The Orioles Can’t Lose EVERY Game.
Everyone saw the same thing last night, we hit bullets at people, they hit balls in between or by our guys. That’s baseball, we are on the other end of games like that all the time.
For the people freaking out about Lasorda sitting next to Neukom: He’s there as a representative of Milken’s group that raises a TON of $$$ for prostate cancer research. They go around all Summer from stadium to stadium doing the same thing: Milken gets his half inning in the booth, Lasorda hangs out in the owners box. I swear to God, who could possibly be AGAINST raising money for cancer research? If you’re going to spaz out about Lasorda could you get equally burned up about Milken being invited into the booth for a half inning? Or do you support a guy who was convicted of racketeering and fraud? These two guys are spending their personal time raising billions of dollars for cancer research, Lasorda can come back and coach the goddamn team if the money they raise helps us find a cure for cancer. Jesus…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
three games with the Jays and a Monday travel day back into the NL. That first game with the stros marks the start of 20 straight games into the break. We will see how Botchy plays the hot hand AND gets these guys some rest.
Go Giants
At least Lincecum reached his quota for wild pitches today
I liked Bochy’s call of putting on the butcher boy. Worked same as a bunt. Tim misses, and Rowand gets thrown out, you’re still up 2-0 vs O’s. Timmy finds a hole and the game coulda been fini. Good call.
It was mostly, if not all on Pablo, come on. He had the play in front of him. Uribe rightly thought the ball was going to be caught by the way the OFer was circling under it, so he was going back to tag. Kelly was watcihing the play and telling him to get back to tag. From the CF camera, you could tell Pablo was just gazing at the OFer, and paid little if no attention to Uribe. Blaming Uribe at all is like blaming the guy stopped at a red light for getting rear ended…
…or not
Uh, snarkk, I was commenting on my previous post, not your
You were saying Ted? Is it just me, or has Bengie just about lost the ability to block balls on a consistent basis? Seems like too many are going by these days…
Fuck. Did I jinx him?
Another fucking WP. Two words: JESUS SAVES
Hilarious. A walk, a hit, two wild pitches and he strikes the side out
It’s been really nice to see Sanchez bring more to the team then a batting average and a thong
Snarkk: It was mostly, not all. Never said he wasn’t mostly at fault. But I’m not going to get into the percentages with you. You’re not a reasonable person when you have one of your little prejudices going. I see no one mentioned that the runt should have slid, BTW. He would have been safe AND not hurt himself.
I was pretty nervous about Sanchez on that play at the plate in the first inning. I don’t know if Flannery could have held him at third.
Sanchez seems to be playing through whatever pain he felt in his foot.
Timmy’s burying the curve too much at about 60′, but Bengie’s gotta do better to keep the ball in front of him, too…
Nice rope by Freddy.But still a catchable ball.That’s 2 today for the Orioles OF looking shaky.
Sure, bases were empty but Molina can use the practice
WTF? I was about to respond to Xoot. How many “authors” are there here? This is bullshit. Xoot: I have never used anything about my health to garner some advantage or to “badger”. Fuck you with that. It has been with what I thought was the “blessing” of the others here that I have used this forum to talk about it. Just as you did with what I now sincerely doubt is any truth about your “kid”..
I’m not prejudiced against Panda, if that’s what you mean. If anything, like most I probably give him the benefit of the doubt too much. Whatever, in the scheme of things the play didn’t mean much. I continue to luv Huff n Puff. The guy was working it to hit to the right side to move Franchez to 3rd, and he got it done down 2 strikes. Barring some off the cliff drop in his play in the second half, I can see him coming back next year on a 1 + 1, for sure…
Zumie….No i think it was a head up play by Sanchez.He was right on Torres’s ass reading that play all the way.And he would of made it with a head first slide to the outside of the bag.
WTF, Nate?!
Motherless son of a fuck. Nate throws to the wrong base AGAIN. Fuck him! He’s out.
This shit is getting too dicey. Those early mistakes might bite us big time.
Huh
Yeah, Timmy!
Nice recovery. But he seems to have the same virus some of the relievers have. Extremely inconsistent location. Maybe that was a turning point..
Timmy strikes out the side again. Great stuff after a shaking start.Holding them to 1 run there shows his true grit.
Nate is getting too much in luv with his arm. Dumbass throw thru to third. Timmy saved him from possible embarrassment…
What the hell, Timmy? 9 K’s in 4 IP while struggling. He’s being very un-dude…
His true grit. His sands of Iwo Jima. His shootist. His Brannigan
Bengie 1-pitch out; Nate 3-pitches. Do these guys even pay attention the previous 1/2 inning?
Fucking morons the both of ’em.
I’d be happy if the Orioles took Bengie and a sack of money from Giants ownership with them on their way out of town.
After that, I guess the should credit Rowand with a “good AB.” Jesus.
DMD, you are so right. A big problem I have with this squad is not reading the situation. As usual, when the SF pitcher just goes through a tough inning, his hitters follow up by getting out as fast as possible. Huh? Unless they ignored coaching that told them to take some pitches, I just don’t get it. And Rohand pops to left on a 1-2 pitch that could’ve hit him in the arm if he didn’t swing. Sigh…
Wooooo boy . . .
Timmy gets all of 10 seconds between innings. . . .
Fuck Bengie. Heof all people should know it’s important to give his pitcher some time. . .
WTF.
Shit. These guys are waiting on the breaking balls.
Thanks, Balt . . .
Timmy Timmy Timmy. Got to get this out.
Just gonna say the exact thing Chuck. They’re sitting on the off-speed stuff. Has his FB lost that much luster?
Walk him!!
Uh . . . woooo boy . . .
Timmy’s playing with fire today.
Now Timmy’s swinging at the first pitch! Jeez!
I’m going to say something bordering on blashphemous here. But, I think they need to skip Timmy a start. He’s obviously not pitching poorly, he’s striking guys out. But something just isn’t right. He seems to be laboring, even in the early innings. He has to really hump it up to even get to a 91 mph heater. Skip him a start, let him rest, work on things. Maybe he’s just a little arm weary. I’m concerned…
99 pitches through five innings ain’t gonna get the job done. Also being had by the likes of Julio Lugo and Cesar Izturis is kinda sad. Here i thought Timmy was back. C’mon gang, this is friggen BALTIMORE.
snarkk, I think you’ve got a point there. I think the Giants need to take Timmy’s pops on the road and give Timmy a rest to get his groove back.
“I’m going to say something bordering on blashphemous here. But, I think they need to skip Timmy a start”…
You mean, like uh, “Panda”the Dude?
That’s not gonna go over well at all with “The Apologists”. It’s Bengie’s fault, all of it..
Better hope he doesn’t miss a start because of what just happened. Hope he’ OK.
If not, 49er season will be starting sooner than expected. Hail Mary…
Kinda funny that Timmy swung at the first pitch.
Jesus. their almost went the Franchise on that smash. Last inning for sure! That almost turned into a fuck face.
Apparently the Baltimore fucking Orioles are MUCH better than advertised.
Spalsh for the Huffster!
Huff-n-Puff! SPLASH!
Wooo hoo!!!!!! Got all of that!!!
Huffster goes splash!
Atta kid Aubrey!!
ALRIGHT HUFF DADDY SPLASH HIT!!!!!!! And yes Tim can still get a win!
BACK-TO-BACK JACKS!
De ja va all over again . . .
Back to back again!!!!! Lovin that!!!
Sabean gets lucky again.
How about a trifecta Panda!
Way to go Uribe
Back to back, baby!!
Here comes #3 . . .
Uh, no . . .
Affledt had a nice effort last time out. Let’s hope he continues . . .
Bengie a double
Gotta PR for Bengie here…
The problem Rowand has is that the left side of the infield is swung so far over to the left for him. There ain’t much of a hole over there anymore to hit through.
Luv that Huff. And Uribe. Jints are nowhere without those two…
Admit it- when Affeldt wound up to throw to firstbase, you were holding your breath. (grin)
Noooooooooooooo!!
Didja see the question? Which Giant will revert to form?
Heh heh. Had me on edge, zuma . . .
Dodgers put Billingsley on the DL…groin injury.
Perfect situation for Timmy now. He got sideswiped on the pitching shoulder by that batted ball. Gotta miss a start to let the bruise heal. Meanwhile, Martinez stays up and hope they can sneak a win when he throws again, and Wellemeyer comes off DL, or you bring up Bum…
Fucking can’t tell who is hurting the Jints more today…Lugo or Nate! WTF.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…………………
