One of the few pleasures we get this year is having JC pitch.

Is Yaz for real? I tend to think not, but what do you guys think?

 

[calsnowskier]

Dubon, I think, IS for real. Not an all-star, necessarily, but a solid starter.

Yep

I love when Belt does that. Sure, it neutralizes his power FOR THAT AB, but it opens the field for his NEXT AB.

 

[calsnowskier]

And that was a beautiful bunt, as well.

Cueto+Co throwing goose eggs.


Edit. My internal Colin is rearing its head. Crap.

Dude, your inner Colin has been around long enough to know!

What can be said with impunity is that our hitters absolutely stink.

 

[Stokes1931]

Just great! More runners in scoring position. Giants are now 13-100 in September with RISP.

 

[Stokes1931]

Good grief. Bases loaded one out, and Vogt goes strike 1, strike 2, strike 3, sit down.

 

[Stokes1931]

Was just going to say the only way the Giants score here is a WP or a balk. LOL

Gerber had a solid year at AAA, but is woefully overmatched at this level.

 

[calsnowskier]

 

[calsnowskier]

Yup...

Gerber is none-good

 

[1phlapdown]

A freakin win. Smith not too rusty.

Is jc lookin good, or what?


Edit. I’m pulling for Atlanta to get HFA vs dogs, and they get SO today. Grrr

 

[calsnowskier]

The dogs are 6 div wins in a row with no Championships (this year will be their 7th in a row).

The Braves were 13 in a row with 1 Championship.



Just sayin’...

Are you calling him the offensive D-Rod for 2019?

He just strikes me as a 4th OFer having an amazing year. Think Andres Torres.

His D is good, not great. His power doesn’t blow you away, it is amplified by the league-wide conditions. His hit tool isn’t amazing. He is gritty and hard nosed.

All traits of a solid 4th OFer. Maybe Aaron Rowand when he was with the Phils.

Damn. but yeah.

We don't get rookies hitting 20hr in 96 gms very often. That's like a 30hr full season. Yeah maybe he'll have a sophomore jinx. Maybe not.
