Pagan-8
Duffy-5
Belt-3
Posey-2
Byrd-9
De Aza-7
Tomlinson-4
Bumgarner-1
Adrianza-6

I like Bum hitting before EA. Better chance at an RBI. Boch throwing Pagan and De Aza right out there.

Posey 7-21 (all singles), Belt 4-14 (HR), Byrd 5-26 (HR), Bumgarner 1-3 (HR), De Aza 3-8 versus Greinkie

Oh joy. Pagan back in the lead off spot again. Yipee.

Craw sitting.

Shit. His ankle is hurt

 

[calsnowskier]

Dont really know what to expect from De Aza. MSG, can you provide an insider's report, seeing as he used to play for your #1 team?

Yeah, the HBP is getting him sore.

The HBP is getting ME sore...

Career .755 OPS versus right-handed pitchers. 40 of 45 homers against righties. Not all that great defensively, but experience playing all 3 positions. Showed good speed early in career and in minors, don't know why he stopped running recently.

Assuming he'll be a semi-regular versus right-handers, and sit versus all lefties.

He was preparing for his time with the Giants.

So, I'm kinda glad I can't see the game tonight. Can't stomach Adrianza any longer.

OK, seriously, if you want my expert wisdom you gotta take that back...

Yeah, it's pretty much the season in a nutshell that we are hanging on by a hair and we have to run that complete waste of baseball out there every single game. Same with Cain/Vogey/Huddy....just too many holes in the end.

Interestingly, Greinkie is also hitting 8th

But for them, it is to set up the top of the lineup. For us, it is because our SS hits worse than a pitcher.

There are a few players who hit worse than Bum.

 

[SFGRTB]

Incredible. LA acquire Ruggiano yesterday minutes after Giants got De Aza. Both making debut in LF, both batting 6th.

The similarities in this game are eerie.

 

[calsnowskier]

Anyone else having issues with the Hoop tonight?

Yeah it's off and on.

 

[calsnowskier]

So far, Giants up 20-11.

 

[calsnowskier]

Yeah it's off and on.

Ok, good to know. Probably a slow GDT tonight, than. Last night was exhausting anyway. I hardly feel like watching baseball, but I can't miss Bum/Greinke...

 

[calsnowskier]

Gotta be a hit
