Game Thread: 5/10 Giants @ BEAT L.A. !!

[Band of Brothers]

CF Pagan

RF Pence

1B Posey

LF Morse

C Sanchez

3B Sandoval

SS Crawford

2B Hicks

P Cain

Belt out like 6 weeks with broken thumb so Posey gets the start at 1B today.

Go Giants !!

Beat L.A. !!

Colvin up, Kontos Down. Cain activated, Belt to the DL. Scutaro likely to 60-day DL to accommodate for Colvin's 40-man roster spot.

Boch said Duvall was talked about a lot, but the veteran Colvin was selected. Morse will be the everyday 1st baseman (except today), and Blanco and Colvin will compete for the LF job.

Ethier and UUUU with :IWP: ownage

Herk the only significant G with sufficient ABs vs Greinke, but he's hitting .231

Screw those Thumb Breakers....4-2 Good Guys.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Cain gets the ball @ Greinke in what should be a good match up. Greinke 3-0 against the West. Right handed hitters hitting .343 against Cain. Cain is due for a good one. He has to keep the ball down in the zone . Ball will carry more in the day games at Chavez Ravine . It's Giants vs. Dodgers in a celebration of baseball that goes way back. Belt down with a broken thumb as Colvin gets called up. Giants have the best record in baseball, 10 games over .500 for the year.

Picks to click...Sanchez who gets the start at Catcher and Panda who should be ready to bust out and the Giants need his bat now more than ever with Belt out.

Go Giants !!

BEAT L.A. !!

[Stokes1931]

Greinke got it all the way up to 96 there. Pablo is just in a massive funk.

 

[SFGRTB]

Dee ambushes the first pitch for a single

 

[SFGRTB]

Just safe, wow. Don't challenge it Boch!

 

[SFGRTB]

Sit down, Puig!

 

[SFGRTB]

Take your damn base Hanley, jesus.

 

[SFGRTB]

Dee created a jam, but Cain calmly pitches out of it. 2 nasty pitches to strikeout Puig and A-Gon, then challenges Kemp.

 

[SFGRTB]

How is Ethier not in the lineup against Cain? Very surprising move there, guy hits like .400 against him.

 

[SFGRTB]

What is Greinke/Figgens doing? I'll take it, bases loaded, no out. Pagan up.

 

[SFGRTB]

That was an awful throw by Kemp, after Puig makes a brilliant throw.

1-0 on the sac fly by Pence.

 

[SFGRTB]

Posey comes through! A bloop in front of Puig, 2-0!

If that ball didn't hit off his glove, the ball shoots by him and to the wall.

 

[SFGRTB]

Morse is struggling with Greinke and his slider.

 

[SFGRTB]

Cain not as sharp this inning, got bailed out by a great throw by Chez3!
