Game Thread: 7/8 Mess @ Champs

[SFGRTB]

Three consecutive batters just hit the ball hard...buzzard luck.

For a year, we have known Peavy to be very good for 6 innings, and then he falls apart. Beginning the 7th here is not different. A single by the .160 hitting 8th place hitter, followed by a single by the pitcher. 1st and 3rd and no outs.

2 nice plays from Duffman

 

[Stokes1931]

1-0 deficit almost too much

2-0 deficit too much

Seeing if the spirit of CC lives.

To be fair, it was not particularly hit that well from either guy. And he only limited it to 1 run.

Great pitching day from Peavy, it's the offense that needs to step up.

Stop with the FPOM already!>!?>

And the SPOM!!!

I will take this line score any time Peavy goes out. The point is he's a six inning guy, and after the sixth, the wheels begin to come off. And in close games like this, we can't afford to have any more runs scored. But I guess with the way the bullpen is pitching, Peavy going one more inning is probably just as well.

Peavy has been a star today. Not perfect, but an absolute stud.

The bats...

and that second run feels like game over.

Peaved got Cained

I think he looked pretty good there in the 7th. He wasn't getting crushed, still had his command.

 

[calsnowskier]

Game not over yet, but I agree, it does not look good.

However, Cain and Peavy have looked great since coming back. Once we get Aoki back, we will be one of the better teams in the NL, and I would not want to be the team that would have to face them in the playoffs.

If Blanco were on another team, would we be happy trading for him to start in center?

 

[SFGRTB]

Osich, who barely broke a sweat last night, in to pitch the 8th in a close one. Quickly earning Boch's trust.

I'd probably feel similarly in a trade for Parra. And I would like to trade for Parra.

FWIW, uncharted territory for deGrom. No CG's or shutouts (duh) in his career. Posey looming.

Another FPOM

Just stop it!

Always a first time for everything.

You'd really like to see the Giants work some counts and get into this Mets' bullpen. Instead, 8IP on 81 pitches on Monday, 8IP today and cruising.

deck chairs on the Titanic. We ain't scoring today gents.

That was a situation where Machi was way to concerned about the baserunner, and hung a forkball.
