Arizona Diamondbacks @ San Francisco Giants


It's finally here. The game against an opponent with nine hitters better than the Giants' cleanup hitter.

If Bowker isn't in the lineup, meet behind the Willie Mays statue at 3:30. BYOP.

I likened searching for a legit OF prospect in the system to spendin a day with a WW book, then took it further to say Fred Lewis wasn’t hiding anywhere wearing a red and white striped sweater and ski cap but it was still easy to miss him.

But he totally should.
