Game Thread: 8/14 Braves @ Another Manfredball Loss (6:45 pm)

[Stokes1931]

Ray starting for the Giants.

Preliminary lineups show McCray hitting 9th and playing LF

 

[Stokes1931]

Forget Manfredball. That would be a treat after this awful beginning.

6-1 in the 3rd

Perhaps it was unwise to count on a guy who hadn't pitched in 18 months to be good/durable.

Fitz with a leadoff homer.

Everyone else is thinking about the off-season already.

 

[Stokes1931]

2 outs, no one on.

Single

Bases loaded

Time to get back some runs?

Nope. RISP awfulness continues.

Chappy FPOM. Didn't even try and work the count.

 

[Stokes1931]

Braves bases loaded: homer

Giants bases loaded: out

That's the ballgame.

I’m getting the sinking feeling the Giants just suck.

I’m getting the sinking feeling the Giants just suck.

Now 9-1

Just pathetic.

Giants 1-4 are 6-14 but with only 1 run
Giants 5-9 are 0-10

I would hope they score at least a couple of runs, just to show they can do it. But my hope level is not high about that.

Can't pitch
Can't hit
Can't field
Can't run
Can't manage
Can't make the wildcard

Might as well just enjoy watching the kids.

 

[Stokes1931]

Walk (hope rises)
Fly out (hope wavers)
Yaz GIDP (hope expires)

We can't even move a runner along, much less drive one in!

Can we confirm the Giants lead the league in being pathetic

1) Ray is 100% opting in.

2) Can we stop talking about playoffs?

I think we can also stop talking about the Giants having a chance keeping Snell. We don’t give him enough run support to even consider staying with us.

 

[sf1giantfan]

Just over heard McCray in the a giants dugout: “It is harder to get a hit in the majors, especially when you are on a team that doesn’t know how to hit”

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants needed to take 2 of 4 from the Braves, hoping for 3 of 4, a wild idea of a sweep.

After two abysmal failures to score in well pitched games, the Giants have now lost a laugher to the Braves, making it three in a row.

Every team has a bad game once in a while, but this was beyond bad.

I think some of us got caught up in the excitement of the Rockies’ series and the debut of Ray plus Snell’s dominant run and forgot what kind of season this team is having

I saw a slim opening prior to this series. After last night that door was slammed shut

They FO needs to identify a direction and evaluate players that fit.

And then others still think that “so your saying there’s a chance” means you take out a second mortgage and head to your local bookie.
