You want legendary offense suckitude, check out the White Sox this year. They are scoring just under 3 runs a game, they've scored 186 runs this year. Next lowest is 227. Giants have 273 before tonight

Wow!

I was at their stadium last summer. The day before was a rainout so the game I went to was a make up double header. One ticket got me into both games. And I doubt there were 10,000 at the ballpark.

I guess you can't pitch a shutout every time

They are in a really tough spot this year. Worst they've ever been, on pace for like 40 wins

They should be dealing what little they have though, Luis Robert would be great here and under team control next year too. I wonder if Luciano + Matos + a pitching prospect would get it done

 

[Brightboat]

Can’t throw away those scoring opportunities. It comes back to bite you

 

[Brightboat]

I have the advantage of not being a crusty old Boomer like you. He's turning 87 in August but his father lived to 95 and he's pretty healthy so I think I get a fair amount more years with him.

Hope so

 

[msgkings322]

Wisely, swing the bat already

 

[msgkings322]

Ramos needs to step up here

 

[msgkings322]

Scalded it but fielded well

His stats are way down, has he been injured?

Yes missed a ton of time this year but he's their only true all star level player

Looks like his only great year was last year with 38 bombs. Is he legit, or was last year an outlier?

 

[Sandisfan]

That was vintage Kuip to Kruk My wife would like elbow knee pads and kuip was Your wife would want them with kruk and his chair LOLOLOL I think Kruk, and hope he thought that was funny.

Bases loaded for Soler.

Good chance to get a monkey off his back.

If not, it could grow into a King Kong sized beast.

edit: the beast grows. Four pitches, three strikes and a foul. K.

Seems to me that AB set up the whole shitshow. You just KNEW Spider was going to give up runs in the bottom of the inning after that abomination of an AB.

I'm really starting to wonder what they do with Soler.

More to hitting than bombs. He's legit. His career OPS is .824 and OPS+ is 124. Our park might hurt some but those stats would make him the best hitter on our team. Last year was his first with over 500 PAs. He's also just under 27 years old.

Main risk: has missed significant time 3 out of the 5 years of his career. We are not a team that can avoid taking risks.

LOL, that's....not how baseball works (except in pantshitting hindsight)

He's hitting .264 with no one on base (23-87)

He's hitting .174 with runners on base (18-103)

edit: Conforto homers. Soler comes up with no one on base and boom, single.

 

[msgkings322]

BOOM STICK TIME

 

[msgkings322]

Conforto being out was a problem, just like Wade being out is. Lee is a bummer but he wasn't hitting that great.

Get Wade back and things start to get interesting.

Soler is a problem

 

[Brightboat]

Good to have Conforto back

 

[msgkings322]

Setting up for Doval to have his first save situation since his epic moundshit
