Game Thread: 05.29.18 Oh yay, a struggling starter vs. Freeland

[LHG]

Hernandez - cf
Posey - c
McCutchen - rf
Longoria - 3rd
Belt - 1st
Williamson - lf
Crawford - ss
Tomlinson - 2nd
Samardzija - sp

Interesting to see Posey in the 2 hole. But why McCutchen hitting 3? I'd much rather see them flipped, put Belt in the 4 spot, Crawford number 5 and Longoria 6th, followed by Williamson, Tomlinson and Samardzija.

It should be noted that Gorkys is 6 for 12 against Freeland. Considering his hot bat, I would not be surprised for a big night from him.

We've waited long enough.

They are trying Cutch at 3 since he has history there. They are doing anything to try to get him rolling.

Damn he sucks. I don't know why we over paid this guy. How much longer is this bum gonna be on the team killing the cap space? 2 more years I think.

If Suarez is a pitcher not quite ready for the big leagues (as the chatter has been going recently), then what is Samardzija?

A has been pitcher who might need to switch to an outfielder in the minors

He did allow only 2 runs in the 1st inning. There may be hope . . . for 5 innings tonight.

Not when Boch, Grech and Young are talking to him. And now Young on the phone to the pen.

Well, that makes the decision on who to send down for Bum easier...

 

[calsnowskier]

Did he just break a bat over his knee?

 

[SFGRTB]

Well.... go get em' kid!

Chris Stratton?

 

[calsnowskier]

Is pudge in the stands?

 

[SFGRTB]

Even NBC Sports Bay Area spells it "Snelton"

He's apparently still in South America

 

[calsnowskier]

He is taking a while to warm up here...

 

[LHG]

Interesting. ESPN has Bumgarner starting Tuesday, June 5th against Arizona. The rotation listed from there is Holland, Stratton, Blach and Samardzija. They got the last name wrong.

That one really bothers you...

[calsnowskier]

Retire now, kid.
