And the first three Giants' hitters get on base, and come up with zero runs. Shocking.

 

[Stokes1931]

Panik gets on, one out. Three pitches later, there are three outs.

slater needed to sit a few games ago... these 1-3 games are knocking his average below the double mendoza line

Well, it is Coors Field. Hard to mount an offense in Denver...

 

[Stokes1931]

Hill and his powerful .153 veteran batting average can go home as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather see Arroyo or Jones up. If they posted those numbers, at least they are building something. Hill has look pathetic at the plate, which can be said for most Giant hitters this season, the last two days notwithstanding.

 

[calsnowskier]

It really is confusing as to why Hill is still around. No matter what he does from here on out, he will not fetch anything in a trade, so what is the point? Kelby should be the UTIL 1 at this point, and bring up Jones, Arroyo or Heathcott to get some cuppo-time.

Same deal with Gonor at this point.

short of a completely depleted roster and absolutely zero minor league prospects, there is no reason to play hill

at least we've seen gonor have some clutch hits... maybe pinch hit once and a while while cycling the youngbloods through. but hill, no

And Gonor has some Giants cache (same with Morse). Hill is just a hired gun.

These uniforms are eye-gougingly bad.

when did electric blue come into the rockies color scheme... bad enough padres, d'backs bailed on their original colors - this is just weird

I think it is an MLB Father's Day Weekend thing. All the other games have similar uni's today.

just noticed giants piping is blue... father's day? mlb has gone off the rails

 

[Stokes1931]

G: 1-7, 10 LOB

R: 6-12, 11 LOB

Hmmm, which team is winning?

Clutch hitting is such the #weaklink with this team.

Indeed

MLB special-event uniforms for 2017

Words continue to fail about how bad this team is.

The Rox are for real, though. They can hit, field, and pitch, and are not going away as they have in previous seasons.

The Giants are not going away, either. They have already left.

 

[calsnowskier]

If the Rox make the playoffs, I think I will be rooting for them.

If they win, it will be yet another NL West team to win the Series since the last time the dogs even made an appearance.

I think they really feel like "trying to win" still, hoping they go 10-2 somehow. Just not in their DNA to give up so soon, even though it's the obvious move

Thanks. I think.
