Tomlinson - 2nd

Cain - p

Day off for Pence. Still no Panik (how long before he goes on the dl?). Only Duffy has 10 at bats against Rusin (Blanco 2 for 3, Posey 3 for 9, Tomlinson 4 for 8 with a home run! against Rusin). Blackmon, LeMathieu and Parra (.348 in 46 at-bats!) with ownage on Cain.

Los Gigantes win 10-9.

Sounds like Panik will play tomorrow. Pagan is probably out for the series.

Good to hear. He's been out of almost a week. Creates lack of depth for the infield.
Hopefully, Williamson will continue his hot streak in SF today.

 

[LHG]

How's this for bizarre? The Rockies are 9-6 on the road . . . and 4-8 at home.

 

[LHG]

Just found out Pence is out with some minor back tightness. Hope it really is just minor.

 

[SFGRTB]

It's god damn automatic with this guy.

(Granted, that was an awful pitch)

They need to walk him every time.

He is a beast AND he eats Giants pitching for breakfast.

Treat him like Barry Bonds. Walk him.

 

[LHG]

Looks like Cain is in mid game form. Single, home run, double . . .

What are the chances he escapes this inning in under 40 pitches?

 

[calsnowskier]

So..

How about this weather?

 

[LHG]

Good news, Bumgarner pitches tomorrow.

 

[calsnowskier]

How the fuck do they score from second on an infield single?

 

[calsnowskier]

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

 

[LHG]

More good news, the Rockies only scored three runs.

 

[LHG]

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

I know, Mark Reynolds hit an infield single.

 

[LHG]

If all goes according to plan, the Giants should charge through this inning in under 10 pitches.

 

[calsnowskier]

That's twice now Kruk has said "happy cinco de maya yesterday"

Someone needs to get him a calendar.

 

[SFGRTB]

I'm smelling this 19 combined runs

 

[SFGRTB]

Welp there goes the hope Panik plays tomorrow, according to Amy G.
