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

I miss the pitcher hitting 8. MVP gets a break, so a more traditional weak hitting bottom of the lineup. This would be a good game for BB9 to heat up.

Dog those dogging dogs. 5-2 good guys.

I would rather have Duffy hit 3 and Pence 4. Duffy did great in the 3-spot last year.

Not sure it is a huge deal, though. Interesting how different that lineup looks without Posey in the middle.

Schwerber done for the year!!!!

Pretty huge loss there. That's gotta suck. It's a good thing they're still pretty deep otherwise this could be soul crushing. Poor Cubbies.

This is the type of thing that can still crush THAT fan base, though. This can cause everyone to look around and be convinced that they are cursed. If that gets in the club house, season is over...

I trust Maddon and Epstein to not allow that to happen, though.

Now if Dusty were still there...

Hey Guys. Go Giants.

Would love for Cain to have an easy 1st

If Dusty were there, this never would have happened. Dusty wouldn't have let Schwarber on the field because go ageism

Cain with a quick 1st inning.

Giants' offense looking "stellar" tonight against the rookie.

First time through with a rook, let's see the second time around. Unfortunately, they've yet to see him in the stretch and didn't make him throw a ton of pitches.

Good evening Laguna.

Evening, pretty quiet over here. The guys (and Moxie) come around pre-game, make some small talk and then leave. Can we blame them if this become a no-hitter?

I think MB's in general are starting to fade. doesn't stop us from placing some blame though.

1-0 bad guys.

It's a no-hitter so far.

edit: and the pitch count for Cain is rising fast. damn

ok time for the bats to WAKE UP.

The 5th isn't looking so good. Isn't this the time for dredinis21 supposed to start posting about now?

 

[filosofy29]

Cain has made a lot of mistakes in the zone. Same as prior years. Nice thing is, he either has extra velocity of got back some of his deceptiveness. The Doggies have looked a tad late om some mistakes.

Please excuse my ignorance, but is an MB?

 

[LHG]

I think Cain threw 28 pitches that inning?
