It's weird, but yeah this is pretty much the squad. Interesting lineup.

Mac isn't on the lineup card, which probably means he's on the DL or just sent down in favor of EA.

Mac wouldn't start over Oxy.

Actually, triple leadoff.

I dont like Panik hitting in front of the pitcher, though (not Bum, specifically, but "the pitcher"). I would rather see Nunez in that spot. He has enough pop to make the opposing pitcher pay for grooving, and if he gets on, he has the speed to make a sac more likely to succeed.

Giants 0-2 RISP in the first inning, then Bum gives up a 2-run bomb to the #2 hitter.

WTF is going on here?

This just in:

PHUK YOU #WEAKLINK

Bum is the ABSOLUTE, definition of this teams #weaklink.

Good call.

Bum's first inning is the ABSOLUTE, definition of this teams #weaklink.

Good call.

FIFY

Why is Belt hitting behind Craw, and so low in the lineup?

b/c he's slumping. He'll move back up soon.

 

[SFGRTB]

This is a must bunt situation.

 

[msgkings322]

Pretty sure Bumgarner shoulda bunted there. He's not really a hitter, he's a good hitting pitcher, which is not the same thing.

 

[SFGRTB]

He's slumping and his OBP still leads the team. I guess today is a little better with all the regulars in there. It aggravated me when guys like Gillaspie batted 3rd.

 

[LHG]

Glad to see the trades have worked out so far (sarcasm, folks, sarcasm).

Should we even do a "guess the August record" thread?

 

[SFGRTB]

0-5

 

[calsnowskier]

0-5

Flem is going on and on about the 19-100 and something RISP streak they are on. This is painful to watch (listen to).

 

[SFGRTB]

Jesus. The ghost of Duffy is laughing at us.

 

[msgkings322]

Bumgarner has games where he just sucks. He's not Kershaw.

 

[SFGRTB]

The Phillies pissed me off last series, looks like more of the same here.
