Serious question...

The Giants are not a slow team. We are not a fast team either, but outside of Posey, we have decent baseball speed.

So why do we play such station-to-station ball? I just don't get it, and can't explain it.

I guess they just don't like hit and runs and steals, it's a philosophy

Is Greek not coming in so his streak is protected? This is one of those baseball moves where ego plays too big a role. This is the type of situation where we need Greek to do his thing, even if we know his streak would end.

Big win if they can get outta this inning giving up just 1 run

A pretty fair point but it's only the 5th, and no outs. Might need him later. Then again, that's what Yost thought in game 4

OK there's the one. Now a DP and we're good

Biggie has always done much better beginning with a clean inning rather than with inherited runners.

And Greek has been nailz out of the stretch.

Just sayin'...

I guess so. If the runner is never going, he never has a good jump. Goes hand-in-hand.

 

[calsnowskier]

Looks like Biggie is settling down now. If he can get out of this with just the one run, well done, sir!

Standard 1-6-3 putout...

Biggie handled that really damn well

 

[Stokes1931]

Biggie limits the damage of THud's crappy inning by only allowing the one run. Much better than I expected, though, like Cal, I was hoping for Greek, even though it was early.

In Sacto, Nik Turley threw 6 no hit innings (2 walks), and 99 pitches and is now out of the game.

"Any more questions, Mr. Snowski?"

Wasn't pretty, but it was effective.

Nice eloquent answer, Mr. Bochy, sir...

I gotcha covered...

Station to station please...

 

[calsnowskier]

Station to station please...

Going aggressive with the #8 hitter up is the right play. As much as it sucks when it doesn't work...
