GDT: 8/23/12 - Braves @ Teh Posey-less

[ColinCoby]

Hanson above 60 pitches.


Edit: 72 pitches.

If your manager puts the hit-run on when the count is 3-1, is he telling you he wants you swinging at anything close?

 

[ColinCoby]

Barry Zito pitching very well (except for the 3 walks). It has become impossible to predict how this guy might perform.

Last five starts:

4 IP 4 ER

5.1 IP 4 ER

6.2 IP 2 ER

4.1 IP 7 ER

5.1 IP 4 ER


Tonight:

5 IP 0 ER

Seems to be better when Hector catches him, although it's SSS.

 

[gp956]

Worst AB of the year for the panda.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Even Pence doesn't look that bad.

 

[ColinCoby]

Man that was ugly.

Could have bounced that on the mound and Pablo would have swung at it.

 

[gp956]

Brains Pence!

 

[ColinCoby]

Pence!!

Why not??? 2-0

hmmm, every starter has a slightly better sOPS when Hector catches them (save for Vsong who Hector has not caught).

 

[gp956]

Yes!!

 

[ColinCoby]

Belt would have caught that.

3-0

 

[gp956]

You see? ....good things happen when you put the ball in play.

 

[ColinCoby]

Who needs Posey?!

5-0

As you said the other day, you gotta like how this team has battled since Melk got suspended.

BABIP gods are smiling on the Giants in this inning.
