Did you know that the Rockies are leading the Giants in 10 of 11 offensive categories?

[El Supremo]

TEAM............GP......AB......R.......H........2B........3B......HR......TB......RBI.....BA.....OBP....SLG....OPS

Colorado..........76......2552....389.....664.....149.....19......92......1127....371......260.....340.....442.....781
San Francisco..75......2539.....305.....663.....139.....15......51.......985....286......261.....313.....388.....700

Frisco does have a 1 percentage point better team batting average.

Now these kind of stats really mean something.

1. Attendance trumps all of that, silly!

[Upton]

2. Here's what trumps it..

Team ERA

Giants .361 (tied for the ML lead)

Rockies .445 (a rather lackluster 21st)

[El Supremo]

3. The Giants just don't know how to hit homers without Barroid...

or steroids.

Rox 92. Gnats 51.

[Upton]

4. The Giants don't need HRs

besides leading the Rockies in ERA, they lead in complete games (2nd in MLB), shutouts (#1 in MLB), strikeouts (#1 in MLB), runs allowed (#1 in MLB) and opposition BA (#2 in MLB).

In fact, if you go strictly by the numbers, the Giants have the best pitching staff in the majors...and as we all know, particularly you being a Rockies fan, PITCHING, not hitting, wins championships.

[El Supremo]

5. A whole 2 complete games?

:rofl:

We'll see if batting beats somewhat good pitching on July 24th - 26th.

[Upton]

6. Don't know what you're looking at

but the Giants have 7 CGs...Here here's a link to the MLB team pitching stats

7. This coming from the expert on Championships! How many have you seen?

Four? In Oakland!

:rofl:

[Upton]

8. Just stating the facts mad

and the numbers say the Giants have the best pitching staff in MLB...laugh all you want.

Oh, BTW the Giants, in Lincecum and Cain, have 2 out of the top 3 ERA leaders in the NL.

[inthebrain]

9. Yeah, maybe he should tell it to the Phillies

They won last year with a horrible pitching staff.

[Upton]

10. I don't know that Phillies fans would appreciate that

and it doesn't line up with the facts...Phillies PITCHER Cole Hamels was MVP of both the NLCS and WS.

And the Phillies were 6th in MLB in ERA..

It appears, the sudden downturn in the Chokers fortunes has affected your memory.

11. Don't bother arguing, upton

As a friend of mine once said "Never argue with an idiot (outthebrain) It brings you down to his level and he'll win from experience"

[cboy4]

12. A "horrible" pitching staff

:rofl:
