If Belt bunted here no way KRod throws him out.


Wasn't that 3rd strike a ball to Hunter Pence?

Looks poised. And overpowering.

I know our bullpen generally gets it done, but there's something satisfying about knowing there is a power arm to bring in in the 7th when needed.

Strickland might put the Giants over the hump in July and August to get them to the promised land.

I thought the bouncer by Aoki was an error. But hey, damn happy for him to get a 4-hit game.

Does Strickland stick when someone gets healthy?

He is throwing well. Almost three innings without allowing a home run, so there is that.

Yup. Can't image Jean Jean the pitching machine will survive Peavy's activation next week.

FYWW!!!

Strickland and Affeldt: 4 innings, one BB, no hits.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Giants win 8-4

Real solid win..7 run 6th inning

FYWW!!!

But I'm thinking this win is not approved.

Kuip ends the day with the line of the day.

There is no such thing as a bad taste in your mouth when you are in the state of Wisconsin.

Classic. That should be on a the state billboard

What a miserable brand of fandom you exhibit. For pete's sake.

He didn't allow a single HR in the minors this year. He got some new secondary pitches, I think he's ready for the majors now.

But as mentioned above, the temper thing is still unknown. Hard to change the spots on a leopard, dontcha know.

Sure, but players do mature (Bryce Harper anyone?). I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt, as I do to all Giants players, even former Cy Young winners.

Hats off to org's pitching coaches!!!!

I think he should stay with the big club, but who does he replace? Certainly not JA or JLo, both lefties. Though if they keep struggling, I could see perhaps some time for Okert, who I believe is a lefty. Romo and KCYa are not going anywhere. Greek is throwing well. Seems like Machi may be on thin ice.

just calling it the way I see it. You can disagree. Perhaps BT is an effective starter and I'm wrong.

But that ain't the way to bet.

I have to admit, his performance this season so far has been a huge surprise to me. He has done very well, today's start notwithstanding. I am enjoying BT's starts.

At this point, I am worried about Hudson. I suppose a bad start at Coors is not a terrible thing, and he has never done well there. But his numbers are all trending away from good.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Aoiki Panik Pence Duffy Susac and Strickland who threw some big innings again today all shined.

A real enjoyable game to watch today.

Go Giants !!
