Game Thread: 5/17 Sacramento @ Roupp

[Stokes1931]

Bottom 5, 0-0

Roupp pitching better than his last outing.

Roupp is legit I have no problem with him. It’s Hicks that probably needs to go back to the pen

@tzill type game but I think he avoids posting on the Sabbath

Since we are all his alts, what are we doing here?

Brutal

Hicks bulked up over the offseason to try to boost his stamina ahead of his second season as a starter this year, but he ended up struggling to a 6.55 ERA over his first nine starts, the highest mark among qualified starters in the Majors.

Some of the advanced metrics tell a much different story -- Hicks’ 3.48 FIP and 3.75 xERA suggest he’s been extremely unlucky -- but the Giants felt it was time to make a change and give Birdsong a chance to join Logan Webb, Justin Verlander, Robbie Ray and Landen Roupp in the starting rotation.

I like the strike-'em out--throw 'em out DP's when we do it, not so much when we are on the receiving end...

It’s a tough break but this is the big leagues you gotta perform or you get replaced

Walk the bases loaded to get to Barry Lamar Flores? Make 'em pay!

 

[filosofy29]

Tyler. Love ya, I mean it…but if they bunt to get to ya…don’t bunt against a dude that throws 110 mph.

 

[msgkings322]

Every pitch is 102-104 lol
