The SF Giants offense, coming into the series against the Reds, was clearly one of the top two or three offenses in the NL, scoring an average of 5 runs per game during the second half of the season, and over 5 runs per game on the road all season
long; featuring a lineup boasting the National League’s best hitter and likely MVP.
In the last two games against the Reds, the team has managed 1 hit during the first seven innings of both games, largely laying to waste any illusions Brian Sabean might have about next season.
Not changing the lineup, not replacing Crawford with Arias, not dropping Sandoval to fifth and getting Posey up third…. Does Bochy realize they are in a do or die?
UPDATE: Well, it’s the eighth, Arias is finally in, but really, I think Bochy really dropped the ball here. If today wasn’t the day to make some changes and shake up the team, I don’t know when you would. He needed to do something. This was not the time for viagra “staying with what got you here.”
As of right now, we’re looking at a 17 inning stretch in which the Giants have had a total of 3 hits.
UPDATE: Wow. We got lucky. Maybe that’s all we need. Sure hope so.

Sandoval, Pence, and Posey have “ownage” on Mike Leake. If Leake comes out and shuts those three down in game 4, the Giants were never going to win this series anyways. Leake has owned Crawford, and Crawford has sucked ass in this series. It’s time for Bochy to give Arias a shot. You come out and go offense in this game, hope Zito can get some outs… and then turn around and hope Cain can beast fuck everybody in Game 5.
craw has made some very nice plays from ss
john may not think so…but defense matters more than offense
so craw plays and arias comes off the bench
this kid says…fuck you…i was at the stick

i think you guys are forgetting something
in the post…pitching and defense win games
wow we got lucky!!!! let the light shine on arias and his fleet of foot!!
God… heart attack waiting to happen. Affeldt, Casilla and Romo were massive in this game. If you told me 2 years ago that the Giants would throw Ryan fucking Vogelsong and Barry Zito in back-to-back elimination games over Tim Lincecum, I’d have herniated myself from the laughter. If Zito wins tomorrow, I swear to Christ the baseball gods are on crystal meth.
Yeah, it feels like Bochy is puckering. Pence should have been benched. He should have put H. Sanchez in to catch, Posey at first, Belt in left, and Blanco in right. Pence just looks lost. Stares at two pitches right down the middle from Bailey and then chases strike three a foot outside. Just terrible approaches to the plate from everybody tonight. Bochy has been toying with the lineup all year and it takes an 0-2 hole and 3 hits in 17 innings to finally make a move.
Too little too late.
