The Giants lost two out of three to the Red Sox in a series that wasn't that close. The Giants won Tuesday evening on a walk off walk by Scutaro. Everybody was waiting for the the last pitch to be called a strike since it seemed to hit the corner. But no it was a ball and even instant replay could have saved the Sox because you will not be able to challenge balls and strikes. . . The final game was horrible led by Scutaro's continual poor play at second base. . .If I didn't know better I would say Scutaro had a clause written in his contract that he gets to play any day he wants. . . I still believe Arias should be playing everyday someplace in the infield. When he plays regularly he hits. . . Scutaro slid into first base head first the other night and was out. When you look at the replay you see how he slows down when his belly hits the dirt. It is a stupid play because it easy to get hurt and it is not faster then running across the bag. On Sunday Sandoval was out when he dove head first into first causing bodies of the pitcher and the first baseman to go flying all over first base. A video on the Giants website mentioned that Pablo got spiked on the play. He probably did but he also hurt his back. This has caused Sandoval to miss three more games because he made a stupid play. The suggested cause of the back problem has been the long 5 1/2 hour flight home from Florida. I can't believe Sandoval sat the entire trip. I read that Sandoval has hired his brother as his private chief and the results are showing since Pablo has reportedly lost 22 pounds since the All Star break.. I like to see how much the brother weighs.
