Game Thread: Champs @ Snakes OPENING DAY

[Band of Brothers]

I have a feeling I might need heart pills this year. I am not as young as I used to be. Torture.

 

[Band of Brothers]

I love the way Joey P. follows the ball all the way to the catcher. Like Pete Rose.

 

[Band of Brothers]

great game for Pagan tonight 4 times on base.

 

[ColinCoby]

I would have sent Pagan on 2-0 or 2-1 if for no other reason than to avoid the DP.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Congrats to the A's ..8-0 winners on a one hitter. A good way to open their season.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Casilla shuts the door 1-2-3 in the 9th for his first save. A good well fought game.

Giants Win 5-4 and put that all important first W in the books.

Go Giants !!

 

[jeep99tj]

Great game. A little too close for me but then they wouldn't be the Giants then.

 

[calsnowskier]

1st place!!

 

[The Derski]

Congrats Giants faithful. Looks like az is again aiming for a high draft pick.

 

[moxie]

Perfect season so far!

 

[Stokes1931]

Had 'em all the way!!!!

Yes, but they would have been expecting that, and Noggin knew they'd be expecting it, so he really crossed them up there.

Ok, Jana Kramer.

 

[The Derski]

Damn.

I am out of it. I totally forgot to milk this bad boy.

Papa just reported that Bochy said Cain might be 2 weeks and might go on the DL. Ouch. Now what?

Does Petit get a start or two?

Let Bumgarner take his place in the rotation.

Not sure. I think he wants to keep Petit in the pen. I think it will come down to Peavy and his back. If Peavy's ok look for Vogie to get the starts. If not then Heston will probably come up.

 

[calsnowskier]

If he goes to the DL, Heston should get the first call. He had a nice spring, and Petit is super valuable in the pen. I would not be shocked if Petit is in the rotation before long, though.
