Sergio Romo must be lonely

 

[Stokes1931]

He's been a fantastic scrap heap pickup so far for us. Good pop and size (6'2" 215)

He's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too young to be a 2B with the Giants.

 

[Stokes1931]

Nice to get leads so our pitchers can challenge hitters, throw strikes, and keep the walks down.

2014 MLB Team Pitching Stats - Major League Baseball - ESPN

We have allowed the fewest walks of any team in the NL right now, just 12 in 7 games.

Good stat, but don't go all Colin on us here.

 

[Stokes1931]

Huddy with the PBF to end the sixth, and his second consecutive QS. So far so good! Great signing.

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt now 0 for his last 2 at bats.

 

[ColinCoby]

Belt now 0 for his last 2 at bats.

And the Giants haven't scored since the 5th...

 

[SFGRTB]

2 pitchers have finished the 7th inning so far this season, both Tim Hudson.

 

[ColinCoby]

I'm surprised Hudson is out there for the 8th.

I see a nit, so I must pick...


Giants 1-3 in SDI opportunities today.

This is becoming a minor problem. It has not hurt us yet, but it has the potential to be a killer.

 

[calsnowskier]

Also...

The Giants have not been able to hold on to their blow-outs. The have been in blow-out territory in most games, but only held on to one (I am not looking this up, so there may have been another that snuck in there).

 

[Stokes1931]

Not sure why Hudson is out there to start the 8th. Almost 100 pitches. Give it to the bullpen.

Aren't they 2-3 in SDI? Even so, this has been an issue early in the season, as they are around 60%, and should be around 80%.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Day off for the bullpen and Hudson was still out there for the 8th? Hmm

 

[ColinCoby]

I guess I jinxed Hicks.

0-3 3 Ks

Old habits die hard. On the field and on SportsHoopla.

Hicks really needs to face mostly lefties, whom he lights up.

Not according to MLB.

We scored in the bot of the first, they scored in the top of the second.
We scored in the bottom of the third, they scored in the top of the forth.
We scored in the bottom of the fifth, SDI in the top of the sixth.

 

[SFGRTB]

Ballgame!

Giants win 7-3 behind Tim Hudson and more power from Brandon Belt!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Power? check

Pitching? check

No walks? check

Defense? 1 error

Scoring first? check

Two out RBI? 4 of 'em

First game of a series? win

Me like this.
