Duffer makes his debut. Parker added to the bench (yet ANOTHER player passes Brown, and this time a player from his own class).

Will Brown still be in the org next year? I am starting to question if he is worth the roster spot in the off-season. I do kinda hope they give him a cuppo before they kick him to the curb, though.

Murphy 4-8 vs. Tron....overall Mutts hitting .200 against him.

Posey .400, Panda .300 vs. Niese; oddly Uggla hitting .303 vs. him as well.

Mutt those mutting mutts.....5-3 good guys.

Actually, I'm encouraged by the inactivity on the trade market.

I will take base hits with runners on base, but damn, this station-to-station stuff just bothers me.

Am I just focusing on something that isn't an issue, or do we actually have an extremely high rate of station-to-station hits this year?

You and me both, brother. You and me both.

Good to see Duffy get called up. I wrote a thread about him about a month ago.

I wonder how the Giants do when they score first.

Does anyone have that kind of info?

It's inconceivable...

That Duffy kid is a skinny kid.

 

[tzill]

Through 11 hitters:

One pitch seen: 2 batters
Two: 7 batters
Three: one batter
Four: one batter

Then again, 2-0 baby!

Whelp, there goes Tron's perfecto...

That Duffy kid is a skinny kid.

Kid is right...we have a thin team (majors and minors), and guys like Duffy and Susac and Panik were rushed to the majors because of injuries.

 

[msgkings322]

Whelp, there goes Tron's perfecto...

No hitter still in play!

And a nice SDI to boot...where's Stokesy?

 

[tzill]

Shark seeing more pitches in his AB to lead off the fourth than the entire team saw in the third.
