The Angels apparently just put all their new acquisitions like Giolito and Lopez and Grichuk on waivers along with a couple other guys

We should try to get Grichuk or Renfroe

@calsnowskier , I guess Haniger isn't special enough to get the 3rd spot in the order.

Clear show of disrespect. My sources are telling me he has already filed the paperwork to opt out after next season.

What a slap in the face to be forced to bat cleanup. Hasn't he shown enough to be in the prized lineup spot?

 

[msgkings322]

It's not just the creamsicle unis these guys just look so much better at home in general.

 

[LHG]

Cobb has thrown a decent game but he's at 98 pitches. I wonder if he comes back out in the 8th or Kapler starts a clean inning with someone else.

 

[LHG]

What are the chances that DeJong is around long enough for when Crawford comes back? And what is the likelihood that Crawford has already played his last game?

 

[msgkings322]

Can one of you guys tell me why DeJong is playing short instead of Luciano? Is he hurt?

With a 5 run lead you can take a chance

Luciano is on the 7 day IL with Sacramento. I don't clearly remember what he is dealing with but I think the talk was that he is pretty much done for the year.

Is there a limit on how many batter timeouts a team has per game? The Reds are asking for a lot recently.

 

[LHG]

Just now catching up on how the early part of the game went. Looks our offense took advantage of some miscues by the Reds but have absolutely nothing in innings 1 and 4 through 7.

 

[LHG]

Giants get to face two #foreverGiants in back to back innings.

 

[LHG]

Random thought - what are the chances that the Giants bring Bumgarner at the last game of the year and throw a back send off to both him and Crawford?

We are not the same, alt.
