Game Thread: 6/26 Cubs at Birdsong

[Stokes1931]

Runner on base, of course, Soler K’s.

(sigh)

 

[Stokes1931]

Conforto and VR back to back.

3-1 Giants.

need a shut down inning from Birdie.

Has anyone mentioned yet that vogel means bird in German?

Vogelsong/Birdsong

 

[msgkings322]

He looks pretty good so far, not overmatched

Delivered

 

[Stokes1931]

Left him in too long. Hadn’t thrown more than 70 pitches all year, and his 97th pitch of the night finds the seats. Dang it.

 

[sf1giantfan]

Chapman didn’t strike out?

 

[msgkings322]

GREAT double play there

 

[msgkings322]

NICE

For once the other team makes the baserunning mistake

 

[msgkings322]

This game has a 2010 home game vibe

 

[sf1giantfan]

I don’t like when it is this close in the 9th inning when he is pitching.

What a difference a year makes. Last year was one of the best closing performances I've ever seen, he was ridiculous

The talent is there, he's young, I still love the kid.

So LFG Doval, leadoff single 2010 BWeezy torture protocol engaged

 

[msgkings322]

Flithy slider for the K

 

[msgkings322]

What rhymes with scorcher?!?

FYWW that's what.

Nice win...4 game sweeps are rare but this team at home vs bums like the Cubs can certainly do it

three in a row with me in Wyoming (the Tetons).

maybe I should stay a while longer?

 

[msgkings322]

Nice pen work, even Jackson did good

 

[tzill]

A couple of observations:

Bailey/Soler/Tyro: 0-9 1BB 5K
Team with 12Ks, 1BB
Matos 2-3 now hitting .253
Birdsong looks legit. Let's see how he does in ATL
Nice bounce back from Jax.
FYWW 4.1 IP 3H 1BB 2K

Hicks tomorrow for a dreaded day game. Babe Casali in the lineup.

 

[msgkings322]

Vogelsong II had a nice debut. Too many pitches probably but had good stuff, made 4 pitches work effectively, 5 Ks. Maybe will be a useful kid.

 

[stanford the manford]

maybe we have enough lively arms in the minors who can kick back a start or two on adrenalin .... ? gap strategy until starters come off the I/L

Kudos to son of Fidrych... bring back the Bird!

I have notified the Wyoming National Guard. They are aware you may be trying to escape, and they will be on the look out.
