Game Thread: 4.14 Roupp @ Philth 3:45pm

The word we're looking for is 'efficiency', although 'luck' would do as well.

We saw it in 10, 12 and 14, then again in 21. “Luck” is contagious. While it is completely undefineable, there is no question that it is a thing.

Phil’s now 4-45 with RISP last 5 games. That’s less than ideal

Yaz has been much better than Ramos so far this year (it’s early of course)

 

[Sandisfan]

Twould be Noice if Last Season Fitzgerald is Back!

Luck, baseball gods, randomness, whatever you call it sometimes you get some of it

Yaz is having a career start, Ramos came out hot then faded. Overall OF production has vastly exceeded my expectations

Adames may be coming around, good to see.

Man, our leadoff spot is a black hole. Whoever bats there doesn't hit at all.

Hitting in the leadoff position, the Snakes lead baseball with a .344/.447/.688/1.135 line

The Giants are last in baseball at the leadoff position hitting (or not) .097/.174/.210/.384 with 28K's in 65 AB's

Gotta find a leadoff hitter.

Yaz says ‘I’m your huckleberry’

1-10 tonight is a slight improvement, yes?

That can be so frustrating.

I agree but way too soon to expect it all year. Yaz has always been a sneaky legit hitter so if he has a great year I won’t be too surprised

Yes He has been Very Good.

Looks like you found a kindred spirit

Reenforces how much shorter these east coast parks play.

Is Yaz in a contract year? That carrot always seems to extract a little more oomph

They just resigned him actually but I think it was just one year? He was in a contract year last year for sure.

It’s baseball haha. The ebbs and flows. No rhyme no reason. What frustrates me is the number of at bats they give away. Phil’s have had three nice teams in a row and nothing to show for it because in the biggest of games they get themselves out. Seeing a lot of that early this season.

 

[msgkings322]

Miller and RanRod still with 0 for their ERA. Anyone else still there?

 

[Stokes1931]

A very gracious strike 3 call there for Miller vs Realmuto

 

[Sandisfan]

That was an Umpack in our favor!

 

[stanford the manford]

Millers 3rd strike on Realmundo (?sp) was an absolute gift.

 

[msgkings322]

I looked it up, Birdy also with a 0 and that’s over 9 innings so far
