Game Thread: 5/23 Fraudres @ JC

[LHG]

What were they expecting trading a young pitcher for a bottom 30 1st baseman and a 30 year old reliever coming off a 7+ ERA?

Not sure, since they threw in a couple of minor leaguers in the deal.

Dodgers lead 1-0 so that game is probably over (with Kershaw)

The guy is making it routine: 7 innings--79 pitches.

 

[SFGRTB]

Good start.

Hasn't been for a complete lack of chances though.

 

[SFGRTB]

Brett Wallace actually turned a DP against the Dodgers this weekend, Kruk and Kuip.

Managerial quiz:

Hypothetically here in the 7th, if either Crawford or Blanco gets on, so that it's two on and two out, do you PH for Cueto?

If Pence can swing a bat, I definitely consider it.

Fuuuuuck. Looks like Boch is going to have to decide.

100% they walk Blanco.

 

[SFGRTB]

Alright Cueto, you got this.

 

[1phlapdown]

Maybe he'll do one of those running swings again

Ha, this has to be Pom's last.

Right decision here, IMHO. Cueto has lots left in the tank at 78 pitches through 7. Pomeranz at 110 already.

War of attrition versus their tired bullpen.

 

[Mays-Fan]

Meh, it's OK. The longer this goes, the better chance we have, IMO. I will be surprised if Pomeranz comes out for the 8th.

 

[SFGRTB]

Ouch. That's like where Pence got hit last year.

 

[tzill]

It didn't look that bad in real time...

 

[SFGRTB]

Great. Don't let this totally backfire

Well, we got Pomeranz out of the game.

Edit: GOT HEEEEEEM !!!

 

[tzill]

my pants are stinky....

 

[1phlapdown]

Called strike three


Ok here comes the 'pen

 

[SFGRTB]

Phew

 

[SFGRTB]

Top of the lineup. SD's bullpen in. Crowd is going. C'mon boys

 

[SFGRTB]

Wow. Can't get too mad at that.
