why the fuck couldn't you do that uggla?

 

[Heathbar012]

I like how Flemming said Tejada could have used a rehab assignment. Tejada also could have used a DFA.

Somebody Rep this for me, please.

Nice pitching Timmy.

 

[Freeport 22]

Under normal circumstances, I completely agree, and gp's stats support the conventional wisdom. This line-up is just awful, and I am of the opinion that, in this case, it would have been a necessary risk. Not that it matters because he struck out anyway, but that is neither here nor there. If Freddie Sanchez were up there, I would certainly say swing away, and he would've gotten the same bogus strike call and struck out, too. Or maybe he would've gotten the original bunt down. Either way, I'd like to see some risks, especially with Timmy on the mound. Get him a run!

I understand where you're coming from Heath , The Giants offense is struggling and you want to shake things up

Somebody Rep this for me, please.

Got it.

 

[uclabruin094]

You really get to see how good a pitcher is when he gets in a jam. Great job there by Timmy

 

[Slimpikins]

Rowand is hitting .306 vs LHP and only .212 vs RHP

Rowand always plays vs LHP ,

I would still rather see Belt , 6-20 vs LHP , .300

Oh wow, that is a pretty big difference for Rowand. Thanks for the info.

 

[gp956]

Kuip loves him some Nate.

done

woulda been sooner if i wasn't still

 

[Heathbar012]

Tito is the guy to ask.

Oh yeah, but he would definitely say bunt, if the game has a strange start time. Shadows and all that.

 

[ColinCoby]

The ATL announcers said that strike 3 on Cabrera was "All over the strikezone"...

Braves announcers being homers? Shocker.

 

[SFAnthem]

Big Time Timmy Jim makes an appearance and says "no runs for you"

 

[uclabruin094]

Oh wow, that is a pretty big difference for Rowand. Thanks for the info.

Rowand: Overpaid player out of his prime

Belt: Developing player who can become a cornerstone for this team at 1B if he gets consistent playing time.

I'll take Belt.

 

[Heathbar012]

Got it.

Favor returned, but I guess got Anthem too recently to thank him for his rep displacement.

 

[ugafan6612]

Whoever your RF is saved that run...and of course Timmeh

 

[Epic Voidfield]

Hey whats up everyone. Mostly lurked on the ESPN board and never posted until NolanShit ruined it all. Good to see some of the old posters here on the GDT.

 

[CameronFrye]

During that last half inning when Prado was at-bat, he hit a ball to shallow center field. Kuiper, in his normal delivery, says, "Rowand breaks back, then comes in and has plenty of time to get there."

I know this is nothing new, but that is what I hate the most about Rowand. Not only is he a shitty hitter, but the guy has NEVER been able to read the ball off the bat. His saving grace is that he has always been fast enough to make up for his inability to see the ball.

I REALLY want Sabean to cut Zito and Rowand during the offseason. Just give them both their money and tell them to get lost.

 

[ugafan6612]

really...

 

[Heathbar012]

I gotta go win a slow pitch softball championship, fellas. Will some runs for me. Have a great night!

 

[ColinCoby]

Al agrees

Brilliant.

Rep.
