Giants 4, Braves 2: One hundred games gone, 62 to go. The Giants are on track for a 70–92 season.
You know what was cool about today’s game? Not just Lincecum pitching well, but also Bochy letting Jack Taschner pitch the 8th in a pressure situation just a week or so after The Special Agent was on the cusp of a demotion for stinking up the joint. Boch gets cool points in my book. If Taschner goes on to have a couple good years, I’ll give Bochy much credit.
You know what else was cool? Giants pitchers: 10 K, 2 BB.
PLODAG: Dave Roberts, three more hits. He’s raised his averages from .203/.276/.246 on July 1 to .258/.322/.352. It stands to reason that the elbow problem that required surgery was bothering him more than he let on, and now he’s finally healthy. If he can get his OBP into the .360 range by the end of the year, he’s made himself useful. Nice to see what happens when a real leadoff guy does his job well.
