Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread). 8-3 Matt Cain, RHP (12-2, 2.12) vs. Mike Hampton, LHP (6-8, 5.36) 7:05 on FSN 8-4 Jonathan Sanchez, LHP (4-9, 4.81) vs. TBA 7:05 on FSN 8-5 TBA vs. Brian Moehler, RHP (7-6, 4.99) 1:05 on FSN
You can say that again. He starts one night for us, gets traded to the Giants, and then starts for them. Dude is a hoss.
Tremendous pitching mismatch tonight. Maybe lightning strikes twice with Hampton against all-star pitching.
Dream Scenrio tonight...Hampton, love the guy, but hope he gets smoked early but the team gets away with a few runs here or there vs Cain and keep it close late say 6-3...make a great comback and steal this one at the end!
Tonight is a deadly combination. Hampton on the mound and Cain on as well. I could see this Giants 7 Astros 1 Matt Cain with a complete game.
enough, coop. hampton is completely DONE. take him out of the game and fcking cut him like you did ortiz.
Hampton looks like he knows this maybe dor or die!...I wonder if Bazardo wasn't out of options would Hampton already be gone?
I know Matsui is sorta hot but darn how many chances do you give the guy? Keppinger just had a 4 hit game on the trip and has played on and off...Matsui just doesn't do the little things to win even though thats his game supposly?
he definitely has to get michael over to 3rd with 1 out. after michael steals 2nd, all matsui should be thinking is ground ball to the right side, ground ball to the right side, ground ball to the right side. pop up to 3rd is the exact opposite of a ground ball to the right side.
Honestly I would have bunted him to third especially vs a stud like Cain. So kinda blame Matsui and Coop but at the same time he probably has confidence Kaz gets him to 3rd...depressing
Everytime I said this it hurts but darn this is really hard to watch! ITS TIME TO GO!!! Giants are not a good offensive team but they are getting really good contact and if its not for Pence along with a couple of generous strike 3 calls this might be ugly already!
