Ramos having a rough night so far. Make an error to allow the first Padres' run and then grounds into a DP at the bottom of the 1st to kill a Giants' "rally".

“Giants rally” is whenever a Giants player gets on base.

Yup.

That was Fine base running by Canha steals second and gives us real hope for a wild pitch and throwing error... better than the chances of a hit with RISP. Smart guy trying to not leave it to the hitters.

Unfortunately some teams don’t play that way. At least it tried

Conforto - 2 ab's, 2 K's

Chappy - 2 ab's, 2 K's

Nice production from the middle of the order.

I like Kruk but sometimes over the top, like Bailey was in a Slump... He was packed in Dry Ice for quite awhile. LOL

 

[Stokes1931]

Odds of a third straight shutout?

Odds of not scoring another run this season?

Hitting a baseball is hard, after all.

Hardly hitting a baseball must be incredibly easy.

 

[Stokes1931]

Padres make scoring runs look easy. Must be nice.

Kruk is WAY too “company line”.

don’t get me wrong, I fully believe he is a HOFer and one of the greatest announcers ever. I love him. But love doesn’t/shouldn’t make anyone above fair critique. And my critique of him is that I can almost never trust his flowery descriptions of any Giants players.

However, when he goes off on someone, which he does about 2 or 3 times a year, he is typically spot on.

 

[Sandisfan]

This team is not getting to .500 this year, at this rate maybe 8 to 10 below

I expect we will be shut out 40 more times this season.

At least!

Good memory!

 

[Stokes1931]

Donnie Barrels 4-4 tonight with three doubles, hitting .299

"Hi, fellas! Remember me?"

 

[Sandisfan]

I Know sometimes it a tribute, but does every guy who hits for extra bases have to put both arms and look to the sky. Once I a while is fine but every time?

 

[Stokes1931]

0 walks

8 K's

0 XBH

Total failure at the plate.

 

[Stokes1931]

Please just shut Hicks down for the rest of the year. This is getting embarrassing.
