Am I the only one here tonight?

I will kvetch with you, but my loyalties are split tonight. Go Dubs!

My DVR has dibs on my TV tonight, so I have to watch the Giants (MLB app). I would be outside my comfort zone watching the dubs, though. I am only a bandwagon fan for them.

A week ago, I had no worries about this team's hitting. None. Nada. Zilch.

However, there are some pesky worry seeds planted in my mind....

Even when they were hitting, they weren't hitting in the manner this team was built to hit. This is supposed to be a rally-team, not a bombing team.

 

[calsnowskier]

There we go. Now that is what we were expecting from this team...

Just now got a chance to check in here. Read the posts, expected a 5-1 deficit and then checked the actual score. Close game so far.

Yeah, but the line has not been moving lately. They will come around. Duffy is not a sub-.200 hitter. He's hit at every level. Posey is in a small slump right now.

Still, I thought I wouldn't have to worry this season, as in past seasons.

Just a sac fly, Span. Do something to earn your contract.

It's NOT 5-1?!? What game are you watching?

 

[calsnowskier]

Bradley won't make it out of the third.

 

[Stokes1931]

Looks like Iggy is going to be Steph Curry tonight. 3-3 from 3's in the first quarter.

 

[Stokes1931]

Bradley won't make it out of the third.

I don't care when he leaves, only that he leaves with about a six run deficit.

 

[calsnowskier]

Bottom of the order has delivered. Now it is the top's turn...

 

[calsnowskier]

Catchers interferance

That's the can of worms MLB opened when they installed replay. Why can't you review that? Shame.

 

[calsnowskier]

What? Not reviewable?

Why have review if you can't review that?

 

[calsnowskier]

Makes no sense that that is not reviewable. It is a dead ball.

 

[SFGRTB]

Come on guys. You would rather watch playoff hockey or playoff basketball than a mid-April baseball game against the Diamondbacks?

Where are your priorities?

I was eating dinner.

I'm actually watching the Giants game of all things lol. Expecting the Dubs game to be a blow-out, but I'll pay attention to the score and if it's a close one, I'll switch over. Sharks? I'll tune in on commercials.

 

[SFGRTB]

I don't even know the exact rules, but if they can review anything that's a "dead ball", they ruled it foul, so they should review that.

 

[SFGRTB]

This just occurred to me, why in the NBA playoffs and NHL playoffs do teams get to watch their home announcers, but in MLB we are stuck with Joe Buck?

I spent the day hiking in Yosemite with my daughter, who is about to go to grad school. What a lovely day! Lots of water! And it was free! (All week, admission to National Parks is free.)
