4/9 GDT Zeets at Rockheads

w00t!! Go Rookie!

 

[msgkings322]

Pagan takes too. Good job.

 

[gp956]

put one down pagan....too late.

 

[MarcoPolo]

I'm thinking - how few teams bat their catchers (all of them) 6th or higher? And this time, it's not because a slow tub-o-lard just happens to be the best power threat on a horrible team.

 

[MarcoPolo]

I'll trade an out for a run. I think that may be the best AB Pagan has had in a Giants uni.

 

[gp956]

ground attack

 

[CameronFrye]

Good patience from the kid. Already better than Whiteside at everything.

Repped for truthi-ness.

 

[gp956]

break it open craw

Cards and Twins and Braves at least...

chacin pitching around the entire lineup

 

[MarcoPolo]

I cannot accurately express how happy I am to NOT see (for the first time in YEARS) impatient Giants hitters swinging at crap from a pitcher who is having problems throwing strikes. I am sooooooo happy. Seriously, how long has it been since the Giants lineup wasn't half full of hacker who would first-pitch-swing a pitcher who had just walked the last 2 or 3 batters?

 

[gp956]

theriot veteran savvy...... not

 

[msgkings322]

And there's Theriot, swinging at the first pitch on a wild pitcher. He sucks balls.

 

[gp956]

what an asshole theriot is.

The offensive approach is SOOO much better in the short time we've seen so far. If the pitching does what it should and this keeps up, look out above.

 

[CameronFrye]

Is it too late to cut Theriot?

 

[msgkings322]

what an asshole theriot is.

It's not personal but he's shitty at baseball.

 

[MarcoPolo]

And Theriot makes his SECOND out of the game. Seriously, somebody seriously "botched" the lineup by starting Theriot against a rightie.

We call this the Rowand Effect.

Sadly yes after getting rid of Fontenot
