Game Thread: 7.24 Bucs @ Gas

I have to think he's the first man off the team whenever they find another arm

Like I said, he "may" have a role on the team, but right now, he can only do clean innings.

Yeah he's got a role...mop up duty

 

[Stokes1931]

I mean, it's great news he is working again

Yessir! I am sure it helps Kuip to be back in the booth, too. Solid medicine.

11 K's

1 walk

Ruf could make it a game here with an EWS.

(edit) 12 K's

Not sure what Kap sees in Brebbia. He might, "might", be OK with a clean inning. But he has been a disaster with inherited runners. He has inherited six runners so far, and they have all scored. THEY. HAVE. ALL. SCORED.

So yeah, keep putting him in there with runners on.

Gasman was not good tonight, but he deserved better than the six runs charged to him.

I know Brebbia is recovering from Tommy John surgery and all, but is this really the right position for him?

It wasn't the right position for Beede and the org rightfully saw that after one appearance. They are being more stubborn with Brebbia. Purchase either Wolff or Hildenberger's contract, option Brebbia and dfa or 60 day IL someone.

I have not read the thread. I am still about 45 mins behind.

First…. WB KUIP!! I wasn’t expecting that. That is awesome!

Seocnd…

K&K keep saying they don’t understand why the fans aren’t into the game.

BECAUSE SWINGING FOR THE FENCES EVERY FUCKING OITCH IS BORING ASSED BASEBALL!! It very well make Anne lyric sense to play that way. I get it. But it is not entertaining.

Seeing Stratton pitching reminds me that the Pirates released Kyle Crick today. I'm a bit surprised they let him go. There was no harm, with this team, by keeping him on the roster. He wasn't that bad (compared to the rest of their pitching).

Interesting. Wonder if FZ has interest. His walk rate is atrocious, but the Giants' staff seems be able to work on fixing issues.

Littell's performance tonight is starting to make me think tzill may be right about him.

Good question. He was drafted by the previous regime. I don't know if that would deter FZ from picking him up.

Tauchman's first pitching appearance not off to a good start. Maybe Kapler will rave about his warmup work and talk about how confident he is on the mound during post game.

 

[LHG]

If only Tauchman could pitch to himself. He'd be able to both raise his batting average AND lower his ERA.

 

[LHG]

I will give Tauchman this, he did better tonight than Littell.

 

[calsnowskier]

I couldn’t stomach that Littell inning. I FF’d right to the end and missed the Talk pitching.

The way the team is playing right now, FFing was the right play regardless.

They are looking like a team playing their AAA roster these last couple days.

[tzill]

Then maybe pipe down and stop shitting on the team. You take it so personally.

Maybe; maybe not. I’ll do me.

Remember: Shittell, Menez, and Brebbia are the same guy.
