Your 2017 Giants, making scrub pitchers look like studs since early April.

Another QS from Sammy, with no BB nonetheless, thru 6 with another inning possible, but down 2-0. Batters 1 thru 4 are 0-10 with no BB as I type

What was Flem getting all pissy about on that replay reversal? It was close, granted, but he looked out to me.

I did not see it live, though, and have only seen the Pirates feed. They had a pretty clear shot of Sammy being out...

Meh. Walks are overrated.

Pence leads off the 7th with a walk!

And what did 10 walks get the buccos yesterday? A heapin plate of nada.

 

[Stokes1931]

2nd and 3rd, no outs.

 

[1phlapdown]

SAX FULL no outs.

edit: Slater:

edit: And Gs fight back!

 

[calsnowskier]

They are impersonating a complete team now.

Rosenthal should get the Willie Mac award this year.

 

[calsnowskier]

Who is up in the pen?

 

[calsnowskier]

It is official. Dyson is closer-B.

Is it a coincidence that since Stokes asked the question "Have we hit bottom yet?" the Gs have yet to lose????

Tomlinson has been solid as a PH. Big SF today coming off of the bench.

Just trying to help the ball club. Play them one game at a time.

Number of wins needed to have 63 wins, and avoid losing 100.

The thing is, last year when they went from best team in the game to worst, I said they were never as good as they were in the first half, nor as bad as they were in the 2nd. In the end they were a wild card team, which was their correct position.

We are not the worst team in baseball even though up to now our record said otherwise. There's a reversion to the mean happening.

If we play .600 ball the rest of the way we will only end up near .500 so no we aren't making the playoffs. But finishing with 75-78 wins seems pretty doable to me.

Hopefully, they won't come close to losing 100. Hope to never see a repeat of 1985. Heck, maybe this team can avoid losing 90. This winning streak has been refreshing to watch.

I'd be content with seeing the kids get a good amount of playing time, a healthy Bum, and Cueto traded for value.
