Maybe not if Bum is still not back in ace form. Leadoff double and a walk? Need a PBF here or Kershaw's gonna be smiling.

 

[filosofy29]

Gonzalez has a good approach at the plate. Seems like he even hits most of his outs hard.

Ouch, error, kept it on the infield at least.

 

[filosofy29]

Yes sir!

 

[msgkings322]

OK now handling your business after an error? Ace like

 

[msgkings322]

Pagan should try to steal now

 

[msgkings322]

OK now, with 2 outs then

 

[filosofy29]

At least we are getting some pitches out of Shaw.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Nice, quick inning for Bum. Time to keep pushing Kershaw's PC up

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Brandon Belt's career line vs. Clayton Kershaw after that strikeout:
3-38,3 BB's, 22 K's

 

[filosofy29]

Poor Belt, Kershaw just owns him.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

BUM owns Shaw

 

[calsnowskier]

Ownage is ownage.

 

[calsnowskier]

Over/under for Bum-Bombs this year...

4.5

 

[RamsFan88]

MADBUM! BOOMSTICK!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Well...there goes the lead

 

[calsnowskier]

Why even bother having the rule about trying to get out of the way of the ball on the books? It is enforced MAYBE once a year, league-wide.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Another great bounce back by Bumgarner.

Should be getting more K's now with Joc in place of Van Slyke

 

[calsnowskier]

Bum still is not sharp this year, but he is a battler. As shaky as he looks, he still has only allowed one run today.

In the young season,

• Giants are 4-0 when not scoring 1st.

• Giants are only 4-14 in shutdown innings
