October 6, 20169 yr http://m.mlb.com/news/article/205084376/gi...wild-card-game/ Who would have thought the Chicago White Sox 2015 starting 3rd baseman would be the one to hit a game winning 3 run bomb to get his team into the playoffs? Flashbacks of 2005 Geoff Blum...
October 6, 20169 yr Time for Gillaspie and Samardzija to step up. They owe White Sox fans that much, especially Jeffy.
October 6, 20169 yr He looked very uncomfortable during post-game interview. Probably a bunch of awkward post-game hugs from teammates as well lol

Probably a bunch of awkward post-game hugs from teammates as well lol Yeah I remember Gillaspie being very quiet, and he always looked depressed. That homerun celebration was the only emotion I've ever seen him show.

October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (Scoots @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 07:42 AM) Was Beckham traded from Atlanta to San Francisco? On September 27. He failed to reach base in 6 PAs for the Giants, but they are 6-1 since trading for him!
October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (Scoots @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 07:42 AM) Was Beckham traded from Atlanta to San Francisco? Like 3 days before the season ended, don't believe he is eligible for the playoffs
October 6, 20169 yr Conor had a great interview with Peter Gammons after the game. I also saw an interview with Posey who had this to say about Conor. He doesn't necessarily do it on purpose but Conor always makes us smile.
October 6, 20169 yr Didn't the Giants trade him to us originally because he was like, a total jerk in the clubhouse? And then he gets here and he never talks or smiles
October 6, 20169 yr Just because - here is the article I wrote for FutureSox about acquiring Conor Gillaspie for Jeff Soptic, in February of 2013. Soptic, by the way, is still in the SFG system, having pitched his 4th year in High-A. Fun story. I wrote that sitting in a cafe in Datil, New Mexico, at a table under a massive trophy elk head. Stopped on a road trip to write it up.
October 6, 20169 yr Lots of ex Sox everywhere you look. Grilli for the Blue Jays. He predates the 2005 team, even. Addison Reed and DeAza on the Mets. Then the Giants. Not to mention all the post season games Uribe won for SFG.
October 6, 20169 yr Very happy for Gillaspie- glad to see him do well. Hope he sprays 4 or 5 more at the bleacher bums or people walking on Waveland over the next few days.

And then he gets here and he never talks or smiles No place for him to play with Sandoval. Shady defense and seemed more of a doubles hitter...not quite enough power for 3rd. He was a fairly high draft pick if memory serves correct (2008, same year as Posey). http://www.sfgate.com/giants/article/Giant...eto-9802225.php Ron Wotus is the coach who really lobbied to keep him on the roster all season long.

October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 10:55 AM) There is nothing that could happen in this postseason that would make me happier than this. Not even Jeff Samardzija shutting out the Cubs in the next week in a game that eliminates them from the playoffs?
October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Not even Jeff Samardzija shutting out the Cubs in the next week in a game that eliminates them from the playoffs? I mean first and foremost I just want the Cubs to lose. But I still have some fondness for Conor - unlike Samardzija - so I'd rather see him be the one killing them the most.
October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 07:52 AM) Like 3 days before the season ended, don't believe he is eligible for the playoffs he is eligible for a world series ring however
October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) It is inevitable that Samardzija gets lit up against the Cubs. One would think so. He faced them at Wrigley on Sept.1 and made it through 4 innings. 4 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 87 pitches
October 6, 20169 yr Has Bochy announced Shark as game 2 starter? I don't see that anywhere. I said it yesterday that it makes much more sense to start Moore with Shark available out of the pen for long relief. Hopefully Bochy agrees with this line of thinking.
October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) I'd rather have Moore start Game 2 and have Guppy ready in the bullpen. I'd rather have Samardzija pitching at home than Wrigley.
October 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) I'd rather have Samardzija pitching at home than Wrigley. Yeah it's hard to give up bombs at AT&T park.
October 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) No place for him to play with Sandoval. Shady defense and seemed more of a doubles hitter...not quite enough power for 3rd. He was a fairly high draft pick if memory serves correct (2008, same year as Posey). He was only supposed to back up Keppinger and pinch hit here. He was a sandwich pick (37th overall) in `08. Gordon Beckham and Brett Lawrie were also first rounders that year.
