Okay, 2nd and 3rd for the meat of the order, Gonzo and Peters.

They should do something about the flies around home plate Colson is trying to swat with his bat.

Giants release Ryan Borucki. The dream is still alive.

Thank you. I am.

And you sound trollish.

At this point in his career, Sandlin's "habit" is back to back, 4-run innings.

Do you know what "regression" means? It's not a putdown of Peters to say he's playing above his underlying metrics. I'd bet he's not going to be a 5-WAR, .800 OPS player going forward. Right now he looks like an average major leaguer (2 WAR) on a heater. That's good.

But it is in the top three.

Grab some Adolis!

Ant-man running, not sure how he doesn't score on a double to the corner.

We need a sad emoji. Very sad, too young.

He's been proving otherwise every time they face a lefty starter. I agree, he should always lead off against a RHP.

Let's win the series.

I thought it's imitating a bidet spraying up from underneath.

I'm no A.D., but it looks to me like they're 6-4 using an opener, counting today.

Crash Davis needs to give this kid some lessons on getting interviewed. "That it was cool. This place is cool, so it's a cool place to hit a homer. "

And Eisert has certainly become serviceable again.

Benintendi is a league average hitter. He's streaky. There is no lefty bat on the team to replace him right now. I believe that when Pereira comes back, Nishida goes back to AAA. However, I think the move that will matter is when Mune comes back around the ASG. It comes down to how Gonzo's taken to pro pitching, and how Benintendi's maintained this hot streak. I foresee Gonzo cranking, and Beni dithering, and then it's not such a weighty decision to either move on from Beni, or he's your lefty bench bat. Or Gonzo goes back down for 7 weeks, and he's the extra man on Sept 1.

Oh yeah. He stopped the momentum.
