Cinco de Mayo GDT (Wolf vs. Bumgarner)

[MarcoPolo]

No GDT by 11:30, so I'll give it a shot ...

Today’s lineup vs. left-hander Randy Wolf:
Pagan CF
Theriot 2B
Cabrera RF
Posey 1B
Pill LF
Arias SS
Sanchez C
Gillaspie 3B
Bumgarner SP

1) OK, I've been bitching about Bochy using Theriot at all the wrong times (i.e., against RHP) but FINALLY he gets it right. (or is that "finally gets it left?") {yeah, often Theriot is PH against RHP because Bochy has no choice because he's over-managed, but even given that, he shouldn't ever start against RHP.0

2) Pill is LF is still a bit scary, but ...

3) Today's game is to try to torpedo the Mayonnaise boat. Tomorrow, we'll switch condiments, and try to Sinko Da Mustard. (Do you relish my jokes?)

Ah CRAP! I just realized ... Sat day game ... means TV is on Fox. Shit! What horrid, blithering announcers are we going to get this week?

Hmm. Dave Flemming !! (he's not Jon Miller, but not too bad, and at least he knows the team) ... and Bill Schroeder

Another blown first base call.

 

[MarcoPolo]

So as to rub in how much the Royals got screwed in the Melky trade :

J Sanchez so far : 22.1 IP, 19 BB, 15 K, 6.04 K/9, 1.70 WHIP, 5.24 ERA

and he has yet to have more than 5.0 IP/start.

 

[MarcoPolo]

A Dive from Gillaspie!!

 

[TheSaboteur]

That awkward knee bend look painful.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Does it seem like opposing hitters foul tons of pitches off Giants pitchers?

 

[MarcoPolo]

Before the start of today's game, the Giants were hitting :

.276/.318/.410/.728 (bases empty) (and 3rd highest AVG in the majors with bases empty)

.202/.271/.315/.587 (RISP)

 

[MarcoPolo]

I know it's barely been a month, but ...

Chris Stewart .238/.273/.286/.558

Hector Sanchez .233/.244/.302/.547

 

[TheSaboteur]

Brutal no call on that check swing. Wow.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Aaaand the pitcher says "if y'all aint gonna knock anybody in, I'll do it MYSELF!". Go MadBum!

 

[van_basten]

Bum said fuck it i'll do it myself.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Tough out for Theriot. Went to the right side, hit it hard ... unfortunately directly at somebody. Had that gone through, it might have scored the go-ahead run.

 

[MarcoPolo]

For god's sake guys - that was a little-league screwup!! Call the damn fly ball !!

 

[MarcoPolo]

AMAZING defensive play by Melky, saves the go-ahead run from scoring !!!

 

[TheSaboteur]

Triple!

 

[TheSaboteur]

What's with all these RBIs?

 

[Giantsmojo]

What's with all these RBIs?

Whats that funny looking number under the SF?

 

[TheSaboteur]

Mota is painful to watch.
