Ladies and gentlemen, today's lineup is brought to you courtesy of the CA Lotto. Hey, if this lineup can be created, you could win millions.
Hernandez - cf
Tomlinson - lf
Belt - 1st
Posey - c
Pence - rf
Crawford - ss
Hundley - dh
Hwang - 3rd
Panik - 2nd
Samardzija - sp

The A's lineup consists of one hitter batting .275 or better, one more batting .250 or better and a bunch of guys hitting at or below .240. Someone stole the Giants and inserted them into the A's lineup. And the Giants will still lose this one.

After the stellar lineup gives Scrabble a one run lead, the bullpen will come in and allow all six inherited runners to score. After that, the Giants will hit into 7 double plays.

What will Scrabble do with such a bounty of early runs?

Apparently, he won't know what to do and give up a double and single before getting an out.

edit: I didn't see Joyce got thrown out at 3rd on his double. No wonder the single didn't drive in a run.

So much for the SDI

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey with two RBI's in two chances with RISP.

Heck, at this rate, he may finish the season with 60 RBI.

 

[Stokes1931]

0-2 in SDI

Scrabble with two walks in two innings tonight.

Now six.

Wow! That's been the total of a good week this season.

Some teams spreading their scoring out over a week to increase their chances of winning more games. The Giants try to take care of all the scoring in one game.

I was going to complain about Gomez not playing as the DH, but of course Hundley produces.

Those teams are obviously idiots, why would you lower chances to win multiple games when you can raise your chance to win one game. DUMB

It is pretty incredible how much Bochy loves Gorkys. Like, Bochy's always had his "guys" that just get a ton of free passes, but why him?

Isn't this what we talk about, letting kids play for a while and not just giving up after a few weeks?

Yes totally, and that's my qualm. Why did he pick Gorkys, a guy who's not great defensively, has good wheels but doesn't know how to use them, and is pretty much a singles hitter. And is 29 years old.
