4 innings 4 runs, 5 innings no runs. Crappy pitching by the usually reliable Watson, but terrible hitting.

From the Athletic today:

That brings us to the reason the Giants were using a pinch hitter in the fourth inning.

Jeff Samardzija was not right, and there was no hiding it.

Samardzija struggled to hit 90 mph at times and everything was elevated. During one sequence in the second inning, Buster Posey went for a mound visit. One pitch later, Posey was back on the mound with pitching coach Curt Young forming a party of three. Something clearly was wrong. Derek Holland warmed up in the third and again in the fourth.

After the game, manager Bruce Bochy could only soft-shoe for so long:

“Sometimes if there’s some stiffness there, it takes you a hitter or two to get the arm loose to where it needs to be,” Bochy said. “That looked like it could’ve been the case tonight.”

Samardzija also acknowledged experiencing more of the shoulder issues that became insurmountable in the spring and led to two stints on the disabled list.

Dude's hurt. Shut him down for the rest of the year.

Hmmm, it looks like jul20 has every game as free game of the day. Maybe it's a mistake.

Anyone who has the app, or cares about out of market games already pays for the service, though, I would think. Who cares which games are “free”?

I kept telling myself next year. Now I'm on a fixed income. I'm trying to regain motion in my shoulder so I'm doing PT 3day/wk. the bills haven't hit yet but a call to blue cross revealed they are being billed $400/visit. I won't be paying near that but still...

The last time I was here Livingston was rehabbing from his knee blowout.
