[eentegra]

house money tonight. i dont know about do or die but definitely need to win. rest. and more rest is always good.

 

[CP1708]

Lineup tonight

Fowler CF
Bryant 3B
Rizzo 1B
Soler LF
Zobrist RF
Russell SS
Baez 2B
Montero C
Arrieta P


I'm really surprised he didn't go with Bryant in Left, and Almora in Right, with Baez at Third. He's tryin to get a little more offense and sacrificing defense a little. :\

If we get a lead tho, I expect to see Heyward/Almora out there pretty quick, and possibly even see Contreras at some point.

Jake Arrieta v. Giants in 2016:

5/20 at AT&T: 7.0 IP, 1 earned runs, 4 hits, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts
9/03 at Wrigley: 6.0 IP, 2 earned runs, 4 hits, 2 walks, 7 strikeouts

Although he lost the second game against the Giants at Wrigley Field, it wasn’t all too much worse than his win earlier in the year. At the highest level, it seems that Arrieta has had some success against the Giants in 2016, and it’s come mostly against the same eight guys.

With the exception of Matt Duffy (who was traded for Matt Moore – the Giants’ presumptive game 4 starter – at the deadline), the Giants have sent the following position players out against Arrieta both times:

1B – Brandon Belt (0-5, BB)
2B – Joe Panik (2-5, BB)
3B – Eduardo Nunez (1-2)
SS – Brandon Crawford (1-5, BB)
LF – Angel Pagan (3-6, 2B, K)
RF – Hunter Pence (0-6, 2K)
CF – Denard Span (0-6, 2K)
C – Buster Posey (0-6, K)

 

[CP1708]

Jake.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Let's Go!!!!!!!!! 3-0 lead. Let's finish these dudes off

 

[CVO_RN95]
