Game Thread: 10/11 NLDS Eyebrow vs Lackey

[calsnowskier]

1. Denard Span (L) CF
2. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
3. Buster Posey (R) C
4. Hunter Pence (R) RF
5. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
6. Conor Gillaspie (L) 3B
7. Joe Panik (L) 2B
8. Gregor Blanco (L) LF
9. Matt Moore (L) LHP

Still no Nunez. Still no Pagan.

There is no question that the Cubs have more talent. Hopefully Moore nullifies that talent and EYIAT trumps the bully goat.

Moore on pace to strike out 27...

So we are going into a do or die game shorthanded by two hitters? Perfect.

How did this guy not have walk issues in TB? He has been a walking machine since coming over.

 

[Stokes1931]

Moore on pace to strike out 27...

And walk 9.......

And pitch a no hitter....

 

[calsnowskier]

Actually, on pace to go 4, K 8, walk 4 and give up 0 hits.

I would be somewhat OK with that. We would still need to account for 15 outs, though...

 

[Stokes1931]

How did this guy not have walk issues in TB? He has been a walking machine since coming over.

In 2011-2012, he walked 157 in 327.2 innings, 4.3/9 innings.

With the Giants he's walked 32 in 68.1 innings. 4.2/9 innings.

2013-2016 (2014 he was hurt, 2015 recovering) he was much better with the walk rate. I assume he will be better next year.

Span has decided to join the team... Finally.

 

[Stokes1931]

Spantastic start, doubling against the former Angel.

Avenge 2002!!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Make.Lackey.Work.

No FPOM!!!!

 

[calsnowskier]

Small ball. Me like.

 

[calsnowskier]

Make.Lackey.Work.

No FPOM!!!!

He is typically a strike thrower. Aggression is probably the way to go tonight.

 

[calsnowskier]

God damn it.

Again this crappy team fails to get a hit with RISP.

 

[Stokes1931]

Dayum, Herk, not ONE of those pitches you swung at was even close to the strike zone. Hacktastic!

 

[calsnowskier]

No K's, but that just earned him 3 additional innings.

 

[LHG]

Again with the backup catcher.

 

[LHG]

About time one of our pitchers contributed offensively.

 

[calsnowskier]

DH that, MFers...

 

[LHG]

Seriously?!? The backup catcher again!?!?!

 

[LHG]

No K's, but that just earned him 3 additional innings.

I was thinking 2 additional innings when you posted this, but he gave us 4 additional innings! Great game by Matt Moore!
