Are the Giants afraid of Posey catching Josh Bard syndrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yeah and needless to say Mirabelli was back in Boston pretty quickI just think it's a shame to penalize Dickey for being a knuckleballer. Has clearly been the best pitcher in the NL this season and deserves to start the ASG. That's a pretty big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 I imagine hes been working with another C and we'll probably come in along with that change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 American League starter Justin Verlander is expected to work the first two innings, according to pitching coach Mike Maddux. After that, manager Ron Washington and Maddux are planning to use these seven pitchers for one inning each (in order): The Rays' David Price, the Rangers' Matt Harrison, the Angels' Jered Weaver, the White Sox's Chris Sale, the Athletics' Ryan Cook, the Orioles' Jim Johnson and the Rays' Fernando Rodney.On the other side, following Matt Cain, the tentative rotation mapped out by NL manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan is the Nationals' Gio Gonzalez, the Nationals' Stephen Strasburg, the Phillies Cole Hamels, the Mets' R.A. Dickey, the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw, the Cardinals' Lance Lynn and then, in the ninth, probably a combo of the Reds' Aroldis Chapman and the Braves' Craig Kimbrel.

Unknøwn Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 The plan all along was for Kimbrel and Chapman to share an inning but it was going to be the bottom of the 9th before they blew em out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
