Gotta beat the best to be the best.  And if you can beat Madison, that should give them a ton of momentum and people will stop cutting their wrists after a loss.

No, his reaction after the play just reinforced what I don't like about him.  He made a nice catch though

Does he have some amazing record against Bumgarner? Otherwise I can't see risking his defense out there on a night where you're going to need to limit the other team's opportunities as much as possible.

He's 3 for 9, with 2 doubles and 3 strikesouts against Bumgarner.

Every game, Ashby and Blum will comment on what a good swing so and so had. Sometimes it's after a foul, usually after a whiff, but rarely after squaring one up. I never stop learning about baseball.

Were Altuve and Gomez' ABs both 1-pitch affairs? Have they never heard of taking a pitch or two to give your pitcher, who just batted, a breather?

No, his reaction after the play just reinforced what I don't like about him.  He made a nice catch though

Fair enough... I don't really get the disdain for his reaction there (and similar) though - it's not like he's doing it (there or elsewhere) to show folks up - just showing a little fire and that's a good thing IMO...

Were Altuve and Gomez' ABs both 1-pitch affairs? Have they never heard of taking a pitch or two to give your pitcher, who just batted, a breather?

Yep, both swung and popped up the first pitch

I don't see the showboating as "fire", I see it as "it's all about me".  Just rubs me the wrong way.

Didn't see that as showboating... From my vantage, he just looked like a guy who ran into a wall and made a great catch and showed a little fire - didn't see any showboating there...

On another note, another E from Kazmir... I think we can agree that that sucks ass...

B6:

Pence grounds out 6-3
Belt homers to LF
Crawford grounds out 6-3
Maxwell with a chopper in front of the plate...Kazmir picks up the ball...counts the seams, checks the signature...finally throws to 1B and doesn't get him
Adrianza with a chopper in front of the plate...Kazmir picks up the ball and throws it into RF.  Maxwell comes around to score, Adrianza to 3B

That's it for Kazmir...Fields in

Bumgarner strikes out swinging

But the Giants pick up two runs, one earned...lead 3-0

What was "nonchalant" about that 2nd play? Kazmir got to it fairly quickly and then made a rushed, piss-poor throw when he should've eaten it, no? Maybe I'm wrong, I'll have to see another replay.

I'm quite proud of him for running hard the whole way.  I really didn't think this was going to be dropped.  Way to go Gattis, runner on third with one out, let's see how they strand him.
