Maybe his defense will return to par also if he isn't worried about flailing at the plate.<br />However bright Arroyo's future, he's not ready for the 2 slot. If Núñez is in the lineup, he's a better choice (at this time).<br />Belt seems to have quit looking for the walk, just 1 in his last 30 PAs. He's brought his BA up (and power) but he's not getting on base as often. Lester has been tough this year on LHB, much more than overall in his career.<br />A faster runner than Crawford might have scored on Núñez's hit. My thoughts with Hernandez and Cueto following, Brandon might as well have been out at the plate than languish at 3rd. He didn't get a jump, watching to see if the ball was going to fall, and when it did could only get to 3rd. He would have been criticized if he had been doubled off 2nd, but situationally, with the lineup as it is, he should have run all the way.<br />2-4 RISP looks better than it was since one was the Núñez hit, all 4 ABs were in the 5th when the Giants might have rattled Lester. Sure would have liked to see Arroyo up rather than Hernandez.<br />Still, can't give up 3 HRs and expect to win unless Giants get 3 (solos) of their own.<br />My crusade for Slater and Heathcott continues: what is there to lose?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
