Game Thread: 4/17 SammyJam @ Pure Evil

[tzill]

1. Denard Span (L) CF
2. Joe Panik (L) 2B
3. Buster Posey (R) C
4. Hunter Pence (R) RF
5. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
6. Matt Duffy (R) 3B
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Jeff Samardzija (R) P
9. Angel Pagan (S) LF

A team in. Only one dog with significant ABs vs SammyJam, and the Loathesome One has ownage. In fact, current doyers hitting 417/462/708 vs. Jeff. Nobody has faced Maeda yet.

I'd guess it'll be a hacktastic first trip through the lineup and then we settle down. If SammyJam is on, we should be fine.

5-2 good guys.

Stuck watching the ESPN crew for this game.

This will be painful...

 

[calsnowskier]

Maeda looks wild.

 

[calsnowskier]

24 pitches, at least.

But it looks like the shadows will clear in time for the dogs to bat. That sucks.

 

[calsnowskier]

Sammy has some Tiant in his delivery.

How far was Turner's out? It looked like a pretty deep fly out on the gamecast.

Nice first inning by Sammy...

Buffy really struggling...that ball was right down the middle.

Considering the pitch count on Maeda through two, the whole lineup seems to be struggling.

I think it was just shy of the track.

Span and Pence almost collided, though...

1st inning was fine. But a 9 pitch 2nd es no bueno.

This team is supposed to be a scrappy, keep the line moving offense. But they started bopping, and since that has dried up a bit, the scrappiness has not shown up.

Thanks. Glad they didn't.

I know batting average isn't the ultimate measure of offense, but there quite a few looking sickly right now.

 

[calsnowskier]

Sammy looking solid again.

Bum may be our #3 this year...

Belt and Pagan are really the monsters so far. Span, Panik, Duffy are all really struggling.

 

[calsnowskier]

Great. There goes the no-no.

 

[calsnowskier]

Yea, msg...

My comment caused a real shitshow.

I am not sure why we even have GDTs. If we actually comment on the game at all, we are just jinxing it.

 

[calsnowskier]

Marlin man is at this game. This isn't that big a game.

There must a playoff game in LA tomorrow (I am too lazy to look)

Nope, the no-no is still going.
