The first 3 innings went better than I thought they would. Surkamp mostly kept the Mariners hitters off balance. He even climbed the ladder with a couple of K's on high fastballs.
Buster looked good behind the plate and a bit rusty at the plate. He did a nice job blocking a strikeout pitch in the dirt and then popped out in front of the plate nicely to throw out the runner. On his first AB, he hit a ball to deep short. I thought he had a hint of a limp coming out of the bozo, but looked OK once he got going. He's not fast though.
Nice strikeout/throwout DP by Wilson and Posey to end the 4'th inning!
The lady sitting behind us has a our voice and talks incessantly. She said Burriss' chopper for a base hit wasn't really a hit , it was luck. She is making me sad.

Don't be sad, you're going to get a look at Joseph or Susac next!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to see a player with Buriss's speed hitting more choppers/groundballs to the left side of the infield, because he would get more base hits.. I hope Surkamp will be ready to contribute in 2012 if the Giants need him to.. Hope you are having a blast at the game Drb!
