5/8 GDT Mittfuckery @ doyershaw

[gp956]

is this considered our best defensive lineup?

No. Blanco and Schierholtz are the better defenders in the OF. And despite his tendency towards a clank glove, Burriss is better at 2B than Theriot. The nods to defense in this lineup is removing Gillaspie from the field (although Arias did butcher 3B in spring training), and, I suppose, Posey at C instead of 1B, which puts another LH bat in the lineup (Belt).

 

[gp956]

Kemp set up for a cutter away....

 

[gp956]

...and Vogey tried to throw something breaking.....

 

[gp956]

Giants once again showing a lack of fundamentals.

 

[gp956]

Vogey throwing a lot of early fastballs in the zone. Expect the Dodgers to start first pitch swinging.

 

[gp956]

Nice change up to Uribe to get the popup, after busting him inside with a fastball.

 

[gp956]

kershaw giving up some rockets in the 6th.....getting lucky.

 

[gp956]

Big inning for Vsong......

 

[gp956]

Dodger hitters staying patient. Not afraid to take some strikes.

 

[gp956]

VSong breezes through the middle of the order.

 

[gp956]

84 pitches for Vogey.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Just missed. Dammit, needed that.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Damn, that was close. I had HR hopes there. Oh, well, another out.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Should Crawford have made that play?

 

[gp956]

Craw........

 

[gp956]

Should Crawford have made that play?

Tough play......but don't like the way he is taking those off to the side.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Tough play......but don't like the way he is taking those off to the side.

Could he have even gotten in front of that one?

 

[TheSaboteur]

WOW, what a double play.

 

[filosofy29]

I think Belt came off the bag, but a DP will work!!! Gillaspie does NOT turn that play.

 

[gp956]

Finally......some good defense. Gillaspie cannot complete that play.
