Don't know who is the P.A. announcer, with the departure of Renel Brooks-Moon over a contract non-renewal.
CJ Silas?

(38,170 posts)But again, in my puny world, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow are a HUGE part of my MLB experience. That, and Jon Miller on the radio when I'm driving during a game.
The last time I went to a Giants home game it was still called Pac Bell park

(38,170 posts)Years ago, I thought Jon Miller was an old fart, then I discovered he's my age and grew up listening to Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons on the radio, just like me.

(38,170 posts)He had a grand day with his stick, but admits he made a bombastic mistake rounding third and heading for home. Speaking of sticks, everyone was jabbing him with a stick and having fun with it; when Conforto advanced to third on a wild pitch later in the game, Krukow announced the fans were yelling at him to hold at third.

(38,170 posts)With Oracle Park's triple alley, don't be surprised if Conforto hits for the cycle this season.

(38,170 posts)But Tyler Rogers is good for one inning, day after day.
Hitters are starting to dial him in so his efficiency has been slipping.
You know his twin brother, Taylor, pitches for the Giants, too? Curiously, he's a southpaw.
True Dough
(21,524 posts)should trade for Trevor Rogers for good measure!

(38,170 posts)I'm riffing on the time the Alou brother played the outfield for the Giants at the same time.
Felipe, Matty, and Jesús made history in 1963 by becoming the first instance of three brothers appearing as teammates in a major-league game.
