1. Denard Span (L) CF
2. Angel Pagan (S) LF
3. Matt Duffy (R) 3B
4. Buster Posey (R) C
5. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
6. Hunter Pence (R) RF
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Kelby Tomlinson (R) 2B
9. Matt Cain (R) P

Panik apparently tweaked his back late in the game last night. I wasn't watching, so I just found this out. This is what I was fearing with him. Once a bad back, always a bad back.

No score prediction (I don't want to be negative).

Broadway down, Mazzaro up, Gardeck out.

KNBR reports strained groin, not back.

Mutts don't hit RHP well. Giants 10-0 when outhitting opponent.

Let's hope Cainer finds it today.

Sure would be nice to have a #4 and a #5 with ERA's under 7.

We thought Timmah was bad with his 4.74 ERA in 2014 and 4.13 in 2015.

Right now, that would be a 3.00 ERA improvement over PV and MC.

I hope Heston and either Beede or Blackburn are ready by June.

DeGrom hadn't walked anyone all year.

Today he walks back-to-back Giants.

Hey! Quit stealing my stuff!

Sad, really, that we follow a Met's scoring inning with a chance to at least dent the pitcher, and then K and a weak grounder with RISP.

Posey was not involved, but he is hitting something like .120 with RISP and only has 7 RBI.

We need his bat to wake up.

And we need pitchers who get outs without giving up runs. (Captain Obvious)

We need the team to play the way that they are capable of playing.

Cain two HBP this inning.

 

[LHG]

Mets showing they can make the pitcher work.

 

[Stokes1931]

Wonder if Cain will get through the inning.....

 

[Stokes1931]

7.54 ERA now for Cain

 

[LHG]

I'm really getting tired of Peavy and Cain. Amazing that these two were considered among the best in the bigs just 5 years ago.

What's the chance the Giants even get a hit this inning?
