After looking back at some past comments [including my own] I think maybe I mis-quoted myself about Burriss or some did not grasp my jest….I have been down on Burriss for years as the only time the Giants call him back up it is for his running [sometimes very suspect]
all he doe’s he scare the crap out of gophers around second base. Brings back memories of the A’s signing a track star to run the bases and a midget to get a walk from the opposing pitcher.
I truly like the Panda, but now that ownership seems to have bought a lifetime pass to burger king for him he has turned into a “yawner” by taking Burriss’s thunder from him with all the balls to second base[especially for double plays] Come on Panda be the player you can be or wind up being the balance act at the infield positions for Detroit and Prince Fielder.Overweight third baseman don’t last long in baseball.

Wow I’m so happy to see that you judge a player on one game, maybe you should give crap to fowler, Crawford, Gonzalez and everybody else that errored out tonight. Pablo is a good ballplayer and solid hitter, just looked at his stats and his WAR and if you know what that Stat is fastfreddie and then just know, that I was right and that’s what’s important

Good chatter! My two cents:

I tend to go with what’s going to be hot right now, and through October…

Recent stats show Vogelsong may not get a starting position in the playoffs, but his next two regular season starts BOTH vs SD should tell the story.

Overweight Panda (and I’m a huge fan) is starting to remind me of overweight Molina. When he’s too fat to get to first base on a dropped double play ball (yes, with a guy on third), that’s a “bit” too large for me. Aria’s hot (and relatively inexperienced), and I trust Bochy to win this year if at all possible. But Panda in SF longer than his arbitration years…I’m not optimistic.

I’m elated that it looks like we’re going to the playoffs!!! Our choice of pitching is pretty broadbased right now with the 40-man roster (and players coming off the DL & drug suspensions), and while starters & relievers have been too inconsistent, Bochy will have a good selection to choose his 25-man playoff roster.

Fielders (read that third base) is another matter, as I don’t see Burris as anybody that will be playing for SF in the playoffs nor next season.

A long-time amazing thought…. no matter what year I’m rooting for Giants (since that 1st grade class where they took us out of school to watch the 1962 World Series on a 19″ black & white TV in the lunchroom), the current year is always the most exciting! Love you fellow Giants fans!!!

PS-AT&T was the most electric beating LA since the 2010 World Series….GO GIANTS!!

Ah yes Chris, hilarity abounds tonight…I just walked away from the game with a gut ache from watching “Flub-A-Dubs” clown act at third base and with the bat again or am I once again watching a different game ? One error, three mentals and counting – whoop de doo !!!!

If Pablo spent more time on his fundamentals than worring about his pre at bat “Bull S___” he just might be a better hitter. This guy goes to the plate like someone should be worried that he’s up there. You don’t have to throw this guy a strike because he will swing at anything; especially if we have a rally going. I’m tired of hearing.. everyone loves the Panda.. He’s great in the dugout.. He has fun.. He loves the game…. I tell both my boys that this is the “worst” hitter in the MLB and take nothing from what he does on the field to your own game…. Does Pablo watch hitters like Posey while he’s back in the dugout?

How many times have there been runners on 3rd with 1 out. In ATT you have to play small ball…bunt the guys in and get the one run…with it it puts more heat on the other team…not he lets them hit and so many times…double play…gads I hate it!!!

When he worked down his weight, he did better on the field and the bat. Now that he is back to where he was in weight, it seems to have an effect on him. When one cannot have discipline on his plate, he has no discipline at the plate. Bottom line he cost the game last night…his error would have been 3 outs, but with and they would hve been ahead. At the plate with men on base, he was a zero. Bench him to wake him up.

Sorry Chris Pablo is still a joke…Burriss was and is still worse…that was said with LOL as was Tejada and Renteria…stats still show that when Pablo is on eating binges he stinks the yard out…double play after double play and until he thins down he should not be batting third or even playing…he must put a heck of a shine on Boch’s car. Granted Arias is not a hitter but he is lights out fielding compared to Pablo who has trouble bending over for grounders…then again maybe you and I are watching different games.

Here’s a stat ESPN printed in Mid July on the Panda……

•Pablo Sandoval has grounded into nine double plays on the first pitch this season. That’s more than six teams and almost twice as many as the Mets (5).
