@susanslusser A loss that's easy to shrug off. They hit the ball hard. Mahle threw it harder than he has. It came down to Ketel.

@susanslusser In the world of Baseball reporting, you're one of the few names I trust. Talk show hosts can take a back seat.

@MLBNetwork Posey has already said they will not trade Webb.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@LADTerritory @realFRG A defense first catcher who has minor league options left.

@JonHeyman I did the unthinkable and voted for Schwarber. Gasp! And I'm not even a Phillies fan. Double Gasp!

@susanslusser Best wishes to Bericoto, Arraez and all players with ties to Venezuela.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@susanslusser Kind of a big day of reporting at the ballpark. Can't imagine what your notebook looks like.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@susanslusser @JakeWilcken Are you and FP scheduled to do a podcast?

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@SFGiants @Arraez_21 NL has several worthy second basemen: Turang, Hoerner, Edwards, Lowe .. but I voted for Arraez. Twice.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@PavlovicNBCS I voted for Arraez. JHL and PCA should be higher.

@BBGreatMoments What John needs is another analyst in the booth. He just talks too much. Instead of thinking about his next comment, he just fills the air. This becomes evident every time he says "What I mean by that ..."

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@susanslusser Giants keeping you and Sarah Langs busy chasing historical offensive numbers.

@JustBB_Media @Buster_ESPN Jorge Soler

@MLBNow @TheMayorsOffice @JonHeyman Buster Posey has been with the Giants since 2008. That would make him the 7th longest tenured executive if we count years as a player. Question is will Giants ownership go with the "patience pays" theme expressed here?

@MLBStats Arraez

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@BruinDonaldRuns The offense maybe bought into their own comeback magic? A team like the Gaels you want to put away early.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@TaylorBlakeWard Bruins offense never fully got going which put a lot of pressure on their pitching staff. Gaels have the third best offense in the country so something had to give.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@susanslusser @sfchronicle Criticism of this team and its players is justified. But the way some fans react is beyond belief.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@gggiants Last game it was base running. Game before it was defense. It's a flawed team. The bullpen is just part of the problem. Even if they had a closer of any repute, the other flaws would be inescapable.

[Michael Hotten @michaelhotten]

@ButcherBoy415 Look, the team wanted his bat in the lineup so they had to find a way. It just means you might have to live with the consequences.
