Opposing pitchers completely lose their shit against the Giants, and still only give up 2 runs.

Giants pitchers look OK-to-decent and end up giving up 3+ runs and take the loss.

When does baseball become fun?

"It's gonna be Pence!!! Who slides, makes the catch, throws home, AND--THEY--GOT--HIM!!!"

I like that, Pence being one of my all time favorite players. I wish we had him.

He played like 15 games last year, and he was still able to make that play, which was possibly the move memorable of the whole year...

Goldeee v Strick nice at bat. Now isn't that fun baseball?

 

[calsnowskier]

I hate baseball.

Whelp...

How's everyone feeling about Gearrin now? Man, this teams sucks right now. I think I need to take a vacation from baseball.

 

[LHG]

Just tuned in (thankfully). What happened to Osich?

 

[calsnowskier]

It is almost like they are as distracted playing the game as I am trying to listen to it while at work.

I just dont get the sense that they are focused in any way, shape or form.

Maybe they are trying to sneak their way in the playoffs this year. You know, really work on being the underdog and all.

Osich plunked Peralta. and got yanked. I don't think there was an injury...

He pitched to Peralta and hit him. Caused a bench-clearing social, and he was taken out in favor of Gearrin.

Every button Noggin pushes seems to spring a trap door. I hate being swept at home by AZ.

 

[calsnowskier]

I actually just watched the highlight of the "brawl"...

Peralta was WAY out of the base-path. He should have been called out.

One "hole" in Noggin's game is his management of regular season games. He is soooo focused on the post-season, and being prepared for those games, that I think his laissez faire attitude seeps to the team.

I am 100% OK with this, BTW. His focus SHOULD be on getting the team ready for the post-season. But if there is a critique to be given, there it is.
