Homers at San Francisco stadium were less frequent before Series
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Just mention Pacific Bell Park and what's the first image that comes to mind? Barry Bonds plopping balls into the water, of course.
Funny thing about that picture:
It's out of focus.
Believe it or not, there were fewer home runs hit at Pac Bell this year than any ballpark in the majors. And that's fine with the Giants as the World Series shifts to San Francisco for Game 3 tonight.
The Anaheim Angels and Giants already have combined to hit 11 homers, by far a record for the first two games of any World Series. After Tim Salmon connected twice Sunday night and sent the Giants to an 11-10 loss that left them with a split at Edison Field, they were eager to return home.
"For all the fans who like to see teams scoring runs and stuff, yeah, it was a great ballgame to watch," shortstop Rich Aurilia said.
"It's not the typical type of game you want to be involved in. We'd rather see a lower-scoring game."
"People who have never been to our park probably will be in for
a surprise at the kind of hitter's park it is. It's not much of one. So I don't think we'll see 21 runs scored," he said.
J. T. Snow, who has one of the Giants' seven homers, agreed.
"We'd like to get back to our park, play our style of game, keep some of those balls in the ballpark and see what happens," he said.
Right after Hall of Famer Willie Mays throws out the first pitch, the rules change as Pac Bell hosts its first Series game. No more designated hitter in the NL park, and the Giants like that a lot as the emphasis goes from longballs to small ball.
Minus DH Brad Fullmer, the Angels could be at a big disadvantage — the same scenario AL teams face each other when they go on the road in the World Series.
San Francisco figures to enjoy an edge on the mound and at the plate when Livan Hernandez pitches against Ramon Ortiz in Game 3.
Alongwithbeing6-0lifetimein the postseason, Hernandez
Hernandez is at 242 with 99 career hits, including four home runs and 39 RBIs. Plus he's put down 34 sacrifice bunts, 10 of them this season.
swings a pretty good bat.
Ortiz is another story. He's 0-for-14 lifetime, with five strikeouts and no successful bunts.
"We do have a bit of an advantage with the pitchers. Our pitchers are used to hitting and bunting," Giants manager Dusty Baker said. "Now we're going back to play National League ball."
"I don't really anticipate 11-10 in our ballpark," he said.
Oh, there was that game at Pac Bell last Aug. 6: Giants 11, Cubs 10.
But Baker's point was made. Other than that Cubs-Giants affair, there weren't any games in San Francisco this year when the teams totaled more than 17 runs.
That's OK with Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia, who learned his strategy in the NL while catching 13 seasons for Los Angeles.
The Angels reflected that style in the first two games. They aggressively ran the bases, including Fullmer stealing home, tried to hit-and-run and bunted.
"We're not always going to pound the ball," Scioscia said.
Hurricanes top polls,but BCS picks Oklahoma in first ranking
Miami is No. 1 just about everywhere but where it counts most — in the Bowl Championship Series standings.
The Associated Press
The Hurricanes, No. 1 since the preseason in the AP media and coaches' polls, were second behind Oklahoma in the first
BCS standings released yesterday. And look who's third—Notre Dame!
Thanks to friendly computer ratings and a schedule rated toughest in the nation, the Fighting Irish are in position to make a run at the national championship.
The BCS standings are used to determine which teams play in a national title game. The teams that finish 1-2 in the final BCS standings on Dec. 8 will play for the title in Tempe, Ariz., at the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3.
Notre Dame may be No. 6 in the AP poll, but the Fighting Irish were ranked first by four of the seven computers used by the BCS. Only the top six rankings are used in the BCS calculations
The best the Hurricanes could do in the computers was one second-place ranking. Miami's strength of schedule was rated 27th, but it will get stronger with upcoming games against Tennessee and Virginia Tech.
The Holks were fourth, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, Washington State, Michigan, LSU and Texas. The first six teams are undefeated.
The BCS formula uses the AP media and
coaches' polls, the computer polls, strength of schedule, won-loss record and a bonus-point system.
New this year is the elimination of margin of victory from the computer ranking process.
For the second straight year, Oklahoma starts out in first place. The Sooners, 6-0 after a 49-3 win over Iowa State, had 3.92 points — 2 for poll average, 1.50 for computer-rank average, 0.52 for strength-of-schedule, zero for losses and a one-tenth of a point bonus deduction for a victory over Texas.
Miami had 6.41 points — 1 for poll average, 4.53 for computer average, 1.08 for strength of schedule, zero for losses and no bonus-point deduction.
Notre Dame had 7.07 points -6 for poll average, 1.33 for computer average, 0.04 for strength of schedule and three-tenths of a point bonus deduction for a win over Michigan.
Virginia Tech was at 8.63, Georgia at 8.69 and Ohio State at 8.89.
The bonus award is based on a sliding scale from 1.0 points for beating a first-place team down to .1 for a win over the 10th-place team. Last year, the sliding scale started at 1.5 points.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says the standings don't matter - yet.
The BCS standings will be released each Monday throughout the season.
"It's too early right now for us to care one way or the other." Stoops said. "What we do care about is winning. We're going to keep our focus and total concentration on winning the Big 12 South first."
