Duggar - rf
Austin - 1b
Pillar - cf
Belt - lf
Longoria - 3b
Crawford - ss
Solarte - 2b
Kratz - c
Pomeranz - p

Good to see Austin getting some playing time, but I'm still confused about the defensive configuration when he plays. I would think the defense would be better suited with Belt at 1st and Austin in left.

 

[LHG]

Guys who hit well against Corbin:
Pillar - 2 for 6
Crawford - 11 for 40 with 2 home runs (but 16 Ks!)
Solarte - 6 for 16

 

[LHG]

I know this may shock tzill, but looking at this lineup, I'd rather Pillar hit 4th. He's shown a lot of pop (and nothing else, offensively). He seems best suited in that spot. No one really deserves to hit 3rd but Belt is the best hitter on the team, so I'd just flip the two or maybe move him to the 2 spot and put Austin in the 3rd hole.

maybe it has to do with his injury? they said something about him not being able to throw

I forgot about that. Normally, I'd question why he wasn't just put the il but, considering this team's set of bats . . .

 

[Stokes1931]

Still no first inning runs this season.

Hey, this team is special! It is full of veteran presence. How can you not expect records to fall with this team?

 

[tzill]

PomPom channeling his inner Samardija/Holland.

This rotation is just...not...good.

Shocking, but at least Longoria just broke up the no-hitter.

Also, can't blame Bochy for getting ejected and not wanting to stick around for the rest of this snooze fest.

Can't blame him at all. Poopturdjia, Hollcrap, and Pomergag were foisted on him. They all have high coefficients of suckisitude.

This team is special alright. The one win quota has been matched for this series, so time to just phone this one in, especially considering the lousy 10:05 AM PDT game time.

Yup. Nice walk, Pomergag.

I'm turning this one off. Get 'em tomorrow.

I'm not sure Bochy doesn't take blame for that. I would assume that he was consulted on at least the first two.

Do you literally not even care about how the Giants hit? Seriously, not joking, would you be happy if they lose 120 games but only give up like 500 runs?

 

[LHG]

Highlights from the offense - Duggar walks and Longoria hits a double. Well, at least Longoria can say he's been responsible for breaking up two no-hitters in the past week.

If only we had better pitching

Longoria is the Giants offensive offense's star of the week.

Which isn't saying much.

Like William F Buckley used to say, that's like being the tallest building in Wichita.

Seriously, who is the hitting coach, Wendy Torrance?
