Pitching and defense wins championship. Span fits the bill in that approach. Let's be patient with him. Not all games are won on offense, despite WOLD's run differential babbledygook on the subject.Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778638700744221971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-89759712772174716722013-08-15T00:39:31.915-04:002013-08-15T00:39:31.915-04:00Sure, Sunshine, that's what they were, Pittsbu...Sure, Sunshine, that's what they were, Pittsburg call letters.<br />Look, Span saved tonight's game more than Raffy Soriano. Denard has been disappointing in his offensive production, but that catch was the epitome of what Denard brings to the table. I don't always agree with Phil Wood, but he said tonight that some centerfielders make the ordinary play look spectacular while others make the spectacular play look ordinary, and that Denard Span fits the bill as the later. Nicely said, Phil.

He was pissed when Ryan hit the locker and he lost his services early in the year and he hasn't forgiven him. If Ryan came back and pitched intelligently he would've got back in Johnson's good graces. Instead, he comes out and rushes between pitches, and can't get one or two batters out.

He actually does not seem to think at all before he speaks. Adam Kilgore has referenced in his articles that it has been an issue that he reveals confidences to the press and says things that should be said privately in the clubhouse. I don't think I have ever heard a manager be so absolutely thoughtless with his words.

You know he was relieved and grateful for the great defense. Sometimes you pick up your teammates, and sometimes they pick you up. That's how it works on good teams. <br /><br />Very entertaining game and satisfying game. JZnn really settled down and did his job after we got the lead. The crowd gave him a great ovation after the 7th. Rendon had some really fine defensive plays tonight. He's got a cannon for an arm too. Whoa! And that two run double was key. <br /><br />Harper's little brain freeze on that popup was troubling. Ever notice that he's kind of the anti-Span on routes to fly balls? Even on easy plays he kind of wanders toward the ball.

What a catch!<br /><br />Swami, in my opinion, you're wrong and Davey is right. Everybody was thrilled a couple of weeks ago when Knorr called Soriano out. Well, Davey in effect called Ryan Mattheus out tonight, with much more cause than Knorr had on Soriano. Mattheus is showing himself to be a self centered, undependable punk on the mound this year, and Davey made it clear that he needs help from his bullpen. Expect to see someone cut tomorrow and some one called up.Mattheus deserved to be publicly humiliated by his manager.<br /><br />BTW, We made a day of it. We got down to the where we park on the west side of the stadium at 3:00 and walked along the east side of the ballpark by the river. The park there is beautiful! Also, there is a handful of new eateries to soon open. We spent a couple hours at the bar at the Gordon Biersch Pub. The crowd was friendly, the food was very good, and the beer was fantastic!<br /><br />I was happy to see Desmond get a homer.<br /><br />GYFNG!!!Joe Seamheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000259234420985114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-39299295262601372512013-08-14T23:31:32.839-04:002013-08-14T23:31:32.839-04:00Dan Kolko @masnKolko 2m
