GDT - Rockies @ Giants 8/30/10

What about Daniel Cabrera?

Never seen him hit, but he must have one huge loop in his swing. (0-for-21 career, 19 strikeouts)

Ouch, it just reminded me of Sanchez last year. Similar numbers for a while.

Sanchez having his best game of 2010 on the mound. We gotta win this one.

I'm gonna be playing poker with him at a charity event in October.

Cool. The stories I could tell about that guy......

I think the Pads may disagree with that, even though they did beat him in that game...

7 pitch inning by Durty!!!

First of his career.

Cool. The stories I could tell about that guy......

I was at his wedding...

Cool. The stories I could tell about that guy......

You know him?

He's had some alcohol issues right?

Nice one Sanchez:

I had to run to the store real quick and missed the bunt attempt, but this is hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing.

 

[ColinCoby]

I was at his wedding...

Nice. How did that happen?

 

[SFGRTB]

Cool. The stories I could tell about that guy......

I've got a few as well. Great guy and hilarious.

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice. How did that happen?

He got married at an A's game in the late 80s...

Which is better: this, or the girl falling off the ball? VERY tough call.

Thrill is not my fave because his playing ability (although he was a stud Giant).

His attitude and personality and defense and post Card fight interview all set the table for him being my fave for life. I can not imagine anyone replacing him.

Bonds was clearly the best player I saw play. No one will likely ever replace him in that seat.

But we are not talking best player. We are talking favorite player.

Will was my favorite until Bonds came around.... I guess I'm a whore.

I knew some of the bat boys in his era.

 

[SFGRTB]

That was ugly.

I love that she's wearing her hat upside down.

That is a GREAT question! I have no idea.

RE: the lousy hitting pitchers discussion. Found these quotes from Jason Bergmann
(6-for-89, .067 BA).




"I was facing John Smoltz in 2007. They made me take the first pitch for strike one. Then I swung at two sliders -- or splitters. I can't tell you what they were.

"All I know is, I saw the ball for one second, I didn't see it the next second and I swung over it twice. I walked back to the bench and said to [St. Claire], 'There's no amount of batting practice I could take to prepare me for that.'"

High leverage situation here:
