Bats Need To Heat Up – Posey, Sandoval
The San Francisco Giants were able to avoid the sweep and salvage the final game of the 3 game series with the Colorado Rockies. Although the Giants were almost swept by the Rockies. They are 5-2 in their last 7 games. I’m trying to look at the positives and group it as a 7 game stretch, and not saying they lost 2 out of the last 3. Just trying to get that positive vibe going. With our offense on life-support. We can use all the good vibes as possible.
The Giants still need to figure out ways to score more runs. They are 24-6 when scoring 4+ runs. Which means if they can scratch out a few more runs a game. They can have a pretty decent record, and continue to make this NL West race a tight one. We do need more offense, and I’m sure glad Buster Posey is living up to the hype! With that said, they still can’t count on him to be on fire the whole time. Eventually he will cool off and hit a dry spell. Other players on this team need to step up. Maybe Pablo Sandoval will get hot and carry the team on his back for a while.
Last night’s win over the Rockies was the Giants 12th comeback win of the season. It’s nice to see them have some comeback wins. Last year when they got behind. You could chalk it up as a loss, and just start to focus on the next game. Which shows that they do have a better hitting team than last year. Just not good enough unfortunately. Only time will tell if Brian Sabean will pull the trigger at the trading deadline. To get more offensive help in San Francisco.

I say pull the trigger at the trade deadline and go win the west or if Sabean stands pat give him his walking papers.
Pablo has been hot since May 28th, .360/.370/.600/.970. We have been 4-2 since then. Hopefully he can continue it.
The good signs is that he has been progressively getting better the month of May, and finally recovering right at the end of the month, like he had a bad cold/flu at the start of the month and has been recovering since then.
