Finally get to sit down and watch the Giants for the first time this season. Hello Giants baseball

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Quick inning for Peavy thanks to the DP!

TBH, he should have been quicker. Four pitches? That's going to add up. Should aim for three

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Dodgers enjoying Peavy's first pitches

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Peavy gives up four hits in the inning but only allows a run, Alex Wood DP gets him out of trouble


Panic's foot was off the bag. Inning not over, Dodgers lead 2-0

Thanks to Chase Utley and his dirty play, the new rule costs the Giants a run. Way to go MLB. Instead of suspending players for dirty plays, you make the whole league adjust.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Not ideal.

Dodgers now three shutout innings away from the MLB record to start a season

Dodgers teeing off on Peavy, meanwhile Giants only generating light contact off Wood.

Well, hope the 4 stays

Peavy does not look ready. Giant bats sleepy. Dodgers playing really well with confidence. Let's burst that bubble!

 

[Stokes1931]

Panik!

 

[Stokes1931]

Span and Oxy two outs on three pitches. Panik and Posey drive in three.

4-3 with Pence up.

How awful for Wood to be the only pitcher to have given up any runs this season for the dogs

I thought Heston was supposed to be a LONG reliever. 10 pitches, 3 up, 3 down and he gets pulled for a pinch hitter? Like Adrianza would do much better.

*knock on wood*

For the record, I turned on the game at the start of the bottom of the 5th. This rally is all my doing. You are welcome.

If Heston were to just bunt the runners over anyways, I don't understand the thought process to take him out and send Adrianza up to give up an out....unless Heston sucks balls at bunting. It seems like a waste of a bench player at the time when we don't have many.

But I think that inning went just fine, so what do we know?
