What’s Going On (Intentional Balk)

Posted November 16, 2006 at 4:07 pm

I’m going away for just over a week, so there won’t be any updates in that time, sorry. But I promise I’ll finish looking at the Giants outfield when I get back.

Wheeled Warriors (Intentional Balk)

Posted November 16, 2006 at 4:06 pm

And, by wheeled warriors, I am not referring to Bonds, Finley and Alou trying to cover the outfield in wheelchairs. No, I’m talking about the mighty Jayce!
This cartoon was only made in order to help sell toys and action figures, and when the toy sales were disappointing, the series was cancelled without resolution. [...]

A Break In The Action. (Intentional Balk)

Posted November 12, 2006 at 12:41 pm

BRB International, makers of the outstanding Dogtanian and the Muskahounds cartoon, were no one-trick ponies. They also produced one of the favourite cartoons of my childhood, the outstanding Around the World With Willy Fog. My God, but that was a good show.

Incidentally, I totally reject the claims of the signal-to-noise-ratio-stapo who claim that [...]

Position analysis: Outfield (Part Two) (Intentional Balk)

Posted November 11, 2006 at 3:00 pm

Todd Linden has had an up-and-down career in the Giants organisation, but gets considerable support to start in right field next year. So let’s have a look at the man, and try and see whether it’s arglebargle or foofaraw.
Linden had a phenomenal 2005 in the PCL, mashing to the tune of .321/.437/.682… but. [...]

Doubleheader (Intentional Balk)

Posted November 10, 2006 at 1:41 am

As we all know, the quality of play drops a little in a doubleheader, and i’m afraid this is no exception. Inspector Gadget, Dangermouse, please take a bow. Definitely good shows, definitely flawed shows. Both suffered from being essentially constant in nature - at the end of the episode everything was back the way [...]

Position analysis: Outfield (Part One) (Intentional Balk)

Posted November 9, 2006 at 12:45 pm

The Giants essentially had four starting outfielders in 2006. And the performances were mixed.
Kal-El hit .270/.454/.545 in 367 ABs.
Bruce Wayne hit .301/.352/.571 in 345 ABs.
Lois Lame hit .262/.324/.396 in 573 ABs.
An inanimate carbon rod hit .246/.320/.394 in 426 ABs.
Basically, Barry and Moises hit like the stars they are, but [...]
