Vosler 2B

Bottom of the 3rd, 3-1 bad guys.


This is bad little league play. Pedo better hit AT LEAST 1 HR today to make up for that shit.

Since coming back from the IL, the best hitter on the team has a line of…

.182 / .342 / .303 / .645


Stellar!

 

[calsnowskier]

I am gonna tz this shit.

I’m out.

FZ: it is really hard to find 8 players who can both hit AND field.

Every Giants fan: Than can you please find some players who can do at least 1 of the two?

You won't hear any arguments from me on Belt right now. He stinks.

2-6 against three of the worst teams in baseball, at home?

Can't hit.

Can't field.

Can't pitch (save Webb usually and Rodon)

Hey Kap, your team has scored one run in the last 18 innings over three games.

Kap: "We'll be fine....."

In his defense, what do you want him to say?

They aren't playing good. When the season started did any of us think they would play this bad? April they looked great, now they don't. Is there really anything to be done?

There was an interesting article by Grant Brisbee in the Athletic recently saying that the Giants are not hitting badly. One of the metrics was runs scored. I'd have to go back and check, but in April, the Giants had multiple games where they clobbered the opposition (like 10-2). A few of those games go a long way to covering up the stinker of yesterday (1-0) in the aggregate. I also recall (I was tracking it) that of the first 80 runs the Giants scored this season, something like 60 were scored with two out. That stat has dried up almost completely in the last six weeks.

That's a pretty good description of their current troubles...but again, not sure there's anything to be done. We like these players, we know they are capable of more. They aren't as good as they looked in April and they aren't as bad as they look now. Either they will get back on track or they won't, I don't think Kapler and FZ are doing things wrong really, the players we counted on to do something aren't doing it lately.

And still lots of time really. Braves started the year terrible, now they look good again. It can change.

I also recently read that the hitting coach from last year, Donnie Ecker, is now with the Rangers. Wonder if that's been a negative.
