Game Thread: 6/29 GDT Cincinnati @ SF Hudson River of Dreams

I'd put Perez in center, just to send a message to Blanco to get his chit together. What a nightmare he has become.

You're right. Bochy should send him a message that he needs to get his head out of his ass, and he's not owed the leadoff spot just because Pagan is out.

fuck a 7 pitch innning!

fuck a 7 pitch innning!

Sandoval gets an ice cream sandwich for seeing five of those pitches

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants being no-nit on 62 pitches through six innings. Nice patience, fellas. Nice work, Bam Bam. Excellent way to screw up our one chance to score, Blanco.

 

[1phlapdown]

We're gettin' a hit this inning, right?

Please God, let there be MILK

 

[Stokes1931]

Only one walk today. Only 10 walks in the last 8 games. Inconceivable that this is actually a major league team right now.

 

[Stokes1931]

We're gettin' a hit this inning, right?

Why not? Blanco can single to center, and then get picked off first.

 

[Stokes1931]

Through 6 innings, Bailey has faced, well, let's see now, 18 batters.

Maybe this is how Timmy sees the Padres? Bailey sees the Giants, and with his 5.something ERA says, "Hey, it's the Giants. I can no-hit these clowns. Only need to watch out for Posey."

 

[Stokes1931]

And Blanco with the FPOM.

He really, really, really wants that bus ticket to Fresno, doesn't he? What a disaster as a leadoff hitter!

 

[Stokes1931]

Meanwhile, your soon to be first place Dodgers are up 3-0 on the Cards, who will come in on Tuesday to sweep us after getting rolled against the Dogs.

 

[Stokes1931]

At least HerK saw 9 pitches before striking out. Some sort of moral victory there. I guess.

 

[1phlapdown]

Herk w/the epic at bat…to strike out

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Does Bochy realize you don't have to have the center fielder hit leadoff?

 

[1phlapdown]

We got a fuckin' HIT!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

We're gettin' a hit this inning, right?

Please God, let there be MILK

Nicely done, phlap. Can you get us a run now?

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

I say we at least let Hudson try and go for Complete Game

 

[Stokes1931]

Does Bochy realize you don't have to have the center fielder hit leadoff?

Blanco now at .087 when hitting leadoff in the 1st inning. Why Bochy keeps running out the same old lineup is beyond me.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants haven't had a multi-run homer since June 14. Not many since then, either, but they've all been solo shots. Be nice to see Panda go yard here.

 

[Stokes1931]

Panda! Two hits in a row means, oh, crap. That means RISP. We're doomed!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Ok, Morse ends his BRI streak here with a three-run shot
