  1. Kyle won't be able to live on the outside, it will be interesting to see how he attacks this inning.
  2. The thing that I find funny is he was always considered a low floor player but the opposite is true. His defense and base running can carry him to a 3-4 win season and if the bat ever catches up its a wrap.
  3. yikes i didn't even see this post when i made mine and i agree that it was odd that almora didn't come into the OF in the 9th I know it doesn't make much sense but maybe Joe was thinking that leaving Zorbrist in LF just in case the Giants tied it up or took the lead (gasp) in the 9th. Ben was due up 4th in the bottom half? Maybe wanted his bat just in case over Almora? Still Almora being out there is supposed to prevent the Giants from tying it up so while typing this it makes even less sense. I doubt Almora makes that play on Pousy's shot but he might have with his speed and it would have been a spectacular play. I kind of considered that as well. Almora just has the far-superior OF instincts and might have made that a closer play at 2B at the least. What you sacrifice by (in possibility of a tie or worse) having him in the lineup is his plate discipline, obviously is terrible compared to Zo but he would likely put the ball in play, not be succeptible to the shift, and has the benefit (to a small degree) of having a limited scouting report. Hope Joe starts going that route.
  4. Joe is putting out perfect lineups. Our DP tandem is outstanding and I dare them to steal on Wily
  5. https://twitter.com/TonyMassarotti/status/784768333707112451 LMFAO For real?
  6. Probably because of the early bobble on the Pence hit? Stupid stuff like that will be remembered and then when he makes the rest of the game routine, people think any 2B could make the harder plays he makes.
  7. Hendricks against a team that is actually worse than us against change-ups Good horsefeathering luck
  8. Agreed. Match-ups be damned now. I think we shouldn't worry about his bat vs RHP (also had huge oppo shot off Lackey last yr that basically crushed the Cardinals souls) and he should play everyday. Love him at 2B. If a guy basically leads the league in DRS at a position despite playing 800+ less innings than most of the leaderboard, keep him there.
  9. I was wondering that as I watched Zobrist go after Posey's double. I think he should. We might as well make the defense completely airtight in those moments.
