GAMEBALL and JOKER 07/20 GIANTS at BRAVES
GAMEBALL
SANCHEZ
Well, wasn't exactly a no- hitter, but hell what did you expect? As we watched the broadcasters talk about duplicating Johnny Vandermeer, honestly who wasn't thinking….STFU……but hey, lets give em a break, its like the first chance they have had to use this material since the TV was invented….or at least Cable TV……So tonight was a very encouraging sign in my box….a bit rough with the breaking ball early on and a little sloppy with location of a couple of fastballs, Sanchez wasn't nearly perfect again…..but all in all, 6 innings and 3 runs ain't bad against a hot Atlanta offense….and that 8 to 1 K:BB ratio is pretty damn good for anyone, let alone Mr Inconsistent……looks like he will get another start……especially with RJ on the shelf for whats sounds like at least mid August…..
TIP OF THE CAP :
WINN
Picked up Rowand and Uribe with a clutch 2 out knock to score 2 in the second for the early lead…..collected 2 hits and looks to be warming back up…..
URIBE
Looked ugly at the plate, but made the heads up running play to leg out a triple on a pop fly McLouth lost in the twilight.
SCHMIDT
He may be in blue, but he was a good Giants….welcome back to the league….to paraphrase a great thinker…. here is to a Healthy Happy Schmidt…..getting the shit kicked out of him……
JOKER
ROMO
Hey Sergio, how's the knee…..wasn't that just yesterday…..oh….feels fine???? Not sure if I believe it……after giving up 12 hits in 13 2/3rds….that's now 6 Hits and 6 Runs without an out????? Sure the league adjusts….but THAT FAST!?!?! I don't think so……Dude, you are the linchpin of the bullpen, sit your butt down until you are 100%.... you don’t want to screw up your arm by pitching at 90%....this isn't football…..
SMACK OF THE STICK :
PANDA
Ouch…..Pablo was drinking the happy swing juice during the break…… the streaking slightly selective Pablo has turned into a whirling dervish with a bat…..hacking at almost anything that makes it to the plate without bouncing…..and a few I am pretty sure never made it to the plate…..
NATE
0 for 4 with 3 K's…….I knew you should have never watched that Todd Linden Tips and Drills tape……and who watched VHS anymore anyway……
AURILIA
Pinch hit = 1 more week…..just be glad it wasn’t a homer…that would have meant 1 month…..
