Interesting observation re: Crawford. You'd think the fact he's playing for his hometown team would keep him inspired, but maybe it's like "been there, done that" for him and he does need new scenery. Would love to deal Belt, Crawford, Panik, Bum, and Smith. Just don't see anyone wanting the Brandon contracts.
When I saw the pitching match-up for the game last night I thought "maybe Beede will show he's tried of getting sand kicked in his face. Maybe he will throw caution to the wind and make a stand for himself as a legit MLB starter. He can do this agains the biggest bully on the block." And he did! FWIW, McCovey Chron game story said Beede pitched better with Vogt than Posey. Also talked about how the Giants can't hit 95 MPH fastballs.
Beede has the best "stuff" of any Giants starter since Lincecum IMO. He's got all the ability. Just needs to harness it. The 5 BB in 6 innings is too much, but if you can walk that many and only allow 1 ER in 6 IP, that tells you he's got that stuff. Really rooting for Beede. He seems like such a down to Earth and team guy who has worked his butt off.
