[Stokes1931]

Top 5, 0-0

Giants 1-4 with RISP and no runs. How in Sam Hill does that happen?!?

tzill approved (so far)

It is a joy to watch two really good pitchers match up.

The Giants have really worked hard to be special in this department.

 

[Hangman]

We need to get a run

Yup. This team may actually need five singles just to get a run in. Four singles just isn't enough.

We might end up being part of the most strike outs in a game.

 

[maxrandomness]

Sale has been downright nasty tonite

 

[stanford the manford]

looks like this may come down to who gets pulled first, snelk or sale

20 combined K’s this game so far.

 

[Stokes1931]

We might end up being part of the most strike outs in a game.

1) 26 strikeouts in a game of any length. Number of occurrences: 4. New York Mets, August 23, 2019 (in a 14-inning game); Los Angeles Dodgers, June 2, 2017 (in a 12-inning game); Chicago Cubs, May 7, 2017 (in an 18-inning game); and California Angels, July 9, 1971 (in a 20-inning game).

2) Most strikeouts in a game of any length by both teams. 48 in an 18-inning game between the Cubs and Yankees on May 7, 2017

Ugh Snell is out

 

[Stokes1931]

Ugh Snell is out

He was out of gas.

RanRod in.

K's the first batter.

K's the second batter.

Still 0-0

 

[Stokes1931]

Both Giants and Braves are 1-4 with, well, you know, with no runs. I guess other teams can be as inept as the Giants at scoring runs.

 

[maxrandomness]

Nice work Rodriguez!

 

[sf1giantfan]

I’ll be ok if Lucy hits a home run.

Yup, giants should have stacked the lineup with all RHH’s…

We are getting close, at 28 K's between the teams now.

 

[sf1giantfan]

Pressure on the offense to score runs in the 9th since we are using our new closer.

Braves' offense has been horrible since Acuna went down.
