6. Brandon Crawford (L) SS

Duffman sits. Gs 3-18 v. Bradley. Joey Dozens with a couple of hits. Owings/Segura with PV ownage.

We are going to need to hit tonight. Worm those worming worms. 7-4 good guys.

Glad to see Duffy get a breather. He needs it. Also, KT needs a game where he can get his feet back under him.

I expect the Giants to add Lee in the next few days. Evans was on KNBR this AM and they talked about roster shuffling. While the idea was pushed by Gary and Larry, Evans seemed to agree with the thought that the team needs another infielder on the roster right now.

Specifically, Lee, Pena and Green were mentioned. Pena just got a concussion in the last couple days, so he is out. Green is more of a corner infielder at this point, so he is not ideal for their needs. He specifically pointed out Lee as a potential good fit.

I believe that Lee is outhitting Green right now as well so Lee seems the most likely choice. I'm glad to see Law do so well in his debut but I still don't see why that needed to happen when the infield is banged up and slumping.

Lee makes a lot of sense right now. They called up Mac because they needed a body, but wanted more time to mull the corresponding roster shuffle. And Mac didn't even play. No point in keeping him up here right now when he could get full-time PT in Sac.

 

[calsnowskier]

No Bueno.

 

[calsnowskier]

I didn't realize Matty was back with the snakes. When did that happen?

 

[Stokes1931]

We were kind of hoping for a better start from Peavy.....

Gotta love the double digit ERA.

 

[calsnowskier]

Coming into today, the Giants have been out scored 10-4 in the first inning.

 

[SFGRTB]

Lot's going on tonight in the Bay Area. Giants are probably 3rd on the watch list.

C'mon, Peavs! At least we got out of it with 1 run.

His era went down after that inning.

Just sayin'...

How did Span get thrown out? That was a breaking ball that bounced, and then the catcher threw a bouncer to second and Span was STILL out by a foot?

edit: And then Posey hits one down the line. Boch is taking the steal sign off for a month.

 

[calsnowskier]

And Buster breaks up the no-no.

It didn't look like he got a great jump.

 

[calsnowskier]

They are getting lots of pitches, at least...

 

[calsnowskier]

Bradley on pace to go 2.2...

 

[calsnowskier]

Action in the pen.

Great game one...

 

[calsnowskier]

Ouch...

 

[calsnowskier]

Am I the only one here tonight?

 

[calsnowskier]

Come on guys. You would rather watch playoff hockey or playoff basketball than a mid-April baseball game against the Diamondbacks?

Where are your priorities?

 

[Stokes1931]

A week ago, I had no worries about this team's hitting. None. Nada. Zilch.

However, there are some pesky worry seeds planted in my mind....
