GDT - Giants at Reds - 10/10/12

[filosofy29]

Casilla, Mota, and Cain would be best equipped to pitch high in the zone. It's a problem.

That's what I was afraid of. Mota scares the crap outta me and I don't want Cain to come out of the pen.....especially being on 3 days rest. Casilla can't go 6 innings, lol. Would Kontos do well?

I was surprised to see Navarro in today as well. Not sure why they wouldn't run Hannigan out there. I know Mesoraco has caught for him in the past, so I know he's not specific to Navarro

Yeah, it seemed strange. Whether it was just the Giants bats struggling or Hannigan's game calling, whatever it was, was working. Why change? It's like Dusty is punishing the two guys who were responsible for the run last night.

Be careful with this guy, he can hit. I think he hit a homer off of Cain earlier this year.

Classic Dusty. He sat Jay Bruce in the middle of a 16+ game stretch where he was hitting over .500 with like 9 HRs.

Kontos? I don't think so. His out pitch is the slider low and away. If the hitters can lay off of it, then he's vulnerable.

Damn, Phillips is locked in on his swing.....and scary. Loud foul ball there. Nice try by Moped, but BABIP'd.

 

[gp956]

On the flip side, Iassogna has the second largest "high strike" zone in the majors.

 

[gp956]

Franchez gets that.

 

[Heathbar012]

Franchez gets that.

Who?

 

[filosofy29]

Zito with two outs and nobody on.....the Reds have him right where they want him.....

 

[filosofy29]

Who?

Ghost Freddy told Hector in the dugout.

 

[gp956]

Ump is calling exactly to his scouting report. This is going to be a struggle for Zito to get through four or five innings.

 

[filosofy29]

Fucking BABIP is just killing us.....or is it our lack of range?

 

[Epic Voidfield]

Zito with two outs and nobody on.....the Reds have him right where they want him.....

Why...why oh why!!!

 

[filosofy29]

How the fuck was that a ball to Votto?

 

[Heathbar012]

Ghost Freddy told Hector in the dugout.

Fuck, Zito! Votto up with runners on now?!

 

[gp956]

Scutaro is coming up small in this series.

 

[filosofy29]

lol, exact same pitch now called a strike.

 

[Heathbar012]

How the fuck was that a ball to Votto?

Hahahaha. Almost the exact same spot for the strike call. Ridiculous.

 

[filosofy29]

Why...why oh why!!!

Reverse jinx my friend.

 

[Heathbar012]

Fitting. This is a Zito start, for sure.
