Just a tidbit, Giants have signed Bryan Morris to a minor league deal, per Melancon's conference call. Evans said it was a non-roster invitee. He had some decent numbers. Don't know much more about him aside that Im hoping he's one of those gems this organization tends to find for the pen.
We just signed the guy on my wish list as well as Melancon spilling the beans on Giants signing Brian Morris to a minor league deal, so the re-tooling of the pen is starting to take place. Having that anchor for the 9th allows Law to slide into a set up role along with Will Smith, with...
They did it the way we all dream it to be, with a great young nucleus and solid, productive vets. A team that hit with power and pitched with power.
Cheers to all the Cubs fans out there. Enjoy!
Which to me was frustrating because we didn't trade away a blue chip to have Smith pitch as a LOOGY. When I heard he was coming to us, my first thought was "Sweet! Someone to take Affeldt's place in the pen!" Instead, he was used as Lopez v2.0 and as our bullpen was imploding the last couple...
Random thought, but any thoughts to using Cain in the pen, 7th/8th inning guy? I know he's been a starter and his velocity seemed up before hitting the DL but he lacks the ability to get twice through the lineup before crooked numbers become plentiful. So why not use him as a reliever in a...
Interesting little tidbit from Bum, dude just handles stress differently then most.
Madison Bumgarner Had the Weirdest Reaction Ever to Game-Winning Home Run
I take 100% of the credit and none of the blame. I just got home, fired up the ol' cpu, checked into ESPN GameCast in time to follow Gonor and Cueto's ABs. You are welcome.
Oh, so your team does something this year that they have already been doing with the same talent and Roberts is immortal? Let's wait until the playoffs are done before going apeshit.
When she told me she was a Dodgers fan...I responded by telling her that I FINALLY found her first flaw. I already knew she was a bad decision maker, she agreed to go out with me.
I will be frequenting the Giants game tonight with my two daughters and wife for my belated Father's Day gift. My girls (ages 3 and 1) are decked out in Giants gear, but my wife is stubborn and wearing her Dodgers shit...I'll be rocking my orange throwback jersey, in case anyone sees us on TV...
Wilhoite and Hodges are redundant IMO. Both are ok against the run without the athleticism to be able to work in space well enough to be considered even average in pass defense. This is a scary proposition unless we plan on running a 3-3-3 with Tartt coming up as a run stopper/3rd safety.
My understanding (I read it somewhere last year) is that they had him throwing primarily off-speed stuff and tried to develop BOTH the cutter and sinker in an attempt to speed up the comfortability and effectiveness of his secondary pitches. The Giants KNEW he had a plus plus fastball and plus...
