1-0 good guys.



Obviously.

 

[SFGRTB]

I have minimal confidence in Holland today.

 

[SFGRTB]

I was okay with Holland as a 2nd lefty, or maybe a swing man in a pinch, but damn reality is settling in that he's our 3rd starter haha.

Gonna need more than Panik today.

 

[msgkings322]

There goes our run differential for the year LOL

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey and Longo need to bust out of their O-fer start to the season.

 

[Stokes1931]

An EWS would be nice here from Longo.

An Ewwww We Suck?

 

[SFGRTB]

Well, they got 77 pitches out of Maeda through four innings at least

 

[SFGRTB]

I can live with 3 runs in 5 innings from Holland

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants now 1-20 on the season when, well, you know. 0-9 tonight.

And, drum roll please, we have one whole walk tonight. That said, we did make Maeda throw a ton of pitches.

 

[SFGRTB]

Sounds like Posey may have tweaked something as well

It certainly hasn't been pretty. Was hoping they'd be able to figure out Maeda today. Kershaw and Wood are tough, so I was willing to give them a pass. Maybe they just threw them out of whack. You see a lot of fastballs in Spring Training, not many breaking balls and all 3 of the Dodger pitchers throw nasty off-speed stuff.

At least some sort of rally would be nice, though.

 

[SFGRTB]

Nice 1-2-3 from Moronta.

Assuming the Giants don't tie this up or take the lead, the Giants' Pen is still spotless.

Id rather have a stellar 'pen than a stellar batting order.

9 hits--no runs--dam.

Everyone else in the lineup was expecting Panik to pick up the slack. I'm disappointed that he didn't hit 6 solo home runs today. He needs to be benched.
