Honest question…

Will Kruk retire after this year? Being in the chair now has got to make it hard, even if he only does home games now (he does some road games from the studio).

 

[Stokes1931]

Single
walk
LWJ K’s on three pitches

A chance with RISP. No problem got this. UGH before posting another LOB with RISP and before posting again another LOB with RISP!

 

[maxrandomness]

man I’d have liked to see Melvin send the kid and have Ramos take a few pitches
got to try a few different things

 

[Sandisfan]

The A's might not even need to shower after this game.

 

[Sandisfan]

Another chance with RISP.
An out but runner moved up to third. So another chance with RISP

 

[Stokes1931]

With RISP

Giants are 24th in average (.233)
Giants are 27th in OPS (.661)

With RISP and 2 outs

Giants are 24th in average (.216)
Giants are 25th in OPS (.633)

I will try and chart this later.

In 2014 the Giants were 7th (.267)

Usually the Giants are middle of the pack or lower.

With RISP

Giants are 24th in average (.233)

With RISP and 2 outs

Giants are 24th in average (.216)
Giants are 25th in OPS (.633)

This is seriously bad

The Royals are hitting .303 with RISP (best)
The White Sox are hitting .213 with RISP (worst)

How often do the Giants hit .300. with RISP in a game LOL

Love that McCrays speed
hope he stays up

Yes think of all the Ofers he could add to RISPs LOB! Well actually taking extra bases would be good anyway.

Two in just one Inning. Possibly Three.

 

[tzill]

This phuking team is just phuking AWFUL at hitting.

 

[maxrandomness]

come on Ramos!

 

[tzill]

Pathetic.

 

[maxrandomness]

Wonder if Brandon Belt is in game shape?

 

[tzill]

no more GDT for this team.

 

[maxrandomness]

no more GDT for this team.

Don’t stop
the white Sox are coming up soon

 

[Sandisfan]

That speed created an O-fer Three with RISP.

New Mascot for the Giants Marvin the Robot from Hitchhikers Guide. Depressed robot so when good things occasionally do happen he is there to Dampen the enthusiasm.
