Just a few things worth noting from last night’s game (which I did see, but then went to bed after given the incredibly late, rain-delayed start). Buster Posey’s error at first base cost the Giants four runs, but he also had a double and scored twice. The Giants, who are notoriously slow to bring up prospects and in a division race, don’t seem to have a problem with calling a prospect up and playing him out of position at first base to get some more offense. Just sayin’.
Zach Duke, meanwhile, continued along with his trend of getting a bunch of strikeouts (he’s averaging 7.1/9 innings in his last six starts, which is way, way above his career level of about five per nine) but also continued along his recent trend of getting the crap pounded out of him (.890 OPS against in those same six outings), allowing 10 hits and six runs in six innings, which was apparently an inning too long since four of those runs came in the sixth.
