MadMax in the five hole; McCrap gets a rest in favor of Kobe and Panik sits vs. Kershaw.

Duffman 3-4; good guys win 4-1

Hard to get excited about any lineup vs 'shaw. Also, Bum at home is not exactly confidence-inducing.

But DAYUM the team looked good last night. Hopefully they get some better cluster-luck tonight and the BABIP gods look favorably upon us.

 

[calsnowskier]

Completely OT, but...

For you movie nuts, we are doing a "best movies by letter" thing over in the entertainment forum. Right now we are in the nomination phase (nominate 5 movies per letter) and next week we will have a poll for each letter to determine the best movie of all time per letter. A, B and C nominations close tomorrow, if you want to get your noms in before the poll is put up.

Vogelsong named starter on Thursday.


Man they are committed to not putting Petit back in the rotation

Has Vogey has an effective appearance yet? I love the guy, but you gotta believe his leash is getting short.

I have not seen Correia make an appearance for Sacto, yet. Have I missed one?

I think they sent Correia to extended ST

Pagan with minor ownage on Kershaw (.282 over 39 career ABs)

Puig (.273, 22, 2 HR), Turner (.333, 18, 2), Uribe (.300, 30, 1) and Van Slyke (.308, 13, 0) with success against Bum.

Doggies are making Bum work. They lead the NL in BB, and i think only 1 pitcher has gone into the 7th against them.

 

[calsnowskier]

That was a nasty curve to Duffy. Not a good sign.

17 pitches by Kershaw in the first.

Both lineups have done a good job of making the opposing all-world pitcher work.

Need a PBF on Juan.

 

[calsnowskier]

Still looking for our first clean inning, but we are getting goose-eggs. I will take it.

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice catch.

Gotta applaud that.

 

[calsnowskier]

????

I thought he was a Giants fan???

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice tight curve.

 

[calsnowskier]

Bum is not on pace for a QS, though. He needs to be more efficient.

 

[calsnowskier]

One HELL of an AB by Bum, there.

Took pitches AND advanced the runners.

 

[1phlapdown]

Noki en fuego!!!

OOPs a ground out works too.

 

[calsnowskier]

Risky as all hell, there, craw. A good throw gets him.

1-0 Good Guys!!
