seems like the A's will be giving us a huge gap in CF

Why the fuck is Posey playing? Didn't Bochy see last night's game?

They're trying something new. That Beane is a genius.

Man, there is no fooling this board.

It's a cost-cutting measure. Center field is closed. We aren't allowed to hit the ball there.

Maybe the I's don't realize that it's not a home game and they can't just tarp off sections of the stadium as they see fit.

Giants 3-7 lifetime vs. Ross; A'ss 5-25 lifetime vs. Vogey.

Fuck those East Bay fucks....6-1 good guys.

 

[Stokes1931]

Looks like Crawdad likes hitting second.

 

[Mays-Fan]

We have had 9 walks in each of the last two games, including 3 each night by Pagan. Very impressive. I hope it is not just a statistical quirk, but the result of a change in approach by our hitters.

One can only hope.

 

[Stokes1931]

Not a great AB by Oxy.

 

[Stokes1931]

A Belt slam would be nice about now.

 

[Stokes1931]

Back foot slider. Dammit. Don't they face these sorts of pitches in BP?

 

[Stokes1931]

0-3 with RISP so far today.

5 LOB in 2 innings.

So far today, Posey is the ONLY (Giants) batter to have swung at the first pitch.

Edit: 8 first pitch strikes, 5 balls.

 

[MarcoPolo]

I like the way the game has started out (for Vogelsong). Low pitch count, among other things.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Well, shit. There goes the perfect game.

 

[1phlapdown]

Now that we have the jinx out of the way, he has been VERY efficient.

 

[1phlapdown]

C'mon Craw!
