The 4th time through the lineup, the ‘Stros will have to face Ramos/Bailey/Chapman. If we can get that deep, that is…

You mean, just like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd times through the lineup?

The Stros pitcher has nearly identical number to NewAce...can't see a ton of runs being scored tonight.

So a TZILL Game then.

Is that how that works?

Hmmm. Imagine that…

Right up until the mittfuckery.

that error cost us the game. Hicks will get the loss, but it really should be on Chapman.

I hate baseball.

Has Hicks (a lifetime reliever) hit a wall? His starts are getting shorter and shorter, and less sharp.

 

[Stokes1931]

Soler 0-2 with 2 K's, one swinging and one looking

Before the game, Winn and Aurilia did a deep dive analysis into how fubar’d his mechanics are right now. Not encouraging. Basically, he isn’t seeing the ball and has no idea what he is swinging at.

Sometimes I wonder if you understand this game.

He has already lasted much longer than I expected.

Heck, that sounds like MY mechanics. Hey FZ, I'll DH for you for only $5 million a year.

ZING!

 

[Stokes1931]

Like last night, hitters 1-3 (the young guys) are 3-9 with a double and a homer.

Hitters 4-9 are 0-12 with a walk and 5 K's

Who is our hitting coach? Pee Wee Herman?

 

[Stokes1931]

There were some comments in The Athletic about Hjelle being an option for another starter. While intriguing, he has found something and is in a groove. I'd hate to mess with his success in the role he has now.

 

[Stokes1931]

Through 7 innings, the Giants are 0-1 with RISP. 0 for freaking 1?!? How is that even possible? Not the 0, but the 1.

 

[sf1giantfan]

All we need is 3 home runs in a row or a 3 run shot!!!

Getting creative with new ways of futility. The same old ways are getting boring.

 

[LHG]

Bob Melvin has decided to pack it in early. Luke Jackson is out to pitch the 9th inning.
