I say we give Puig the Vlad treatment, do not, under any circumstances, throw him anything over the plate. Let's test his patience. If he walks 3 times tonight, fine. Let him get himself out.

A battle of "lesser than" starting pitching. As such, this game will likely be won or lost in/with the bullpen.

JMO.

You have any inside info about Fife? What can we expect from him?

Kick is a kid, only making his 2nd career MLB appearance. He looked OK in his first game, but he got crushed. He is expected to have a ceiling of a 3/4 guy down the road...

Shades of Marichal and Koufax this is not.

You REALLY think Fife is not going to look like Koufax tonight?

The way we are hitting, I could be Koufax tonight.

I assumed Fife=Koufax, it was the Marichal comparison I was iffy on....

Still, I hope the kid does well. We need something, ANYthing!

 

[calsnowskier]

Oh, and BDD...

I saw you talking to HD about his relationship with this board. Our relationship with him is based on HIM. He has a history of gloating/trolling here, so the very sight of him here gets the natives rustled. His continuing to talk smack about us does not make us soften to him in the slightest (I see at least 4 or 5 comments from him about this board specifically each week).

As you have experienced (for the most part), if you come in here with respect, we are completely arms open. If you come in and spit on the floor before you say hi, than you can hit the bricks.

I am not going to get to follow this one tonight, fellas. Going to see the MOS instead. I have low expectations, so I should probably like it.

Take this one down!!!

The Giants let em off the hook last night. They will get payback tonight

Kemp's back I see. Wonder what the are going to do when Crawford returns. Think Ethier is a goner?

 

[SFGRTB]

Big start for the kid today, trying to beat our rivals and keep us from falling below .500

Trying a new strategy tonight. Using treadmill while watching game

 

[SFGRTB]

Alright, jam Puig inside. Don't throw him strikes.

EDIT: So far, 2 fastballs in.

Good for you. If we win, I hope your legs are ready for the long haul.

 

[SFGRTB]

Great pitching to Puig. Pitched him in, pitch him hard. Got him to fly out on a lazy fly ball. Good inning.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Nice 1st for Kick but we all know it is the 2nd/3rd that matter

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Good for you. If we win, I hope your legs are ready for the long haul.

If we win, I smell an endorsement deal

 

[Stokes1931]

Only decent AB in the 1st inning was Moped.

If Shark is going to leadoff, he HAS to be more selective and work the count.

And Posey is not doing himself any favors by going SPOM. I mean, he just went 60+ AB's without a walk. I guess this is better than a bases loaded GIDP.
