GDT: Timmy-Picker-Upper @ Nats - 7/4-12

[gp956]

Why the fuck don't the Giants learn? Desmond scorched timmy last night on breaking stuff, one a low sharp curve ball, and now Bum tries to get him on a low breaking ball.

He's got a swing that can cover that pitch, obviously. Why not try hard and up?

 

[gp956]

His OBP still sucks, and probably always will. He's fine at the bottom of the order.

Jesus, you're a ray of sunshine in the morning.

To be fair, it is easy to be dour after one of Timmy's starts.

Dour is one thing, but to extrapolate from nothing is bullshit. Craw has a good eye, anyone can see that, so it's not a stretch to say his OBP will come up considerably as he matures. His minor league career shows that once he settles in after a jump his OBP soars.

What is that sound supposed to be after the HR?

 

[Stokes1931]

Crap, Bum. The only place this guy hits it is right down the middle.

 

[gp956]

Need to get back to AT&T.

 

[gp956]

Also need Posey to launch a few in this ballpark.

Yeah, if the Nats can hit homers here, so can the Giants' "sluggers".

We've not done well against teams that wear red this season: Reds, Texas, Angels, Nats.

Hmmmm...and all those teams are really good.......Padres should switch their colors.

 

[gp956]

This ballpark is playing the opposite of AT&T. Maybe don't lay stuff on the outside corner to right handers?

 

[Stokes1931]

I woke up early and got errands done so I could watch THIS!?!?

Ugh!

 

[Stokes1931]

Shyte. Bum throwing BP.

 

[gp956]

Giants advance scouts suck.

 

[gp956]

I had the Giants going 3-3 on this road trip.....gonna have to pick up two in Pittsburgh.

 

[gp956]

Bochy throwing Burriss a bone by having him start in his hometown. Nice gesture.

 

[gp956]

Need to score at least a couple in this inning.

 

[gp956]

Clown route by DeRosa.......

 

[gp956]

Sandy Alderson really lit a fire under Panda.

I wonder if the Giants know/care that the leader in the NL West on the 4th of July hasn’t won the division in 4 of the past 5 years? Strategic losses?
