Say what you will about the offense, we've had some bad luck lately vs teams' best SPs.

Just faced the White Sox only 2 good pitchers (played the Sox 4 games, faced Sale twice...), now we face the Phillies only good pitcher

Can we please have the "road" Bum show up tonight?

First: single, K, gidp

Second: single, fly out, pop out, ground out, all on 9 pitches.

 

[1phlapdown]

Bum gets a knock.

and left stranded

 

[1phlapdown]

Hey, we're in business, 1st and 3rd no out.

edit, and the FORCE is back 3-0

 

[1phlapdown]

Hamels w/6 pitch inning bottom5 3-1

 

[1phlapdown]

Bum finally has a quick inning, 100 thru 6.

 

[msgkings322]

Got the road Bumgarner tonight!

And look how different we play with Pagan....

 

[msgkings322]

Man I jinxed the hell outta this one!

 

[msgkings322]

First shitty bullpen night in many many weeks....but it's shitty.

 

[msgkings322]

Very hard to take when the pen let's us down...

Javy didn't hit that guy at all...but no excuses, just a bad team blown save....

Well, the hitting wasn't great, either. Blanco with a stupid decision to break from 3rd. Panda thrown out by a mile at home. Pagan caught stealing at 3rd. Crawford with the terrible bunt. Blanco with the popup bunt, which he didn't run out, even though the Phils dropped it.

Yeah, lots of blame to spread around tonight for sure, but JA was the main culprit.

 

[Stokes1931]

Another loss of the opening game of a series. Another loss at home, in spite of Bum's great pitching. Dogs losing, and we won't pick up any ground. Bleh.

Good to see Morse go yard, though. What's that, 2nd HR since the ASB?

 

[Stokes1931]

Panik has two hits with a runner on 2b, and neither have scored.

 

[Stokes1931]

Pence showing surprising patience to leadoff the 10th. (Not enough, evidently.)

Giants tied for the MLB lead in runs scored in extra innings.

 

[Stokes1931]

Carp. No milk today. Terrible lousy game. Had such promise for a good while, too.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants now 25-42 when getting two walks or less.

38-16 when getting 3 or more.

Do we preach patience? Hell no.

 

[1phlapdown]

Damn, I lie down and nod off and wake to this mess.
