Ryan Vogelsong pitched a QS in his 2012 debut, but the old RISP bug started biting the Giants hitters again. Key Lines:
Angel Pagan- 1 for 4, 3B(2), BB. BA= .171. Triples Alley looks like it was tailor made for Angel Pagan. He might hit 15 or so this year!
Brandon Belt- 1 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(1). BA= .143. Nice little game for Belt, although the ump blew it calling him safe at 2B on the double.
Emmanuel Burriss- 1 for 3, BB. One of his outs was a great AB where he grounded out to SS, but drove in Belt from 3B with the only run. I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Freddy is going to be at 2B.
Ryan Vogelsong- 6.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 2.84. Vogey looked a bit shaky in the 2'nd inning, but recovered nicely to retire 11 batters in a row at one point. He looks ready to pick up where he left off last year.
The Giants record fell to 4-5 as their 3 game winning streak was snapped. They now trail the NL West leading Dodgers who are 9-1 by 4.5 games. The Dodgers squeaked by the San Diego Padres 5-4. The Padres are the NL West cellar dwellers at 2-8, 7 games off the pace. The Arizona D'Backs topped the Colorado Rockies 5-2 to improve to 6-3,2.5 games behind the Dodgers while Colorado is tied with the Giants at 4-5. The Dodgers have played 7 of their 10 games against the Pathetic Padres, which may explain part of their fast start.
Tim LIncecum takes on Roy Halladay tomorrow evening at AT&T. Both pitchers have had velocity issues this spring, but Halladay is 2-0 while Timmy is 0-1.

Hey, I'm a big Giant's fan and a big fan of one of last years draftees, Tyler Mizenko. You seem to know a lot. I was wondering if you know where he is at. I've looked at all the minors teams rosters and nothing. I don't think he's gone cuz he changed his twitter bio a couple days ago and it still says Giants rhp. Do you know anything about him? Thanks for the help
ReplyDeleteNo info. My guess is he is in extended spring training in Arizona and will surface in Salem-Keizer when short season ball opens after the next draft in June.
DeleteSandoval's conditioning woes might not effect him at the plate much, but in the field? These early errors are now starting to be a concern with him.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that Sandoval is ready to take over the first base in 2013 ?
DeleteBelt has to show he belongs to the big league very soon in that case.

Yeah he does always tweet about being in Scottsdale. And some one tweeted saying can't wait till your in Augusta so he's probably going to the Greenjackets
ReplyDeleteTimmy needs to step up and throw the slider.
ReplyDeleteVogelsong looked good but was not hitting his spots at times and was being squeezed by the ump.
