I just ordered my Duffy jersey.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Yeah, I do believe that we will be seeing a lot more Duffy at 3B in the near future.

 

[calsnowskier]

More bad camera work. Joyce was not in the frame, so we had no idea what his call was.

 

[calsnowskier]

Speaking of Jim Joyce...

Is there an ump in the bigs who is more happy to have replay than him?

 

[calsnowskier]

You gotta figure that Ryan is NOT a Giants fan...

 

[calsnowskier]

Heston is dealing.

8 K in 5.2...

 

[calsnowskier]

LOL

That is amazing.

Posey in the squat is almost as tall as Altuve standing up.

 

[Sandisfan]

They were saying on KNBR today that the Giants brass is not keen on making Duffy a starter just yet. He is sooooo thin, the worry about his durability at this point. I am guessing that they will have him hang out with Sandoval this coming off season so he can pick up some of his bad habits.

I just got here.......and add....You can't have Duffmeister stay with Panda because he might EAT HIM for breakfast

Rasmus looks like one of the guys from the baseball gang in the movie The Warriors.

Heston trying for the firs complete game of the season for the Giants...

Heston trying for the firs complete game of the season for the Giants...

Whether he makes it or not, ya gotta love his resilience for a rookie who got roughed up his last two starts.

I hope getting above .500 gives us a lift.

 

[1phlapdown]

A complete game.

 

[SFGRTB]

The first complete game of the season for the Giants is non other than Chris Heston! What a performance from him, and Matt Duffy.

 

[Stokes1931]

What a well pitched game by Moses!

 

[SFGRTB]

This is a great picture of Heston and Lincecum. Timmeh was the last SF Giants rookie to have 10 K's in a start.

 

[calsnowskier]

Heston doing what he has done HAS to make you excited for what he have on the farm. While he has been on my radar for a number of years, I never really expected much out of him.

The same could have been said for Panik and Duffy.

Are we, the Giants farm system "smarts" even selling our system short? Is our system stronger than even those of us who look at it with biased eyes realize??

 

[Stokes1931]

So far this season, 46 of the 109 runs scored by the Giants have come with two outs.

Tonight's 2nd inning was the first non-shut down inning since May 1, a span of 10 games. (11 games counting the May 1 game). Impressive.

Giants now at 72.9% SDI on the season.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Heston throws a 110 pitch game giving up only 1 ER. 10 K's. A career game in his young career.

Duffy 5 RBI's and 3 hits..the kid is earning his way to more playing time.

Pagan 3 hits.

Overall great game by the Giants ..nice way to start the road trip.

Go Giants !!

Well, Cal, he DID give up that one run......

I am excited about the relievers we have coming through (Okert, etc). I am also excited to see Blach, a lefty, who is doing very well in Sacramento. Will try to go see a game or two of the Rivercats this summer.

Stanton of Miami hit a ball out of Dodgers stadium in left tonight. Unreal shot.
