Game Thread: 4.12.18 Giants @ Padres

[LHG]

Panik - 2b
Belt - 1b
McCutchen - rf
Posey - c
Longoria -3b
Crawford - ss
Pence - lf
Blanco - cf
Stratton - sp

Going up against the guy the Padres felt was worth bringing back Headley for. Well, I hope that his no-hitter at least gets broken up in the 9th inning.

Hey, it didn't even take that long

Maybe my memory is off, but Crawford batting ahead of Pence is a first this season? I know there's been like two right-handers they've faced so far but I believe Pence has been batting 6th most of the time.

 

[SFGRTB]

Atta kid Pence!

It worked!

We have 5 walks in 2 innings. Not sure where we are projected now for the year but can the 'we never take walks' meme die now, after today and getting like 7 the other day?

Well, no one was mentioning it until you brought it back up . . .
It does help that Mitchell seems to issue free passes like the batters are trick or treaters on Halloween. However, the Giants have still been too aggressive with pitchers in the past with similar profiles so it is nice to see some patience. Hopefully, they keep that going. It will be nice to see the offense start to even out their horrid start.

Fuckin Pence. Blanco better cash him in.

 

[SFGRTB]

That was a heck of a play from Hedges

I've been following loosely while in the office 16 hours a day...but I did wander into the training room to see Shark bunt into a DP....and hey! Nice DP pick by Stamos!!

 

[tzill]

that play by Hedges is as about as good a defensive play you're going to see all year from a catcher.

wow...

(still, awful AWFUL bunt by Shark).

In 11 games, the Giants have zero walks in four of them. And have won one and lost three of the games.

 

[Stokes1931]

That's a terrific defensive play!

I'm just saying, I doubt the Giants walk any less then many teams after getting 12 in two games

It was!

Stratton's first shaky moment...

 

[msgkings322]

Attaboy Stratton

 

[SFGRTB]

That was a long half-inning. It may have chased him from the game
