Just two miserable ABs from JDD and Joc.

You forgot the lead off home run by Early Afternoon LaMonte.

 

[LHG]

And the Twins pulled out the win. Hunter Greene was dealing but Diaz was uncharacteristic in a 9th inning meltdown. Sam Moll didn't help in relief of him.

Nice SDI, "ace"


this..phuking...team.

I see the D-Backs are taking advantage of base stealing. Even Bailey cannot seem to stop them.

Apparently, when the DBacks are batting, they are using larger bases than are used when the Giants are batting.

FZ needs to look into getting these bases. Because being younger and more athletic has not helped.

Love top of the second, lads....out phuking standing.

Did something happen to Crawford? Why is DeJong now in the game?

 

[LHG]

Webb/Bailey getting run all over by the D-Backs. And that ball 3 call on Marte was very much in the strike zone.

 

[LHG]

Webb clearly not at his best. Too bad he cannot face his own team's lineup like the rest of MLB gets to do.

I know the typically let their starters play a full 9, but it looks like Kap is trying a new strategy of cycling different players into the game.



Seriously, though…

I am not watching or following the game. I hope Craw isn’t hurt because I want him to take the field in SF for his last game and get a loud cheer. He deserves that moment.

1-3 end of 3. This one feels over

 

[tzill]

and now catching up to real time, 1-3 end of 5.

Almost definitely over. We can't score four runs, much less hold them scoreless

Does anyone know if our catcher has broken the record for most throwing errors in a season by a player named Bailey ?

 

[calsnowskier]

I wonder if Kap has lost this team.

I have been very against firing him if FZ is kept, but IF Kap has lost the team (I have no idea if he has, but that idea has been floated the last few days), than I don’t know if they can continue on with him.

Early talk of him winning the GG were DEFINITELY premature. He has regressed defensively quite a bit just in the last month or so.

I think he has. I see no other clear reason besides that explanation. So it must be.
