He har...I am finding a new respect for Samardzija. He hardly walks anyone, which may be part of why he sometimes allows some runs that perhaps he doesn't have to. That is, a little less of the plate may result in an occasional walk, but also some swing-and-misses or balls hit into outs. But hey, a win is a win and who's quibbling? How many folks thought Giants fans would be jazzed by 3 wins?Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-36853699047866043252017-05-14T17:02:09.499-07:002017-05-14T17:02:09.499-07:00Giants out of last place.

A Reds' error led to the giants first inning rally. I was surprised that an error went to Duball on the throw to the plate and not the catcher. I wonder if that will be changed. Giants right fielder and center fielder need to coordinate better. Duvall's double was a can of corn that both fielders just stood by and watched drop. 2 errors in one game by the slick fielding Redlegs is an anomaly. Let's take this momentum and continue winning vs the bums. nomisnalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.com
