Papa Grande looked awesome!!! He just closed it by sitting 3 straight batters down. We came out hot but barely hung on to that win....
I am sooooooo sick of Shawn Green and his boringness. The guy jogs around right field and looks extremely lazy when trying to make plays. Did any of you notice when that line drive was hit to Green and Lofton advanced to 3rd from 1st???? Lofton would have most likely made it anyways but when watching the replay you can see Green come up to the ball and slowly field it as if he thought Lofton was gonna pull up at 2nd. Green looked up and noticed that Lofton was going to third but had no momentum and double-hopped the throw to third. Did he forget that Lofton is one of the best/fastest baserunners in the game, even at 40 years old?????? Then Green backs it up at the plate with an 0-3 performance that included 2 KO's.
IMO, he has no place on our roster especially when he's taking up Quentins spot in RF. I would not be upset at all if we just waived him, Matt Williams style, and ate his contract. He's completely useless and is hindering Q's development. At least he has a great attitude...... What a chop
