again late in the game runner on, chance to add on, one out, hits into an easy double play. But if he were to lead off the inning, probably a hit. His low RBI totals have to be alarming, and he should not be batting clean up. Hard to believe but Arroyo already has more RBI than Posey. Posey is hitting around 350 but continues to try to do too much late in the game and ends up with nada. When he first came up. he was Mr. Clutch. Now giants again turn over the game to the bullpen with a lead, but with a lead the offense did not add on. Nice Job Cueto. Two runs that scored could have been removed with sharper defense. Morse's throw to second for the DP was off and the run scored, Than the 3rd run that scored was the run following Gonzalez's grounder that Nunez made a nice play on but then could not exchange the ball from his glove to his throwing hand. The run eventually scored. Turner squares up everything. A former utility guy. WTF.

You do his job and see how you feel after seasons behind the plate, a
badly broken ankle, multiple concussions and a back injury.

It was the only position that I absolutely refused to play. :)

That might be the reason he's not performing well. However, he is
still hitting, he's a very good guide for his pitchers and he can
still gun down a base runners.

Posey in RISP:

BA: .235
OBP: .409

Not a great BA but a great OBP. These numbers tell us that teams are
not giving him anything decent to hit in RISP situations; they'd rather
take their chances on the next hitter.

Posey with Men on base:

BA: .323
OBP: 417

Great stats. That means the guys batting behind him have a lot of RBI
chances but they're not coming through.

I know, these stats won't stop wayne from hating Posey because we all
know he's the most irrational person in this ng and he's obsessed with
Posey. :-)
