GDT Fathers @ Champs 7/5

[Robotech]

That's a weird promotion, the 9 months after baby thing...

That's not fair to the people who were already pregnant when the Giants won the WS.

Cains now given up all 4 runs with two outs. Nice hanger Cainer.

Cain is horrible with two outs.

 

[gp956]

Possible replacements this season:

- Ronny Paulino
- Ramon Hernandez
- Yorvit Torrealba

I would have done the Casilla for Torrealbla deal. Wasn't the holdup next year's money? Although there might have been something more than that.... Sabean does not players who talk too much.

 

[gp956]

man, not trying to be the second guesser, but Panda just worked the count full to a guy who threw 25+ pitches.

Fleming pretty much called Torres an idiot for going.

 

[gp956]

Time for Nate to do some damage.

Fleming pretty much called Torres an idiot for going.

The problem was that he hesitated. He makes it if he would have trusted his instincts right away.

Question: Are you allowed to blow up the pitcher in that situation?

While idiot is not the word I would have chosen, it's hard to disagree that the decision was a bad one.

that's what I like about Fleming - he's not afraid to talk down a Giants player when he makes a questionable move.

 

[Robotech]

Man, Mike Adams is automatic.

jeez...

Have I mentioned how much I HATE this team?

 

[gp956]

Looks like Nate plugged the hole down and in, and opened one up high and over the plate.

Qualls looks like a big buffalo of a guy - I don't think Torres would be doing much blowing up

 

[Stokes1931]

For al the talk of Cain's lack of run support, he was given two leads tonight, and gave them both back with poor pitching.

I hate losing to the Padres. (Disclaimer: if the score remains as is, I know we get to face Bell. Perhaps the Padres' all-star pitcher can pitch like the last two of the Giants' all-star pitchers and surrender a bunch of hits and the lead.)

the PAAAdres right? Because sometimes the Giants make me feel the same way

Yeah, Flem pointed that out. And, yes, if anyone is blocking the plate you can do some damage (or they have the rep for blocking the plate). Although, there isn't much a little guy like Torres can do against Qualls - he's like 6'5" 240.

You might be right, but the advantage is always to the guy who is moving and Torres is pretty well-built. With amount of speed Torres has, he could put a lot of force on a hit. Probably too much risk for injury, though. I asked not because I thought Torres should have opted for that, but because I am not sure what the rule is on that kind of play. I know you can blow up a catcher, but can you blow up a non-catcher on a play at the plate?

Tejada at 2nd hasn't really hurt the Giants so far

 

[TheSaboteur]

Was that retaliation for the ball spike?

 

[SFAnthem]

i know..take it to the other board, right?
