Michael Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Showtime should have some fun with this. I bet the producers are kicking themselves that the first episode airs on the 11th, thus not giving them enough time to put this at the end of their broadcast. This game is clearly a climax moment at the end of a very dramatic episode. Ended with the credits...TO BE CONTINUED. I hope they are regretting that they cut down the episode lengths from 60 minutes to 30 minutes. There's no way that the 2011 Giants had twice as much juicy content to air. They... they could still edit it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think its ridiculous that he is batting second solely because of his past performances. He has no business being in the top 6 of our lineup right now. He has the third-best on-base percentage of our currently-active players. I see Ruggiano, Stanton, Reyes, Dobbs, Morrison, Lee all having better OBP than Hanley. Hanley is also near the bottom of our active players with RISP.

Stanton is not currently active, he's on the DL. Ruggiano and Dobbs don't have the ABs necessary for you to say that. Lee JUST joined the team, can't really count him. Morrison and Reyes are all that's left. 3rd-highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Should have let out that frustration on Bell's gut. I wish he'd punched a human fan rather than a fan that keeps you cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you take out Stanton don't you have to account for Dobbs? The number of AB's is irrelevant as they haven't proven they will have a worse OBP. And there is still that little thing about having one of your worst RISP players batting 2nd/3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 As a Marlin, Lee's Houston numbers are completely irrelevant. No you don't have to account for a bench player. The reason why the number of AB's is RELEVANT is because there's an exact reason that they're bench players. They have proven over time as starters that they can't sustain those numbers. I do agree your worst RISP guys shouldn't be anywhere up at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I still disagree about Lee, he is currently active and I feel you have to take into account the season numbers as a whole regardless of what uniform they had on. Anyways I think its ridiculous that Hanley hasn't been bumped for Ruggiano. I don't expect Ruggiano to be a better player than Hanley in the long run but how do you not take advantage of him right now in the top 3rd of the lineup?

gizmo Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Was it an idiotic move? Yeah. But to say he doesn't care or shows no effort is idiotic in itself. Show me one instance this season where it looked like he wasn't trying or didn't care. Btw, Hanley just wrote the fan on his bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcha talkin bout Willis? Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd like to see Ozzie go into a 1998 Leyland like tirade where he demeans every single position player in the clubhouse, then pulls a billy martin like tirade right after where he flips over the buffet table and says dinner is served. If he flip over the buffet table, bell would be very upset. *flips the buffet table* Bell: HEY! Ozzie: SIH THE FUH DOWN YOU FA-AH FUH, YOU A HUGE PART O TIS! Bell: ... *sits down* Ozzie: Dinner ih serd. Oh god, i spit my soda out from laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada-marlin24 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I actually dreamt that we traded Hanley to the red sox yet I could never figure out who we got for him. Weird one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
