Sandoval homers to the same spot when he cost the Giants the No. 1 pick

 

[jeep99tj]

He got all of that one.

 

[SFGRTB]

Pence's stance is noticeably different, but I wonder if it will actually translate to anything so soon

Sandoval reminding fans why we missed out on Mize...

 

[LHG]

Fair enough. Not hindsight I really liked the move. Hanson has speed so the DP less likely, etc. Mainly it's due to my confidence in the pen.

No, you said you liked it before Hanson hit that double. I thought it was too early to pull Holland and use a bench player and I didn't want to change my view point in hindsight.

Ouch. So was the #1 pick this year so much better than our guy?

"This one is for Bart!"

I kinda like the new look. But like you said, let’s see if it translates.

To be honest, I'm a little scared about Mize's medicals. Typically a cutter is the hardest pitch for a pitcher's health and longevity, and it's his best pitch that he's been throwing a couple years already.

I like where the Giants ended up with Bart.

His stance is different, but his swing looks just as wild.

It's VERY similar to Mac's new swing, but Mac had an entire offseason of training for it, muscle memory and all. Pence picked this up a couple of weeks ago

Jackson's 5th appearance since May 22nd, when he last started a game.

I was thinking that too. He's still..... herky. Just took out the pre-swing load twitching

Agree. Mize is more of a “HR threat” pick, but I think Bart is the better sweet spot.

Saw that he was working on it during his rehab.

 

[LHG]

Saw that he was working on it during his rehab.

He even went to the same guy that helped Williamson.

 

[calsnowskier]

Saw that he was working on it during his rehab.

Yeah. He knew that he was done if he didn’t throw a Hail Mary. This is his Hail Mary.

 

[LHG]

Good spot to throw Johnson, with a 6 run lead.

 

[SFGRTB]

This could be Johnson's last appearance for awhile

PERFECT time for Johnson.

Again, I like Johnson. But he is the last guy in this elite bully.
