GDT Champs vs Birds 5/31

[calsnowskier]

CF Torres
3B Tejada
2B Sanchez
LF Burrell
1B Belt
RF Ross
SS Crawford
C Whiteside
P Vogelsong

Why not put Belt batting 2nd? He is an OBP machine...

Here is how I would place the lineup, assuming these starters...

CF Towers
1B Posey 2.0
2B Franchez
LF TOP
RF Ssory Doc
3B MiggE6
SS Slammer
C Not Posey

Burrell the only Giant besides RoRo with any ownage over Carp. Poo owns Vogs.

Let's hope Vogs can continue his success streak.

Hear hear.

No shame on Vogs, Poo probably has ownage on tons of dudes.

True dat. And it's not extreme ownage (5 for 13 with one bomb).

Fuck Poo; Raptor Jesus for the Win!!

If all Vogs gives up is a solo bomb to Pujols, then I'll take it. Go Vogs!!! Go Belt!!! Glad he's in the lineup.

 

[Heathbar012]

It would be really nice to steal this one.

 

[Heathbar012]

Good start to the second, Boss!

 

[Heathbar012]

Carpenter is starting to leave his pitches up. Good sign.

 

[Heathbar012]

Alright, Vogs. Help your cause.

 

[SFGRTB]

2 well excecuted hit-and-runs gives the Giants a run.

Yeah. Great calls. I think we'll be seeing a lot of those for the rest of the year.

 

[Heathbar012]

This ump doesn't appear to like the high strike. That helps Carp when he is on. A little too early to tell, but let's hope he is off.

 

[Heathbar012]

That Berkman has really turned himself into a bargain. More so than even Aubrey Huff last year so far.

EDIT: $8 mil is still pretty pricey. We'll see where he lands in the MVP voting vs. where Huff landed last year.

I thought he would do pretty well, but not this good.

I guess the same expectation I had with Huff lol.

 

[Heathbar012]

Great come back against Rasmus! Down 3-1 and gettin' the K. Vogs is awesome. Barry Zito truly has turned into a richer, quieter version of Spaceman Bill Lee.

Hahahaha. Yeah. It shouldn't have been surprising, but I figured if he couldn't get it done in a line-up as great as the Yankees during a contract year, he must be done. Words eaten.

EDIT: Not that the Cardinals line-up is full of slouches.

 

[Heathbar012]

Rough start to the third. Let's see it, TOP!

 

[SFGRTB]

So, Volgelsong only has his fastball right now, and he rolls right through the lineup the first time through.

Hopefully he can find his breaking pitches, it was evident in that AB to Carpenter that he might need it later.

 

[Heathbar012]

Shit. Hits by the opposing pitcher are a bummer. Better than walks though.

+1. Great points.
