Ok, who is watching the playoff game and who is watching STanford-ASU?

Giants up 2-0 early.

Watched every pitch of the Giants game and not a single play of the ASU-Stanford football game.
For the first time in my life, I'm more emotionally attached to a pro sports team than I am to Stanford football.
I gotta be honest:  Shaw's style has been a big contributor to the detachment.
On the bright side, lopsided games (at least from score and box) don't impose the slightest burn . . . which is a welcome change.

Watched Giants, then second half…..

OK Lex, I’ll bet you a box of IT’s It that Kershaw signs somewhere else.

It wasn’t me that suggested that he will stay.  I think he may retire.

Tommy Edman  came up big.  Had a terrific game. Offensively and defensively.   Rest of the offense was AWOL. Knew game was going to come down to HR. 

Giants are going to have to find ways to score beyond the long ball.  Tough task. They have to get down to 26.  My guess is Dickerson won’t be on roster.  Not as sure about pitching staff.  Figure 13. 4 starters plus Doval, Rogers, Leone. Alvarez, Littell Garcia, McKee (if healthy) Castro and Cueto.

Position Locks (12): Posey, Casali, Bryant, Crawford, La Stella, Solano, Flores, Longoria, Ruf, Yastrzemski, Wade, Slater
Bubble (1 or 2): Duggar, Dickerson, Estrada, Vosler, Dubon, Bart.  I think they keep one, and I think it's Duggar.

SP Locks (4):  Webb, Gausman, Wood, DeSclefani
RP Locks (6): McGee, Doval, Rogers, Leone, Garcia, Alvarez
Bubble (7): Cueto, Littell, Castro, Jackson, Long, Baragar, Brebbia.  I think it's Cueto, Littell and Castro.

Almost nailed it 100% (Cueto out; Dickerson in) . . . right?

I haven’t seen the press. Did they give a reason for Cueto?

No reason that I saw.  But the decision to only keep 12 pitchers essentially made the decision easy.  Castro has been very good down the stretch.  And no one else was truly on the bubble.
