Game Thread: 06/19/2017 Giants @ Braves

The weirdest part is Posey is having his best year with the bat in his career, all of it wasted. What if he was hitting like this last year?

We may disagree a bit here. Posey's average is fantastic, but he is supposed to be a run producer. He is failing to drive in runs when needed. He and Craw had 1st and 3rd with 0/1 out in the first, and they failed. Give Cueto one or two first in ing runs and it may be a different game. Instead they are shut out by a guy who has a 5.5 ERA against the rest of the league. This is maddening, and not inthe EASports way.

Good job by Cueto tonight. Everyone else sucked.

Morris did a good job, too. He kept 2 inherited runners from scoring.

It started during the 2016 ASB. Maybe one day we will find out what really happened to send this team nose-diving into the toilet. 56-88 record since then.

Well, at least Cueto helped his trade value tonight.

There is that, to be sure.

Wheels, tires, axles, brakes, engine, steering wheel...

This is my go to gif for 2017. Perfectly sums up the 8th inning tonight (as well as game 4 of last year's NLDS).

What if we only had 20 blsvs instead of 30 last year. The whole season would have looked completely different.

I would have settle for ONE fewer blown save last year...

The Giants were already 4-11 post ASB when that trade went down.

Let's not practice revisionist history here...

AND...

Duffy has not even played this year yet. Dude blew out his Achilles. His career is essentially over.
