LOL, yeah no one has ever accused you of that.

Maybe Bum will ace up for us. He's done it before, this year. He's gonna need to vs Cueto.

Probably a 2-1 or 1-0 game, could go either way.

How long with Blanco bat leadoff before Bochy looks for another solution? How long do we have to watch Blanco see two-three pitches (at the most) leading off the game? How long do we have to watch Blanco muscle it up with another fly ball to the outfield, rather than hitting it on the ground and using his speed?

On the bright side, Duvall is in there. How about two consecutive games with homers by the kid?

Easy answer: until Pagan comes back, that's how long...

Yup.

As bad an option as Blanco is at lead off, we have no other options. None. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Nunca. Not-a-one.

 

[Mays-Fan]

Yup.

I just bet the under (6.5) on this one, almost half my bankroll.

 

[calsnowskier]

2 pitches...

 

[calsnowskier]

Surprise, surprise.

Cueto is tossing a nono against these lousy hacks...

 

[Stokes1931]

2 pitches...

I see what you are doing. I ain't going to respond. No sir. Not going to do it. Exercising self control.

Can Brown be any worse as a leadoff hitter?

 

[Stokes1931]

Surprise, surprise.

Cueto is tossing a nono against these lousy hacks...

At least Cueto threw 12 pitches that inning, no thanks to You Know Who.

 

[Stokes1931]

How can a guy with a 1.85 ERA be only 7-5?

He must be getting Cained quite a bit.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

I can't say anything positive about this lineup anymore. Everyone (except Posey) looks dead. I'd believe you if you told me Morse was playing with a broken wrist, he has been bad

We really might have to retire the "Cained" slogan. A new pitcher deserves that title

 

[calsnowskier]

Interesting...

Cueto saw 5 pitches.


Hmmmm

 

[calsnowskier]

At least with Hicks in the lineup tonight, it takes at least 3 pitches to strike someone out.

 

[calsnowskier]

Bum...

 

[tzill]

doyers up 1-0 top of the third....

What does scoring a run feel like?

 

[tzill]

Cueto needed 29 pitches to get through 9 "hitters."

Really?

Did he pitch a simulated game against the Reds AAA team this afternoon?
