Finally it comes

The Giants finally got in the win column last night, beating the Padres 5-3, the opposite of the night before.

You knew it was going to be a good night when Jon Miller opened the broadcast with, "Pedro Feliz gets a night off." Instead, Klesko got first and Aurilia slid over to third.

This is the lineup the Giants need to be using. Though eight hits (and only one XBH) is not what you'd like I still think this is a better option for the rest of the season.

Today I was reading through the MLB.com notes column, now presided over by Chris Haft. I've been hoping for good things from Haft after the Rich Draper Incident, but I'm curious why he added this graph to his piece:

Bochy moved first baseman Rich Aurilia to third base and inserted the left-handed-batting Klesko at first against San Diego right-hander Clay Hensley. Aurilia, 4-for-6 off Hensley entering the game, was a better choice to keep in the lineup instead of third baseman Pedro Feliz, who took his 1-for-7 career effort against Hensley to the bench.

I think that some pitchers can defintely have a batter's number, but six and seven at bats a piece do not tell you that. The reason Feliz was probably out of the lineup is that Hensley is a sinker-ball pitcher, and I hear Feliz doesn't handle those too well.

Now, not a Murray Chass sort of statement, I'll be following his work a little more closely to try and spot some tendencies. Not that I wont read someone if I don't agree with how they look at the game, but it's nice to know what sort of slant I'll be getting.

Either way, I hope him the best. At least for another two years or so, when better job will open up somewhere for him, so I can move in and take his current assignment.
