Whew. Holy smokes. Gotta get some of those runs back, I have a feeling the 9th will be just as stressful.

 

[SFGRTB]

Nice snag, Craw!

 

[Stokes1931]

Smelling poopy in here.

 

[SFGRTB]

Casilla doing his best to impersonate Brian Wilson.

 

[SFGRTB]

That was a terrible pitch my fucking god

 

[Stokes1931]

One would think you could hold on to a 7-1 lead, right?

 

[LHG]

Never mind. That was just awful.

 

[SFGRTB]

Now we gotta face Britton

 

[Stokes1931]

At least the Pirates have a decent bullpen and may hold off the Dogs. What a disgraceful punch in the gut!

Giants 2016 - getting creative in losses. "Come watch us lose in ways you cannot imagine!" (TM)

 

[LHG]

Giants to Dodgers: "We DON'T want the division! You can have it."
Dodgers take a couple of steps forward and then stop: "Hmm, not sure about that. Where are the Rockies?"

 

[Stokes1931]

Cueto never should have started the 7th.

 

[Stokes1931]

DFA KCYa. I am tired of this nonsense. How many blown saves now?

Mercy.

Way to blow it by Casilla and the bullpen. Solid hanging curve to an aggressive hitter.

And some on this board advocate re-signing him this offseason.

I believe this is his 6th blown save.

When Casilla has blown them, it's been bad. But he's had a very good year overall. Granted, when comparing him to other high-leverage relievers (like Miller, Britton, Chapman, Jansen etc.), he doesn't quite match up. But he's been effective.

 

[SFGRTB]

Not a great day for all the relievers to suck though
