7/21 GDT Tron @ Philth

[tzill]

1. Hunter Pence (R) RF
2. Marco Scutaro (R) 2B
3. Buster Posey (R) C
4. Pablo Sandoval (S) 3B
5. Michael Morse (R) LF
6. Adam Duvall (R) 1B
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Gregor Blanco (L) CF
9. Ryan Vogelsong (R) P

No BB9; no Oxy. We'll see how Duvall holds up. Cliff Lee is tough.

At least Duvall is a righty...don't we have a righty OF we could use to go 0-4 instead of Blanco?

Duvall hits for the cycle: solo homer, two-run homer, EWSpecial, Salami.

Giants win 6-2.

Whelp, he started with a non-productive K....

 

[tzill]

Flan had the right idea there with Tron on deck...

Shark earning his paycheck tonight...

So is Morse supposed to blow the catcher up? I thought they were trying to eliminate home plate collisions.

 

[tzill]

Tron in full bedshit mode...this is UGleeeee.

 

[Stokes1931]

Guppy with the productive hit.

Tron gives the run(s) right back. No SDI this time.

I think they should have overturned the call because of that. Even though the catcher did not "intentionally" block the basepath, his actions did so anyway. Not sure the rule has an "intention" clause. Morse never touched home plate, it appears.

 

[calsnowskier]

Vogey is not giving the offense any reason to score for him.

 

[calsnowskier]

I understand that the runner is a pitcher, but this fucking station-to-station is pissing me off more than the first-pitch hitting...

 

[Stokes1931]

Moped with the, what the hell was that? A sacrifice bunt? Really?!? When did that enter Noggin's bag of tricks?

 

[Stokes1931]

Two innings in a row the Giants get the first two runners on.

 

[calsnowskier]

Are there any stats about runners taking the extra base on hits? I wonder if the Giants are actually bad at that or if it is simply misleading anecdotal evidence.

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey!

 

[calsnowskier]

There you go. Pence was listening to my rant!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Memo to Tron: SDI, please!

 

[tzill]

Tron is fucking AWFUL tonight.

I do NOT approve.

 

[tzill]

Lee and Tron both at 43 pitches. Lee has recorded three more outs...
