You mean we have six walks, and the Fish have two walks. (#nojinx)

It means we win by at least three runs, but I could be wrong.

Great call!

Every time this lineup gets so close to being full-strength, another one goes down.

Broken hand for Longo.

Bad news, guess he'll be out for a few weeks.

Well, this is where our apparent depth helps us. We were wondering how to keep guys like Panda and Hanson in the lineup, so not a huge problem. It's still the starters.

Feel bad for him but it's not going to hurt the team that much. Longoria currently has one of the worst ops on the team.

Veteran presence purposes...

I had a hard time deciding whether to laugh at that one or mark it as a "winner".

I guess it depends on the break. Could be a couple of months.

With Pablo and Hanson I don't mind so much. Crawford or Posey or Cutch would be way worse. Still not good but I'm trying to focus on the positive

 

[LHG]

Paniks hitting stats YTD are awful.

He's absolutely sunk them after coming back from his injury. They were pretty decent when he went down.

I'm somewhat worried about the defense over there if Hanson and Sandoval are the guys filling in. Definitely falls off big time there. But the bats could upgrade

So we should have lots of rested folks for the stretch run.

That solves the problem of the Giants having to think about jettisoning Gearrin and where to play Sandoval once Belt comes back.

Was Longoria's defense this year THAT much better than Sandoval? I haven't seen Longoria's defense much but I thought I've heard that its been a step down from his GG caliber stuff.

Yeah but that's what Crawford and (usually) Panik are there for. Two gold glove caliber up the middle should take some stress off Hanson or Panda. That's may just be optmitsic personality coming out after a win though.

I like seeing this at the bottom of the thread:

I am not sure I agree. Longo’s D has been a bit head scratching and in-shape Sandoval has some pretty stellar D.

I may PREFER Pablo at 3rd over Longoria...

Going from Nunez last year to Longo this year has been a major upgrade (I know that doesn't say that much).

He hasn't been young Longo over there, but I think he's been mostly fine

edit: I didn't finish my thought because I got distracted by Cal's response.

The defense at 3rd has been notably better because of how bad it was last year. How much that has to do with Nunez an co. being so bad, or Longoria being good is tough to tell. There are a number of plays that Longoria has made this year that would not have been made last year. He hasn't been elite, but seemingly pretty fine

I don't think I've seen enough of Pablo to make that decision yet.

Seen enough of Hanson to know.

Seen enough of Longoria to know he's better than Hanson.

All that being said, it still might be a wash with the bats

 

[calsnowskier]

I would rather have him than not have him.

But he is not a critical loss. Especially with Belt days from coming back.

Yeah this is probably the most 'fine' I've felt after a major injury this year

 

[1phlapdown]

The last time Holland pitched he d. Max on the road and tomorrow he faces Strip, a reliever turned starter who is making the most of this opportunity.
