Game Thread: 8/18 Mutts @ Bum Day

Holy shit.

Absolutely amazing.

Not only did he hit that thing a ton, it was an impressive as hell AB.

Fell behind 0-2 and battled his ass off there.

Can't believe that Bumgarner put himself in that spot to give up the GS in the first place. At least they can't blow another 4+ run lead tonight. That loss to Baltimore on Sunday has done a lot of damage.

Bum has 14 career HRs, 1 shy of the Giants record.

Multiply that by 5 (at least) and it's like a position player with 70, or 10 per year

Kontos up, Bochy not going to make the same mistake as yesterday

PBF!!

Bum is more than a 10-HR bat, though. Not sure he would be able to get 500 ABs because of his OBP, but you also have to think his bat would IMPROVE with regular ABs.

Nunez has actually settled in and performed quite nicely if late...

His D isn't quite Duffy level, or thin-Panda level, but is is adequate.

Still seems like he starts every AB with an 0-2 count

Really he's only played 6 years (1/2 of 2010, 1/2-ish of 2016) so 11.5 per year give or take

2 out rally.....we used to have these all the time....

 

[calsnowskier]

It doesn't feel like Pense is having a .770 OPS season. It just seems a lot more quiet than that.

So did Jeff Kent. IMHO anyway.....and my potentially faulty memory.

See?

Before he got hurt he was raking

 

[calsnowskier]

Arguably the top 2 pitchers in the NL this year, and we have a 6-4 game in the 5th.

That's baseball...

 

[msgkings322]

DeGrom is all kinds of fucked up. YES!!!

 

[SFGRTB]

This is like a reverse microcosm of our entire season.

Just warning you...

You may get banned tonight...

So why is Collins leaving his Ace in there to get destroyed? He is missing his spots all over the place.

Collins just got the "vote of confidence" by Alderson today. Looks like Terry may not be around much longer.
