And it's true too. The guy is on a roll.

Thought we were going to be able to mark off the Carp there. No such luck.
   21. Good cripple hitter Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:01 PM (#3680034)

You'd think that CJ Wilson would've given him that speech once or twice.
   22. Hey, you and Tommy LaSorda...I hate Tommy LaSorda Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:03 PM (#3680035)
They never mentioned the Carp, just Japan. And the graphic never said Carp, I don't think we got it yet.

Yes it did, "Carp" was over the word Hiroshima.

According to B-Ref, Feliz has pitched the 8th inning in 12 games, for 9.1 innings.

According to B-Ref, Feliz has pitched the 8th inning in 12 games, for 9.1 innings.

I looked that up too. Wash is probably just covering for himself/Feliz, because when he was asked about it after game 2, he just said that he never even thought of bringing Feliz into the game in that situation.
   28. tshipman Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:08 PM (#3680043)
That Texas right field sure doesn't have much foul ground.

If the Giants score this inning, they will win this game.

Damn fine at bat from Mr. Ross.
   37. Tom (and his broom) Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:25 PM (#3680055)
Pitch count is quickly adding up for Lewis. 20 pitch first inning and then an 8 pitch walk to start the second.

Panda is ambidextrous--he can eat with both hands, light or dark meat, vanilla or chocolate, whatever you got, basically.
   39. Steve Sparks Flying Everywhere Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:27 PM (#3680058)
Greg Harris the ambidextrous pitcher went to my high school.
   40. Good cripple hitter Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:27 PM (#3680059)
The international feed just twice showed a guy down the third base line who was wearing a Giants jersey and a massive Panda head. It's nightmare fuel, like something out of Donnie Darko.
   41. Srul Itza Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:28 PM (#3680060)
And then the Giants speed it up so he is at only 34 pitches through 2.

Not very good strategic thinking on their part.
   42. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:28 PM (#3680061)
The Curse of the Panda... 0-2 GDP against a pitcher who is otherwise in danger of needing 40 pitches to get through 2 innings.

Lewis: 33 pitches
   43. Tom (and his broom) Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:29 PM (#3680063)
Panda can also pitch with both hands...actually throws better lefty.
   44. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:30 PM (#3680064)
The international feed just twice showed a guy down the third base line who was wearing a Giants jersey and a massive Panda head.


And the guy sitting next to him looks like Jonathan Sanchez. Very disconcerting.
   45. Gamingboy Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:31 PM (#3680065)
Nelson Cruz smashed that. Smashed that
   46. tshipman Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:31 PM (#3680066)
Really? Bunting with Kinsler in the 2nd?
   47. Good cripple hitter Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:33 PM (#3680067)
Frenchy never fails to disappoint.
   48. Dan Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:33 PM (#3680068)
What the hell was Cruz doing? He has to go home on that with 1 out and Molina up next.
   49. Shooty: Applying to be Fearless Leader Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:34 PM (#3680069)

Wouldn't Cruz have been out by a mile if he went home on that?
   52. Zach Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:34 PM (#3680072)
Texas likes every pitch this guy is throwing. Not working the count much.

Not being dead meat at the plate, mostly.

I think he would have been out if he'd tried to score. I didn't think you'd typically go on contact on a grounder to third where Uribe was playing JF..
   59. Srul Itza Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:36 PM (#3680079)
Bengie Molina:

Career OPS: .718
Career Postseason OPS: .803


This season --
ALDS - .929
ALCS - .915
WS - 1.250 [Edit: Before that Walk]

Baseball is a very funny game.

Sutcliffe has lost the plot, he just suggested that Washington might want to double steal here with Cruz and Molina.
   62. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:38 PM (#3680082)
I get the feeling that it's going to be Home Run Derby for both teams the second time through the order.

Leaving aside what I wrote in #59 -- what does it mean when your first baseman is batting ninth, behind Bengie Molina?
   67. Good cripple hitter Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:40 PM (#3680087)
Frenchy in a landslide.

Disagree. Frenchy has like the Henry Aaron of jokes/games. Lots of jokes, and lots of games played for a joke player. Lopez has much less jokes, but 1/2 as many games. The real king is Chris Truby (263 games, neverending meme).

Shocking EDIT: Truby's wikipage is mainly devoted to discussing his satanic practices.
   68. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:41 PM (#3680088)

   71. The Ghost, elitist lollygagging neck-stabber Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:41 PM (#3680091)
Shockingly, we collectively think McCarver was wrong. I will grant Tim that if going on contact is the "right play" (and I doubt it is), then the fact that he looked like hew could have been dead meat is irrelevant - the runner goes before he can judge his chances.

...and that bomb makes the choice even more correct in hindsight.

Home Run Derby for both teams the second time through the order.
Or maybe the bottom of the order the first time. . .

I think Jonathan Sanchez shouldn't be anywhere near the World Series right now.

How does the bomb make the choice more correct? Assuming Molina still walks, Francoeur would have scored on the HR just as easily as Cruz did from 3B. As much as I hate saying these words, I agree with McCarver. That's a spot for the contact play.

I think Jonathan Sanchez shouldn't be anywhere near the World Series right now.


Maybe. He's only hitting 90 at best with the fastball.

You will recall that the Rangers reluctantly gave up their starting first baseman, Justin Smoak, to get Cliff Lee. They didn't throw him in until it was almost too late. They tried to platoon Davis and Cantu for awhile, then brought Moreland up from AAA.

Methinks they like the trade just fine right now.

How does the bomb make the choice more correct?

My bad. Yes, the end result would be the same.

Ken Rosenthal looks like Pee Wee Herman's long lost brother.

1. Ump blows call [ ]


Almoit, as they said Hirschbeck was signaling out on the ball Burrell actually trapped, but him losing it made it moot.

No NFL on the checklist?

EDIT: Did that just count towards #16?

16. Gratuitous discussion about the Dallas Cowboys [ ]

Guillermo Mota is warming up.
   92. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:57 PM (#3680115)
Guillermo Mota is warming up.

As he should be. Sanchez has nothing tonight.
   93. The Most Interesting Man In The World Posted: October 30, 2010 at 11:58 PM (#3680116)
Ok, I think gratuitous American Idol references will have to be on tomorrow's checklist.
   94. S.F. Giangst Posted: October 31, 2010 at 12:01 AM (#3680117)
I get the sense that Sanchez is just tired. He's way over his single season high pitch count obviously. There's just no life in his pitches now and only the slider is working a little bit, but doesn't have the same movement it did last month.

Not today.

Going to Pizza Hut guarantees a second date? I think in that case I would have been the rejector.
   97. Tom (and his broom) Posted: October 31, 2010 at 12:02 AM (#3680120)
I dunno...Sanchez has made some good pitches...
