Game Thread: 5/19 doyers @ Champs

[tzill]

1. Nori Aoki (L) LF
2. Joe Panik (L) 2B
3. Angel Pagan (S) CF
4. Buster Posey (R) C
5. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
6. Hunter Pence (R) RF
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Casey McGehee (R) 3B
9. Tim Hudson (R) P

Piggy, AGon, Grundle, and Crawford with Huddy ownage.
nobody with significant ABs vs. Frias, but Stamos has taken him deep.

We're gonna need to slug this one out. Partly cloudy with a chance of shitshows.

good guys, 6-5

Unfortunately, the Giants have struggled against pitchers they are not familiar with in the past.

This appears to be a different offense, this year, though. While I would rather have Sandoval in the lineup over sHits, the lineup as a whole seems to have a better strategy with him gone.

Dodgers finalize six-year, $62.5 million deal with Olivera | CSN Bay Area

The Doggies now have a $292 million payroll?!?

 

[calsnowskier]

That is a solid, 7-deep lineup, though. If this happened to be a playoff game, though, it would be a solid 8-deep lineup. I have no real complaints right now about the offense.

Ishi will have to be activated soon, and I have a feeling he will be DFA'd. With his contract, I suspect he will clear, and I would guess he will test the league to see if he can get an MLB spot somewhere, and if he can't, I fully expect that he will take a job in Sacto over any other AAA gig.

The Giants have a sick-high payroll, and the doggies are doubling it.

Where do the dogs plan on playing him? He is a 1B/2B. They are kinda stacked at those positions. 3B? They have Tucker there now.

Now they have this guy AND Guerrero with no where to play.

 

[Stokes1931]

Duffman has an 8 game hitting streak where he is 13-29 (.448) with 9 RBI's.

McGIDP is on a five game hitting streak, hitting .269 (7-26) in the last 8 games, with 6 RBI's (4 on the Grand Slam).

That's not the point. He was available. So they collected him like some men collect trophy girlfriends. Can't have too many expensive knock out super-models you know.

I have no idea where they will play this guy. He's averaging $10 million a year, he's not going to ride the bench, right? Perhaps they are looking to dump Kendrick (a huge mistake) or AGon (another huge mistake). A puzzler.

Howie is on a one-year deal. Could give Guerrero 2B job next year (he is also playing LF).

Corey Seager (super stud) has 3B locked up long-term.

Isn't Seager a SS?

He is but LA now working him at 3B. Could still be there long-term SS

Huddy with 6.1 shut out innings, as long as JLo gets out of the inning.

Ruh roh.

sax full

 

[1phlapdown]

Romo to the rescue, now some insurance runs would SURE BE NICE.

 

[Stokes1931]

Insurance run on 2nd with Herk up in the 8th.

(Great win by the Dubs earlier!)

Haha, we'll take the WP!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Stamos would have had the RBI!!!

2-0

 

[1phlapdown]

dam it.

And the closer closes it out!!! Wow great win. Always nice to shut out the doggies!!

 

[SFGRTB]

It's never easy, but KCYa finishes the game. Rollins sure helped him out swinging at some garbage pitches.

 

[Stokes1931]

Milk!

3 games over .500

Giants have been shut out 3 times, but have thrown shutouts 6 times already. I'd have bet more than vCash that that would not have been the case this season, with these pitchers and these hitters, and 45 games without Pence.



Take that, $292 million lineup!
