Saturday March 10 vs. the Brewers/SS

It was another shiny day at Scottsdale Stadium but it was the young 20 year-old catcher from Scottsdale who shined brightest as the Giants/SS torn apart the Brewers/SS, 13-3.
Tommy Joseph, Scottsdale area native, said after the game, "you kind of don't feel anything...it's great," about hitting his two monster home runs Saturday.
Joseph, who also went yard in the third inning with a man on, begin what ended up being an eight run inning for the Giants.
Pablo Sandoval also joined the home-run parade in the third inning, when he hit a mammoth home run to deep right field.  Barry Zito pitched well for the Giants, throwing 45 pitch's, 30 of which were strikes.

 

 
 

 

 

Friday March 9 vs. Reds

It was a beautiful way to end the weekend, spending the day at Scottsdale Stadium watching the Giants.  It was even a better day to be a baseball fan because some elite talent was showcased out on the field from both the Giants and Reds.
Buster Posey made his return to the squat after a devastating injury sidelined him early last May that dearly hurt the Giants offense the rest of the season. Posey went 0-1 at the plate but just seeing him again is enough joy for me.
Freddy Sanchez also debut for the first time this season, hitting in the DH spot.
The Reds top talent and young phenom, Aroldis Chapman, took to the hill and was nothing but spectacular as he  put away all six batters he faced.
Chapman hit 100 mph on the radar gun while facing Pablo Sandoval and averaged about 96 mph for the day.
