[Stokes1931]

Pagan CF
Pence RF
Posey C
Sandoval DH
Morse 1B
Arias 3B
Duffy 2B
Perez LF
Crawford SS
Bumgarner LHP

No MadBum as DH.

Duffy quick non-trip to Richmond/Fresno wherever. BB9 hurting again.

 

[msgkings322]

Morse probably woulda DH'd if Belt were healthy.

We must have him and everyone else healthy to make a run.

 

[Stokes1931]

Beast a chance to do some damage.

Bleh.

 

[SFGRTB]

Gosh, unfortunate news about Belt. Still can't get the fully healthy lineup with Belt and Pagan.

 

[calsnowskier]

Beast a chance to do some damage.

Bleh.

Batfuckery.

Giants don't deserve to win this shitfest.

 

[Stokes1931]

Brewers up early on the Doyers.

 

[Stokes1931]

Down 2-0 in the first. Monster HR by Butler.

Spit!

Bum approaching 30 pitches in the 1st.

 

[Stokes1931]

JP's HR challenged and overturned, then K's with men on 1st and 3rd and no outs.

 

[Stokes1931]

D@mmit!

1st and 3rd and no outs. How is it that this team just refuses to score in these situations?!?!

 

[Stokes1931]

1-5 with RISP already

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants 29th in MLB in scoring with runner on 3rd less than 2 outs.

Damn you feet of Pence

Damn you feet of Pence

Hey GPC. How are things?

 

[Stokes1931]

Two on and 2 out for Arias.

7 baserunners for the Giants in 2.2 innings, and no runs.

In Milwaukee, 28 hits for the Giants, 25 of them singles.

 

[Stokes1931]

Arias with his 2nd double of the game, drives in a run.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Hey GPC. How are things?

Quite well. Enjoying some preseason football, switch to SF during commercials.


Meanwhile Baggs increased my optimism about Castillo

 

[Stokes1931]

Duffy singles to drive in the tying run.

Aoki has 2nd OF assist of the game, both this inning (Pence at 3rd, Arias at home).

2-2

What is he saying? Link?

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

What is he saying? Link?

He had a chat yesterday, asked him about Castillo

"Ben Badler of Baseball America rules the roost on international signings and he has the Giants as one of the four finalists for Castillo. It makes sense since they are super thin on outfielders in the system, and they can't count on Pagan playing 125-plus games. (He's done that only twice in his career.) Castillo is said to be major-league ready, but not the kind of impact hitter Puig and Cespedes have been. The Giants have been active in bidding for Cuban players and offered five years to Jose Abreu. I do think they're going to make a push for him. Now, having said that, I have no idea how good Castillo can be. Just going off what others are saying since I've never seen him play"


Said it later here:
Rewind: Giants lose in Milwaukee, but waiver wire keeps brewing | CSN Bay Area


Basically, BA is saying Giants are among the finalists for Castillo and one of top-4 favorites

 

[MarcoPolo]

Aoki gets NAILED.
