Cueto looking very sharp, in throwing BP. Only 3 HR's for KC so far today. Good to see that this team hasn't phoned it in.

Is Cuetos option a player one? If so, :L

And of course the Giants' patient offense has no walks through 5 innings. THey are 8-21 when two walks or less.
The Giants are on pace to have more than 40 games where they score 1 or less.

Seriously.

Royals lead 7-1, and have hit 3 homers (in a park where no one hits homers), and they are the 3rd worst offense in the majors, AND

they are 1-14 with RISP

Imagine the score if they had clutch hitting

Imagine the score if the GIants had ANY hitting. Geez, the Royal starter had an ERA of about 6, and has given up next to nothing

I love baseball, but this is not baseball.

It's garbage, embarrassing baseball. One-game lead now on SD in the race for last place.

This is what happens when you only have 1 truly scary hitter and 2 ok ones.

Today was the 18th such game this season. That puts us on a pace for 44 on the season.

Remember the shit we gave (???) back in '08 (I think) for predicting 40 shutouts? This team is putting up numbers that make that prediction somewhat reasonable...

Belt's OBP is decent, but we need a hitter in the #3 slot. Perhaps moving Posey back to #3, Crawford 4, Pence 5, Belt 6. That .230 average is just appalling. And no one can drive in runs anyway, but shoot. We've had 31 games of Belt at #2 (.212) and 26 games at #3 (.273). Well. maybe those #3 numbers aren't too bad. The whole hitting thing is sucky.

I don't see any scary hitters on this team.
Posey is having a great year (MVP-worthy if the team were doing anything at all), but he is not a "feared" hitter. You need more power to be "feared".

And I am not sure I know who msg was referring to when he mentioned "2 ok ones". :noidea:
