Great game by Minor tonight, good to see him back on top of his game again. Great game by Gattis again, it's time we start giving him more credit IMO. He leads all MLB catchers in homers and had another big extra base hit tonight (a triple). He also should've walked twice (that strike three call his last AB was the same pitch that was a ball the pitch before). So he is showing some patience at the plate too.
BJ got cheated on some bad strike three calls again tonight. One of them was a really terrible call too. He's having a good series though and that's good to see.
That said, our third base coach made two bad calls but both worked out for us tonight. First he sends Heyward and Heyward should be out by a mile but somehow gets around the tag (great job by Heyward). Then he doesn't send a fast Pastornicky when he'd scored easy. But is bailed out when the Giants failed to turn the DP on Freeman. While both worked out in our favor that was still a poor job by our third base coach. You should know your base runners and he's been bad in that area. He sends slow runners like Freeman from first or CJ on close plays but stops Pastornicky? Maybe he was gun shy after the Heyward play but still not impressed by him so far.
