2010 NLDS

Giants pitchers seem to get more of the marquee coverage, but these are two good pitching staffs.

Game 4 is underway in Atlanta

So it's Madison Bumgarner vs. Derek Lowe just getting going in Atlanta, and as you all know, Brooks Conrad is out of the lineup and Troy Glaus is in.

Conrad has the yips, no question, but Glaus is not a real defensive stalwart at third anymore. So that's a potential storyline to watch. Speculation is that this might be a more high-scoring affair tonight, but neither team is killing the ball so far in the series. The Giants are hitting .225, the Braves .165 (thanks, Tim Lincecum!).

UPDATE: Everyone's talking about Glaus as his potential defensive shortcomings, and it's Mike Fontenot who makes an error at third for the Giants.
