I noticed that Chris Haft noted that too in a recent article, the Giants record with that many runs, and to give myself a pat on the back, I believe I'm the only one writing about the Giants record with 4 runs for the past few years now. <br /><br />I agree about letting them pass until they actually do what we don't like. I hate how so many fans start squawking the moment they THINK the Giants are going to do something stupid, based on a rumor, then it turns out that the rumor was false, as most of them do turn out. I've yet to see one of them admit that they blew up over a non-situation, much like the media and Bonds. As far as they are concerned, they were right to do that because they "know" how these people will act, so they justify it in their heads that way.<br /><br />About Sabean, that just follows up on your comment about how relievers were coughing up potential wins in 2008-9, and how we don't want to regress back to that era. Get the lead, hold the lead, good formula for a team.<br /><br />Have to think Bochy was a strong voice for that too. Must be part of the reason he is probably the only manager in the past 20-odd years (his career) to compile a win-loss record in 1-run games where he is statistically significantly above .500, per my calculations (admittedly simple and hopefully done correctly).obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-9293699180747436132012-01-04T07:59:05.276-08:002012-01-04T07:59:05.276-08:00On the Baer segment.

I believe the Giants are just crazy enough to commit big to both Timmy/Cain, and until they don't I'll give them the benefit of that. I view Baer as the principle architect of all the corporate hustles that I don't really like - fake beards, "bonds squad", rubber chickens, panda hats, etc, but he also comes off as a genuine Giants fan with real bay area history, so I'll give him that. <br /><br />They very plainly said we can't go get hitters because we have to project out our homegrown players. Gave the examples of Florida and Texas busting down and wanting to avoid that with the budget. That's what I want to hear on that one. So I guess I'm giving Baer a grudging pass right now with the RDF, the budget and the offseason up until spring training ends. They don't have to extend Timmy now, but I think they do have to have an answer from Cain by the end of March. Pins and needles.<br /><br />On that Sabean segment - its right there with the lefties. Close games, used to pitching in leveraged situations, maintain a strength. Its very typical of Sabean. I have maintained the Giants have taken a good look at the FA, the minors and other clubs and decided to hell with chasing down another bullpen, they like the one they have. I have to crack up at his "hope to hell we score 4 runs" quote. That'll provide some fodder.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23735245.post-88114445576946927222012-01-03T15:31:28.359-08:002012-01-03T15:31:28.359-08:00Ooops, didn't know the URL don't get updat...Ooops, didn't know the URL don't get updated when I switch video.
