I was just listening on the radio, but it seems like he battled. Tough second inning w 40+ pitches (I think). To still go 5 innings was good. If he could just figure out how to use less pitches and go 6 … 

Yep, 43 pitches in the second inning. It seemed to last about 2 1/2 hours.

Someone needs to remind Sandoval there's no crying in baseball.

Yep. The pitching was there but they just couldn't score runs.

Kind of hard when part of your lineup is a AAAA lineup

Score seven, give up nine. 
Give up two, score once.

Tickets are a buck on stubhub for the game today. 

Reminds me of back in the good 'ol days...my buddies and I would decide to go 30 mins before the game started. We'd spend less than $10 to get in for the 4 of us (after fees), $5 parking in the commercial building lot, walk up through the stadium parking lot chugging tall boys, and be sitting in our seats as the first pitch was thrown.

Oh, then we got to see a guy like Weaver or the dude below deal like a mother.

Be pissed that errors are being made behind you, hold those players accountable in between innings, then say, “fuck it, let’s pitch”.  

Fuggi less pish.

It works for some guys. Al Hrabosky, Kevin Brown, Kenny Rogers, Todd Stottlemeyre, Robb Dibble, all pitched angrily and pretty successfully.

Big ups for the Mad Hungarian reference.  Big fan as a kid.  My username on the ghetto board was AlHraboskysMoustache

trying to get more length out of him turns him into something he's not.  I say let him nibble and grind out 5 with good results consistently.  I'm of the mind you have to have a very good fastball if you're going to be effective AND efficient.  Sandoval's fastball is a secondary pitch.

I wonder if he’s ok when the fans embrace their anger when he sucks….
