I like our chances here. We have a lot of historical success with Hamels in the lineup, and anecdotally, pitches don't tend to do well in the first game after a no-no.

Heston is a ground ball pitcher in a launching pad. As long as he avoids the hangers, he should do well.

And Posey getting the "rest" today so he can welcome Leake to the squad tomorrow.

Cordier is officially a former Giant.

He likely had an 8/1 out in his contract. That may have something to do with bed-shitting last night in Sacto.

When was the last time two pitchers who threw a no-hitter in the same year faced off in that year?

I'm starting to get poopy...

This series is just leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

That's what she said...

Some fielding issues by Pence the past two games

 

[tzill]

We are going to lose this game, and the series, and may get swept.

FUCK!!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Gotta bring the lumber tonight vs Hamels.

 

[msgkings322]

Is it August already?

Remember, we're not as good as our record since the ASB, and we're not as bad as we're gonna be this month.

Here comes the hackathon....

FUCK!!!!

Maybe we should have been sellers at the deadline.

 

[calsnowskier]

tz, seriously?

 

[tzill]

tz, seriously?

I feared this. And now my nightmare has become real. A shit start by Bum yesterday and an abortion first inning by Hesto today.

Odds we will outscore Hamels/Rangers by 3 the rest of the way? <15%

So yes, seriously.

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey was close to hitting that one out.

 

[calsnowskier]

Damn hackers. Can't get it out if the infield.

 

[SFGRTB]

Posey was close to hitting that one out.

Looked like he didn't square it up. I personally thought it looked and sounded like a pop-up
