Kimbrel pitches for the Padres

Really...Wow where have I been

They traded him...free agent?

Who is the Braves closer?

 

[Mays-Fan]

Lopez in now. A few batters too late Bochy.

 

[RamsFan88]

It's on everyone.

Bumgarner for running into too much trouble in the 7th.
Crawford for the error
Casillia for not recovering after the Crawford error (test of a closer) and the big hits
Aoki, Posey, Pence and Pagan for going 0-13

When you have a chance to end the game on a easy ground ball and you fuck it up, it's on you.

Yup. Traded him for Maybin and some prospects.


Grilli is their closer. 14-15 in save opps

 

[Band of Brothers]

Grilli Wow we might have a shot here.

Wins/losses aren't a player stat.

Doesn't take away from the fact that Crawford fucked up and possibly lost the game with his mistake.

He didn't cost this team the game alone.
Can't excuse Posey/Pence/Pagan/Aoki 0-fers or K-Cya giving up the HR, walk, single and triple or Bochy for leaving him in there for so long.

 

[Band of Brothers]

JOEY P Double ..

 

[calsnowskier]

Surprisingly, his .426 SLG% is near his .447 mark (AAA in '14), .402 mark (A+ in '12), .467 (Low-A in '11)

His BABIP (.329) is actually lower than career BABIP (.338)

Hard contact % this year is 24 percent versus 23.9% last season.

Biggest change is fly ball percentage. From 27% in 2014 to 39% this year


Still seeing plenty of fastballs. Figure some struggles will come when we see pitchers use changeup/slider/cutter against him

Look at the big brain on Matt...

Nice post.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Would love to see Buster up to win it

Game was over with that ground ball and he blew it. Plain and simple.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Giants lose 7-5

Giants split with Braves

Gut wrenching loss in the 9th

Where are my Tums.

Panik, Belt, and Craw all HR's

Good news Dodgers lose

Gotta strap it on for McCuthen and the Pirates

Go Giants !!

 

[calsnowskier]

If this were a playoff game, Lopez would have come in to face AJ.

Since it is a regular season game (AKA, "extended spring training"), KCya gets the extended opportunity.

When was the last time we lost a game on a clear, late-inning error? I can't remember one.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Simple minded thinking.

 

[RamsFan88]

Simple minded thinking.

No, I'm just not going to buy into the bs "we win as a team, we lose as a team" way of thinking, like you do.

 

[tzill]

No, I'm just not going to buy into the bs "we win as a team, we lose as a team" way of thinking, like you do.

Umm...wins and losses ARE a team stat. I get that you're upset, but really, these things happen. Great players make errors; excellent closers blow saves.

   Belt/Panik/Crawford went deep today. On June 15, 2009, Torres and Sandoval (2) connected off RHPs. Thought I'd have to go back to Bonds era.

   Just a fan at today's game (no rewriting!) but was curious so I looked it up. Today was 1st time in 6 years SF got 3 HRs from LHHs at home.
