Walking him had crossed my mind, but I was really laboring that inning. She is seven months old, a terror, and also a sweetheart.

NOTES: Facing reigning World Series Most Valuable Player Madison Bumgarner on Thursday added to the Cubs’ award-winning week.
Byrd’s second home run for the Giants, a line drive that just cleared the center field fence, was his fourth in 35 at-bats against Haren.
“I think what’s good is that we understand player development doesn’t stop in the minor leagues”, Sabean said.
Kyle Schwarber began the game with a unique, 20-foot double on an infield popup. They’ve only made the postseason in back-to-back seasons just once since moving to San Francisco, you know, and while Duffy was crumpled on first base, I was resigned to the Giants fate. Schwarber has proved to be a better base runner than I anticipated, and never gave up on the play.
The double play was the first of five turned by the Reds in the game. Trainers attended to Duffy and the Cubs showed little mercy when they tried another pickoff play. Suddenly, all was right in the Giants’ world. “Things are just going our way right now”.
“Everybody’s got their own opinion”, Duffy said. Byrd came into the game with a. 424 average (14 for 33) against the veteran right-hander with three home runs. The ball was hit fairly sharply, and Addison Russell did not choose to attack the ball aggressively. The whole team was a Spinal Tap drummer, not just their second baseman. He shut out Oakland over 5 2-3 innings in his most recent outing.
The game would be decided by the team that was able to take advantage of mistakes. He’s now ahead of Von Joshua, Shawon Dunston, Nate Schierholtz, and Michael Tucker on the all-time Giants leadoff home run list. He missed it, and the ball rolled past him.
“(That’s) what you got to get good at in this game – the mental part.
Buster Posey was central to the victory. With one out, Denorfia singled to right field.
The Giants liked the 6-foot-5 left-hander enough to draft him 10th overall in 2007, the sixth pitcher taken – after the likes of Daniel Moskos, Casey Weathers and Jarrod Parker. “You’re running there. But that was a tough one”.
Zac Rosscup recorded the last two outs in the seventh, but not before some excitement. Bumgarner is 5-2 with a 2.54 ERA in nine career starts against the Cubs and has experienced difficulties against middle infielder Starlin Castro (10-for-24).WALK-OFFS1. He won his fifth straight start and matched the Cubs’ Jake Arrieta for most victories in the majors.

By the time rookie Kelby Tomlinson drilled a grand slam for the 9-1 final, Bumgarner was in the clubhouse, icing his arm. Peavy should have been a wild card, a pitcher who should have been a toss up every time he took the mound. Bochy gave his standard, We ll talk about it answer when asked. You can not. He pitched one of the cleanest innings of the season. It seems to be working, though… “But who knows. It could be sooner”.
Panik was installed as the everyday second baseman in June past year after Marco Scutaro was hurt and Dan Uggla flopped.
Tomlinson, Posey and Perez had two hits apiece for the Giants, who outhit the Cubs 10-3. Tomlinson hit a double down the proper subject that scored Posey. He did that for his team tonight. Hendricks could have saved himself a lot of trouble by being sharper out of the gate, and the Cubs misplayed some balls. “It’s not usually going to work that way, but I’m glad it did today”.
With their first win in six meetings this month against the Cubs, San Francisco avoided its first six-game skid in the series since 1993-94.
I expect to see hitting here so my free pick in this one is over the total that is set at seven. Which he was. They probably didn’t have too many Javier Lopezes at Penn State. Let’s beat MadBum. A staph infection can be rough (I had one in my big toe a few years ago), but good to see that it’s responding well to treatment.

But let’s take a step back here.
