9/27 GDT Worms @ Teh Z

Posey the bum...

 

[Stokes1931]

Whoa Stokesy! Sure thing brother. I like watching the patient, methodical at bats too. FPOM are frustrating as hell. I was more piggy-backing off of what Cal was saying about last year's postseason success, rather than making a declaration on what I'd prefer to watch. I'd much rather watch a team of Scutaro's and Posey's than a team of Panda's and Pence's.

It's all good, as long as we win.

And now Posey GIDP with the bases loaded. On the 2nd pitch.

Hoping for more, there.

Casilla inserted into Posey's spot in the order. Makes sense, Casilla is hitting .333, same as Posey. Don't lose much there.

 

[Stokes1931]

Chez3 with the big fly!

Blanco trying to tell Boch that Belt can sit in the playoffs...

 

[gp956]

Ball Game!

 

[calsnowskier]

Milk!

91 wins with 6 to play... I would be happy with 3-3, but would be ecstatic with 4-2 or better. Keep the blood flowing for the REAL games...

 

[calsnowskier]

We have 2 series remaining... I wonder if Boch is telling the guys to win both series as if they were playoff series. That would be a GREAT way to prep. If they win the first 2 in SD, then tank game 3, I think it would mean there is good chance that is the coaching strategy...

If the rotation remains as-is, it would be his start...

Strong tomorrow, Bum Saturday...

If the rotation holds:

Tron/Bum/Tim @ SD
Cain/Z/Tron @ LA

Game 1: Cain 5 days rest
Game 2: Bum 8 days rest
Game 3: Tim 9 days rest

Then, of course, we'd re-set our rotation for the NLCS.

Do you think they might throw Timmy in game 2, so he can pitch at home where he's much more confident and has done so much better? Timmy starting a game at the Reds park scares me.

What are Bums Home/away splits this year? I know in '10 he was AWESOME on the road, but I think I saw/heard he struggled on the road this year? (I am at work and do not have the time to do my own dirty work, sorry)

Giants are 5-0 in Timmy's last five road starts.

IP - ER in those five starts:

7 - 2
6 - 1
5 2/3 - 1
6 1/3 - 2
6 - 3

In his last six home starts, the Giants have lost four of those.

Fair enough, I was just wondering.

I really don't. I think you throw your best two pitchers at AT&T, and hope you go up 2-0, figuring you can win one on the road.

So do you go Cain/Bum, with Cain going in game 5 in Cincy, or Bum/Cain, with Bum going in game 5? I am concerned with sending Cain out there in Cincy. He is an extreme fly ball pitcher. Leading with Bum also sets up Cain for game 1 in the NLCS.

You go with your best pitcher first. Cain in game 1. If he gets beat by HRs in game 5, then so be it. I'm hoping for a 2-0 lead going into Cincy, then either Zeets or Timmah coming through so there is no game 5.
