Game Wrap 4/7/2012: D'Backs 5 Giants 4

Same song second verse, could get better, hopefully not worse. Madison Bumgarner got hit early and the Giants offense was not quite able to catch up. Sound familiar? Key Lines:

Pablo Sandoval- 2 for 3, HR(1), BB. BA= .500. Pablo is starting off hot. That's a very good thing for the Giants and for my Savvy Vets fantasy baseball team.

Brett Pill- 1 for 1, HR(1). BA- 1.000. Pill provides punch off the bench. All the more reason to think it might not have been a terrible idea to pinch-hit him for Huffy yesterday.

Madison Bumgarner- 4.0 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 9.00. When Bumgarner loses his great command, he can get hit very hard. Fortunately, he's shown an ability to recover from these.

Dan Otero- 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 4.50. Otero makes his MLB debut. He was better than Bumgarner today, but that's not saying much.

Matt Cain tries to salvage game 3 of the series tomorrow afternoon against Tomahawk Boy. A 2-1 series loss on the road is not the end of the world. I suppose a series sweep this early isn't either, but you really don't want to find yourself 3 games behind 3 games into the season. It can take a half season to come beck from that, if at all.

The Dodgers held off the Pesky Padres in San Diego 6-5 in extra innings to go 3-0 with a 0.5 game lead over the D'Backs. The Giants, at 0-2 are 2.5 games off the pace while the Pathetic Padres are 0-3 and 3 full games behind the Dodgers. The Rockies were shut down by minor league journeyman Lucas Harrell and lost to the 'Stros 7-3 to even their record at 1-1, 1.5 games behind the Dodgers.
