You DO NOT let Sanchez bat leadoff in the 8th in a one run game. Instead you have a speedy NATE bat lead-off and then play right field in the 9th. ------------------------ This is disappointing to learn. Not only does all of this make perfect sense but you let a young pitcher leave the game without any negative feelings AND you give your closer a clean slate to begin the 9th. No closer likes to enter the game with a runner on. nondisclosed_email@example.com (ram9198)Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:30:30 +0000 Re: GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> ROCKIES at GIANTS 08/30https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p558674,from=rss#post558674https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p558674,from=rss#post558674I'm so GLAD that you finally posted a write up Merk! I was so utterly disgusted after last nights loss, I was completely at a loss for words. I had a long day so I just shut off the tube and went to bed. So I came looking for a write up this morning! Thank you Merk, if your post was anything, it was cathartic.... I might just pass on the Alka Seltzer this morning after all!!

GAMEBALL and JOKER ==> ROCKIES at GIANTS 08/30 GAMEBALL SANCHEZ Good god…..that game was the reason we keep him and the reason we want to trade him all rolled into one……masterful with nasty stuff all night…..but in the end, when the pressure is on he unraveled……after getting a quick 0-2 on Fowler……4 straight balls, of which the first 3 weren't even close…..and they way Sanchez wasn't throwing strikes and the way he doesn't hold runners, he forced his way out of the game…… TIP OF THE CAP : HUFF Couple walks a run scored…..and a deep drive to left in the 9th that might been out of here during the heatwave last week POSEY Had some ugly swings at offspeed pitches……but was able to come up with the only RBI of the night….. JOKER ROSS I am just at a loss for words…..I want to defend and make excuses for Ross…..but I can't, that is simply a ball you must catch…..yes, it was hard hit…..yes, it was a broken bat ball that sailed……but you simply must catch that ball……yes, my first thought was it was falling in front of him, but I am watching on TV……and he is the professional….and the ball was ENTIRELY catchable…….add to that a MISERABLE night at the plate with 2 strikeouts and the only ball in play a Double Play that killed the only Giants rally of the night…….and our newcomer is the joker……..but I still rather see him play RF over the Sloth that is Guillen……. SMACK OF THE STICK : F SNACHEZ Couple errors to bring his season total to 4…….and the game blowing error in the 9th with a 47 hopper that rolled it's way into Gonzales and out of play……he makes that throw on a line and they got him by 5 feet……. WILSON He got over in time, but was WAY too close to back up that play……you got to be further away from third than that, BECAUSE of the unexpected bounces……all you have to do is knock it down……you knock it down, Car Go ain't going anywhere, and we can go ahead and lose in 14th instead…… SHARE VIA FACEBOOK SHARE VIA TWITTER GB and JK ARCHIVES AT THE GIANTS BOARD BLOG (The fine print: There will be cussing and bad taste.
