Atlanta with the HUGE inning...

Game over.

 

[Stokes1931]

Once again, through 5 innings, no walks and no runs. (sigh)

Shutout #8 on the season coming right up.

Atlanta with the HUGE inning...

Game over.

With Matt "Giving Up" Moore on the mound, I don't feel good about the Giants' chances before the Braves scored any runs. The dude is bad this year and deserves the offense he gets.

 

[LHG]

Brandon Belt is even starting to irk me now. The slump he's in is prolonged even by his standards. He's gone from a top 10 MLB 1st baseman to a top 20, maybe. I expect him to start doing better, but I expected this team to start playing better by now. It seems that most of these guys, mentally, are already on the golf course.

 

[calsnowskier]

I just got home and turned on the game in time to see the challenge and the the Slater bomb.

You are welcome.

Uh, thank you? Why don't you do this more often?

 

[calsnowskier]

I am a selfish bastard and would rather do my own thing, Giants results be damned.

 

[calsnowskier]

Remind me again why KT doesn't get more PT...

 

[LHG]

Remind me again why KT doesn't get more PT...

XBHs, or a lack thereof. Oh, and Aaron Hill. Veteran presence is important in a lineup full of veterans.

 

[calsnowskier]

When did Atlanta bring back Brooks Conrad? I missed that on the transaction page...

With his wheels, I don't care about his SLG. Bat him leadoff until he proves he isn't an MLB hitter.

 

[LHG]

Stokes, what is Posey's BA with RISP now?

 

[calsnowskier]

The Giants grounded into THREE double plays that inning.


Even when they explode for a huge inning, they have unprecedented levels of ridiculousness.

But Span has a .319 OBP!




Which is 3rd lowest in this lineup.

They try their hardest. Just need to work on what they are trying to do.

 

[LHG]

Seems Bochy is a bit gun shy to go to his bullpen. I have no idea why.

[calsnowskier]

I really like lefty on the mic. He has a future.
