I am not sure working the count will be an effective strategy for either team this series. Both have solid pens.

Giants hitters making this guy look like a CY winner…

Dont Want That at all ....

I have counted 3 HORRIBLE ball/strike calls so far…

 

[filosofy29]

Duggar has grown so much as a hitter. That was strike 3 a couple years ago every time.

 

[calsnowskier]

I don’t think that mask works, buddy…

 

[filosofy29]

Welp, making him work at least. But like Cal alluded to, who knows if that’s the winning strategy.

True, but working the count also helps you find a good pitch to hit. And a 25+ pitch inning is tiring, etc.

Working the count to get a pitch you like is ALWAYS a good strategy. But working it for working it sake to build the pitch count is kinda a fools errand in this series.

Wood looking good, but too many easy takes…

 

[SF11704]

Scherzer is at 43 pitches .... 5 innings at that rate ...

 

[tzill]

Team that scores first is going to win. Hope Wood holds up.

I miss Belt ... but having Muncy out helps .... a lot!!!! Seems that guy kills our pitching ....

 

[filosofy29]

Wood!

Yup, that’s definitely a fair trade. Especially the way Muncy owns us.

He’s gotta watch out for Trea. He looked balanced as all F in the box.

max getting some generous calls
