The A lineup. 7-2 good guys.

I understand all 4 OFers are totally raking right now, but Blanco is raking the most of the 3. Not sure I agree with sitting him right now. Maybe sitting Pence a day?

Maybe start a four man rotation? Pagan sits, then Span sits, then Pence sits and then Blanco sits. Of course, it cannot be that simple. For example, if it's Span's turn to sit but he absolutely rakes against the starter, someone else (maybe Pence or whoever struggles the most against the pitcher) sits; but it seems worth it to keep Blanco in the lineup as much as possible right now.

This OF has the flexibility to allow this to work. Pence is the only one who cant play all 3 positions (maybe he can, but he hasnt since joining the Giants).

Besides, Pence is the only one who deserves special consideration to be a 100% player, but he is the one of the 4 who isnt lighting the world on fire right now.


Further complicating things is the fact that Mac is DESTROYING the ball in Sacto. If the SF OFers were not crushing as much as they are, he would be getting LOTS of PT in SF right now.

Argh!!!

I thought the blackouts were lifted from the MLB app this season?

I have to watch the GD Padres broadcast.

I would think the main three would play their normal positions when they start and Blanco fills in the position for whichever guy is sitting. Keeps him comfortable at all three spots since the team is essentially carrying 4 outfielders.

Agree 100%. Also, I think only Pence and Blanco can play right. Pagan and Span both have noodles.

Calm down bum. Bad call, but it happens. Bear down...

[calsnowskier]

Pomeranz already at 50 pitches.

O/U on pitches seen in third... 8

 

[calsnowskier]

WTF?

 

[calsnowskier]

0-1 SDI.

 

[1phlapdown]

Herk!

 

[1phlapdown]

eight pitch at bat for Oxy gets him an rbi 2B.

 

[calsnowskier]

Herk had to go up to Bum after that hit and ask for forgiveness for that "play" in the third.

 

[calsnowskier]

Pomerania at 93. Gotta chase him now.

 

[calsnowskier]

And Panik does his part.

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice!

Attack the bully early in the series.

 

[1phlapdown]

We'll take it.

 

[tzill]

Herk with 2 steaks.

I'm very much approving of this game.
