Whoa whoa whoa, Giants, you're starting your ninth-inning meltdown one inning too soon!
EDIT: Wow, I can't believe this is happening again. What a joke.

We lost but at least the Giants are melting down again.
I hope Ned picks up some good bullpen arms before the deadline.

Now we get to face the red hot Rockies and I'm going to see the destruction in person tomorrow.

disappointing that they couldn't sweep against bronso arroyo and his 80 mph fastball
back to 7.5

As long as your team doesn't drcide to shit the bed late in the game, they'll be fine. Uggh I'm salty.

The great thing about the Dodgers is that if we're going to shit the bed in the game, we make sure to do it between the 1st and 7th.

Why does BJ hit 2nd? Why not move La Stella up to that spot? How dumb is your manager to keep penciling in a guy barely hitting .200 with a .200 OBP at the top of the order?
Well, as far as hitting TLS 2nd goes, that would give us all 3 of our lefties hitting in a row.

I'd like to see one game where minor doesn't give up homers. Glad GoT is starting in a few
At least they're almost always solo.

Mike Trout has to be the best player named after fish

The #Braves are considering promoting Bethancourt and moving Gattis to LF. J-Hey would move to CF and J-UP to RF http://atmlb.com/1lF4d82

That would be a disaster.

DH would solve everything.
No thanks.... Keep your DH. >_>
Embrace the dh. You know it's coming.

Why? Are they giving up on B.J. too?

Based God TLS. Uggla on suicide watch
Gattis defense in LF with Bethancourt's offense is going to be worse than having BJ in the lineup everyday.
Gattis in LF? Do they not remember last year? At all?
I remember there was a brave fan here that early in the year hated Gattis; do you still feel the same?
Anyway, bethancourt has been hitting .300 for the last month plus, he had a horrible start in AAA,, so maybe don't look at the whole picture.
But yeah, its too early to give up on BJ and Gattis in LF no es bueno.

Might have been me. I was definitely really worried about how he would develop, but he's clearly proven my worries wrong. Couldn't be happier about it.

Carpenter needs a reality check. Twice in a week throwing at people
No, that was probably me.
I'm not a big Gattis fan. All he is, is raw power. Although I want him to keep hitting bombs at his recent pace, I know that an 0-for-the-entire-month is coming.
Gattis isn't a very good C behind the dish but he's a gold glover there compared to in Left Field. Holy shit.
Honestly, he has no idea where his stuff is going.
Hopefully it's about to be going to AAA. Sick of him throwing gas on every fire.

Meanwhile McCann is stinking it up.
Normally I'd mention his high babip as a regression candidate but his LD% is really high.

Tommy La Stella (23) already has more hits this season than Dan Uggla (20).
Why is he at the MLB level? Because he rule 5'd? I was looking at his br page his only other experience stateside is 11 starts/12 games overall pitching in the Gulf Coast League.
Pirates wouldn't trade him to Milwaukee after MIlwaukee drafted him (Pirates didn't protect him because they figured no one would be crazy enough to pick him Rule 5) so Milwaukee said fuck you and is trying to stash him on the active roster all year, then send him to high A next season. I watched a bunch of him in Spring, he is fucking nasty. They have him dialing back his fastball right now from 95 to 89-91 so he is getting battered in the blow outs they let him pitch but the potential is there.
He has to be on the active roster essentially through July before the Brewers can DL him without any sanctions. It's working because 1. they have 10,000 relievers on the 40 man and 2. they have no good bats in the minors so having a 12/13 man pen isn't really hurting them offensively, unless you think losing a Falu at bat or two is the end of the world.
It's fun to watch. Brewers fans seem to hate it but it's a pretty fantastic way to get what will be the #2 arm in their organization next year.

D'Arnaud has five straight games with a hr and hitting like .400 since he's been demoted. Hopefully my man is getting that confidence back up and brings it up to the majors.
