Game Thread: 10.8.16 Giants vs. Cubs Game 2

[BeerMe]

Man Belt reacted like that was gonna be gone. He's just missed two tonight

Bum comes in to bat, promptly hits a BULLET

edit: they gave him 2 errors on that? Should be a hit and error

Could have gone either way, but good gamesmanship by the Chicago scorer. Get in Bums head early for Monday.

I thought it was gone

Nice play Gonor! Now transfer that to your bat

2nd time this series Zobrist takes strike 3 right down the plate and argues about it. Sit down dude

Yeah, at least our guys walk out with some dignity

His glove has been very solid this year.

IIRC, one of the reason he was trade-fodder in his first tour with the Gs was because of his non-existent glove.

Yeah he was brutal. I'd even say he was pretty shaky early in the year. Ron Wotus is a magician though.

Did you know the Cubs haven't won the World Series in a long time? I didn't

Instant karma for Baez

 

[SFGRTB]

Fuck yeah!

 

[BeerMe]

^^^instant karma is right!

Also... Casilla you suck

 

[calsnowskier]

At the beginning of the year, K&K said that the league had mandated that replay was not supposed to consider those incidental off-the-plate tags

Obviously, the umpires never got that memo.

Why did Bochy pull Blach with just 15 pitches thrown?

 

[SFGRTB]

Maybe that will fire the guys up a little.

I could only imagine the whole L/R thing.

Or...

This is a lost game, so he wants to get lots of arms work without losing anyone for Monday.

Or...

He wanted Blach to leave with a guaranteed good outing while trying to get Casilla back in the fold.

Playoff scoreless streak at 14 innings. lol

 

[SFGRTB]

Kelby is going to play 3rd the rest of this game. Unless Nunez is magically ready.

 

[calsnowskier]

Why the fuck spend a bat on Gonor in the 7th inning?

Now all we have is Gorkys to ph the rest of the game (unless we use UPS).

Makes no sense.

This is a lost game, so he wants to get lots of players at-bats without losing anyone for Monday.

Or...

He wanted Gillaspie to leave with a guaranteed good defensive outing while trying to get Tomlinson time at third.
