Game Thread: 6.11 Happy Bum Day

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

HP ump really didn’t miss too many calls tonight. Get the frustration from giving up the lead for Bumgarner, but he got a fair zone

That'll work!

It is still #tzillapproved but there are rumblings in his nether regions.

Totally on him. The ump didn’t have an egregious zone.

Maybe the pen really is 20th LOL. I jinxed em

Nice 2-strike mistake

Pretty much...

See baseball makes total sense. Holland beats Scherzer 2-0 on the road, Bum and the pen get killed in Miami

One of the worst losses of the season after maybe the best win. Every year, they seem to have at least one wicked, awful loss in Miami. It's good that they have only one series down there each season. Hopefully, they can still split this series, or at least avoid a total disaster and win one freaking game.

How was this “one of the worst losses of the season”?

They had a 2-run lead in the 6th vs. a team that has now pulled to within 18 games of .500. Losses similar to this one happen to every team, so it's understandable in a long season.

Meh

It didn’t strike me as an overly heart wrenching loss.

shitty pitching equals a shitty loss to a shitty team.

With this rotation (and with Bum throwing like a bum), that is always a fear, but it is just a few runs. The pen isn’t perfect, and we can’t expect it to be perfect. They will falter from time to time.
