Game 17 Open Thread: April 18, 2008

San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals, Apr 18, 2008 8:15 PM EDT


Cain Wellemeyer
0-1, 3.24 1-0, 4.00

espn.com doesn't often have a worthwhile article, but there's an amusing one up there today which asks: are the giants the worst hitting team of the last 50 years? and if they're not, who is?

they are definitely worst in the nl to date: last in scoring, last in obp, 14th in slugging, 15th in homers. they are 1st in SBs, however.

Is a 1B of

Rich Aurilia the worst ever?

Kip Wells

Maybe I missed it elsewhere, but did you guys see Baron von Kippington pull off the W in the 22-inning marathon last night in San Diego?

His line:
4 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K, HBP, 53 pitches
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=280417125

I found it interesting that 4 non-starters had 3 or more IP in relief. Kipper was the only starter out of those 4. Ledezma for the Padres had 5 IP on 80 pitches. He is a former starter though: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7086

Did you know? TLR no sugar

Just to point out how dubious I am of FSN’s Do You Know yesterday, LaRussa is a big fan of wine and unless I remember incorrectly,wine is very high in sugar content, no?

I think it depends on the wine

Dry reds have very little or none; some of the stuff you can get from wineries around here has a lot.

I'm just various dubious of the statement

that the man has no sugar in his diet.

guess it depends

on what you define as suger? refined sugars? artificial sugars? Yes technically cards would count as sugars at some level as well. I’ll just take away from it that he tries to eat healthy.

Nutritionists correct me

But isn’t any starch/carbohydrate broken down into sugar anyway basically?

by joker24 on Apr 18, 2008 7:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes

which is why i made the point that it could be the type of sugars being referred to. I’m sure natural occuring sugars are in everyone’s diet. It probably is a good idea to avoid the refined ones (high fructose corn syrup anyone?)

by FunkeeC on Apr 18, 2008 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm with you

He’s probably talking about sucrose (table sugar) and HFCS as well, since that’s how the ingredients are listed on food labels.

All starches/sugars are turned into blood glucose.

if they hadn’t split with the Cardinals. And scored the same number of runs, actually (both 21 runs in the 4 game series)

It’s silly to complain about the Cardinals record, but they should have won last night’s game (if not for Skippy) and one of the SF games they lost

Which is well enough but if it is all coming across direct tv and local stl feeds then i need to have a serious conversation with my local cable company for a week that had to shut down my cable boxes each night to reset them so i could get the game i was already supposed to be getting, now the audio is screwed up.

It was a smart out

Runners on 2nd and 3rd, none out. A deep fly gets the runner from 3rd in, but doesn’t necessarily get the runner from 2nd to 3rd. A grounder to 2nd, however, moves both runners up one. You definitely can’t say he was doing that on purpose, but it was probably the most productive out he could have made.

Derek Lowe just took 3 balls of the leg in two innings in Atlanta. I guess that’s one of the problems with throwing so many sinkers and getting so many groundballs.

That's what I thought too

The official scorer ruled it a sac.

Something that I’m wary of is the prospect of a speedy runner advancing to 3rd on sac bunts to try to draw throws across the diamond from el Hombre.

me I don't trust offical scorers

Sometimes I think they just go with what should of happened on the play not exactly how it happens. Tradition says a guy bunts with a runner on first it has to be a sacrifice. That or else they just want to help out players Batting Average

Suppose we blow this game tonight (don’t want to jinx it)

If we play .500 ball the rest of the way, we’d end up with 83 or 84 wins.

I imagine there’s something to what he’s saying though, that the average fan comes to the park expecting to see a win since the home record is so good.

LaRussa's comment about Ludwick today

“It’s tough not to play him,” La Russa said. “He certainly does a lot to deserve to be in there. A lot of it is clutch, too.”

i guess it’s not that tought to not play him…cause TLR is gettin good at not playing him.

CRUSHING THE BALL. He had 4 hits last night and no one else had more then 1. He EARNED the start today..to start everyday.

We may learn something soon

Wellemeyer’s at 67 pitches after four. Cards have a seven run lead (and counting).

Joe Rogers is out for the year at Memphis and Hugo Castellanos made a spot start (5 shutout innings from the 1/4 pitcher).

If LaRussa pulls Wellemeyer after the fifth and uses Wonderbrad for an inning or two, it could be more about getting him work today to put him on schedule to take Rogers spot in the rotation at Mempis than getting his confidence back up after last night.

Wainwright.

Molina is left on the bench, though. You’re right, probably a good idea to leave some guys on the bench.

Hat's off to Threets

He owned the outside of the plate and set Dunc up nicely.

Big lead = more innings for Welly ...

and less strain on Bullpen …

I don't like the way Ankiel runs

He kinda reaches forward with his toe, looks to me like he’s going to hyperextend his knee every step.

He scares me too ...

I am really afraid he going to get injured … God forbid …

Welly is one lucky son-of-a-gun ...

with run support, isn’t he? ... it’s got to be more than luck …

Chipper Jones with another 2 HR tonight

Had 2 last night, too. You’re feeling pretty good if he’s on your fantasy team.

Oh wait, he’s on my fantasy team! Yeah!

Good pick....

He is just an amazingly good hitter-has been for years. I think he’s the most underrated player in the National League…..

She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
