GDT Champs @ TomahawkChop 8/15

[tzill]

CF Ross
2B Keppinger
3B Sandoval
1B Huff
RF Nate
LF Belt
SS Cabrera
C Whiteside
P Bumgarner

No significant ABs vs. Bum for the Bravos; Kepp and RoRo with nice ownage on Huddy.

Fuck those Native Americans....4-1 good guys.

 

[SFGRTB]

Won't be around for the thread, but will tune in post-game.

Important 4 game series here is an understatement.

 

[msgkings322]

Our best possible (healthy) lineup I guess.

When Beltran comes back, what happens? I guess it depends on Belt, if he doesn't keep hitting he's probably benched, but if he is...bench Huff? Move Nate to CF?

Jeez, who would leadoff in that lineup?

Here's the realistic dream lineup:

Coco Crisp CF
Kepp 2B
Panda 3B
Beltran LF/RF
Huff 1B (if he keeps improving)
Belt/Schierholtz LF/RF (depending on matchups I guess, or whether we need Nate in tricky RF at home...)
Ramon Hernandez C (is he still a waiver possibility?)
O Cab SS

That lineup isn't too bad actually. But we need to pick up 2 players to make it happen...

On the road vs a good team, 2 wins has to be considered a very good series.

Yes for sure, but if the Giants bend over to them, I'd be a little more worried.

For some reason, the Reds are being dumb fucks and seem to be holding on to him. Maybe they still think they're in it?

They're not going to offer him arb with Hannigan already locked up, and the best catching prospect in all of baseball waiting for a shot.

 

[Heathbar012]

So far this game is a lot like the NLDS. Good pitching. Awful Braves' defense.

 

[Heathbar012]

Come on, Belt! Keep that starting job!

 

[Giantsmojo]

What happened to Sandoval?

 

[Heathbar012]

Bummer. I'll shut up now.

 

[huskers1217]

Good luck tonight gents. You will need it. Go bravos

Pray Panda isn't hurt....

Can you imagine how bad our O would be if Font took over 3rd?

 

[Stokes1931]

I don't care how well Huff has been hitting since the ASB, average-wise, he needs to drive in runs. Our first opportunity with RISP, fail.

MadBum with another 1st inning homer.

Let's get some runs, boys.

 

[Stokes1931]

I dunno, I am having a hard time imagining how bad it is NOW.

 

[mistgl]

Whiteside can seriously go suck a dick.

 

[Stokes1931]

We just couldn't have Whiteside sacrifice bunt OC to 2nd, could we, Noggin? Instead, we play for the six run homer, and ground into a DP instead.

 

[Stokes1931]

After a 23 pitch first inning, the Giants let Hudson off the hook with a 9 pitch 2nd inning. Way to regress to the mean.

 

[SF11704]

Evening Gents!

 

[Stokes1931]

Freddie Freeman looks like a player, and a month short of being only 22. He has 453 AB's this season, with 16 homers.

Wonder what would have happened if the Giants had shown that sort of patience with Belt this year?

Of course, we prefer our vets, even with being the worst hitting team in baseball, we gotta play the vets.

 

[SF11704]

What the hell is wrong with Panda's foot? MLB just said an injury -
