It almost does not matter whom they play, or who the pitcher is, they come back from a road trip and look like a minor league team. Has to be a way to motivate these guys in these situations. This team seems to have interim, and frequent amotivational spells. Slater looked like he had an infield hit, and he comes up lame. Think this has happened to the giants several times this year. One of the most snake bitten teams that I can remember. Today on a poor hitting (for average) Padre team, their catcher, who is batting 220 now has 39 RBI, more than our catcher hitting 326 as I type.

Posey hitting 242 with runners in scoring position, going into his last AB tonight, assuming the giants do not come back.

Awesome Giants

And a .393 OBP. Teams are giving him bad pitches to hit in RISP and
don't mind walking him to face the next batter. He's getting the semi-
Bonds treatment.

Posey's batting .321/.397/.411 in "late & close" ABs.
