Giants blew a huge opportunity to get to Webb early. Giants had the bases loaded with one out and Bowker struck out and Castillo grounded out. Rookie or not you have got to hit that ball in the air and get a run home!! Giants did score one on a sac fly from Winn. Zito's velocity is up as he is hitting 86 regularly in the first. Haven't seen that all year and he actually escaped the first unscathed.

Giants are up 3-0 on good fundamental baseball. Bocock lead off the second with a single, Zito bunts him over and Lewis singles him in. Lewis went to second on a bad throw from the OF and Winn has just singles him in. 6 hits in two innings off the best pitcher in the league. Zito is finally getting run support. We have finally found our leadoff man in Lewis who is 2-2 and Winn has 2 RBI tonight!

3-2 now as Zito got wild and gave up some hits. Giants will have to keep pressure on Webb.

Giants ****ing blow it again!!! Runners on second and third and NO OUTS and fail to score!!! Bocock tried a ****ing bunt!! Simply pathetic!

Giants are being very pesky against Webb tonight though.

Should have a much bigger lead for Zito though. And now Webb just doubled in 2 runs to make it 4-3! Webb has driven in run two games in a row against Zito. Horrible!!! And with two outs!!

5-3 now in the 4th. Zito had a great first inning getting ahead and throwing strikes. Ever since he has been all over the place and he couldn't hold a lead. Giving up a two run double to the opposing pitcher is awful! This is the reason why you don't make Zito the Opening Day starter Bochy, you ****ing idiot! Zito cannot go up against the other team's ace and expect to outpitch him! Giants bats better get going again because last inning it looked like Webb was settling down! Seven team LOB in four innings hurts the most!!

That is very frustrating.

It seems like opposing pitchers are always hitting against the Brewers pitchers as well. And they are important hits too.

Zito lasted only 3 2/3 innings

brewersfan19 · **Re: Giants@Arizona 4/21-4/22 -** 04-23-2008, 12:11 AM

yep. he is not off to a good start this year.

Bochy has got to stop hitting Molina cleanup especially with Rowand hitting behind him. Rowand hits a lot of doubles and I am tired of seeing Molina have to stop at third because he is so slow!!

brewersfan19 · **Re: Giants@Arizona 4/21-4/22 -** 04-23-2008, 12:37 AM

How about flip-flopping the two?

love_that_reefer · **Re: Giants@Arizona 4/21-4/22 -** 04-23-2008, 12:42 AM

That's what I want. And of course right when I say that Molina hits a double

Molina is great with RISP and think the #5 hole is best for him. He excelled last season in the #5 hole. And now Rowand has three K's
