GDT World Champs at Sandy Eggo, 7/14

Those numbers seem to me to be about as reliable as Nate's. i.e., not very.

But who knows? Maybe he's finally getting used to starting a lot more?

The average and slg seem right to me... it's the OBP that is surprisingly high.

Whitey outhitting Huff :sad:

My grandma is outhitting Huff.

Can't say I like the Padres' throwback uni's tonight. They looked awful in the 70's, even by 70's standards. They have NOT improved with age.

Remember when they made Tony Gwynn look fat?

Hey gp, remember last year when you started projecting how many wins the Giants would have and IIRC you were exactly spot on? When did you start doing that? Got a projection for this year, or do the injuries mess it up?

 

[Stokes1931]

Why do Giants' pitchers seem to struggle so much with two out and no one on? (Padres scored in that situation tonight in the 3rd)

More importantly, why does it feel like there are two outs and an 0-2 count whenever the Giants begin an inning?

 

[gp956]

Just like a wife/girlfriend

You mean the Wife and the Girlfriend.

Dude, the observer's EYES made him look fat.

The 70s unis were so bad everywhere...Astros...White Sox (actually early 80s was the worst for those two)...those gay Pirate hats...

I started with about two games left in the season as I recall.

Solid fundamentals, Torres

Because Maddux is dealing tonight. Oh, and also because of Scott Cousins.

False modesty, lame. C'mon, bring the knowledge!

Giants uni's sucked dirt too. Orange pullovers.....

I take it back, the 70's uniforms were cool compared to the ones tonight.

 

[msgkings322]

Jesus. Not our night to be the '27 Yankees.

I can dig it!

I think I started with about 30-45 games left. I just used Pythagorean to project whatever games remained and added that to the existing record, then compared those results to the pecota projections from baseball prospectus.

Here comes high cheese. Lay off :panda:

We expect the same this year from the board genius.
