8/17 GDT Giants @ Fathers

[Stokes1931]

Cain at 87 pitches through 6. Is the 7th his last inning? Or do you let him pitch longer?

Well, that was a short inning. 96 through 7. Let him go the distance.

 

[Stokes1931]

Life is sweet with an 8 run lead. But the board is dead with an 8 run lead. Either everyone went out to celebrate, or people collapsed on the floor and have not yet recovered.

 

[Stokes1931]

Gerald finally joins the hit parade. Missed a homer by that much.

Only Baby G without a hit among the starters.

 

[Stokes1931]

Baby G joins the hit parade!

Milk!

Shouldn't we boycott the milk?

 

[calsnowskier]

Shouldn't we boycott the milk?

Milk was here before Melk was.

 

[iHATEdodgers]

Milk was here before Melk was.

Of course. I'm just lactose-intolerant right now.

As for pitchers, do you REALLY want to start pointing fingers at pitchers who came out of nowhere to put up Ace-like numbers?

There was an interesting blurb in the SJMerc this A.M. :

Within the organization, Mota's suspension is viewed differently from Cabrera's. Whereas Cabrera admitted to using a banned substance, Mota said he took his daughter's cough medicine, and Major League Baseball is said to have corroborated the story.

Milk!

....and how do they handwave away signing Hensley?

Anyone able to post Scutaro's stats with the Giants? They go to be impressive.

.325/.364/.463/.826 OPS+ of 135 in 80 AB

 

[msgkings322]

Maybe Melky was holding this offense back......

It doesn't hurt to face Ohlendorf if you want to get your bats going
