Same lineup as last night.

Aaron Hill with pretty major ownage on Vogey (13/30, 2 HR). He is batting 2nd for the Snakes tonight. Pacheco is 5/11 with 1 HR, but he is not starting. Goldy 6/24 with no HRs.

No Giants with any real experience against De La Rosa. Belt and Maxwell each with 1 career HR.

5-3 Good Guys.

Curious to see how De La Rosa pitches. Has nice stuff, but command iffy and leads to walks

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Stay hot Oxy

Aoki looks like an oriental Spock with those eyebrows.

Pagan staying hot.

 

[jeep99tj]

Posey!!!!!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Whew. Posey bomb

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Vogelsong looks so different with the beard

 

[jeep99tj]

Voggie looking good. Using that strike zone well.

I am a little pissed off right now. They put the Warriors game on CSN . A game that don't mean shit and the Giants game was banished to some other channel. It took me 15 minutes to find it. Nobody announced anything on TV or radio I heard. Bullshit..missed Posey's bomb because of it. They got 10,000 channels now and about 9,800 are bullshit info commercials and we pay for that they don't mean shit. Man, I am fucking steaming right now.

 

[jeep99tj]

They announced it during the post game show. It's supposed to switch to CSNBA after the basketball game.

 

[Band of Brothers]

I missed any announcement. At least stream something during the day with channel locations . The other thing is the Warriors game don't mean anything . It's all locked up. Everyone is just waiting for the playoffs. Giants are 3 time champs and they put them on some channel that was hard to find.

They aren't there to give you what you want. They are there to meet contractual obligations. Somewhere, in some contract, they had to show the Warrios game.

And the station would not have been hard to find if you knew where to go.

 

[jeep99tj]

Shit!!!!

 

[Band of Brothers]

Man, Vogey is steaming right now after that bomb he gave up.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Vogelsong's emotions are his kryptonite

Everyone has their own way. Vogey is a emotional pitcher like Peavy. Gotta let him be. It's the second game of the year and his first start. He just wants it bad. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Band of Brothers]

I finally saw Posey's HR. He put a nice swing on it.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Nice hitting by Belt. 4-3 ..coming back..rally time.

Except it has nothing to do with it just being his first start of the season. He is an overly emotional pitcher and when things like that walk to Goldschmidt happen, he needs a cool down/visit from Posey or he has a greater risk of giving up bigger hits

 

[jeep99tj]

I'm sure Vogie is trying to put himself in position to fill in for Cain while he's on the DL since Peavy is scheduled for his next start on Sunday. I'd be a little upset after the bomb too with that on the line.
