MVP gets a rest with Timmah throwing. Stamos up to the 6 hole; Duffman and Oxy move up a spot.

No G with any experience vs. Perez; no Chop with any Timmah ownage.

Chop those chopping chops. 6-4 good guys.

Blanco 0-1...

Did he jam his toe? He is showing a slight limp.

I just looked it up on BBRef, and there is no record of Blanco facing Perez. I suspect MLB is making shit up...

Bench Crawford!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Maybin steals second in 3......2.....1....

 

[calsnowskier]

That is still a major weakness in Timmeh's game. Running teams can eat his lunch on the base paths.

 

[Stokes1931]

Come on bats! Don't fail us now.

And take a rest stop along the way, and still steal a bag.

Probably always will be. As long as he pitches like he has this year it's not as big of an issue. But if he regresses to previous Timmy.....

Absolutely.

Of all weaknesses to have, holding runners on is low on the priority list to fix.

But in the MLB, any weakness can be exploited and be a game changer. So far in this game, it is rearing it ugly head.

Lincecum is torturing himself with paper cuts

And the bats have disappeared.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

And the bats have disappeared.

Yup. Though if I had to pick a game for them to do it. Tonight works best over disappearing in a 1-0 or 2-0 loss (I realize we can't pick and choose

 

[calsnowskier]

Poopy Timmeh remembers to show up tonight.

Not good.

 

[calsnowskier]
