GDT 8/14 SD at SF

MadBum already struggling...if he gives up more than 1 in the first, I can't see us digging out.....

 

[tzill]

This is fucking ugly early. 30 pitches in the first?????

Not a good start for the Giants offensively either....just as I type that Fontenot gets his first hit as a Giant and it's an extra base hit.

 

[tzill]

Solid double by Font....cmon Aubrey!!

Freddy might not start for a while...

Great pitch. Not sure why Huff is bitchin'.

Huff has the best view of that if he is looking straight down. I have had that happen to me where people said it was a strike, but looking straight down I could see dirt between the plate and the ball. It did look like it tailed back in though.

Looked like a strike to me too...he has to swing there. 21 pitches out of Latos that inning.

I like Huff's fire. In the middle of battle, sometimes you react a little more strongly than you should. Which is fine.

Agreed. Glad he's ours. Now if Gerald can just start hitting again....

Good inning by MadBum....now can we PLEASE score??

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

A big game from Posey would be nice today.

Love how the kid keeps fighting.

I think Huff's point might have been that you can't give the pitcher everything. You can't give him the same pitch that starts on the outside corner and then tails off the plate (which the ump called a strike earlier in the AB), give him the strike at the letters and below the knees (which he'd also called), and then give him that inside pitch too.

OTOH if the ump is going to have a big zone it should be to Bumgarner's advantage as well. Bum just hasn't been as good with his location so far.

 

[tzill]

Gerald made him throw seven, anyway....

 

[tzill]

Cmon Panda....

 

[ElJimador]

Same pitch to Sandoval not called a strike this time. Maybe Huff's complaining helped.

 

[xxERICSMITHXX]

Watching this game on Fox...fuck these announcers. They need to get off their knees and stop blowing Guillen. It takes a little bit more than a strong arm to play RF at AT&T. Plus, they are talking up his bat like he is Albert Fucking Pujols.

 

[tzill]

And Panda makes him throw six....

 

[tzill]

Oh, UUUU....
