Game Thread: 4.22 Mutts @ Winning Time (6:45pm)

[tzill]

A few observations from the yard as I got out of the phuking house while the wife and MIL prep for Passover.

Lee continues to impress me; he's got to be in the running for ROY
Soler 2-3 plus a walk. Maybe he's turning the corner? Really weird month for him.
Chapman with a solid double, and wait for it....NO Ks
Forto seems to be heating up
Tyro needs a day off I think. His bat looks slllllooooowwww
Murph is your basic backup catcher. They can't all be Susac
Ahmed continues to say "Luci, enjoy Sacto"

Winn was just great tonight. Efficient, had a plan. If he and Hicks are legit rotation pieces, it's going to be real interesting when Cobb and Ray come back.
Walker and Tyler were nails.
Doval is a classic closer...not real effective in non save situations.

Let's get this series tomorrow with Spider.

Also, forgot to mention: Camilo has a pretty cool entrance now. They turn off all the lights and shade the field in red with a spotlight on him as he jogs in.

Pretty, pretty, pretty...cool.

JHL is far exceeding my expectations. Tony Gwynnesque in his approach. Love watching his ABs

Heard the lights were to be for Giant's HRs. Looks like they re-purposed to salvage some ROI

Why do Giants closers always suck ass?

Always?

Why do Giants closers always suck ass?

They’ve had some outstanding closers over the years. It’s the toughest job on the staff and the situations are almost always pressurized so the failures stand out but the Giants closers definitely don’t always suck

 

[tzill]

Always?

Robb Nen and Brian Wilson are in exam room 3 waiting to kick your ass.

Who was that closer we got from the Pirates who was supposed to be so good and absolutely sucked for the Giants?
