7/5 GDT Giants @ Nats

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

well Casilla blows this. Closer by Committee?

 

[Stokes1931]

God, this is gonna sound shatty, but the Nats have a legit line up. Not getting RISP in with less than 2 outs is gonna be the bane of this team.

Going to be?!? Hello! We are last in baseball in this category, for a team that has hitters who t for average, with RISP they turn into Scooby Doo.

Giants freaking 3 for 15 with RISP tonight, and one of those hits just loaded the bases without scoring a run!

F You Casilla

 

[mistgl]

I think I've given up on Casilla as the closer....

 

[filosofy29]

Wow. The As have ruined Casilla.

 

[gp956]

All those missed opportunities......should have had at least eight runs.

 

[gp956]

Hanging sliders.......I hate them.

 

[gp956]

Clutch play Theriot.

 

[Stokes1931]

Sheesh. Bases loaded, no outs, bottom of the 9th. We'lll see if Casilla has a brass pair or not.

 

[Stokes1931]

Time for a PBF

After leading this game 5-1 we lose 5-6. Great Job Bullpen A efforts by Affeldt and Casilla

Count me in the "Done with Casilla" boat. It's romo time

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

loads gun. Aims at head (BOOM)

 

[Stokes1931]

Great.

Hey Angry Boch, LaRoche is a lefty, why not bring in Lopez, our LOOGY?

A dog meat decision and we lose the game.

 

[gp956]

Crawford/Belt

Easy turn, easy scoop. Both failed.

 

[gp956]

Great.

He got the DP groundball. Can't ask more than that in the situation.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

So much hype going into this series and we simply were killed. We obviously are not the better team. We had some of our best guys go out there, we were healthy. Nats didn't even have their Ace's go.
Plain and simple we are at best the 2nd best team in the N.L, and I'd say 3rd or 4th

Also keep in mind this Nationals team doesn't have Werth or Drew Storen.

 

[gp956]

Now on to the Pirates, another first place team.

 

[gp956]

Espinoza's strategic lean into a strike really played a big part in that win. Moved the line a couple of hitters, and got the top of the Nats lineup up in the ninth.

Up to Zito to stop the bleeding tomorrow.
