am!"

 

[SunsGiantsNiners]

Just got back home, Beltran went DEEP YAY!! Hopefully more to come and a big win to stay 2 off the pace.

Yeah, "just letting you know what a gamer I am".

I know he made a stoopid play in the OF but he did hit a dong. And we all know we need more dongs from this team.

 

[msgkings322]

Anyone notice we have to kinda start worrying about Colorado again?

 

[msgkings322]

Anyone else notice what Coco did tonight? Man, it's a pipe dream, but squint and try to envision our lineup, healthy, with Coco leading off...

Ugh. Too painful...

Not really hating on Carlos just really enjoying Belt (and Nate) and am yet to develop any man love for CB

 

[Badger8843]

Beltran is better then both of those guys so why wouldnt he start, even if hes not 100%, also the Rocks are 8.5 games back, there dead, end of story

 

[tzill]

You ever seen a baby giraffe run? Or an adult giraffe for that matter? Maybe not the best nickname but it makes me laugh just thinking about it

 

[the_broom]

Yeah, "just letting you know what a gamer I am".

Yep..it's all about "I'm playing through my injuries" and "don't let my play stop you from spending huge money on me next year"....

Fuck 'em...

Beltran is going to need to either go off the rest of the way or get some huge hits in the playoffs when the team gets there.

As much as I like his production...I also don't see him signing next year. What I expect is that Sabean, Bochy and the rest of management sits down and says "we won't be decimated by injuries and suckage next year" and the offense will be fine. Then, they'll go out and pick up some other aging vet who made the All Star team back in the days of Atarti video games...

I was out, and unable to watch the game, but I was in the car, listening to the Maxi's radio broadcast during Timmeh's 7th inning AB.

I was thinking at the time that it actually made sense to bat him for a few reasons...

1) Who do we have on the bench that can hit better than a pitcher anyway?
2) who do we have in the pen right now that can throw better than an exhausted Timmeh?

I believe the answer to both of those questions is "nobody". Soon the surface, I liked the move, even at the time.

However, I have occurred to me since, that maybe something else was at play. What if Timmeh basically told Noggin, "fuck off, I am not leaving this game. I WILL get this win tonight."

Reminds me of the Phillie game when he stranded the leadoff hitter at 3rd and screamed at him "STAY THERE" when he left the mound after striking out the 3rd out.

THAT is a situation where the win stat is NOT BS.

Great post, and your example may be true. Another reason we typists have to realize the manager has 100x more insight into what's going on. If Timmy told Bochy "I got this", kudos to Noggin for correctly applying something other than numbers to the situation.

That said, on point 1) Tim is really struggling with the bat. We did have Chez3 and others on the bench. And Tim's 'hit' was let's face it a lucky bounce, helped by a defense thinking bunt.
And on point 2): FYWW is depleted but still has tons of talent, as Casilla proved last night. Man he looked like a closer (for that SSS).

Thanks for the reminder on the bolded part. That was so awesome. I guess he didn't have fear and panic in his eyes that day.

I didn't mind the move but to be honest it was tied to the current circumstances. We were up 2-1 and had Tim on the mound. I was more than willing to gamble.

If the score was reversed or tied I think I would have had to go to the bench. We had the benifit of a one run lead and Tim on the mound going into the 8th. I'll take that everytime Tim tells me can can go another inning.

Yeah, his performance was "acceptable."
