M Cain P

I vote we move Winn to 3B
He played there during that crazy game against the Dbacks so lets do it again. That would allow us to move Bowker to RF where he belongs, get TI into the lineup at 1B and get Castillo out of the lineup entirely… I do not see a problem with this idea at all
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!

what's the rush?
i mean, it’s one thing if he’s completely recovered. then it would make sense for him to get a few ABs. but there is absolutely no reason to rush him in this season.

I have a cousin who’s a Braves fan and is the only non-Giants fan in the family (those who live in California, anyway). I think it’s because he grew up watching TBS all the time. I bet he’s at this game.
