Emmanuel Burriss gets called up, Giants lineup tonight

Giants fans finally got what they wanted.  After not being able to record an out in yesterday’s game Todd Wellemeyer has been designated for assignment and Emmanuel Burriss has been called up from AAA-Fresno.  This is a move that clearly needed to be made.  With 13 pitchers and only 4 players on the bench, Bochy had to use Matt Cain to pinch-hit in what could have been an important spot in the game.

I doubt that Burriss will play tonight but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him at some point this series with the struggles of both Freddy Sanchez and Edgar Renteria.




And back with the Water Buffalo Defense.  Here is today’s lineup.


CF Torres
SS Renteria
RF Huff
C Posey
LF Burrell
3B Sandoval
2B Uribe
1B Ishikawa
P Bumgarner
