Lead off double...

1-out juice...

NADA!

I hate baseball.

 

[calsnowskier]

When was the last time a team had a promo item for a player who hasn't played for the team in 25 years AND his number is not retired AND his number is actually used by a current player (kinda)?

Could this promo be any indication that the org is considering retiring his number?

Pence is hot garbage this year.

True. But there is a lot of talk that they will retire 25 next year...

bonds will eventually get in

don't see the giants retiring a non-haller (that said, i'm not sure what his hall status is)

Clark?

He is better than the respect he got from voters (his numbers are very comparable to Edgar, AND he played solid, if not GG D), but he will never be in the Hall.

no one has worn 25 since bonds, 22 has been worn by some of the most obscure giants ever (ricket fanyete?)

Rikkert, thank you very much. He was actually a nice fielding little outfielder.

Completely unworthy of #22, but a nice little #5 OF type...

maybe the giants should see if he's busy... we could always use another 5th outfielder

 

[calsnowskier]

How in the hell did I remember who Rikkert Faneyte was? Talk about obscure part-time Giants...

He was a AAAA player 25 years ago. It would be scary to see what he does today.

Or embarrassing to the current crop of Giants OFers.

autism awareness day.. will's son is autistic (broadcast just mentioned it)

 

[Stokes1931]

What is the point of having Hill on the roster? He's 35. He's hitting .178.

Sure would be nice to have some hitters.

And Craw and Pence today? 0-8, 6 K's, 9 LOB Ugh

 

[Stokes1931]

Twins' Turley will make his Major League debut vs. Giants

Odds on him pitching a shutout?

I was going to say - better than the odds of the team seeing over 100 pitches in the game. Then I noticed that the team actually saw 137 pitches today! That was more than the Twins (by 6 pitches). Too bad it didn't count for much.

Very good. He should feel very comfortable facing this lineup.

6 runs scored in the last 5 home games (0-5), and 3-9 in the last 12 overall. They make the subtle plays to lose games.

The Giants are 19-8 in games they score at least four runs and 6-31 in games they score three or fewer.
