Osich is a guy who can go a couple innings if need be...

This Cuzzi dude needs a lap dance...Wow he is wound tight.

Somehow, someway, this is Ryan Vogelsong's first career (major league) ejection.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Bochy got tossed too.

That is some funny shit right there. I could see it coming before the Giants hit the field tonight.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

That's kinda my point. I want a #1 or a #2. I think Scrabble is really just a VERY expensive #3. I am OK with a series of trades that net us some stronger top-of-the-rotation pitchers, even if it costs us some pain (Crawford, Duffy, Belt, etc)

If we are trading Crawford for a SP to make a WS run.

That leaves a gaping hole at SS, an inconsistent Belt, a hole in CF (sorry Angel) and a 3B we aren't sure will be as good in the second half (He could be, but there would be that question)

Hopefully this is what the boys need to get their ass's in gear. Come on it's time to kick some ass.

How many times a week does Pagan argue with the umpire?

 

[SFGRTB]

Nice plays by Crawford and Posey, and nice pitching from Osich.

I know Vogey was pitching well, but maybe it's a good thing he got out of there. I mean, as we've seen on this trip, all of the starters have pitched pretty well (except Bum and Heston) but have ran out of gas and gave up the big run.

Gotta be in the thousands

Pagan obviously is the exception since he argues all the time, but everyone just needs to accept that the ump sucks today and stop arguing.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Angel is gonna get tossed tonight..bank it.

Oh, no doubt. Just seeing him this time made me remember how much he does it

I am surprised he does not get run more often.

 

[msgkings322]

Hey Stokes, a walk! Game over, Giants win.

 

[Band of Brothers]

I think electronic strike zone is in the near future. Would start it with that wrist band thing next spring training.

He must know how to say stuff without pissing them off

I always wait for that big #sfgiants-#brewers deal. Sabean and Melvin have always been friendly. Have talked deals.

SF has looked for OF help. Some players discussed, among others, Cameron Maybin and Gerardo Parra. 12 HR for the SF outfielders in '15.

That's why I said "series of trades". And I was not necusarily advocating for it, just saying that it is on the table.

I agree that OF and util inf are the places to focus on in the off season. Only a HIGH end SP should be targeted for the rotation. I think both Beede and Stratton can be big contributors next year.
