Open Gameday Thread II: Electric Boogaloo

...to 7th. That’s a pretty small advantage, though it might make the difference between being able to use Hennessey for 2 innings vs bringing in another reliever.

Eckstein is annoying because of all of the fluffy positive press attention that he gets. Plus, he sucks a whole lot more. Byrnes at least has some good baseball abilities, despite the bathtub crank. I’m probably splitting hairs.

Is there really any point in keeping him and Aurilia around? Even if they start hitting (which they won’t), it’s not like the Giants will actually trade them or get anything in return for them.

FunFact

I’m only following the game in passing, since I’m busy-ish with work, but I was flabbergasted enough with the Durham-Velez switch that I was wondering how helpful moving the pitcher back two spots in the lineup would be, really. The results….not very.

Ray Durham’s average this year: .200.
Brad Hennessey’s career average: .225.

Thanks for the great strategy, Bochy!
