Game Thread: 5/12 GDT Champs @ Astros

[SFGRTB]

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??

I think because it lacks the "star" (Carlos Correa, Corey Seager types), a lot of people sell it short. But it's becoming clear that this is a very deep system of guys who can make an impact at the ML level. Guys like us probably still overvalue many of the prospects, but with a deeper farm system full of guys who can be relied on in case of injury, or used as trade bait, or used as cheaper alternatives when the Giants open their wallets this offseason to sign a big SP or two (!?), I'm just fine with where our system is at.

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.

I think our Sacramento bullpen is better than at least a couple ML bullpens.

Okert
Strickland
Hall
Partch
Broadway
Cordier

Sounds pretty deep to me.

Craw had a nice double tonight. Duffy has no holes in his swing.

I would have had Aoki bunt.

I would've had someone else DH, let him rest. Of course then they go out and score 8.

We o.k. if Belt ends up being Mark Grace light?

I guess as long as he ain't JR Phillips, we'd take it.

I'm kinda seeing JT Snow. Which is fine....except the Posey situation

I just ordered my Duffy jersey.

Make it a pair, get a Heston too.

AB: YOU'RE FUCKING WELCOME. NOW, SIT BACK AND WATCH ME MANAGE THE CRAP OUTTA THIS ROAD TRIP.

DP Mcghee, unfortunately, has a better ring to it.
