I have a dentist appointment at 1PM, so I will probably miss a big part of the game.

Ask him to fill you in.

Expecting a yuge game from Inciarte.

Expecting a yuge game from Inciarte.

I'm guessing the modern Murderers' Row of Francouer, Garcia, and Flowers carries the day.

Mallex getting a start vs. Bumgarner rather than Markakis is a good sign in my book.

I'm listening to radio today and I enjoy our announcers infinitely more

[Garmel]

Freeman's ground rule double was bad luck that ended up costing us a run.

[Ozzie Swanson]

d'Arnaud keeps on hitting. I wonder if we'll see him at SS some while Beckham is on the DL.

Is Blair's velocity down this year? Or has he always been a 89-91 type guy??

Not sure. But the gun on mlb.com has bumgardner at 88-92. I think Blair was advertised in the 90-92 range with sink.

I am sure his exit velocity is pretty good today.

[UNCBlue012]

This was a horrible horrible game. But, Bum is so good.

There are actually encouraging signs from Blair, despite what the numbers say.

He, like most young players needs to be more consistent, and I agree that little more time in the minors would likely help, but he has periods of dominance.

I believe he was called up prematurely the second time because of an immediate need not because he was ready to come back up. I believe Gant and Jenkins would have been on short rest, so he was needed. I suspect we will see him back down for a while.
