over-under on holding the reds scoreless for an inning? (and no, the ninth doesn't count)

I've only been able to do that in one of the last 13 innings the Reds have batted, so . . .

And, um, Bryan Morris is in, so, uh, yeah. My confidence in a scoreless inning is pretty much at zero.

He didn't bail on this place. He announced a couple weeks in he was taking a break from the Giants. Can't blame him.

He will be back.

I didn't mean permanently. I didn't read the actual announcement but saw other posts about his sabbatical. Sorry I wasn't clear on that.

Well at least Morris lowered his ERA by, what, about 8?

edit: I'm thinking JC will be the stopper tomorrow.

The Giants will enter the finale with a run differential of negative 59, by far the worst in the majors.

:lm:

That's a great point....I'm honestly not sure if this is harder to watch, or if we had the same record but kept losing by 1-2 runs?

11-20 is hard to watch in any case. Not with the payroll we have, and the expectations we have had. If this is truly a .333 team, then it is horrendously overpaid. But hey, the stadium is paid for. :nod:

It blows for sure but to me they are still playing with house money after the run they gave us. I'm honestly not sweating it, and still enjoying the seemingly rare as hell fun games.

Well, sure. I have stated numerous times that if the Giants never even make it to the Series again in my lifetime, I have no complaints. A 3-2 record in the Series is decent for any fan in their lifetime.

That doesn't mean I am happy with them sucking donkey balls on the reg, though.

I was listening to the Cincy broadcaster describing Garrett to KNBR today... sounds like he'll be a handful for long while. Big guy, hides his delivery, very confident....

Yeah he's a stud. Not an overpowering guy, but just has that x-factor. Doesn't have many miles on his arm either.
