Snake Bytes 8/5: Banda Big Leagues; Goldy MVP
Anthony Banda is trying to prove he belongs in the Big Leagues. His 6-inning effort will go a long way toward that goal. His 4th inning was shaky after losing breaking ball command and walking in the Giants’ only run. But he showed enough poise to get out of it without further damage. Goldy got half of the D-backs hits in the game and drove in just enough for the nice win. It is cliche perhaps, but he is carrying this team on his back right now and deserves serious MVP consideration. Also, nice to see Fernando Rodney get his 3rd save in consecutive days. I didn’t even have to break out the antacids during his clean outing.
