After the ball punching last night, let's see if the Giants can save the series and the homestead. Ahmed gets a day. Let's hope Soler is heating up.

Took a quick look at the opposing pitcher today...damn, he's good.

Let's hope Winn doesn't shit the mound, runs will be at a premium today.

I preferred the old Chappy that simply K'd.


Ugh....

 

[msgkings322]

Back ta back jacks!

 

[msgkings322]

I love sac flies

 

[sf1giantfan]

We need more runs !!!!

 

[sf1giantfan]

Home run please, I’m speaking to you Chapman!!!

 

[sf1giantfan]

Home run please, I’m speaking to you Chapman!!!

Never mind he did the usual

 

[msgkings322]

Another win, and took the series. Pitching dominated as usual.

Keep it rolling

 

[msgkings322]

Doval isn't his old self yet but I think he'll get there, still been pretty solid overall just not lights out like most of last year

 

[sf1giantfan]

I guess we should expect Doval to give up at least one run when he comes in.

 

[Brightboat]

That's how you close out a series. Winn might turn out to be pretty good. 4th opportunity to get to .500 in Boston on Tuesday

Ugh....

should be careful what I ask for, I guess.

My thoughts:

Lee -- scalding the ball. Only 1-4 but he is as advertised --elite bat to ball skills
LWJ -- love the SF and solid D
Chap -- GIDP and 2 more Ks...this phuking guy...
Forto -- cooling off
Bailey -- solid defensive game
Soler -- Three Ks. Only silver lining was all three ABs were deep counts.
Tyro -- rested and he homered.
Yaz -- ditto. Might be heating up
Fitz -- three hits and solid SS. "Hey, Luci...not yet"

Winn -- just a solid, solid rotation piece. Spider/Harry/NewAce/Winn is formidable. SP ERA over the last seven games is 0.47. That's how this team is going to win.
Miller/Walker/Doval -- meh, but the job got done.

Get 'em in Fenway.

Maybe Yaz is getting on track, something we haven't seen in a while. It's getting hard to see how Slater and Flores justify starting positions

Agreed. Its hard to justify Slater even having a spot on the team. Flores on the other hand can get hot and he can carry them for a while. He can be clutch at times.

Slater isn't starting. Nor is Wilmer for that matter.

They're both reserves. I'd be much more concerned about Soler (100 ABs) than I would Slater (25 ABs).

 

[sf1giantfan]

Soler sucks

 

[tzill]

Soler sucks

So far this is unarguably true.

Even then, he's on pace to hit 30 HR.

I know and it is still early but he gots to start soon. He gots to.
