Some Bad Baseball Facts:

— The Giants have been shut out three times in five games for the first time since June 6-10, 2007.

— The Giants are 5-18 since June 9, the worst record in the Majors. They’ve lost 11 games to the Dodgers over the span.

— The Giants have scored two-runs-or-fewer eight times in the last 11 games.

Having said all that, I have a sneaking suspicion they’re going to hammer Odrisamer Despaigne today. Just a hunch. And if I’m wrong, I’ll come back here like a good, standup reporter and delete this whole post. Happy Saturday, everyone!

I'm with tzill, a 6-1 game is looming.

tzill's not with you, he's thrown in thr towel on the team, even though we'd be hosting the wild card game if the season ended now.

And he lets us all know this in every thread. Bush league. Nolanesque. Did not expect it from him.

I was referring to the predicted score. Early in the year, tzill predicted a Giants' win almost every game, and had them scoring 6 runs. Sorry for being so vague.

I know exactly what you meant, but apparently tzill is out of the predicting Giants wins business. He's moved to a different kind of prediction.

Dogs losing 8-2 in the 6th



Rox handing it right back.

Now 8-5 Rox with no outs in the 7th for the Dogs.

No Ballz no glory. Seize the day. Here we go....All in.

Picks to click...Just get it done.

Go Giants !!

 

[Stokes1931]

Beautiful. Two on, no outs.

Line into a double play (on the 2nd pitch)

Caught stealing.

 

[Stokes1931]

Is Panda hurt? Why is Arias now hitting 4th and playing 3B?

Dogs losing 8-2 in the 6th

Now 8-5 Rox with no outs in the 7th for the Dogs.

Dogs lose, 8-7

Let's pick up some ground.

Blanco...big power

 

[Stokes1931]

LOL!

Morse, a HR hitter, can't do anything except ground out lately, grounds out.

Blanco, who SHOULD be hitting everything on the ground and using his speed, hits a HR.

Go figure.

 

[Stokes1931]

Looks like we won't get shutout for the 4th time in six games after all.

CRAAAAP. Blanco's delusion of being a power hitter is going to grow

I was thinking the same thing.

When I played baseball in high school (I was TERRIBLE), our third baseman ran into a pitch early in the season and hit a towering home run over some trees in left field. It was not really his game. He went hitless the rest of the season, because he was convinced he was now a homerun hitter.

LOL. MLB.com described the 3rd pitch on the walk to Pence as a 69mph "Eephus".

If Barry Zito threw that, it would be called a "slider".

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Now 8-62 with RISP

 

[Stokes1931]

Bases loaded for Arias, who flies out to center.

 

[Stokes1931]

Now 8-62 with RISP

You counting Blanco? Whenever he is at the plate, now, that's scoring position for him.
