just as good? LOL.
you just killed the thread. good job.
look at the records..look at our offense...look at the standings. we're better at home, better on the road than the giants.. and you say 'just as good'?? lol if it werent for our bullpen, we would be like 29-4 right now. we would be undefeated against the NLW..we're 20-8 against the NLW as it is. the gianst are 13-12 against the NLW. that aint a very good way to win the division. :bandit:
S P I C E:
We have won the last 2 series, one at home and one in la. The last 3 weeks the giants and dodgers have had 2 of the best 5 records in all of baseball, I repeat we are just as good. We are 4 and a half back due to the first week of the season, the last 3 weeks both clubs have pretty much been even.
J.D. Wykid, Esq.:
our bullpen, besides for broxton, is SHIT...yet we still manage to have the best record in baseball cause our offense is fucking stacked. if we had some relief pitching like we've had in the last couple of years, we would be leading the division by double digits.
if the giants want to do ANYTHING, RIGHT NOW is the time to do it. cause once our RP straightens out, and manny comes back, shiiiiiiiittttt......
Twentytwofifty:
The Giants REALLY need get step up their offense if they want to go anywhere.
Last in Runs
26th in AVG
Last in OBP
29th in SLG
Last in HRs
Last in BB
Here's an article on the Giants offense:
--- Quote ---The Giants offense: One bad thing about every player
Posted by Nick Kapur on Wednesday May 06th 2009, 11:01 am - filed in Diamond cuts
Lots of people were really high on the San Francisco Giants this offseason, making lots of bold predictions about how they would finish over .500 and might even make the playoffs, predictions which were predicated on the Giants making some sort of quantum leap on offense from a performance that was second worst in all of baseball last year, to only the Padres, who at least have the excuse of playing in Petco Park.
But we here at UmpBump just didn't see it happening. Still, while the Giants offensive suckage may not be surprising, it is still stunning in just how bad they are at all phases of the offensive game. They literally do everything badly - they don't walk, they don't hit for power, they don't hit for average, and they strike out a ton.
The team ISO is a piddling .119, 29th in baseball. The team K% is 23 which ranks 23nd. And the team BB% of 7.4 comes in at 29th in baseball as well. Add it all up and you have a team that has scored a mere 90 runs, last in the Major Leagues.
Running through the starting lineup, it is easily possible to come up with at least one mind-bogglingly horrendous fact for every single player, without repeating yourself. Observe:
Catcher Bengie Molina has yet to draw a single walk, meaning that his OBP is actually lower than his batting average (due to a sacrifice fly).
Travis Ishikawa has a .528 OPS. As a first baseman.
2B Manny Burress has an ISO of .025. No that is not a typo.
3B Pablo Sandoval has an unsustainably high BABIP of .360, which is bound to fall. Not a good sign since 100 percent of his value is tied up in batting average.
Light-hitting shortstop Edgar Renteria is on pace to strike out a whopping 97 times this season.
Leftfielder Fred Lewis is playing corner outfield position but has yet to hit a single homer this year, after hitting only 9 all last year.
Centerfielder Aaron Rowand has a .299 OBP.
Rightfielder Randy Winn has a .220 batting average, a real worry since his BABIP is actually not particularly low.
