Duggie up and in. Here we go....

 

[1phlapdown]

Let's see if Duggie can pull a Will.

 

[1phlapdown]

And the Gs down early.

Craw at .136 in july.

Let's see if Duggie can pull a Will.

You think other center fielders will be asking him to teach them how to Duggie?

 

[calsnowskier]

That was a NASTY hop

You're alluding to a gaff on D?

Am I the only one surprised by Boch leading him off?

 

[calsnowskier]

On review, no that was a legit error.

 

[1phlapdown]

How 'bout a dp to end this inning?

Now that you mentioned it, I am surprised to see Bochy put him in the lead off spot. I would have, if I thought about it, expected him to start in the 7 or 8 hole.

I wonder how much we'll see of Slater now. And is Williamson pretty much done?

[Stokes1931]

Bum not exactly getting pounded this inning, but he isn't getting anyone out, either.

 

[calsnowskier]

These dinks and doinks are really getting infuriating.

 

[calsnowskier]

Hanson popping out on ball 4 last inning is looking much bigger right about now...

And Craw limits the damage.

 

[tzill]

Awful, #weaklink pitching.

Good Phuking grief

I like Hanson and GorKys, but there is a reason that they have bounced around. They are not starters. They are bench players, who can play for an extended period of time. At some point, though, they stop producing, either because of wear and tear, or other teams get a book on them. GorKys should get 3 games a week, in LF, CF and RF spelling the starters. We need to see Slater or Mac in LF full time, give them a chance.

I am reading a fascinating bio of Willie Mays, and either with the Minneapolis Millers or the NY Giants, he was one for his first 26, then caught fire.

If he'd played on this team, he'd have been back in Sacramento and never heard from again.

 

[Stokes1931]

Rooting for Duggar to make good today.

Mac isn’t something 5-37 since his demotion. Not a good sign.

 

[calsnowskier]

What were they saying about Duggar there? Why couldn’t he take 1st?

Runner on first with less than 2 outs on a strikeout.
