Game Thread: 8/7 Champs @ Chubbs

[tzill]

1. Angel Pagan (S) CF
2. Kelby Tomlinson (R) 2B
3. Matt Duffy (R) 3B
4. Buster Posey (R) C
5. Hunter Pence (R) RF
6. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
7. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
8. Justin Maxwell (R) LF
9. Ryan Vogelsong (R) P

Oxy still inexplicably in the lineup; Talented Mr. Kelby in the 2 hole; Max in for Seaweed.
Rizzo 3/5 with 2 bombs vs. Tron; Seaweed with Lester ownage but sits for Oxy....

I'm not predicting. Moundshattery from Tron is unacceptable.

With Aoki sitting today, coupled with his early pull yesterday (we talked about that to death during the game), I am not sure how you can not read into that that his leg is bothering him.

Not good news. Leake placed on DL, Osich recalled.

Agreed. He's gotta be hurt.

BelFUCKINGtranny redux.

Odd numbered years just ain't ours, I guess....

I'm not trying to argue with you.....but, damn, you are so freaking negative it almost makes leaving this page an option.

Leake going on the DL sucks, but all we have to do is stay in it.....we are only 3 back in the West and .5 back in the WC. If the offense gets hot again, they can carry us for 2 weeks. If we have Leake back for the final 6 weeks of the season, and we stay within striking distance in both races, I like our chances.

 

[calsnowskier]

Flem saying in the pre-game that the injury is not that severe, but the DL is being used because the bully is soooo strapped.

Bad time for him to go down (at the beginning of the gauntlet), but nothing so far points to this being anything more than a roster-manipulation issue.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

I'm guessing they can go retroactive to Monday?

Seriously, dude. If it upsets you that much, please put me on "ignore."

Yes.

On the plus side, Osich is back up. The bullpen is better with him in and Vogelsong out. The starting rotation, on the other hand . . .

Is the weak link of the team?

That's what I was thinking. The Pen is much better with Osich in there. Obviously, you want Leake in the rotation, but if Vogey channels his May stretch for a couple starts, it might not be the worst thing.

Doesn't upset me at all.....just making an observation.

Crank on, cranky......

 

[SFGRTB]

I still can't believe Lester refuses to throw to bases. We should bunt some today.

Oxy now 5 for his last 35 ABs....

More reason for Blanco over Pagan, even in a lefty vs lefty situation.....

Re-read your post. That's not an "observation." It's a complaint wherein you say it almost makes you want to leave.

At least be honest.

Or Aoki. I do like he put Tomlinson 2nd though, put some pressure on if he can reach.
