So who had Calixte/Hernandez/Ruggiano in the OF pool?

Probably the sarcastic guy that got dragged into the group and doesn't want to be there.

FYI...

The Giants have exactly four players in the starting lineup tonight hitting above the Mendoza line.

FOUR!

That is less than half the lineup!

When was the last time that could be said about a MLB team on May 30?

 

[Stokes1931]

2-0 already. Nats already have more XBH than the Giants will have all weak.

Wasn't a year or two ago, right around this time, when the very same team had like 6 or 7 guys hitting at or above .300?

The worst hitter on the Nats starting lineup is hitting better than the five Giant starters. Oye!

Gonna be a long season, gents.

 

[Stokes1931]

Scrabble with 29 pitches in the 1st (and counting). Giants will be lucky to see that in four innings tonight.

 

[Stokes1931]

Chris Shaw with a three run double in the top of the first in Reno.

Give me some guys who can drive in runs, not guys who hit for high average when no one is on base, and then get tight sphinctered with runners on.

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt has almost as many RBI (9) with the bases empty as he does with RISP (12)

But hey, keep doing the same thing, eventually it will work.

I think it was in '13 or '14 that every regular was batting .300 or better on Memorial Day.

 

[Stokes1931]

0-2

 

[calsnowskier]

So Morse was placed on the 7-Day and KT was activated before the game.

That may actually be a POSSITIVE that comes out of that whole thing yesterday...


(I am not being serious... Concussions ain't no joke)

 

[Stokes1931]

And the Nats pitcher drives in a run.

 

[calsnowskier]

One more run and I am finding something else to do with my evening...

 

[Stokes1931]

Scrabble 62 pitches through 2 innings.

No way the Giants see 62 pitches before the 5th.

 

[LHG]

I think it was in '13 or '14 that every regular was batting .300 or better on Memorial Day.

I thought for sure it was after the last WS championship season. However, it may have been 2014 because I have this vague thought that Brandon Hicks was somehow involved on that team.

 

[Stokes1931]

A hit!

A hit with RISP!

An XBH with RISP!

What the heck is THAT?!?

Does this Calixte kid know what he is doing? He'll never fit into the team culture doing stuff like this.

 

[Stokes1931]

And a SDI!

Will wonders never cease?
