GDT Champs @ Turdinals 6/2

[Stokes1931]

Wow. As much as I like what I have seen of Crawford, his throwing accuracy needs some improvement. Nice stretch by Huff to catch that throw and make the out.

 

[calsnowskier]

At McCovey Chronicles the main guy (I think) posted that we should all get used to the fact that when Panda comes back, it's Crawford getting benched, not Miggy. Because Bochy only plays vets.

If the next 2 weeks look like the last one for those guys, is that even possible? Wouldn't Bochy at least let Crawford stop being hot before benching him?

Back to the game: Sanchez with another failure to even try to hold a guy on. Half the bases empty singles and walks = doubles today, guys.

Doubt it... Remember in '09 when Ishi was carrying the team and Panda hurt his elbow? Ishi was hitting about .600 for an 8 game stretch, than did not see another AB for like 4 or 5 games.

I believe the job, right now, is Crawford's to lose. I am just saying that Bochy does not always play the hot hand, and some guys are just destined to sit, regardless.

Well, now the G's have some video on the kid. Hopefully that equates to a 5 run inning.

Okay, I would like to see the Giants to be more agressive early in the count the second time through. This guy is only throwing fastballs to get to 2-strike counts, then mixes it up a bit, but still a lot of fastballs.

 

[Stokes1931]

Has Sanchez thrown a first pitch strike tonight?

 

[SFGRTB]

That sequence was U-G-L-Y

Not sure but he just did one. FWIW

 

[msgkings322]

Oy.

Go Nationals!

 

[Stokes1931]

You play with fire, you are going to get burned. Triple by Rasmus, the two walks score. Poo.

 

[tzill]

And the run scores because of the steal.

The steal was on Whitey; the walks are on fucking BAD CHEZ.

This one looks bleak in the third, guys.

 

[SFGRTB]

There we go Huff!

 

[calsnowskier]

8-O

welcome to the team, Aubrey...

 

[Stokes1931]

Hopefully, Huff is heating up. I care not at all about his average, he is paid for homers and RBI's.

 

[SFGRTB]

That looked like the good, flat Aubrey swing. Not the pull-happy, upper cut one.

 

[msgkings322]

Have to drop in and out, but HUFF DADDY!

Couldn't get hot at a better time...

Has there EVER been a time where you have said...

"We really did not need you to get hot now... Could you cool down a bit for the time being?"

Sanchez obviously settling down nicely. He'll end up with 7 innings and just the 3 runs.

 

[tzill]

Thank G-d for Huffy...hopefully Chez can settle down and give us six.

Jinx.
