Game Thread: 04.30.18 Game #29

[calsnowskier]

He's batting 2nd today. Not that much of a difference to move from 2nd to 1st.

Cascade effect.

Who goes into the #2 spot?

 

[calsnowskier]

Any mention of Cutch?

I'll leave McCutchen at 2nd if Blanco is playing more and batting leadoff. Or maybe play Slater and bat him 2nd behind McCutchen. I've had about enough of Jackson and Hernandez is looking not so hot anymore.

 

[calsnowskier]

Looks like mlb app is back up. And Cutch is still in the game (phew)

 

[LHG]

It should be noted that Gearrin actually kept the inherited runner from scoring today. That means he'll be coming into games in that situation for the next month solid.

 

[calsnowskier]

It seems to me (no stats to back it up) that the Giants give up more seeing-eye-singles by a mile than what they get. Is that actual, or just my frustration with this game talking?

 

[calsnowskier]

Padres are a fast team, but I gotta figure at least a few of these double play chances would have converted with Craw/Panik in there.

Cutch should be coming out of his funk soon (seriously) and you want that bat in the middle of the order.

We just don’t have a traditional leadoff guy on the team. There is no good answer.

If Slater isn't going to get much playing time (and that is just ridiculous, in my opinion) at least put Blanco out there more. He's getting on base at a good clip when he gets chances to play so far this season. I think he'd be a better choice than either Hernandez or Jackson. When the team is going through the offensive funk that the Giants are going through, why sit one of the hottest hitters in the clubhouse on the bench?

Can we PLEASE get some hits off this flower-penis???

Panda says "you're welcome". At least, he does once he catches his breath.

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt with the FPOM in the 8th

Pablo doubles

Began the game 2-5 with RISP, now 2-9. Nice going against another rookie LHP.

“Huff huff huff”

“You’re...”


“Huff huff huff”



“Welcome...”


“Huff huff huff...”


“Hey, where’s my sundae?”

 

[calsnowskier]

This is OUR time, Mr Hand...

 

[Stokes1931]

Well, if there is justice, since the Padres' sub-.200 hitter can drive in a run, why not our sub-.200 hitter (Craw)?

 

[calsnowskier]

How is it that Sandoval puts together the best ABs on this team?

There is something very wrong with that...

Because we aren’t facing the Giants pitchers (and their tight sphincters)

Nah, more like-

“Huff huff huff”

“You...”

“Huff huff huff”

"...'re"

“Huff huff huff”

“Wel...”

“Huff huff huff”

"...come"

“Huff huff huff...”

You know, a sundae sounds good right now.

 

[Stokes1931]

This just drives me crazy. Craw has been sitting on the bench all night. Comes in to pinch hit and makes an out on the very first pitch he sees. With a RISP.

So much patience with this team, it's sick.
