8/24 Tron @ Gnats

I hope Vogey can finish at least five with the lead.

Got your wish!

 

[msgkings322]

Holy smokes Blanco! Why didn't we have him in the lead off spot before?

 

[Band of Brothers]

Blanco with the triple. Most improved player over the last month or so.

 

[Stokes1931]

Pantshatter.....

Cal was only doing that as a proxy for me.

Nice AB by Guppy to hit the HR, but he still sucks as a leadoff hitter.

Ha! Look at that, he just tripled.

Like I said, Guppy sucks as a leadoff hitter.

 

[msgkings322]

Pence or Posey MUST score Blanco

 

[msgkings322]

LOVE me some sac flies! 6-2

 

[Band of Brothers]

After last night's HR around the neck I got a new nick name for Pence...the Lumberjack

Hey Lumberjack sac fly 6-2 Giants

"Bochy said he didn’t know if Lincecum would make his next start—scheduled for Thursday at home against Colorado.

For his part, Lincecum said he’d understand if the Giants use another starter in that game.

Which is combined Giants code for: We tried and tried, this isn’t working, maybe it’d be good to get Yusmeiro Petit back into the rotation."

Petit sucks as a starter. He had one great start last year, the one-hitter. This year, SSS, but ERA over 6.50

He's been awesome as a long guy.

I don't know why Lincecum is struggling so much. The first game after the no-hitter, or maybe two games later, he got scorched. And Baggs quoted him as saying he got away from doing what he had been doing. Well, dammit, go back to what you were doing! A conundrum for sure.

Tim may still have the heart of a champion, but it appears he no longer has the arm of one. (Sorry, BoB)

Willie Mays still has the heart of a champion too but we (probably) don't want him in the lineup.

LOVE me some sac flies! 6-2

In the first 26 games post-ASB, the Giants had only 1 Sac Fly

In the last 8 games, they have 8 Sac Flies.

And they are 5-2 in those games (with today's outcome TBD).

In those 26 games, they were 11-15.

Man, seeing Mays at the end of his career was heart-breaking. He couldn't run, could barely swing, no power.

Don't mess with Willie ...he still could hit .270 today with 20 jacks.

 

[Band of Brothers]

6-3 Vogey 5.1 innings 3 ER. Up to the Pen now.

C'mon man...you don't...I mean, you don't really...

 

[Band of Brothers]

Giants need to shut these Nats down pronto.

I like our chances with FYWW

 

[Stokes1931]

AB needs to go punch Patty. He's brought in to get lefties out, not give up doubles that were almost homers.

 

[Band of Brothers]

C'mon man...you don't...I mean, you don't really...

He is 84 years old. OK .250 and 10 jacks.

 

[msgkings322]

tzill, pass me a diaper...

LOL

But where does he play? Would have to be traded to an AL team to DH, right?
