Peavy SP

A Bochy special lineup today, as half the starters sit (Pagan, Panik, Posey). With the day off tomorrow, Posey is a no-brainer. Panik supposedly has some minor back-stiffness. Pagan has needed a day for a LONG time.

0-0 after 1.

6-3 good guys.

Yeah, that K by Craw was ungood. Still...CERVEZA THOSE CERVEZING CERVECEROS...

5-2 good guys; no score in the third

 

[tzill]

Horsecrap hitting by BB9 there. Awful.

 

[calsnowskier]

Amazing how fast an offense can go from scolding hot to ice cold.

The team is still solid defensively and looks OK pitching-wise (with a lively offense, last nights game would not have been nearly as ugly), but OMG the offense is non-existent right now...

 

[calsnowskier]

Can Strickland be our closer now?

He comes in wild as all hell, then settles down and gets himself out of it.

Well done, kid!

 

[calsnowskier]

And just like that...

 

[calsnowskier]

Nothing...

Nothing...

Nothing...

3 pitches, Giants lead by 1 with a runner in scoring position.

Baseball is a fickle bitch.

 

[calsnowskier]

Well, THAT was a nice inning.

Went from an offensive shit-show to a blowout in one inning.

I know. Schizo team at times. They put up more crooked numbers that I remember any non-Bonds team doing.

3 outs away from first place...

JLo in to finish this bitch.

Which is really weird.

Your gut would say that a "crooked number team" would be a team with power bats. This is a team full of .300 hitters instead. Once they turn on the merry-go-round, that bitch don't stop...

I have to remind myself that they aren't really this good, they have been playing crap teams. And they aren't as bad as they are gonna look in August.

Nice to see Ay Ray contribute, and Peavy pitch well again...

Peavy is making a strong bid to be the #3 on this team. He can only go 6, but as long as we know that going in, that's fine for the playoffs.

Bum for 7...
Heston for 7...
Peavy for 6...
Cain for 4 with Petit and/or Vogey for 3...

Consistency is king...

What about Price going 8?

I am pretty sure that egg has yet to hatch...

To be fair, Peavy looked pretty awesome last year too...until the playoffs

And the Giants never would have made the playoffs last year without Peavy...

And when the playoffs come around, Peavy will be in his June. Not his October.

FYWW is rounding into form quite nicely.
