I think he will always be more of a strikeout pitcher than Huddy and won't ever rely in a sinking FB the way Huddy does. Just my opinion based on my own observations up to this point.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-62970104315341705072014-05-29T15:10:42.396-07:002014-05-29T15:10:42.396-07:00BTW, looking just his numbers, I wonder if Timmy i...BTW, looking just his numbers, I wonder if Timmy is evolving to Hudson's 'pitching to contact' or something else? Maybe a mixture of both?

You would think Giants fans would be use to this and take a wait and see attitude, but instead it's like people go on campaigns to hate on a player, or a strategy even when it's paying off.

The Red Birds are tough at home (15-9) but the Queen city team is merely 12-12, so the road isn't too scary. Amazingly, Krukow was the last guy to get pulled during a no hitter, but I don't know if he won or not.22's SweetSwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224679009729884861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-76645319468957505122014-05-29T05:50:59.325-07:002014-05-29T05:50:59.325-07:00Thanks, Bacci.

The great majority of such critiques I see do not take the first, necessary step in evaluating the deliberate actions of rational actors, which is to start by asking for the most favorable rational explanation for why they did what they did, especially since they're privy to information that the evaluator doesn't have. When I yell at my computer screen, as some Giant pitcher or batter looks to me as though he's making a fool of himself, and demand that Bochy do or not do something that I feel he should, I don't try to reason why he's not listening to my cries of anger and angst. But that behavior of mine isn't, I think, relevant to making public written judgments on a blog; it's just my acting up. I'm glad that bacci's acting up isn't being solidified and exhibited, as I'm glad that my own isn't, and I hope other bloggers follow his example.campanarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-75606237195029315342014-05-28T21:40:27.520-07:002014-05-28T21:40:27.520-07:00if any have noticed, ive pretty much given up ques...if any have noticed, ive pretty much given up questioning the moves of sabey sabes and bochy, this season<br /><br />not so over at the merc, where those guys were beside themselves when kontos got the call<br /><br />the kid has good stuff...he just has occasional mental lapses....which he seems to have dealt with on his recent stint in fresno<br /><br />looks to me the guy who needs some work is huff, so i expect him to go down once june and the extended home stands roll around next week<br /><br />timmy did his job again...it wasnt pretty, but he kept the team in the game until they could get to the cubbies pen<br /><br />on the other side, im a bit curious as to why nate has more of a crouch this season than last...it isnt working and he should look at last seasons game films to see that his crouch was not as pronounced<br /><br />the rox lost on a walk off and the bums and kershaw are currently losing...so giants may end up going on road trip with a bit of cushion<br /><br />they are gonna need it....cards and cinci play well at home<br /><br />so far, this has been a seriously enjoyable season<br /><br />btw....when was the last time a pitcher in the majors left a game with a no no going...and didnt get the win? <br /><br />bacci Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
