Because I think I saw a freaking dog pile after a 2-1 win against an Astros team that's 47 games under .500. Come on boys, act like we've done this before. Now, good win, no doubt. Surkamp was impressive enough. One can't really tell because he came from AA and faced a AA club in the Astros. If he stays in this rotation spot, he gets the Diamondbacks September 1st. We'll know a lot more after that start but the first returns were encouraging. Keppy comes up huge....again. He takes solid AB's, has a solid approach and makes good decisions. See, no Cabre-jada in the starting lineup, the Giants win. Coincidence? I think not....
So here's what I really liked about the game. Fontenot leads off with a double. Now normally, I'd bunt there (and there's a 2,375% chance that Bochy doesn't call a bunt there). But Keppinger is good enough with the bat that you give him a shot to ground out to 2B and maybe he gets a hit out of it. He grounded out to first then Beltran did the same and the Giants had a manufactured run. Now tell me this....if Surkamp doesn't have that run, does he pitch the same. No way. See what I mean? Literally, 1 run makes such a difference on this team. Another 4 innings of scoreless relief...ho hum.
Question....do you think Pat Burrell hits fungos at Nate and Belt in the shower? I picture Burrell wearing just a towel and shower shoes, cigarette pressed between his lips, just wailing away while Nate and Belt dodge his line drives. And Huff is just egging Pat on, laughing at them while pounding Coors Original cans. Then when he's done, Pat sends Belt to go get him more cigarettes and beer. Can anyone else picture this?
