The Giants took two of three from the D'Backs to complete a very successful road trip to Colorado and Arizona where they won four of six games combined with a few more Dodger losses dropped their magic number to nine. The Giants are planning on wrapping up the NL West on their upcoming ten game home stand. Although the Giants are not great at home they should win enough games combined with Dodger losses to win the west before playing their final six regular season games on the road.
Comments - You may have noticed Francisco Pequero at the plate during yesterdays game. He swings at just about every pitch and most of the time misses. He is #5 Giant prospect and #2 outfielder behind Gary Brown. Maybe he can't hit but he is fast. The Giants have a habit of drafting outfielders who can run but the question is can they hit. They need outfielders that hit like the catchers they draft. . . After benching "Fatty" Sandoval for a game he was back in the lineup in Arizona. He responded with three hits but then promptly went hit less the rest of the series. The thought is the Giants cannot win without Fatty. I had the same thought in 2010 but I was wrong and maybe the Giants are wrong now. . . Runzler was given an opportunity to show what he could do Sunday and promptly allowed two batters to get on base. He has really regressed in the last three years. Machi looked good for an inning yesterday but last week when the pressure was on he came in and failed to do the job. Bochy can count on about ten pitchers of his nineteen man staff a batter out.
The 49ers beat the Lions Sunday. Why was the game so close when the 49er dominated the Lions? Poor 3rd down calling early in the game resulted in field goals rather than touchdowns.
