I like Panik in the leadoff spot, but Craw batting #2?

Stratton is stepping up...

I like this new Giants' pitcher. Who is he? He's doing a fantastic job. :P

edit: until he walks the .157 hitter

Why is Noggin keeping him in past 100 pitches? No wonder the Giants lead the league in allowing inherited runners to score, they keep waiting until two or three are in scoring position before bringing in the hapless pen.

The IR's don't score!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Never mind.....

1st and 3rd and no outs. Runs coming.


edit: We'll take the SF.

Sac Fly better than nothing, I suppose. We've had a lot of the "nothing" this season.

At least this season is less painful to me than last season. Man, I thought those gut punches would never end.

 

[Stokes1931]

Strickland and the Nationals. Always a volatile combination.

We have had the gut punches this year, we just saw them coming so they didn't hurt as much. Last year was almost worse than '93.

If Stratton is a legit ML back of rotation guy....

He looks serviceable. Journeyman SP/long guy...

Nice to have around as a backup plan, but if you are PLANNING for him to be in your rotation, you likely are not a contender.

One time through the lineup in the nightcap...this Scherzer kid might have a future.

 

[1phlapdown]

Gs fight back...

Great throw by Taylor...hope Dozens doesn't have to go to the 7 day DL...

That looked rough. He isn't still in the game, though, so it is looking good so far.

High probability he is traded in the off season, so we need him to avoid the DL the rest of the year.

 

[calsnowskier]

How pissed are the Red Sox?
