Game Thread: 6.5 The Return of Bum

[Hangman]

incompetent hitting when it mattered the most and it is going to cost the game.

 

[msgkings322]

Welp, good pitching again, but turrible hitting with RISP, over and over. Oh well, that's baseball.

 

[SFGRTB]

Marrero and Dyson (guys with OPS's at .461 and .600, respectively) getting on base is absolutely killer

 

[LHG]

Strickland definitely looking more wobbly since Melancon came back.

 

[Hangman]

well if the 1, 2 ,and 3 hitters do nothing we will always lose

Posey can make up for all his spilled juice tonight...

 

[SFGRTB]

Thanks Strickland and Posey

 

[calsnowskier]

Not a total make up, but it helps.

Now we got a base clogger at first with 2 outs.



Edit: Jax’s in to PR

Double ties it up.

Bomb walks it off.

 

[calsnowskier]

Single ties it.

Double walks it off.

 

[calsnowskier]

The new mound visit rules nullify the old rules about 2 visits in one inning, right?

 

[calsnowskier]

Just get on base...

 

[SFGRTB]

This one is on the everyday players. Terrible defense, terrible situational hitting

Bases loaded no outs, in a close game, you can't let that happen (3 Ks!)

 

[calsnowskier]

Infuriating game. How many times can you pour juice without quenching your thirst?

We had the bases loaded twice, and got nothing from those situations.

Yeah but the no outs one was really fucked up

Sooooooo, about this MM situation....

Yup. And both times Posey came up empty, though he was not alone, he IS our $20 million face of the franchise run producer, and he isn't producing runs. I will concede that he has picked up the pace of late. A month ago he was projecting to less than 50 RBI's for the season, now he is up to projecting mid-70's. Not good enough for as good a hitter as he is.

What, you got a problem with Strick walking a .200 hitter in the 9th on 5 pitches?
