Christian now 1 for his last 17

Not going to get it done.

And one CS.

What the hell is the point of bringing up a guy with sprinter speed if it isn't going to be used? Even as a PR.

Also FWIW, there are Hunter Pence rumors floating around as well. I don't know who we would be giving up, but we are strongly linked to him.

 

[Stokes1931]

On MLB Gameday, Nate's RBI groundout is the first video highlight, and it is all Dog highlights after that.

Personally, I think they ought to hijack the CSNBA feed and highlight the Melk Maids.

Great AB, Nate

Enjoy sending postcards back to your family in the Bay Area from wherever you are traded to.

I'm watching the parade of nations instead of this garbage. Is that wrong?

If I had my way, I'd cut Christain, Burriss and Whiteside right now. The minor leaguers brought up to replace them could not be any worse. And at least the kids might have a shot to get better.

Terrific patience by Nate and Riot there. Three pitches, two outs.

If Pence is traded and he does not end up in a Giants uni, I want Sabean's head on a spit.

I have no idea why Noonan was never given a shot over Burris this season. he's been having a solid season in triple AAA.

Problem is that Scutaro plays 2B and SS and the Giants need a 3B and a RF.

They're saying that he'll play 3rd for us.

He's not old enough.

Even if it was the 7th game of the World Series, I'd still approve of this move.

Exactly!

What are 30+ year old under-performing bench players doing up here anyway?

They are not really blocking anyone who is knocking on the door, aside from maybe Brown in September.

Whiteside is a short term fill in until Chez3 comes back. My fear is that Noggin and SabeySabes will like Whitie's "veteran presence" so much that they will keep Chez3 on rehab until September.

We are really missing Chez3 and Panda, as wild and undisciplined as they are, they can at least hit.

Hembree, Kickham, and Heston, shit i'll even throw in Nate.

Two damn near ready MLB arms that need maybe half a season in AAA before they can fill in a back end, or be eased via the Pen. Hembree, cause their pen is shitty, and Nate as filler. Maybe those two dingers got their twats moist.

they're not getting what they gave up, not when he's owed 4MM this year, and possibly 15MM next.

Giants acquire INF Marco Scutaro from Rockies for 2B prospect | SI Tracking Blog ? Tracking MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and NCAA On Twitter

Scutaro plays third, Panda at 1st? Maybe.

I think most of us would prefer to see more Posey/Sanchez at 1st, Panda at 3rd.

No matter what, the dudes going to play a ton, filling in all over the infield and coming in on double switches late in the game.

 

[Stokes1931]

Well done, Hensley! Time to be positive about something.

 

[ColinCoby]

Man, the Dodger pitchers tonight have had some goofy windups.

Melk!!

 

[CameronFrye]

Hooray for the MelkMaids!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Time for Posey to get the ball wet.

Edit: (sigh)

 

[CameronFrye]

I think CSNBA should be contractually obliged to show the MelkMaids between every pitch of the game.
