A HIT WITH RISP!!!

 

[msgkings322]

Last time Giants scored over 4 runs was vs Oakland July 26 so hoping for another like that

 

[tzill]

Good early signs

 

[msgkings322]

Another hit with RISP!

 

[msgkings322]

At least a few of the teams chasing us have been really struggling lately: Reds, Marlins, Brewers

2 runs in 1 game?

Come on guys…. Save some bullets for the rest of the week…

Need more, Cobb not sharp so far.

Well, they are trying their best. And Cobb saw that they are scoring so he decided to relax a bit on the mound (which made tzill's spincter relax a bit in Australia).

Everything is reverse in AZ. I think that means his sphincter actually loosed.

I hope he brought the Depends…

Wow A's got umpjacked on that ball 4...I'll take it!

Need at LEAST 2 runs here with bases loaded no outs

 

[msgkings322]

There's one!

Looks like a high scoring game today. Gotta say I'd rather win this one 9-7 than 1-0.

 

[msgkings322]

That's two!

Crawford with the wheels LOL

 

[LHG]

Did you all know that, according to BBRef, Ryan Walker (0.8) has a higher WAR than Joc Pederson (0.7)?

 

[msgkings322]

Terrible AB for Matos, need a sac fly there

 

[LHG]

Is Matos the next guy to get sent down or do they let him and Bailey work out their batting issues in the bigs because of their gloves?

By the way, Bart has a .687 OPS in Sacramento. I think there is a reason he didn't get traded last month.

 

[LHG]

The Giants could have blown that inning wide open. Hey, at least they got 2. Baby steps.

Bailey isn't going ANYWHERE. It's not like he's unable to hit, he's just returning to Earth. He's likely the best fielding catcher in the league dude.

By the way, Bart has a .687 OPS in Sacramento. I think there is a reason he didn't get traded last month.

I could see them bringing him up as Sabol can play other positions. But Bart is not going to be replacing Bailey as primary catcher.

 

[msgkings322]

Defense FTW again

I don't see Bart coming up the rest of this season, unless there is a catching emergency and/or Bart gets hot with the bat.

By the way, Jackson Reetz is hitting the best of the 3 catchers on the AAA roster but he is playing more left field than he is catcher with the RiverCats.
