I predict the winning team will score more runs than the losing team.

 

[Stokes1931]

Bases loaded with one out in the first, and Punchless Posey is up. GIDP?

edit: Or a K

Posey has been the unclutchiest hitter the last few years. Hopefully, with a full offseason to recuperate, next year he will hit better. Not holding my breath, though.

 

[Stokes1931]

And so it goes for these Giants. Kershaw is a great pitcher, but when you have him on the ropes early, you gotta score. Well, here's to another shutout tonight.

0-7 in Stokes situations...

Sax full in the 5th...

Have we found the SS of the future?

You sure you want to make such a risky wager?

That's quite risp-y of you to say.

How about that Tyler Rogers, LHG?

 

[1phlapdown]

TRo

 

[Stokes1931]

If they hold on, the Giants can pull within 23 games of the Dodgers! Baby steps.

Bold.

9 loses away from not .500 ball...

It could be worse:

GIANTS FEUD WITH SKIPPER WHILE THE SHIP SINKS

How about that Tyler Rogers, LHG?

He has thrown well in his appearances so far. If it was last year, or two years ago, I'd say I told you so. Considering his struggles in AAA this year, I am cautiously optimistic. However, I still wouldn't be surprised to see him dfa'd this offseason. I do hope, though, that if he continues to do well, he gets a chance to make the team next spring.

I hope he stays. Or that he joins his brother on the Twinkies. Can you imagine?

"Coming in to pitch the 8th for the Twins is Tyler Rogers. No. Wait. That's Taylor Rogers. Oh. Hold on. I stand corrected. It really is Tyler Rogers...."

The announcers would just wait for the first warm up pitch to determine which brother it is.
