I am wondering when Moped moves to 8th and Stamos bats 2nd. Too early to make that kind of move, but Stamos' approach is really nice to see at the moment, and Moped has been struggling.

Craw is the long-term solution to the #2 hole, but I doubt it happens regularly before '14 at the earliest.

Great hustle by Pence, gets the infield hit

And he has, what, 4 steals already (with 5 all of last year).

Love the speed on this team.

So I guess Torres hits lefties after all!

2-2

 

[calsnowskier]

Arias is only batting .214 on the year. Bench his ass and give Belt a shot. Anything would be better than this bum!!

Last year he was like, 3rd in fan voting. And now he's actually on people's radars.

EDIT: Excuse me he was a close second. 3.6 million votes. Furcal had 3.9 million, who finished 1st.

With Tulo back, it will be hard for Craw to beat him out.

That said, I can't see anyone at this point beating him out for second. (although Starlin Castro is off to a great start as well)

Venable's stance always reminds me of John Bowker.

So smooth Stamos

I think the shine on Tulo has dulled a bit. He will need to GREATLY outplay Craw to beat him in the voting, I think.

Of course, this assumes that they still allow Internet voting and that silicon valley again decides they want to flex their nerd-muscles.

About time. I was about to demand we find a replacement catcher...

 

[ColinCoby]

That was nice!!

Two out rally!!

Maybe he's been feeling the pressure of the big contract?

If true, what the hell is Belt's excuse?

 

[SFGRTB]

That was nice!!

Two out rally!!

That was real quick!

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants being efficient on "O"

3-6 with RISP

Only 3 LOB

Downside: no walks (always something, right?)

 

[SFGRTB]

Fire the grounds crew!

 

[ColinCoby]

I'd be o.k. with a grounder to short here.

And the middle linebacker from the San Diego Chargers takes on the wall.

Chargers 7, Wall 3

Short leash for Zito? He is getting into his danger-zone as far as pitch count is considered.
