[The Tariff King]

CJ at #5 makes me sad. More than BJ in the lineup.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

David Wright is back in the lineup and batting third.

Also an apology is in order to Mr.Burnitz, it is Jeromy.

 

[Garmel]

CJ at #5 makes me sad. More than BJ in the lineup.

He's very good against left handed pitchers so I don't mind. However, against right handers he needs to ride the pine.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Giants won again. Need to keep pace with a win tonight.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Niese VS Jason right away.

CJ at #5 makes me sad. More than BJ in the lineup.

With BJ out of the line up Fredi is just making sure he has his rally killer every opportunity. What is is 20+ double plays this year?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Great at bat by Freddie.

 

[Ampere]

Good start for Minor.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Terrific opening inning from Minor.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

At least we are clearing Laird.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Mike Minor can hit! love it!

 

[cajunrevenge]

If Minor is back to 2013 form I like our chances to get that second Wild card. Get in and who knows what could happen.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Minor is pitching with confidence again. Finally. Really need him to keep this up if we're gonna have a shot at the playoffs.

 

[Garmel]

I know it's still early but it looks like another crappy performance by our offense.

This is why you can't trade Minor as part of a BJ deal. I'd rather eat the BJ contract and get Minors value back in a trade.

If he is ever able to stay sharp between the ears and not go into these long spells of getting bombed like he did this season, he's going to be a special pitcher. Not untouchable though by any means.

 

[sturg33]

Niners assures me that Minor is terrible based on his rookie year, so this is all a mirage folks

 

[Heyward]

We always struggle vs Niese, not that surprising.

Not untouchable, but i wouldnt trade him in a BJ trade just to get out of his deal.

Minor isnt perfect but i wouldnt dump him, coming off a horrible year.
