Almost exactly my ideal lineup. Nunez has been playing well, so I have no prob with him getting additional PT.

I wonder if Bochy will rotate Nunez, Ruggiano and Williamson between the two corner spots until Pence returns.

Ruggiano's been swinging the bat well... surprised he's not in the starting line up

I think Mac will be in every day. We gotta know what we got with him. This is his time.

I think Span, Ruggiano and Nunez will rotate with Span playing the most, Ruggiano playing the least. I think they need to see what Ruggiano can do in center, and if he is average or better, Gorkys is DMW.

That was am impressive comeback from Cainer

 

[SFGRTB]

What the fuck is up with that group of doyer fans in RCF?!

 

[SFGRTB]

Fun facts about Mac Williamson, he had the hardest hit ball, highest average exit velocity on all balls, and highest average exit velocity on Line drives/fly balls on the team last year. It wasn't a very big sample size, but the ball tends to jump off his bat.

He was sandwiched between Josh Donaldson and Joc Pederson as the 10th highest in MLB in the latter category, Justin Bour and Albert Pujols as the 30th highest in MLB in the middle category, and Manny Machado and Ryan Rua as the 14th highest in MLB in the former category.

 

[SFGRTB]

And he starts off with a base knock. Stay hot, kid

Exit velocity: 109.5, which is higher than his average last year. Granted it was a ground ball, but still a rocket.

 

[SFGRTB]

The Giants looked like a baseball team there......

 

[LHG]

Almost exactly my ideal lineup. Nunez has been playing well, so I have no prob with him getting additional PT.

Nunez was swinging the bat well the first week of May. However, his month slash of .261/.286/.312 is very backup middle infielder (or elite defensively starting middle infielder) like.

 

[LHG]

Cain will be lucky to make it 5 innings with that pitch count.

Edit: Although that double play could help him get 6.

 

[LHG]

Joe Panik has been cold the month of May. He is slashing .240/.264/.300. That's worse than Nunez.

Baseball is so weird...all year we couldn't catch a break....now look at those crazy plays going our way

Like!

 

[SFGRTB]

This is the "keep the line moving" lineup we've had in our good years. Let's keep it up now

 

[SFGRTB]

Wow..... the dodgers looks like the Giants lmao

 

[stanford the manford]

this team is completely different with craw in the line up

 

[stanford the manford]

keystone dodgers... love it

 

[1phlapdown]

Let's get the man home from 3rd....

And Span too, when he's productive like this. Having a legit leadoff guy makes every other batter slot better.
