Game Thread: 4/17 Wood at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Easter Sunday

[Mays-Fan]

Baseball is super fun when the SPs don't crap the mound.

And we score some runs. Maybe we can sneak Beede in there?

The Hebrew is hitting a quiet .381

Just sayin...

Check back in with us at the end of May…

DigDug...the rout is on.

6-0

Long needs work as well

79 pitches for Wood through 5. While not a big number (I think he can go one more), Kap has pulled Disco with less.

Who gets the lion’s share of work at 2B when La Stella gets back?

Are the Giants better than we thought of am I just getting fooled by a small sample size?

 

[calsnowskier]

With a 6 run lead, Kap can give Wood a longer leash

The pitching is showing to be slightly better than what we expected, but within the margin of error. The hitting is doing approx what they did last year.


I can’t explain it, but I think we really are this good.


I don’t understand baseball anymore.

HAHAHAHA. Up 6-0, and Duggar swipes second. Here we go!

Isn't that what we asked this time last year too?

I'm more concerned about Wood's longer term endurance at this point.

It feels weird to not miss a beat without Posey. But we did bring in bats (Pederson, Bart) and Bart seems to have really grown behind the plate. Won't replace Posey but the drop off maybe isn't too bad.

Miller might be Woods last batter.

After 9 games last year? It was mid year when we all started wondering if the winning was real or a mirage, turned out to be real.

107 again isn't happening, that was pretty flukey. But I had them at low 90s like 92-94 wins but now maybe 100 is in play?

Careful. Bart has 22 ABs, and 13 Ks. That doesn't project well. 260 Ks?

Yeah that's not great. The announcers today mentioned how swing and misses are up for the team this year and all I thought was welcome to the club Bart and Pederson lol

Wow...Littell gets it done.

Way to pick up Lumber.

6-0 good guys.

I’m glad he did it. It “proves” that what happened in that game is actually how the Giants will be playing this year.

Bart doesn’t have (and couldn’t possibly have, at this point in his career) Posey’s leadership qualities. But he maybe AT LEAST comparable, offensively. We will about his defense, but it will be very hard to expect Bart’s defense to anywhere close to Posey’s.
