There is no explanation or reason to continue allowing Brandon Crawford to swing the bat. None. He’s no 0 for 7 in the
series, after Bochy not only started him, but allowed him to hit in the top of the fourth with a man on. Has he had a bunch of line drives that have been right at someone? No. Has he put together a series of deep counts, forcing the pitcher to work hard to get past him? Nope. He has barely gotten the ball out of the infield.
UPDATE: Arias is making me look like Nostradaumus. Two doubles in two at bats so far today.
UPDATE: Wow. Sandoval just hit one out of the park. Not just into the stands, no, he hit it out of the park!!
UPDATE: OK. He only hit it 422 feet, into the bullpen. At first, it looked like he hit it out of the park. Bottom of the ninth, Giants up 8-3, looking like themselves again. Three outs away from a miracle.
UPDATE: Giants win. Miracle. 9-0 at
home in Game Two, I thought they were done. Lincecum was huge today. Arias was huge, Sandoval has three hits, Pagan had a homer and a double, Blanco is the hottest hitter on the team. We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done.
Excellent web site. Lots of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And naturally, thanks in your effort!
the giants got where they are, thanks to craw’s d
i know you dont think d is important….guess you need to have a chat with crisp
ill be honest, im pretty fucking sick of the peanut gallery bashing guys like craw and hector
more so craw, cuz guess what john….he is one of us
go look at the pic in the piece in the chron
that kid was there on the final game of the 92 season…he is a fucking stick kid
so shut the fuck up…enjoy the game and watch craw do his thing
or become a fan of another team…like the fucking yanks
Not that I don’t appreciate the win, but why was Casilla pitching the ninth, ahead 8-3, instead of “mop-up” mota? I would much rather have Casilla 100% ready for Thursday’s game, now, most likely, he will be unavailable. I know Bochy wants to “win now”, but had a couple guys reach base, then bring him in.
No way Cain shits the bed twice in one series. Suddenly we’re looking like our old selves today, including Zito who was atrocious as we all knew he would be.
Right on cue, Arias doubles and scores.
Well, Bochy heard you. Crawford is out with Lincecum coming in.
Uncle Joe will say that defense matters, and he’s right, but Crawford isn’t THAT good with the glove. He’s good, but not good enough to overlook his propensity for sub-mediocrity at the plate.
Was thinking the same thing. Not only is he 0fer in this series, he’s pretty much owned by Leake. Just makes no sense.
