7/3 GDT ex-Champs @ Reds

Where is Arias?

Our bench is thin enough as it is. If he is hurt, put him on the DL and call someone up from Fresno.

 

[Stokes1931]

Abreu!

We scored! We scored? Yes. Our second run in three games! And our third! And a lead!

Marco Scutaro may have to watch his back while letting it recovery. Tony Abreu is truing to take his job

As far as I am concerned, he can have Panda's job for a while. I am getting very tired of his wild a** swings and the strikeouts on balls nearer Pluto than earth.

"I'm the :panda:. I hit three home runs in the World Series. In one game. Diet? Exercise? Plate discipline for dining? Plate discipline for hitting? I can eat anything. I can hit anything. I am the :panda:. All that other stuff is for mere mortals. I am a baseball god and can do what I damn well please."

If Noggin wants to win a game in Ohio this year, he will pull Zito now. He's at 90 pitches, and usually falls apart right at that spot.

Great! A leadoff single. And now a stolen base. And another single.

And facing the RBI machines of Votto and Philips.

Goodbye lead. It was nice to have, for 1/2 an inning.

Wake up Noggin and MANAGE!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Pull Zito after he allows two singles, nice

 

[SF11704]

Huge OUT ... so unlike us ....

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Mijares gets a huge out, Kontos coming in

Kontos scares me ..... been like Senor Gascan lately

Should NOT let Zito throw more than 85 pitches. After that, first sign of trouble, first hit, first walk, first HBP, he's out of there. All season Noggin has been leaving him in there, just to see how he does, and he gets lit up like a Christmas tree. Better pull him too soon than too late, unless there is a 10 run lead. One can dream, right?

 

[Stokes1931]

Nice K by Kontos!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

KONTOS!!!!!!!!!! KLUTCH!

 

[depraved]

Damn wish Zito was still in the game

 

[Stokes1931]

Why let Kontos pitch to Bruce, the lefty?

 

[Stokes1931]

Damn wish Zito was still in the game

Or that Bailey was still on the mound, eh?

 

[depraved]

Or that Bailey was still on the mound, eh?

Rather have Cueto

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

KONTOS DOES IT AGAIN!

2 huge strikeouts. This is the bullpen of old

 

[Stokes1931]

Well done, bullpen!

That may be the shot we need to turn this around.

Great! but now there's still 4 innings left to get through.

I was referring to the performance by Kontos and Mijares
