New Line UP
Torres RF
Sanchez 2B
Posey 1B
Uribe SS
Burrell LF
Molina C
Sandoval 3B
Rowand CF
Lincecum SP
Things I like: Switching Posey and Sandoval, Burrell instead of Huff (he’s right handed plus he’s one of the best we have at taking walks)
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Huff has hit lefties just fine. Other than where Sandoval is batting, the other bones to pick here( as long as you fucks actually LIKE a LU with your whipping boys in it) would be this:
How do you put two of the slowest men in baseball back to back? And if you ARE going to do that, you HAVE to put your #1 power guy behind them.
Using the same personnel as tonight, though, THIS is the best LU order:
Torres
Sanchez
Sandoval
Burrell
Molina
Uribe
Posey
Rowand
With that said, you can really just throw the names in a hat. As long as Bengie doesn’t come up in the 1 it hardly fucking matters. This looks to be a sweep of the homestand…
Too cute Mike. 2 hours ago, you were haranging EVERYONE who dared timker with the line up. Now its throw the names in a hat, a la Frank Robinson . . .
From the last thread:
No, Mike yer just pissed Bochy went with my lineup.
Pablo obviously knows what’s going on here. It’s not like this is done in a void. I’m sure Bochy talked to him and said he was moving Pablo down due to his struggles.
Or do you think he said, “Sorry Pablo, Unca Chuck in blog-land wants you down in the 7th spot. He’s got a LOT of fans behind him on this, so I’m forced to make the call.”
Right, Mike. If there’s ever been a manager that HASN’T bowed to prevailing sentiment, it’s Bochy.
AND that the move was a temporary one.
I still don’t see where you think I like the entire line up. I commented on the things I liked, that was it. Rowand and Molina are facts of life on this team until they aren’t on it anymore……And I don’t have a major problem with putting two slow guys next to each other. I have a BIG problem with putting a super slow guy in front of a fast guy but that’s not happening tonight. Of course, that’s almost impossible to do unless you bat Benjie 1st and Torres 2nd…..
I’m out for most of the game, I’ll check in as “Craig” from the iPhone later……
The guy who, according to Chucklefuck is the dumbest motherfucker on earth, agrees with Chuck on where Panda should hit..
twin you like to live in this world where “if you criticize Bochy you must hate every move he ever makes”. That’s bullshit. If he makes a good move I support it. I don’t back myself into a corner like you do where I’m forced to support a group (“Polly” or “Doomer” for example) no matter what until the end of time. And that has nothign to do with waffling, i state my opinion and live with the consequences. Sometime I’m going to like what Bochy does, more often I don’t. Tonight I liked Panda/Posey flip flopping (I’m fairly certain I suggested it here sometime in the last 3 days but i don’t have time to search for it I have to bounce) and I like Burrell playing against the lefty. It’s not the end of the world for me to agree with something Bochy does but I base my support off my own opinions and then go from there. It’s always got to be black or white to you and it simply isn’t…….
You fucks dispute every LU every day. My beef is deeper than that. More profound. It has substance. A philosophy.. you DON’T FUCK WITH YOUR BEST HITTER. And I’ll tell you right now that a guy who has hit at least .330 at evey level for over two fucking years IS their best hitter.
And don’t tell me about “my world”, fuckhead. EVER.
Bruce Bochy is the special guest coming up on Chronicle Live (5 PM CSNBA).
Maybe he’ll have some answers as to tonight’s lineup.
Flavor: You are one of many who run around like prissy hens with their heads cut off everytime the team gets shut out or hits a losing streak. Heads gotta roll every week or two in “YOUR WORLD”. So please with the bullshit about good ole even headed Flavoro. You’re a fucking alarmist, you spent half the spring doomin’ it up.
I gotta go. rage on gentlemen
GO GIANTS
Thanks for the kind words and thoughts, Mr Hunt.
“More profound and has substance”. In the end its still just baseball, skippy.
insert gay-ass winky face here . . . .
Hyuk . . .
Mke, like I said 3 hours ago, I’m not advocating putting Panda in the 7 hole for 3 months. Just to put him down there for a couple-3 games. Bochy fucking SAID he would do it. He DID it. BFD.
When Bonds was the best hitter, Bochy FUCKED with him when he was dogging it. Panda isn’t dogging it, but he’s obviously struggling. 2 games in the 7 hole won’t fuck with his psyche. And hey, maybe it’ll help. THAT’S the reasoning behind it.
Like you said, pull the fucking names out of a hat and the hitters will hit. There IS precedent for moving him down for a couple games.
Not profound enough? Wahhh!!!!!!!!
Here’s our lineup the last time we faced the A’s (5/22). Actually next to last, but that was a Dirty/Whitey combo, not fair to compare. Sure looks a helluva lot better tonight. All bitching and moaning aside.
Aaron Rowand CF
2 Edgar Renteria SS
3 Freddy Sanchez 2B
4 Pablo Sandoval 3B
5 Bengie Molina C
6 Aubrey Huff 1B
7 Andres Torres RF
8 Matt Downs DH
9 John Bowker LF
Matt Cain
And that was with the fucking DH.
Don’t be botherin’ yerself with profundities, Chuckles. You just keep Mr. Johnson under control when Buster bats. Really, I hate to think of how you boys are gonna handle it when Posey has a slump.
Anyway, Lincecum needs a big effort tonight or it’s officially time to worry. 50 fast balls with ZERO swings and misses is not a good thing ( his last start)… it’s way early for him to be turning into the “crafty veteran”… wait, we can move him down to the #4 starter, that’ll do it…
Fuck, not the way I wanted this game to lead off. Better not lose. That’s all I’m gonna say.
You don’t run on Jesus!
Two fucking free passes courtesy of Mr. Molina. Block the goddamn ball Bengie!
Cost us a fucking run.
Damn that Posey’s defense at 1B.
To be consistent, we do need to mention Buster’s first pitch non-productive horseshit AB in the 3 hole…
Oh, the agony .. . . .
Buster could walk across water, and you’d bitch that you got accidentally splashed in the face. Jesus..
Fuck! Goddamn another DP. This shit is getting mighty fucking redundant. Fuck this.
Good for you, Mike. Dog us ad nauseum for bat-to-bat bullshit, and then do it yourself.
What the hell happened top of te 1st?
I hate that big-nosed cocksucker Mark Ellis. Piece of shit. And fuck Ray Fosse while I’m at it. Can’t stand that no good bastard either.
Fuck it, I hate all the goddamn A’s.
You’re getting your own medicine, smile and swallow.
You didn;t give Pablo props for being patient in the 7 hole, Mike.
Tit fior tat, mofo . . .
What the G’s 65th DP?
Nice play by Juan. Gotta score this time. This stretch of empty frames vs Oakland has got to be messing’ with their heads. They’re probably thinking, “now what? what do we have to do?”
They’re probably almost as frustrated as I am.
Nice grab by Rowand, but Barton smoked that one. Nice play by Uribe too, saved a run.
Gosh, enjoy the game, guys. Duke it out later.
ya Burrell
Pat the BAT
Yeah Burrell! So that’s what we’ve been missing against this fuckin’ team.
The BAT!!!
Pat the Bat! Now who didn’t want him in the lineup tonight? Oh yeah, they guy you hates Jesus.
Pat the Bat laying out some wood!! Nice 3 iron.
Hopefully this opens the floodgates . . .
Shit, Chuck. I’d settle for a constant heavy drizzle vs. these fucks.
I’m most impressed with Uribe’s patience at the plate this year.Fuck doesn’t he have a career high in walks for a season already?
“You didn;t give Pablo props for being patient in the 7 hole, Mike” Show me it has shit to do with the 7 hole and I will.
.”Pat the Bat! Now who didn’t want him in the lineup tonight? Oh yeah, they guy you hates Jesus.” You talkin’ to ME? I had him im in the LU EVERY day, fuckwad.
“Here is their best LU tonight, tomorrow, the next day, and every day thereafter (with Rent out)
Torres RF
Sanchez 2B
Sandoval 3B
Huff 1B
Uribe SS
Posey C
Burrell LF
Rowand CF
Landon Powell has been jerked up and down all fucking year…so now he gets called up so he can face Lincecum go 0-4 and strike out all night. What a change up.
Gio sure throws a lot of slop…lay off that shit and make him throw a strike.
Pablo, escuchame!
“I had him im in the LU EVERY day, fuckwad.”
That still doesn’t negate the fact that you’re a “Jesus basher.”
“Jesus Saves….Gretzky rebounds and scores.” 🙂
That’s 2 swing thru K’s on Powell.He’s gonna wish he went on bereavement leave after tonight.
After that last AB, he should be excommunicated himself. Jesus Christ.
I like twinfan’s lineup a lot, although it’s a bit of a cop out. The million dollar question is what’s the best lineup when Renteria does return from the DL?
Torres(CF)
Sanchez(2B)
Sandoval(1B)
Huff(RF)
Uribe(3B)
Posey(C)
Burrell(LF)
Renteria(SS)
Cain(P)
You know, Uribe should try playing first instead of Pablo in their best hitting LU. He might be as good as him there and he’s not as good a 3B.
So far, so good with Burrell. Keeping my fingers crossed playing him in LF doesn’t bite them in the arse.
Molina might have something to say about the Posey ordination.
“although it’s a bit of a cop out. The million dollar question is what’s the best lineup when Renteria does return from the DL?” Well, I’ve covered that. I can’t make your dinner, do every possible LU, and change your diapers… all in one post. It’s simple and it’s not: Uribe plays second, SS, and third. Obviously, the batting order is different everyday then…
Where’s the love for the Juan-Gone home run? Shit. Nice shot Uribe!
And Buster will have a coronation, not be ordained.
Best news of the evening. Vintage Timmy through seven. One walk.
Torres shoulda scored, he fucked up. Better hope Jesus saves him.
Just read through the posts for the day – some pent up fuckwadness happening across the board. I thought the point of the blog is to voice an opinion, AS A FAN, nothing more nothing less. So you have different opinion? So be it, counter it, it does not make you an idiot. Opinions will change based on the mood or the moment…..live with it, it’s human nature. And yes, even the mighty TF wavers from time to time.
Who cares? They’re merely discussion points which is why this blog was created (at least I think, right Flav?). The Giants are winning, Timmy is groovin, and Posey is flashing the glove (and arm) at first. Add in a couple big flies and hey, the world is returning to its proper axis.
Ahh, the perversity of baseball. Load the front end of the lineup to score some runs and the stinger migrates to the tail. We’ll take those two Taters from two of the five slowest runners in the league. Hope there’s many more to come. Molina is actually up to 16 RBIs now and its only the 11th of June.
A triple for Jesus!
This is a whole nother team compared with that three days of embarrassment over in Oakland. Sanchez is rockin. Burrell is rollin and Jesus is savin.
Now is a good time to get Posey behind the dish with Timmy still out there…
Angels are smothering the LaBumbos 8-1. Lady Billingsley’s bloomers got a rip in em. Timmy’s been dealing. Giants bats are blossoming. Bet the Dogs can feel the heavy breathing on their necks.
Don’t be playing the Great Conciliator, Gringo Fuck. You were/are the numero uno shit disturber. “The Giants are winning, Timmy is groovin, and Posey is flashing the glove ..” is to PUKE coming from you. When anyone has been THAT “polly”, you go doomerfuck. Bug off, asswipe…
Fucking gold glover at first we have. Who is that cat?
Obviously, GringoFuck’s thorazine prescription just got filled..
Timmy needs to keep his head in the game at ALL times. Jesus. The great stop from Buster went for not.
Fucking Fosse, “Jack Cust showing his speed down the line, beats it.” Douche bag.
Why was that a hit and not an error on Lincecum? It’s fucking ridiculous. Is he toking between innings?
You choose to only highlight my negative comments (and/or rather, anything that doesn’t support your opinion). I think you you look for reasons to stir shit up especially since my two strongest negative opinions center on your two ‘shit don’t stink’ guys in Bochy in Ishi.
We’ll see, I predicted 88 wins (sounds real doomer there fuckwad) despite Bochy.
No prescription refill, just an in-between inning bowl with Timmy.
Damn, nice triple by Posey. What a brilliant idea by Bochy to move him to the 3 hole. Pablo even took a walk in the 7 hole.
Learning patience already.
Worked nicely all around, I’d say.
“We’ll see, I predicted 88 wins (sounds real doomer there fuckwad) despite Bochy.” Let’s see it.
What do you think is in the ‘rosin’ bag, Stu?
Wow. Affledt isn’t fooling anyone these days.
Man! Thought i was a long, lanky dude, but i must look like Pablo compared with Oakland’s lefty Blevins. Dude is rated at 6’6″ at 178 pounds. Spose he can dodge raindrops?
“Wow. Affledt isn’t fooling anyone these days.” That’s why he’s in w/ the 4 run lead..
I don’t know if this was “vintage” Timmy tonight, but it’s another big step back toward the amazing stuff he had in April. A couple of swing through FBs tonight one high hard one against the subbing catcher and one against the LF (whose name I’m not even gonna look up). I didn’t notice any others. But all of his pitches were working. Of course, he needs to improve his D — he has a 1B over there maiking good feeds to him on tight right side plays.
Speaking of D. Nice play that time by Nate! In for his D and he delivers.
Didn’t we just draft a kid with the last name of Rosin? Where’s Bob Walk when ya need ’em for a good chuckle.
Well, 1 for 2 is not good for a fielder, Xoot.
