Game Thread: 06.28.24 - A Knack for getting caught in a Webb

Wisely - 2b
Ahmed - ss
Webb - p

Looks like Melvin is trying to fix Soler's lack of driving in runs by putting him back in the leadoff spot. Interesting to see Ramos moved to the 3rd spot.

“Ladies and gentlemen, with tzill’s announced boycott of GDT until the Giants are at or over .500, we turn to one of tzill’s many alts, the former LoCal resident who now resides in Tennessee, LHG. Now, over to you, LHG.”

Soler cannot hit with runners on base. Howeve, the last time he hit leadoff, he hit .222. Gotta do something to help him. Maybe this is it.

As sad as that hitting number is, it might well be way above his batting average with runners on base.

I think the idea there is they want Wade's high OBP in front of Ramos so there will be people on base when he hits a 2B or HR

Nice first inning for Webb, strikes out Ohtani looking on 3 pitches, Ks next guy, easy grounder to 3rd

It's not much but taking the good where I see it LOL

"Thanks Stokes. Well folks, it may be muggy hot here in Tennessee but it definitely isn't at the home of the Giants, where their bats are stone cold. Might as well have named this thread 'A Knack for making rookies look like Webb'. Back to you Stokes."

This is what a young, athletic club looks like? I always thought it was the Giants. After all, that is what FZ wanted to build in SF.

Can you at least change the rules for one night? (Or your team's allegiance?)

Too far?

You did say almost.
