Nice to hear my son will be staying up for a while. This is probably the only time I’ve said “the guy is a gamer” without any sarcasm.
Also from the article
Fred Lewis and Nate Schierholtz are off because Texas is starting a lefty, Derek Holland. But Randy Winn, he of the .107 average from the right side, continues to start against left-handers. Bochy said when Winn gets a day off, he’d probably look to when a lefty is starting. But he doesn’t plan to bench Winn against lefties
WTF ?
My adopted son Matt Downs . Ranked as the 24th best prospect in the Giants farm system by Baseball America !!
Frandsen screwed again!
So Downs is the new darling based on 3 games? He may have a powerful bat, but wait until his D loses us multiple games. What does Frandsen have to do to get some extended play in SF?
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
well, or wait till there’s actually some scouting done on him and other teams start exploiting weaknesses.
This. I mean, the team is so desperate for offense that it doesn’t really matter where it comes from. If it’s Downs this week and Frandsen next week, that’s fine.

Winn is only hitting .107 vs lefties. I don’t think we will have to worry about his speed on the base pads this game.
From my comment in another thread
Nate Schierholtz: 7 hits against lefties this year
Randy Winn: 6 hits against lefties this year

Lewis has 8.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that pie > cake, that Bochy is endowed by his creator with certain undeniable traits, that among these are veteran man-love, a gigantic skull, and the pursuit of the double switch.
Adopted Giant: Fred Lewis, who can still draw a walk.
Okay?
I was mostly pointing out how bad Randy Winn has been this year against lefties, but if you want to throw it in there that Lewis has been awful too, then that’s cool.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
Chatterbalks dot com: Still with jokes. Now with updates.
Well, yeah, he has been awful against lefties, but slightly less so than Winn.
My point is that Lewis gets benched and Winn doesn’t, because Bochy.

The lines against lefties
Winn: .107 / .121 / .143
Lewis: .178 / .275 / .222
Schierholtz: .467 / .467 / .800
In 15 at bats, Schierholtz has more hits than Winn, more homers than either, and more extra base hits than Winn (the same number as Lewis).
Wheeee.

What does Renteria have to do to get less playing time?
He’s horrible on offense, he’s horrible on defense, according to a Chron story a couple days ago he has a mild injury of some kind (like a hamstring pull), and the Giants have a backup who can play shortstop better and hit better and has recovered from his injury.

Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.

Matt Cain winning apparently bothers the Giants brass too much. Apparently, lefties aren’t allowed to hit lifties, but “Veteran” lifer Randy Winn can.
