[antdogg2390]

if penny pitches great this month, our pitching rotation is even more deep as fuck
#1 timmy
#2 zito
#3 cain
#4 sanchez
#5 penny

now scary ass lineup going into this month, n hopefully october

 

[VanD]

18 team shutouts

 

[prodigy91]

obviously penny isnt a strikeout pitcher, so the defense better stay on their toes

 

[antdogg2390]

he wasnt even trying to go for the strikeouts, he pitched well to get the outs.
Just a lil over 100 pitches in 8 innings, pretty good

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

all of our pitchers have pitched great this last time around the rotation, with the exception of cain, he's been giving up the long ball.

Its just sad our pitchers cant get run support to where theyre comfortable enough and not worried about giving up hits or a run.

 

[prodigy91]

cain has given up the long ball when he does have the lead

 

[drunkaholic707]

great win and penny to come in and get the win right away

 

[antdogg2390]

yea cain haasnt been himself lately. his last recorded win was jul. 24

Giants call up top prospect Buster Posey

by Frank Franklin II - AP

September 2, 2009

With Bengie Molina slowly recovering from an upper quad strain, the Giants have called up top prospect Buster Posey from Triple-A Fresno. Posey is hitting an impressive .321 for Fresno, with a .391 on-base percentage and 5 home runs.

"Buster's the best catcher in our system," Bochy said. "We needed some help. We felt at this time this would give us more coverage, a little more depth."

The Giants are one game behind the Rockies in the Wild Card, and hope Posey can catch on with the teams pitching staff as well as find his swing at the plate. If he has a strong September, the Giants would be faced with the decision to let Bengie Molina walk as a free agent.

Asked if he believed that club management was sending him a "message," Molina replied, "You know what? Probably. This is baseball, and as they can tell you, it's a business. This might mean that I might not be coming back next year. Who knows? I'm ready for everything, man. I've been in the league so long. I know how baseball goes.

Molina is hitting just .256 since the All-Star break.
