Off to watch the game and have lunch, be back in a bit....hope my absence = Giants runs

 

[calsnowskier]

Not a horrible 3-up, 3-down.

2 LONG fly-outs. Strasburg seems to be throwing heat, but it looks like the Giants may be seeing him well.

You know my hopes for Guppy will never be realized. He seems to think he is RIcky Henderson with HR power in the leadoff spot. His job in leading off is to get on base, which makes Panik a better hitter.

With no one on, Panik is hitting a respectable .285

With a runner on 1st, Panik is hitting a wonderful .393!

Why does a guy like Diaz get home plate duty in the play offs?

What would you have liked Blanco to do there? get to a 3-2 count? What if Stras is not throwing balls?

I think, IN THAT AB, Blanco did fine.

 

[calsnowskier]

Damn it!!

Werth should have been out.


BRING ON THE ROBOT HOME PLATE UMPIRE!!!!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Whoo. Avoid trouble but a long inning for Peavy

Fair enough. He hit it hard.

Edit:

Sorry, Stokes, I edited the wrong post...

 

[calsnowskier]

Stras is looking good

Of course, having Diaz and his magical-moving zone doesn't help...

 

[calsnowskier]

The Tigers just not learning that the bully is HUGELY important in the post-season.

Just gave up a 4-spot in the 8th to lose the lead...

No worries. Sometimes I hit edit instead of quote.

Go O's!!!!

The O's seem to have a helluva bully. As do the Royals.

Second inning in a row with a 3-2 walk with two outs

Yeah I don't like it. But is it just me or do the Nats look worried for some reason?

Edit: And the strikeout. No damage. Whew.

 

[Stokes1931]

Second inning in a row with a 3-2 walk with two outs

Pitches 1 and 4 sure looked like strikes.

Peavy at 40 pitches

Strasburg at 25 pitches

 

[1phlapdown]

Jake needs an 8 pitch inning, or 2.

Experience factor at play.

But can the experience overtake the talent? That is the key to this series.

PROOF THAT WE ARE GETTING UMP-JACKED!!
