Series Thread: Giants @ Phillies

Let's go Cesar!

We win this here in the 12th.

 

[jvett77]

0-5 Altherr up with 2 on, 1 out.

 

[jvett77]

Franco! Clutch GW RBI! What a satisfying win!

 

[jvett77]

Velasquez on today for the sweep vs lefty Moore with 6 QSs in a row. Looks like hot Howard will start again. I'm headed out to the ballpark. A beautiful day for the game, bull barbecue, cheese steaks, and brews. The hit parade must go on! Go Phillies!

I'm watching the first couple of innings, then listening on the radio on my trip up to Cooperstown. Fuck the Giants

Maikel Franco's game-winning hit is no longer a hit

If the official scorer can rule discretion on a stolen base that goes unchecked, why can't they ignore the force out if it contributes nothing to the winning run being scored?

Velasquez is very slow on the mound today

 

[Omar 382]

I think I see you jvett. Are you with mentally challenged 80 year old in a Diamondbacks' uniform?

 

[_phiLLies_]

this is exactly why i'd give up velasquez, quickly, with the right deal. it's just the 1st inning and he's already at 25 pitches (not including about 6-7 to the runner on 1st) and only 1 out.

it's another game where he's going to top out around 5 innings, 6 if we're lucky.

Yeah, I like Velasquez and he is still young, but he's certainly not an "untouchable." Besides, you know what happens to untouchables....

 

[Omar 382]

Heil Altherr!

 

[Omar 382]

Who wants crack? Weed? Velasquez is dealing again!

?

Velazquez does have the fewest starts of more than 6 IP in this rotation, but his percentage of starts that lasted 6 innings is pretty much in line with the rest of the rotation. And he probably would have gone further in one of his five inning starts (got lifted for a PH in the 6th in a 0-0 tie), which would have given him the second highest percentage of 6 or more inning outings on the staff.

It's all Altherr's fault- CRUCIFY HIM

It's not a hit until everyone reaches the next base safely.

Absolutely.
Merkle's famous gaffe ended the inning.
Sure, on a home run, the batter must touch every base.
And every runner in front must touch their base.

This runner was not required to touch the base for the winning run to score.
Couldn't they rule runner indifference and allow the hit to stand?

Joseph draws a leadoff walk to start the 4th.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Paredes sucks so much.

Galvis up with a chance for an RBI after Goeddel takes a two-out walk.
