Making a Case For Pat Burrell
Seems like we’ve talked about this before. I love The Bat but it’s hard to ignore the looming presence of Brandon Belt who continues to blast the ball all across the PCL. But when you look at Burrell’s numbers it just doesn’t make sense that he’s the guy who sits down right now. He’s still leading the team in HR’s, he’s 3rd in runs scored and his OPS is still over .800. That’s not a guy who you sit down for a guy who is still a *maybe* at this point in his career. It’s frustrating because our offense needs a kick right now. Mike Fontenot can only carry a team so far (batting him third was a cute little side story, and it’s worked up to this point, but this is all going to end soon, and not in a good way)…..
Basically, The Bat hasn’t done anything to lose his gig and he’s producing at a much greater rate than many hitters earning the same dough (and he’s certainly producing at a better rate of return than MANY players making 10 times what he makes).
I’d love to see Belt get a 2nd go-around. I just don’t see it happening at this point in the season. Maybe after June 1. Now, if only Belt could start taking some games at short stop 🙂
The Flap Fantasy Baseball Standings
(Me and tizzle share the daily gas mask as we drop 3.5 pts each and….OMG!…rarer than a double rainbow, Berra’s Bombers gain the most daily pts of any team with a 2 pt jump in the standings. He’s at 19 pts and about to start picking off teams faster than Arazi picked off horses in the Breeder’s Cup Juvenile low those many years ago)…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
You should check out Secretariat’s Preakness, Flav…
If I gain 10 points in the league, I will just move from 11th to 9th….how did the league get so much tougher this year????
But I am going on one of my runs this week!!!
It’s always tough when I’m in it.
. . . and it will get tougher GH when my team stops pussy footing around with you and Bozo. 🙂
As a guy pointed out over on the Splash, Belt’s Fresno splits suggest some mortal vulnerabilities amid the Achillean achievements. He’ll be back, but it’d be unreasonable to expect Posey impact. Meanwhile, I think Fontenot will move around in the batting order and continue to contribute just fine. Here are the stats the guy on the Splash was reviewiing:
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=&sid=t259&t=p_pbp&pid=474832
I think Pat still gets in there a few times a week…he hits better at ATT than on the road, and has hit all his HRs vs. RHP. Surprised to see Nate get a couple starts vs. Rox, but that 0-4 plus ross heroics probably means way less of that. I think everyone gets a day off except Torres.
I was also surprised Burriss didn’t get a start , with maybe Font playing 3B. Guess he becomes the des PR now. Until he stops raking, I’d leave Font at SS, where he has made some nice plays, tho I’m sure his days of batting third are over. This has got to be the last shot for deRosa…either he can hit and play, somewhere, or he can’t.
Buirrell hasn’t homered since April 18th. He’s driven in 2 runs since that HR.
He’s the opposite of on fire.
Granted, no one is really scalding the ball, but he’s cold as ice.
But is he willing to sacrifice?
Some day he’ll pay the price, I know…
(I’ve seen it before—it happens all the time)
LQTM . . .
BLEEP PAC Coast League stats! I don’t put much stock in minor league ball. Belt has a lot to prove and perhaps he will not be much of a factor this season for the Giants. So what? The Giants have plenty of bats now. Just be patient.
Yeah, the DeRosa deal is getting old. If he can last longer than a week, and get the ball out of the infield, bully for him. But, truth be told, Ford brings more to the table than DeRosa.
DeRosa would be replaced with another infielder. Ford has to supplant Nate.
Send FORD down. I prefer Chevys.
Chris Haft does a good job sizing up Bochy’s dilemma.
http://tinyurl.com/3qubuqs
Torres LF, Rowand CF and Ross RF is not the worst way to start tonight’s game. Move Ross to LF late, if it’s wise to give Torres a short night, and use Schierholtz in RF. That leaves Ford as the final D OF. Burrell can PH. I know Burrell doesn’t like to hit off the bench. He fucked himself out of a job in Tampa as a result, I think. He needs to make an effort to get over that now.
Ford? How does he stay up? They’d have nobody but DeRosa as a reserve middle infieler.
Arazi? I’d run like that too if P Val shoved an 8-ball down my throat at the 1/2 mile pole.
The “mortal vulnerabilities” post is a total crock-read it. He hits worse behind in the count? What a shock! And based on what? 100 AB? 50? No- ELEVEN. Hitting just .250 against lefies! Wow, he’s 3 for 12…stoopid.
As far as Pat, he’ll be battling for playng time whether Belt is up or not. The walks are swell but a middle of the order hitter does have to, well, hit. Oh, wait, Belt is not ready because he’s 2 for 11 behind in count? Pat is 5-34. He’s 2-19 w/RISP. He can’t run and he’s a poor defender. He ONLY has value if he’s driving in runs. Period.
Belt’s hitting in Fresno, twinfan, not SF. Make the adjustment. And don’t just look at the two numbers the guy on the Splash pointed out. Compare his current pace to last year, at the minor league level. There’s consistency — there. Glad to see you aren’t sleeping late. 😉
His numbers are fucking outstanding, and hugely up from those at AAA last year. There is zero way to minimize his terrific numbers. Absurd post.
BLEEP YES!
The two OFers who should play everyday are Torres and Ross. When Belt does come up it should be Brandon and those two. One of Rowand/Burrell/Nate goes bye-bye, the other two grab some pine, meats..
Pine is a brittle wood.
kind of a cool video my buddy just sent me
http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=QNL0iMIMxvk&vq=small
Quick shout to Bozo…just picked up CD from Alan Toussaint, “Bright Mississippi” (the monk tune) with Marc ribot on acoustic guitar, Nicholas Payton on trumpet and don byron on clarinet, recorded a few years ago. Really nice, very uplifting music. didn’t know he still performed and recorded at this time.
” Compare his current pace to last year, at the minor league level.” Uh, he’s hitting .408, his OBP is .537, his OPS is 1.170…do you have a point here?
June 1:
“How about Belt, Sabes?”
“Can’t do it, Boch. Pat has 12 RBI already”
Barring injury, the OF should be Belt, Torres, Ross by EOY..
Belt shoulda been in the OF from day one. I think Huff is still scarred from his outfield experience.
Huff has started 197 games in the OF, that’s fucking stoopid.
Belts numbers in april are more important. He’s not the answer. Absurd to say otherwise.
Maybe, but a lot of guys had crummy aprils. I thought he should have stayed, but maybe it was for the best he went down and now he’ll contribute more than others upon return. Belt could wind up being a pretty complete player. Plays a nice 1B too, better d than Huff, whose shelf life could be limited.
To paraphrase Madden, if Nate rowand and burrell are the answers, then I don’t know what the question is.
Name a rube, a boob and a guy who uses lube.
“He’s not the answer. Absurd to say otherwise.”
I’m comfortable saying that the organization disagrees with that.
Absurd? Right. Wait til next year, eh?
Even with the sweep, the offense isn’t exactly clicking right now. Getting Belt in there at the expense of Burrell is not going to produce a big offensive dropoff, Belt’s defense is better, and he looks to be over his big league jitters.
That’s for Xoot, not you, Mike . . .
Nice of you to weigh in chuckles. How does his comfort in aaa show he’s overcome big league jitters?
Well, he’s been there, hasn’t he, skippy? First time in is overwhelming for a lot of players. Just ask Matt Williams. . . . Or Willie Mays . . .
If Belt had gone down and sucked, well, that would be a different story. ALL he can do at this point is play and learn. If he’s smoking hot down there, then he warrants another look.
He is, so they will . . .
Of course he warrants another look, peahen. As I said first thing this morning, up there in the posts you that went over your head, “He’ll be back, but it’d be unreasonable to expect Posey impact.”
Flav, Great Video.
Ali vs Frazer, greatest fights ever!! IMO
The first and last were epic. The middle one was dreary.
It’s funny, but ballplayers always seem to me to look mature beyond their age in their hats and on the field. Then ESPN puts up mug shots from recent DUIs on their main page, http://espn.go.com/mlb/, and these guys look their age and station: young athletes who may be pretty immature.
Andres cf rowand/burrell lf ross/schier rf. If belt can break thru and earn lf. Ok w me.
But absurd to count on it.
Fuck Rowand/Burrell. Seriously? No, let’s leave the guy who’s smoking hot in AAA and play Burrell. Were you against Posey coming up? LOL.
Burrell has 2 RBI’s in nearly a month. I think Belt can match that output.
Burrell is notorious for going into deep slumbers at times.
This isn’t like Bochy being stuck with Rowand when there was nothing left to put out there to replace him.
Til Torres got rolling, that is . . .
Burrell really replaced Rowand, Chuckles (as I said he would when ALL of you said that Bochy would never sit “Rohand).Torres was aready playing regularly.
No, last season I was in favor of bringing Posey north from ST, chuckles. Do you just shout when you have nothing pertinent to say? With both DeRosa and Torres coming back now, and with Rowand and Fontenot contributing, there’s a surfeit of options. It’ll be interesting to see how Bochy makes the most of it. Somehow adding Belt into the mix, right now, doesn’t seem like the smart thing to do. Eventually, yeah. But Ross wasn’t here until the second half last year; Burrell came along mid season. There’s plenty of tmie for things to shift and to improve. So you go fuck Rowand/Burrell seriously for a few weeks and then check back.
Absurd to count on Belt doing wrse than what Burrell has done lately?
Now THAT’S ludicrous. Belt’s younger and faster

“Belts numbers in april are more important. He’s not the answer. Absurd to say otherwise.”
Plus, counting on DeRosa for anything more than another stint on the DL is gravy. If he can stay in the lineup and get the ball out of the infield, great.
I ain’t holding my breath.
chuckles, I posted the “he’s not the answer” comment from the hospital while I was watching a guy wrap Giants black on a short arm cast. Very nice craftsmanship. At the time, I thought the comment was consistent with my position all day: Belt is good, and has to come back up, but, this year, don’t expect him to be great. Now that I’ve looked things over, I see that I was right. Why don’t you take a few moments, compose a thought or two, and then put on your eye black and souvenir 49er helmet and try again.
Nice backpedal.
Why don’t you blow it out your ass, counsellor?
Your answer is ‘later?’
Good one. You’ll take 2 more months of suck from Rowand/Burrell?
Thank God the Giants don’t think like you. He’ll be up in a couple weeks.
That’s not a back pedal, chuckles. I’m telling you my position. Yes, bring him up later this year. The team in August will be much different than the team right now; all they need to do is stay within striking distance of first place. As usual, you’re creating an argument with yourself as you go along. You look ridiculous with that souvenir 49er helmet on, btw.
Stop fantasizing about what I wear, counsellor.
Stop acting a like a child pretending to be a tough guy in the front of the mirror.
Right. you were wrong about Posey and yer wrong about Belt.
Sorry, skippy. Deal with it.
Since is stashed him on my FL roster Belt better get his ass up here and rake. I’m talking gauranteed 1hr, 3 RBI, 2 runs a day.
The Giants are. Wanna bet? You get paid don’t you?
That was for Xoot, of course.
When are the Giants bringing Belt back, TF? After they trade Rowand, Schierholtz or Burrell?
Burrell/Rowand/Shierholtz… yeah, hard to imagine anyone breaking up that juggernaut
Has anyone else noticed that Fruckie has a higher OPS than Buster?
For shame, Jesus. For shame.
But, But… Buster is fucking perfect…actually anyone ever notice his ass? It’s fatter than Panda’s was last year…He’s hitting .241, Flavor. When should he be going to Fresno?
Giants hit into almost one double play every game (.95) last year, and so far this season, they are on a similar pace (.85). Mr. “Squat-at-bat” has hit into quite a few of those and thank you kindly for the quasi-production while Torres was out, but it’s back to the pine for the $13.5 million dollar man.
Take away Freddy Sanchez and Mike Fontenot and we would be in big heap of trouble. Thank our lucky stars that Ross is back (responsible for all 3 runs Sunday). Hopefully, he can keep it up. Posey and Huff also need to do better than the 35 ribbies and 7 jacks between them. Bochy has done an admirable job of mixing and matching line-ups and will have to continue to do so for the immediate future. Personally, I would like to see Belt up here as soon as possible, i.e., when Sabes/brain trust feels he has learned everything he needs to learn in Triple A.
Meanwhile, all is hunky dory on the good ship Giants . . . Remember, it’s early May and we are only a game or so back from 1st place. Me likee.
That is what needs to be remember, it is May and 1 game back. The hitters have not hit for any streaks so to speak, Bum is starting to pitch like last Aug, Sept, Oct. Relax enjoy the torture that is the Giants offense.
Actually, Aaron has only hit into 1 DP. Leaders are Tejada with 5, Huff 4, Buster 3.
Hey,at least be fair to Rowand. His OPS is better than Huff’s, Posey, Sanchez, Tejada… and he’s been stellar in the field.
You’re right but it’s hard to be fair to Rowand. His reputation precedes him. It’s like, if Dane Cook actually said something funny, would anyone laugh?
After Panda went down, it can be argued that Rowand was the position player MVP. Look at the numbers, factor in his defense, it’s probably NOT arguable. The only contender who played enough would be Fruckie..
the position players have collectively sucked massive pole this entire season. Saying Rohand is the position player MVP is an underwhelming award to say the least…..
Either way, he’ll be back to the bench soon enough. I’d say he makes it through about another 10 days before the bench takes him back…….
.”Saying Rohand is the position player MVP is an underwhelming award to say the least” Don’t disagree…
Fact remains that the flies in the ointment are Huff and Pear Butt. And if I’m betting on who gets most OF time now, It’s Torres/Ross/Rowand…when Aaron does flame out, don’t look for the Bat, it’ll be Belt..
When the Rockies got to SF for this past series, they’d just been whipped by Ian Kennedy. That was his last start. Couple weeks back, he threw a complete game SO against the Phils. Maybe he’s due for a dud. Tonight would be a good time for dormant bats to come alive. Lincecum deserves a few runs.
Kennedy won’t be a pushover tonight. He had one outing in April that ballooned his ERA, but factor that one out, and he’s having an awesome season with his other 6 starts.
Kennedy minus his 1 crappy start: 42IP 31H 10BB 10ER 36K
Sorta like a “Diamondback’s Matt Cain” this year?
Cain: 42IP 39H 12BB 16ER 31K
He deserves a fate better than 3-3, that’s for sure . . .
And we have a new one from twin. Pear Butt.
Didn’t some AAA scout call Buster that?
Could be. I’d never heard it though
Whoops – mea culpa regarding Aaron Rowand and GDP totals . . . You are correct Mike (I got his 2010 totals mixed up with 2011 . . . he had 11 in 2010 and I transposed that figure onto 2011).
Fatso last year hit better than Pear Butt has this year.
Well everybody is hitting better than Tejada this year. Thank Christ he’s not in tonight’s starting lineup.
Torres CF, Sanchez 2B, Fontenot SS, Posey C, Huff 1B, Ross RF, Rowand LF, DeRosa 3B, Lincecum P
Chris Haft thought they might ease Torres back with some LF starts. Maybe his minor league rehab games convinced everyone inside that he’s back to full strength and speed.
De Rosa?
But seriously, how much longer are we gonna bat a 5′ 6” guy in the 3-hole?
This Eddie Gaedel shit is getting old.
Hey!! Don’t downplay Eddie Gaedel!! MLB record holder for career OBP
Winning is getting old?
Waaah!
What a surprise, no Burrell..
A little pre-game test: A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy so much that she fell in love with him right there, but
never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later
she killed her sister..
Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?
She was in favor of signing Tejada?
She was hoping the guy would show up at her sister’s funeral.
But coming from guy who’s watched “Johnny Dangerously” over a 100 times you could already probably guess that I’m psychotic.
We have a psycho…er…winner. That is correct, dennis
She was in favor of signing DeRosa
I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel:
You lousy cork-soakers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes… like yourselves.
Saying things like that will get you deported to Sweden.
My father tried to deported me to Sweden once…once
Not Ford and Rohlinger … Burriss and Rohlinger: http://www.csnbayarea.com/05/10/11/Arizona-vs-Giants—-lineups-Torres-DeRo/l_sfgiants.html?full_args=05/10/11/Arizona-vs-Giants—-lineups-Torres-DeRo/l_sfgiants&blockID=520327&feedID=2796
Freddy Sanchez must be very healthy.
Huh
I like the LU– No Tejada–all good. No Burrell? Whatev, he’s not really hitting much right now anyway. Over the course of the year, you get what you get from The Bat and that would be one of our top OPS guys, maybe our HR leader. But when he’s going cold it’s a good idea to sit him. I’m also growing tired of the Font in the 3rd slot but not enough to go ballistic over it. He can hit there till he stops hitting there. Maybe by then Huff will have started hitting……..
Thay have to be ready for another move. One reserve infielder?
Burrell DFA’ed and they call up Gillaspie . . .
Where’s Pete Happy these days?
I like that Ford is still on the team but it’s a little concerning that he stays up at the expense of a reliable back up for Franchez. I get that DeRosa could slide over there if he goes down, Font could too. But I like Font at SS right now. Leave him there. And I am hoping to like DeRosa at 3rd (at least until that wrist snaps clean off)……..
A little pre-game Flap trivia. Who was Del Mar Dennis referring to in the following post? (Hint: It was during the 2010 regular season)
Hit that motherfuckers sister next time he’s up. And toss the bat up his mother’s ass. I cannot tolerate that shit. Plunk that cocksucker but good.
Prince Fielder?
Can I give another hint?
Want to give it a little more time? Your call Dennis. I’m amazed you remember it.
Alex Smith?
Before you gripe too much about Fontenot, let it be known that on this date 5 years ago our #3 hitter was Mark Sweeney. He was replacing Lance Niekro, who would return the following day. One week earlier it was Todd Greene.
Surprised they shipped off Burriss, not Ford. Maybe his less than stellar D a time or two, and lack of hitting and bunting turned the tide. Anyway, they must either believe DeRosa is healed, or they’re going to play him until / unless his wrist goes south again, which I suggest they do. As I said before, now you gotta play DeRosa like he’s supposed to play — the super utility guy. If he can’t, and goes back to playing one game a week, then in the trainer’s room for 6 games, that is unacceptable, and some LT move should be made with him…
I think I would have guessed Fielder too. And I would have disagreed, I thought that choreographed HR celebration was hilarious. I don’t recall anyone on AZ that got DennIS that pissed off but who knows? DennIS is known to say things in the heat of the moment that might be a skosh away from a reasonable response to a situation 🙂
I agree that DeRosa is a big story right now. It would be absolutely huge if he’s healthy enough to finally contribute with Panda out and Tejada playing so badly. I know we’re collectively not real optimistic about that actually happening, but it would be a helluva nice bonus if it did.
Who was Dennis referring to? Matt Kemp mayhaps?
Until/if Fontenot becomes unacceptable at SS, DeRosa and Tejada should share third.
As to Burriss, a misplay per game in the field is unacceptable.
Things went quite poorly with Fontenot this weekend, eh?
They probably want to wait until the road trip to DFA Pat- they don’t want him busting up their own clubhouse 😉
Fontenot is .269 .338 .755 career.Pretty damn good for a middle infielder. There’s plenty more guys to worry about than Mike…
Well, I’m glad DeRosa’s healthy but I’m not going to expect the return of the prodigal son. Like Rowand, the Giants signed him after a couple peak years after he’d already been a 10 year veteran. Just good solid hitting and defense is all I would ask
Alright then, I’ll hold off for a couple of games before I slaughter the fatted calf.
I like Fontenot, I have never not liked him. I just don’t think a good team over the course of 162 has him batting 3rd. Huff needs to start hitting again (and he IS hitting balls hard, often foul, but still) and Font can moonwalk on down to the 7 or 8 spot………
And I’ll say this, I don’t think there was ever a better trade deadline/August pick up list of unheralded players than what Sabes did last year. Off the top of my head he got Lopez, Ramirez, Ross, Fontenot, Guillen…am I missing anyone? That’s a pretty amazing haul when you consider we gave up less than jackshit for those guys (i only included Guillen for the list, not production. He won exactly one game for us otherwise Ross should have played every game in place of him. I will go to my grave believing Bochy bank-shot the Cody Ross hit. He never would have played him if it weren’t for Guillen’s wife getting busted)…………
I seriously doubt that there are any plans to keep him in the three. A totally baseless concern…
What should be considered is “moonwalking” the Fruckster to the 7 or 8, and putting Font in the 2..
In your heart of hearts, most of you are really “Bonehead” guys, you’d turn on Bochy in a second..
that’s something you wish in your *heart of hearts*….Bochy gets a free pass for life……..
Thing is, you guys thought Bochy changed. He didn’t, your perception finally caught up with reality
I never thought Bochy changed. I even liked him in San Diego. Hell, he got them to the WS and was made manager of the year down there. I liked his signing and always felt he played with what he was dealt each year as best as he good.
Now, having said that, I will admit to to Bochy bashing in non-baseball areas.
I believe I’ve mentioned that huuuuge heed of his with its own weathersystem.
I’m pretty sure I’ve compared his overall look to Walter Huston in TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE.
And I *KNOW* I’ve mentioned how boring his press conferences and interviews are. I usually just turn down the sound and listen to Perry Como CD.
But other than that…
Rowand has perfected the single dumbest stance in the history of stances. Before the ball gets thrown, he looks like he’s drunk trying to entice the bat to come hone for a 1/nite stand
Worse stance than Craig Counsell?
Yes. Counsel never tried to fuck his bat 4 times a game…
That was one ugly baseball play on everyone’s part. We’ll take the out.
Miranda. Um. Bad decision.
Obviously he didn’t have his attorney’s advice..
Sad news from Churchill Downs: Michael Baze found dead…
What?
He’s just a kid. Tragic
Only 24. Very sad.
Saw that earlier. the non-Russell base guys, especially the youngsters, have had some weird shit go down
Amy G tweeted that “Cody Ross has pulled his pant-legs back up.” Is this referring to a) an injury? b) a fetish c) a coaching sign or d) relieving a mosquito bite?

” Buirrell hasn’t homered since April 18th. He’s driven in 2 runs since that HR. ”
“Pat is 5-34. He’s 2-19 w/RISP . . . He ONLY has value if he’s driving in runs. Period.”
Of course, if Burrell produced an 809 OPS over 500 PAs, these arguments would be exposed as the specious bullshit they are. If you want to make the case that Burrell can’t maintain that OPS over an entire season that’s one thing; the selective use of contingent stats to write off a player’s offensive value is dishonest.
I’m not sure who you’re quoting but the statement “he ONLY has value if he’s driving in runs” is true. That’s what he’s here for. He’s supposed to be our pure power hitter
You only quoted half the quote. You wanna be known as half ass?
The first quote was chuckles. (Come on, James. You’ve got a hundred iq pts on him.) The second was TF.
If he puts up an 809 OPS over an entire season, he will drive in and score plenty of runs. There is no argument to be made there. As it is, right now he has seen significantly fewer runners on base and in scoring position than other players with the same number of PAs.
Specious bullshit? All that means is Pat is cold. They have options to sit his cold ass down. They did.
Do I look like an ambulance, xootie?
No, chuckles, you look like a guy living on a modest trust fund without much flair.
It’s still a dead-0n post
I’ll agree with the last two sentences. But Burrell wasn’t signed to do anything *but* drive in runs. He ain’t a 5 tooler. HRs and RBIs. That’s what he’s being paid for (not paid much, but he took it).
And the 500 PAs? That wasn’t going to happen anyway
Is that because there’s no way Burrell doesn’t deliver the 809 OPS or because Bochy is looking forward to seeing Rowand’s impressive UZR in LF?
Neither. He’s not a starter. That’s all. Would you like him to be a starter?
Close pitch. Good eye.
You gotta give Rowand this- he takes one for the team when it comes to getting hit by pitches.
Well, he sits on top of the plate, so he’s going to get hit fairly often. It’s better than a K, for sure….
He puts his grill right in there in a way that a lot of batters wouldn’t.
SF starters may have improved a bit, but continue to go AWOL when runner is on first, allowing walking lead and EZ steals. I put most on the starter, obviously, but there’s got to be some culpability on Posey as well as the coaches. Coaches can get the catcher’s attention to getting the pitcher to pay attention and throw over there if the pitcher gets in a zone and forgets the runner. If Rags is working on this in the bullpen offday sessions, it still is getting lost when the starters get into the real games…
Timmy has it going against this crap squad. If the Giants can’t score and get him a lead, it’ll be near criminal. They almost broke through last frame, they should be able to score this frame or next…
It’s high time Timmy put one in triples alley. You read it here first.
I read it, but I saw a triple strike instead…
Yes. Yes I did.
Minus the late inning heroics, our hitting is as bad as I can ever remember it. But it’s a 9 inn gm, someone will hit something past someone to win the gm late. An on field celebration will ensue. That’s just the way it has gone, fuck the shitty numbers and celebrate the results….
Maybe Belt would help.
Nice………
OK, Time to get something here….
Loo: Cody Ross?
That’s a winner, Mac!
You flip your bat after hitting a HR vs Cain and you’re gonna hear it every damn time.
Hit that motherfuckers sister next time he’s up. And toss the bat up his mother’s ass. I cannot tolerate that shit. Plunk that cocksucker but good.
How’d I know? ‘Cause I remember having the same reaction!
ha ha ha. Beautiful
