It is also bad that we have a losing record at home. 5 wins, and 9 losses vs. Ariz. Colorado, and San Diego. They better turn things around fast. Where is Angel Pagan when we need him. I mean now that Parker is hurt, as is Williamson.nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-81547792256843997002017-04-17T14:44:57.771-07:002017-04-17T14:44:57.771-07:00Parker out two months.

And even without that, too early in the season to be saying things don't bode well or that they bode well, see what Brother Bob noted. As you all report every year, the first inning isn't even over yet, and we would still have 8 more innings to go.<br /><br />If anything, I'm excited by Arroyo's early going, obviously won't do that over a full season but if he can keep it that hot into mid-May, and the LF continue to struggle, I can see the Giants promoting him to start at 3B while Nunez moves to LF or even super-utility, and stealing a start from many infield positions, as well as LF, to provide regular rest as well as give him regular starts. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-69087358617805018692017-04-17T11:07:21.644-07:002017-04-17T11:07:21.644-07:00They have to start using bigger newsprint.

The Giants now have a losing record against every team in the NL West that we've played, and we have yet to play the one team that we were supposed to challenge for the division crown. Maybe this is what this team needs. Maybe they need to realize that an appearance in the playoffs is not a given, that they need to start seriously chalking up a few W's before they are in a hole they can't climb out of. We'll get our chance soon enough. After KC comes Colorado in their house, then 2 series against LA and 1 against San Diego in SF with Cincinnati mixed in somewhere.Zonoreply@blogger.com
