GDT: Timmy-Picker-Upper @ Nats - 7/4-12

[filosofy29]

Happy 4th of July gents.

Go Bum Go!

 

[iHATEdodgers]

And the lineup:

Blanco CF
Burriss 2B
Cabrera LF
Posey C
Sandoval 3B
Belt 1B
Schierholtz RF
Crawford SS
Bumgarner P

Plus this: Bochy said Gregor Blanco was a candidate for a day off. He seems to be better after a good rest, as he showed with Tuesday’s three-hit night. He had been hitting .167 over his previous 15 games. But he played Blanco because of the swings he had Tuesday night. Plus, “It’s safe to say Angel is searching now.”

Nats fan here. I just wanted to ask a question. Why are they playing at 11:05am? Is this a makeup game that I do not remember.

Good luck gents! To a great game and no injuries

I have no idea. I was hoping maybe you knew if there was something going on in DC. The only thing some of the others thought of was that it would allow everybody to have the rest of their 4th of July to celebrate after the game.

Good luck 46.

 

[filosofy29]

Attaboy Blanco! Nice way to start off the game.

On a side note, Edwin, with that straight-brimmed hat is obviously a gangster with a record.

 

[iHATEdodgers]

That's the best hit Burris has had all season. Doh.

All of the parades and fireworks and stuff, that makes some sense.

 

[iHATEdodgers]

Well better than nothin.

 

[iHATEdodgers]

That also was better than nothin!

 

[filosofy29]

Pablo "no longer" Strandemall!!! That bobble by Zimmerman proves costly to the tune of 2 runs.

 

[ColinCoby]

Don't look now but...Craw batting .244.

His OBP still sucks, and probably always will. He's fine at the bottom of the order.

As many have said, with his excellent defense, if he can hit anywhere near .250 I would be happy.

Now about that excellent defense thing...

Tightening it up the glove, too (from what I'm seeing)


bear down here, Bum

 

[ColinCoby]

Well shit. Looked like it was going to be a very easy inning.

I think you're right (about the defense). Where's gp to use stats to prove us right (or wrong)?

and when I say from what I'm seeing, let me add that I catch half the games on the radio, lol



Huge AB here. C'mon Bum one more.

 

[SFAnthem]

That one hurt. All knotted up

 

[ColinCoby]

Damn. That was one heck of an AB by Desmond. Fights off some tough pitches, then singles up the middle on a breaking ball at the ankles.

 

[SFAnthem]

Giants had the 3 run lead when I jumped in this thread. Gonna excuse myself to change up the mojo
