That Undecided dude is taking the mound again. He pitched a 10 inning shutout last time out against the Phillies

Series sweep begins tonight

Relax, I didn't specify WHO would sweep WHO

Despite the two runs allowed, Howard pitched pretty well, I'd say. Your opinions may vary.

The hitters have been awful, though. There, your opinions may not vary.

I read that Miami is really hurting and pretty much bottom of baseball in offense. Perhaps we can offer them Soler for a bag of balls, and pay part of his salary. He thrived there, not doing anything here.

I could give a shit about his salary. They have no kids on the verge of needing to be signed long term, so having him around isn’t stopping the giants from doing anything they actually would want to do. Soler is still an asset. If we aren’t getting a decent prospect in return, than no way do we “sell” him.

Ramos heard the rumors that he would be sent down in favor of Conforto.

And this is how he responds.

Well done, kid.

 

[Brightboat]

Ramos with the big fly to tie it up. He’s doing well

 

[Brightboat]

Time for the new guy to hit a bomb here

 

[Brightboat]

.............or not

Seems Matos or Brooks are the most likely to get sent down. Was there really talk that Ramos would be demoted?

Came from FZ himself, IIRC. He acknowledged that no one deserves to go down, but that space is at a premium atm.

Luis Robert a fantastic outfielder and bat should be available and has one more year of team control after this year. Would you give up Matos and Luciano for him?

 

[calsnowskier]

And unless SOMEONE learns 1B, Brooks ain’t going anywhere.

As crappy as that idea is.

 

[Brightboat]

Chapman looks surprisingly fast on the bases

 

[Brightboat]

Good hustle by Soler

 

[Sandisfan]

Soler doing Soler things with men in scoring position or on base.

So a replay? If so I can guess how it turned out for Soler.

 

[calsnowskier]

Runner still scored. Chappy scored before Soler was tagged.

 

[calsnowskier]

Why didn’t the run count???????
