Game Thread: 8/30 Turds @ Champs

[calsnowskier]

Well, we'd probably see a 3-man platoon with Aoki/Pagan/Blanco. They would all be rested, that's fore sure.

Byrd doesn't hit lefties well. He will be a part of that rotation as well.

Is there any universe in which Max makes a playoff roster?

takeaways:

JLo should not be pitching to RHH
Broadway isn't ready for the show
Heston is #weaklink.

Don't know if we have enough SP to get 'er done this year.

I feel like Molina is due for a homer. He hasn't hit one against us in a couple games.

 

[LHG]

Is Byrd playing himself onto the '16 team?

I certainly think that's a possibility. If so, do the Giants re-sign Aoki too? Who starts and who backs up? Are there platoons in both left and center? Or does Pagan get the chance to start his last year on contract as the starter?

Coming into today, with the Giants...

.219/.286/.531/.817

Those numbers will obviously be better after today. But even coming into today, those are good numbers for a 4/5 hitter.

With his SLG as a Giant currently at .667, he's gotta be over 1.000 with his OPS. Obviously, he's not going to keep this up, but it's fun to think about how hot he is right now.

Are you suggesting off Broadway?

Well, they say the neon lights ARE bright...

Alright, rally time! Hoping we can somehow get the middle of the order up to bat.

Good problem to have to think about.

5.5M is a bargain for a player like Aoki. Even if he is only a platoon/#4 OF.

But with Tomlinson busting out, Blanco continuing to be a GREAT 3.5 OFer, an expected full year from Pence, Byrd maybe sticking around, Mac almost ready, Fargas maybe ready, Cole getting ready to push...

The OF is starting to look a little crowded.

"So, the Giants need a baserunner. And it'll be Adrianza to lead things off"

Fuck

Duff/KT/Shark/EA 0-15

Take one for the team, please.

He took that a little too literally.

Duff/KT/Shark/EA 0-15

0-16

 

[Robotech]

Sadly, that was too predictable.

 

[calsnowskier]

Is EA #2 in seniority on the team? He beats Timmeh by a few months...

 

[tzill]

would love Seaweed give Duffman a chance to make it 1-17

 

[Robotech]

He took that a little too literally.

LOL, next time, we'll have to specify that he take it in the arm, not take the last pitch looking.

 

[SFGRTB]

Tough loss when the middle of your order produces like that. Need the Chubbs to step up.
