We really need a win. We've lost 3/4

The Giants promoted David Villar, who might be limited to first base on this roster, rather than another middle infielder. With LaMonte Wade Jr.'s struggles at the plate, Villar could get some at-bats at first base, especially against LHP.

Chasey is on the DL?

I always like Villar, at as much as I can remember.

Conceivable he could also spell Chappy, right?

Any move to give a push to or break for Wade is a good move.

The shot from behind home plate sucks here. I never noticed that before.

I will take bad camera obstructions if we get 2-run 1st inning leads to go with it.

Can you order up a few more?

Logan Webb must be like wtf was this?

 

[stanford the manford]

I'm getting jaded.... anytime Wilmer makes solid contact I expect a dinger

 

[msgkings322]

Roupp is dealing so far

Roupp is dealing so far

His curve is other worldly.

Just caught the camera on Angels dugout... no idea Ron Washington was still managing. Angels may be the most obscure team in MLB, although the A's seem hell bent on taking that mantle

 

[calsnowskier]

It’s early, so don’t read too much into this, but…

WTF, Adames? You suck.

 

[stanford the manford]

Trout is a beast. BIL has season tix at Chavez Ravine, 4th row right in back of the catcher. We usually attend a game a year and more often then not it's agains the Angels. Up close Trout is huge and he explodes out of the batter's box. For a really big guy he's quick, bat and legs. Gotta admire his commitment to the Angels, but it's a shame he's not been on a bigger stage

 

[calsnowskier]

JHL needs a better fitting helmet. That thing is coming off after every twitch he makes.

 

[stanford the manford]

So maybe don't pitch to Trout a 3rd time

 

[Stokes1931]

Roupp with a strong 7 innings (save for two pitches to Trout).

Well done, young man!

 

[msgkings322]

What a performance by Roupp. The pen needs to bring it home.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants haven't had a hit since the 4th inning. Time to wake up the bats!

 

[Stokes1931]

A hit!?!? Can you believe it?!?

 

[msgkings322]

I had zero expectations we would score any more. But I did expect Rogers to dominate and now I expect Walker to. We have the best pen in the NL and this is where the most common score needs to happen again
