Fundamental baseball? Is that a new invention?

Our bully is looking strong tonight. Please don't jinx me Strickland

Nice thinking, Colin.

We have talked about this in the past. It is time to ask again...

Why is this team SOOOO susceptible to these major down-swings?

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice pitching by Strick there.

But BEAUTIFUL baseball by the Reds. Just great baseball by the bad guys.

Whiteside's fault. No doubt about it.

Mr Slumperson with a HUGE night...

Yup, I'd like to see Noggin try some of that stuff, but of course, he never will. One of Noggin's great strengths is his handling of pitchers and his loyalty to his vets. It's also his weakness, trying to squeeze one more inning out of a poorly pitching Peavy tonight cost two runs. Same old lineup, same old strategies, even with a team-wide slump. Mac hitting pretty well on the roadie, so he sits him and has Parker at #3?

A couple of those hits on the roadie would have changed it completely.

 

[Stokes1931]

And Green with the FPOM.

He loves him his match ups...

The Giants are such polite hosts. Don't want to make your guests uncomfortable...

 

[calsnowskier]

I hate baseball

2.5 games up now

 

[calsnowskier]

5 runs at home HAS to be enough. This one falls squarely on PV.

I think if you looked at other teams you'd see that the Giants are not particularly prone to this, it happens to all the teams. The Cubs for example recently fell pretty quickly from playing .750 ball to playing .600 ball.

It just FEELS like it's a Giants thing because we watch them so closely we see and feel every slump.

Oh come on, your rational explanation is taking away all the fun of my emoting. Dammit.

I dunno, more like #weakteam right now. Nothing's working.

5 runs is enough to win. In fact, it should win 90% of the time at AT&T

Relief pitching went 4 IP, 1 ER.

I think #weaklink is weaklink.

I meant in general not just this game. Outside of a starter or two all facets have been lacking.
