Gonzo with a bad back or he'd be in the lineup, apparently.

 

[calsnowskier]

Of the starting 10 ( ), only 4 will DEFINITELY be back next year. This team is FINALLY doing what should have been done 5 years ago.

 

[tzill]

Wynns with an RBI single B2. T3 Braves just got their first baserunner (walk).

1-0 good guys

 

[calsnowskier]

I would love to see league wide SDI stats. We get frustrated when we dont get them, but are we better than other teams? Worse? About average?

 

[tzill]

Mittfuckery and an unearned run in the third. 1-1 B3

yeah, tough to say. I thought we were the worst in the majors at getting a runner in from third with less than 2 outs for YEARS. Turns out the historical average is about 50% which is where the Giants landed.

 

[tzill]

Morton 59 pitches through 3; Rodon 36.

On to the 4th.

 

[tzill]

B4 -- two doubles (VR and Davis) 2-1 good guys.

We need a SDI here.

 

[tzill]

and we got one.
Rodon: 5 IP 1 H 8 K 1 BB. The only run is unearned. 2.84 ERA now.
Man, we need to re-sign this guy.

 

[tzill]

interesting: Rodon pulled after 5 innings, 71 pitches.

TRog works a one hit sixth.

B6 2-1 good guys.

 

[tzill]

B6 2 out bases loaded single by Wynns

4-1 good guys.

Holy shit did you guys see what Doval just did to the Braves? I'll be surprised if he's not soon considered the best closer in the game. He's NASTY now with 2 pitches he throws over 100 mph and a 3rd (filthy slider) one to boot

 

[tzill]

Nice job by FYWW today, especially Doval with the 3 K ninth for the save.

only 5 hits but 4 runs.

Carlos Rodón came out early with a blister and cracked nail. Something he’s been dealing with all year. Giants will see how he feels next couple days but it’s not a serious issue.

He has been untouchable since he added the cutter. He still gets a bit of a wild hair from time to time, but I agree, I think he is “this close” to being “THE guy”.

Great he is injured. Now he will activate his option and we will be stuck with him…

Rodon now leads the NL in strikeouts by 1 over Burnes. He is second in the majors behind Cole.

Whaaaaa?

All reports have him making his next start. He'll opt out and we'll have to back up the truck to keep him.
