The return of Joey Dozens!! No Herk (next week) or Duff (two weeks away).

Fed those fedding Feds....

4-1 good guys.

Awesome, no more Ruben Tejada. I'm going to the game tonight, we really need our co-ace to step up.

 

[calsnowskier]

I would like to see KT or EA playing 3rd, but Gonor really has been hitting pretty well, so you cant really argue him right now...

Since the break, he is slashing .222/.250/.444/.694 with 2 HRs and 6 RBI. Not all-star, but certainly carrying his own weight.

Giants just traded for Eduardo Nunez. Adalberto Mejia going to Minny.

Nunez is batting .300/.326/.444. 12 homers, 26 steals. Plays SS, 2B, 3B.

 

[filosofy29]

we ever gonna play .500 ball again folks?

 

[1phlapdown]

We don't have to face Strasburg.

 

[SFGRTB]

Interesting the day Panik returns, Nunez is acquired. We could've used Nunez a few weeks ago.

Should I be outraged or enthused sfgrtb?

 

[filosofy29]

Is this thing on?

 

[Hangman]

I hope that the trade doesn't mean bad things about Duffy

This has not been a happy place lately.

I like it. I'm a huge fan of Mejia, but Nunez is putting up some nice numbers and could be Duffy insurance. He has another year of control too.

I mean, Nunez was an All-Star this year...

 

[calsnowskier]

He appears to be an improvement over Duffy, even when healthy, so I am OK with his addition. But you are right to wonder about the Duffman moving forward. Achilles injuries are no jokes.

 

[SFGRTB]

I hope that the trade doesn't mean bad things about Duffy

It might. At the same time, maybe Evans didn't want to get caught with his pants down if something did delay Duffy further. Depth is not a bad thing.

 

[calsnowskier]

When healthy...

CF Span
2B Panik
1B Belt
C Posey
RF Pence
3B Nunez
SS Crawford
Pitcher
LF Pagan

???

 

[calsnowskier]

Maybe swap Nunez and Belt? That would REALLY lengthen the lineup.

 

[SFGRTB]

Not happy times

 

[1phlapdown]

uh oh

 

[calsnowskier]

[ignoring the game]

So I guess today is Pena's last day with the org.

 

[SFGRTB]

Holy fuck.... how many ground balls up the middle
