Full disclosure, I did not watch yesterday’s game. I followed along via Twitter in between taking well deserved naps while the weather is still cool enough here for me to be able to do that in the afternoon.
So I was surprised by two things in the eighth inning. The first was that Nick Vincent is on the team. I know, I know, I call myself a Giants fan. But still, I had yet to hear his name or see him pitch in a game. Just odd timing on my part, I suppose. The second was Vincent’s decision to throw to Evan Longoria mid-pitch, allowing a third run for the Rays via a balk.
