[calsnowskier]

Have I mentioned ed what a great game this is?

 

[RamsFan88]

Jesus Belt...

 

[calsnowskier]

The Giants finally realive that the pads are trying to give away this game, and only Goner is actually able do anything about it.

Pathetic series. Looks now like it's going to be a bad road trip, just have to keep it from becoming a disaster of a trip.

Mean reversion is a bitch

Cal must be stuck in traffic, or maybe he stopped at one of the downtown bars. I feel for you Cal. We've all been to really bad games. So I'll post the pic:



On the positive side:

Still BRIB.

FYWW did a mediocre job.

CG did a great job.

Consider this almost no-no payback for Timmeh's.

DBacks eeked one out for us.

I understand the team had been playing over their heads, but really, the Padres, against that staff?

It's always something. I don't need to tell you, the best teams lose to the worst all the time during the regular season. They got swept by shitty teams in 2010, 2012, and 2014 too

But its never fun in the moment.

What a rough game.

Jackson was HORRIBLE, but the Giants refused to just allow him to implode. At one point, he had only thrown something like 77 pitches through 5+ innings, while walking 17 and having 6 errors behind him (at least that is what it felt like).

When they did swing, it seemed like they were fouling the ball straight back. So they were timing him right, they just could square him up.

Jackson did not pitch well. Period. The Giants just could not get their heads out of their asses to actually do anything.

And what the fuck was that, Gregor? You CAN NOT let that happen!

Yesterday was one of the strangest games I've seen a while (if ever). I missed it on Blanco. What happened?

He ran in on a bloop hit between 1B and RF and dove for it. He missed it and the ball went to the wall for a triple. No run scored as a result, but it was just bad risk/reward.

That just adds to the strange-ness of that game.

I don't know where else to post this but I thought others may find it useful. I stumbled upon Game Notes while clicking on Scores for the next day and it gives any and all statistical minutia about the Giants or any other team.

Just a sample:

RARE LOSS: Since 1974, there have 15 occurences
of a walk-off loss via a balk and none of the
instances have been of a Giant balking home the winning run in a walk-off... the last ML team to win a game on a walk-off balk was the Dodgers on June 18, 2015 against the Rangers, as Keone Kela committed the game-winning balk in the bottom of the ninth inning of that game. (STATS, LLC).

BLOWN SAVES: The Giants’ bullpen has blown 18 save opportunities this season, which are the most in the Majors...SF's pen has blown seven of their last 11 save opportunities and posted a 5.23 ERA (25er, 43.0ip) in their last 14 games.

LATE INNING POWER: C Buster Posey's home run in the tenth inning last night marked the 114th homer of his career, but his first in extra innings...Posey entered the game with the fifth-most career home runs among active players who had never hit one after the ninth inning, behind Mike Trout (157), Rickie Weeks (155), Shin-Soo Choo (146) and Bully Butler (144) (Elias).


Sorry if this is already common knowledge.

I'm about to check out. This game is awful. Cueto started well and that pitch count skyrocketed the last couple of innings.

It seems JC had been under the weather since the AS Game, and even had some side pain for this game.

PLEASE no oblique injury.

Yeah we need so much bullpen help. Prepare to be sad when we trade Mac, Parker, Adrianza, Beede, and Bickford (at least 2-3 of those)
