Game Thread: 04.16.19 Giants @ Nats

[LHG]

I look up the score 4-1 Giants in 7th and then find no game thread! Tonight's lineup at game time was:
Duggar - rf
Panik - 2b
Posey - c
Belt - 1b
Crawford - ss
Longoria - 3b
Pillar - cf
Parra - lf
Rodriguez - p

Giants showing some thump, with a double from Pillar and home runs from Duggar, Belt and Longoria.

And Parra hits a double to drive in the 5th run for the Giants.

Interesting to see Dave Martinez hitting his 2nd best bat in the 9th hole. Odd, may be a better term.

This is fun

I hate the NBC app 99% of the time. It's stuck on "Your Livestream will resume shortly" for about 10 minutes. I know at this point the game is back on, but I know the livestream is active because the ticker is moving. Finally the livestream resumes on the game again and it's Posey running down the for the third out.... Just in time for commercials!

 

[SFGRTB]

Duggar's approach right now is definitely concerning, but hopefully he's starting to get more comfortable up there

Your GDT is adios pelota, phlap. Per your request.

He just wanted Smith to get a save-opp

Except he didn't get one.

It worked out, this time.

The Giants are only 2 games under .500. How about that?

They were under TML before this game. Jeebus.

Baby steps, phlap, baby steps. The Giants just need to keep getting more Pillars.

Wait, really?

Nice game. Giants have the best bullpen ERA in baseball by far, under 2

All others over 2, and the next 4 are AL teams
