But Valdez is a career .300 batter off Zito. Of course, he hasn't faced him since 2007. But that is the "excuse" from Fay and the like.

That said, I had no problem with Sam throwing at Posey. I'm glad he didn't actually hit him, especially in the knee. I'm not sure if Sam was try to hit him or just send the Giants a warning. I'm leaning towards the latter.
You are literally the only one that feels that way.

Not that I'm the only one that feels that way. That Votto was not hit intentionally.

I don't think he hit him intentionally. I was saying that I didn't care either way. I was just glad Lecure had his back.

Cozart getting a day off, lmao. I guess Sunday evening and Monday wasn't enough for the kid.

Dusty is a fucking moron. You just threw a lineup out there last night that scored 9 runs and had 11 hits. Why change it?

Zito gives up a lead-of hit and is able to hold him on first until he can get the utility player to hit into a DP, then pitches around the 3 and 4 hitters to get to the one he can get out, Bruce.

Yeah the stream I found is a few minutes behind, so I just saw that. It definitely hit the ground.

Arroyo did his job and beat Burriss to the bag on the bunt, but joey doesn't throw it to him and BP confuses the issue by trying to cover.

Damn, wanted 2 out lightning there

For only 2-0 and rain, this has been a pretty good game so far

Welcome to the dance JJ Hoover.

Kid is clearly nervous as fuck. Let's hope he settles down here and gets some outs.

Votto made a hell of a play on Zito's SAC attempt to turn two there.

The middle of the order wastes a lead-off hit! Where has Bruce's pre-season point of emphasis gone? He said he couldn't let his emotions get the best of him and discipline himself to go the other way. He did fine for the first bit and looked away and then got to turn on a couple and hit them out, then his emotions got him and he hasn't tried hardly at all to hit the other way since!
