Yaz out; Thai Row in. KB still on the bench...

 

[tzill]

Posey smashed that....atem ball.

 

[tzill]

This Gallen cat can pitch.

 

[tzill]

Third time through; we should be able to get to him.

 

[tzill]

Buster robbed again....he's been on these pitches.

 

[LHG]

This Gallen cat can pitch.

Yet he's gotten smacked around recently. Apparently, he is bouncing back.

 

[Stokes1931]

Gallen at 100 pitches, Suburban Jesus at the plate.

Time to score some runs, fellas!

The Giants have some really hard decisions to make in the next week or so. DeSclafani will be eligible to come off the IL on the 12th and both Belt and Moronta are progressing through their rehabs. It is conceivable that all three could be activated by the end of next week. So, the question is, barring any more injuries, which three players exit the active roster and who is the 40 man casualty (for Moronta's activation from the 60 day)? I would guess that Jackson is dfa'd to make room for Moronta. Estrada, despite his hitting, gets optioned to make room for Belt and either Slater or Duggar get optioned for DeSclafani.
Then comes Longoria. He hasn't started rehab but is supposed to soon. If everyone remains healthy, the team will need to make room for another spot on the 40 and 26 man rosters. Unless his hitting picks up, I think Dickerson may be the casualty, or maybe Solano. Of course, all of this is hypothetical. I would guess some phantom injuries will pop up on a rotating basis.

Donnie Barrels comes through!

Sounds about right.

7-1 good guys.

 

[tzill]

JJ pitched a solid 7th...I'm guessing that may be his final appearance.

 

[LHG]

I think pitchers have made adjustments to Steven Duggar.

Well at least he made them have to adjust, lol.
