long?"Bochysaid."Wewish we could've maintained where we were. But it's hard to do that when you're not taking series." Doing what it took to win a series? That trumped hurting anyone's feelings. Samardzija smoothed dirt with his feet and con- ferred with infielders as Bochy went over the work- ings of a double switch with plate umpire Cory Blaser. You could not blame the right-hander for being up- set, or at the least, sur- prised. Sure, Samardzija had a 6.30 ERA over his previ- ous 12 starts and served up 16 homers over that span. He had become unreliable on his day. But he also was in the midst of a much-im- proved start in which he generated contact outs and did not allow an extra-base hit. The defense helped him through the second inning, when Marcell Ozuna and Derek Dietrich hit consec- utive one-out singles. Left fielder Angel Pagan alertly scooped the ball and fired to second base, catching Di- etrich trying to stretch his hit. Samardzija took it from there, getting Ichiro Su- zuki to ground out to sec- ond base with the infield in. Then he struck out J.T. Real- muto in a nine-pitch, fast- ball-heavy confrontation that included eight strikes. The lion's mouth opened wider in the fifth after Ichiro singled, Realmuto walked and Marlins man- ager Don Mattingly fired the biggest shell at his dis- posal. Giancarlo Stanton, who didn't start because of hip soreness, took a rip at a 3-1 slider away and flied out to center field. "Locate one bad pitch and you're looking at a hole in the wall," Samardzija said. "I was just going to see if I could get him swing- ing at something he wasn't looking for." Giants FROMPAGE1 something that everybody can understand," said Co- maneci, who posted seven 10s in Montreal. "We are gymnastic family and we kind of know what's going on but everybody who loves gym and kids who are new to sport and they are fans, they don't quite understand the changes in the sport." The new system divided scoring into two parts. One — the 'D' score — is based on what you do. The other — the 'E' score — is how well you do it. Gymnasts build their 'D' score throughout the routine by connecting one element to the other. The more connections, the higher the score. Yet the more you do, the more likely you are to get sideways at some point, dropping your execution score. A little complicated, right? At the elite level, a good 'D' score starts at 5.0 and can reach 7.0. The 'E' score is set on a 10.0 format. Technically perfection is at- tainable. It's just that no routine has been awarded a 10.0 since the new system was introduced. The closest the sport gets these days is Biles on vault, where her Amanar — a round off onto the block followed by 2 twists — is unequaled. During U.S. Championships last spring, she landed it dead center of the mat with an almost im- perceptible hop. The judges gave her a 16.3, including a 9.9 for execution. What exactly was the problem? Well, U.S. national team coordinator Martha Karolyi has a theory. "Guts," Karolyi said with a laugh. "Perfection is re- ally very hard but I think on the other hand that the FIG a little bit intimidates the judges and educates them in a style that they are afraid to give higher scores." Biles won't quite go that far. Asked if she remembers where she might have erred and she shrugged her shoul- ders and laughed. "My toes might have been crossedmaybe,"shesaid,her tone making it sound more like a guess than a fact. Gymnasts FROM PAGE 1 ball, I think has helped Am- ari and Crab and made that offensive unit better," David Carr said. Like many, one of Da- vid Carr's biggest concerns is making sure the Raiders defense finds replacements for the leadership roles once assumed by Charles Wood- son and Justin Tuck. "You've got to find that somewhere," David Carr said. "Hopefully young guys like Khalil (Mack), having Bruce (Irvin) and Reggie and Sean, those guys will help on defense, so it's ex- citing." • The rookie finally got him. It took until Day 11 of camp, but Karl Joseph re- corded his first intercep- tion in team drills when he leaped high in the air to pick off Derek Carr in the end zone. "Finally," Carr joked. "Great player. Karl is a great player. I'm excited that he's on our team and healthy. He looks great. He's going to be a great player." The interception came during red zone work and it was such an athletic play that Carr didn't have a ton of issues with it, even if he does loathe turning over the ball. "He jumps five feet off the ground and snags it 10 feet off the air," Carr said. "I'm good with that, because I know that I don't have to throw against him." • Carr knows he won't play a ton in Friday's game, but he's still approaching it the same as any other con- test.
