And there goes the cushion.

Core-four not so core anymore...

I'm listening to Vin and the way home from work and he said Bum was under the weather yesterday with the flu. These guy do get flu shots don't they?

Is that going to be the excuse every time he doesn't pitch lights out?

JA = retired
JLo = ineffective
Romo = DL? Hurt, anyway
KCYa = last one standing

 

[SFGRTB]

Josich!

Its looking like this should be Lopez' last year with the team.

 

[calsnowskier]

But the kids are really showing that they belong.

I expect Romo, KCYa and Lopez to all be gone next year, and I think our bully will be improved for it.

Heck, One or two of them may not make it through this year (not DFAs, but rather 60-day stints).

All three will be gone.

But damn, that was one hell of a run for a bully. How often do you see 6-7 years of bully stability?

Be nice to see a Giant homer this inning.

Longest homer-less streak of the season for our boys...

What ever happened to to the pitch clock?

 

[Stokes1931]

All baby Giant teams lost today, or are losing. Well pitched game in Richmond and in Augusta. Joan Gregorio went 6 with 2 hits, no runs, no walks, 7 K's. At Augusta, Grant Watson went 5, three hits, one run, no walks, 6 K's.

Baez using the sun dial. Or the calendar.

RISP 4-16

Arroyo played 3rd base for the first time this year, second time in his career.

Seriously.

He reminds me of the guy we had a couple years back (forgot his name - former closer for the dbacks)

Good that he gets experience at different positions, but does this indicate a little frustration over Duffys icy start?

 

[SFGRTB]

Well, shit.

Gutierrez. God that was awful.

 

[calsnowskier]

Fu fyww...

Time for the kids to take critical positions.

I think it's more indicative that he get's PT at as many positions as possible, potentially to be a useful player sometime soon (not like this month soon, but maybe at some point this year).
