Hardly hitting a baseball must be incredibly easy.

I should know, I'm able to do that just about every time I make contact with a baseball by swinging a bat.

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.

It must boil up to a point he cannot handle it any longer.

As tzill would point out, this game had it all . . .

Starting to wonder how many of these "hitters" we want back in 2025.

 

[LHG]

Or pitchers, for that matter

 

[Stokes1931]

Thursday loss 3-0
Friday loss 5-0
Saturday loss 8-0

That's 16-0 against the Padres, with one more game and two more innings left

Don't know which is worse, the pitching fecal-fest or the batting-barforama.

Sorry, I mistook a bunch of batboys for hitters. Whoops. I think Melvin made the same mistake, since he let them swing at pitches.

I can understand the mistake. After scoring 13 runs on Wednesday, some people thought we actually had some hitters. Seems like this happens a lot. Score a bunch of runs then, BOOP, a week's worth of absolute nothing.

I’m now officially concerned for next year. They have nothing right now. They need a General Patton on their case. Someone to guide and encourage them, to give them hope. Instead I see lazy managing, lost opportunities, no stealing, no bunting, no taking chances. No Soto is going to change that. We need a change of attitude and direction starting with our leadership.
