another crap AB. Now we have to play, at best, Manfredball. Might just turn this one off.

Those guys give us trouble, evidently.

Apparently, so do guys with zero ERAs.

If this is any consolation, the talk for 2022 is that runners in extras won't start until the 11th or 12th innings.

cold comfort brother. Cold comfort

I won't really blame Harleeeeen here if we lose. When you gag out a 7-1 lead you kinda deserve the L.

that said, I do not enjoy watching Garcia pitch...

Impressive play by Garcia there. Manfredball time, and I'm out.

You guys have a good one.

Almost walked the guy with a .182 OPS. Fortunately, he got him out instead.

 

[LHG]

D-Backs walk Slater to set up DP on Duggar. Hope that backfires with the 2 fastest guys on the team.

 

[LHG]

Duggar punching it through! Nice 2 run lead (we'll probably need more, knowing the way this game has gone).

 

[LHG]

Interesting decision to bunt with 1 out and runners on the corners but it got a run across.

 

[LHG]

Flores, that was ball 3! Oh well, 3 run lead. Hope it sticks.

 

[LHG]

Look at that! J Garcia goes 2 full innings and shuts down the D-Backs without a strikeout. And the Giants win!

Sometimes you gotta outslug em. Who knew it was a hitters park in Arizona?

 

[msgkings322]

Man that Jackson experiment went south real real fast

 

[msgkings322]

I'm definitely enjoying watching a team that can score runs in bunches pretty well...this is a fairly new experience for Giants fans since the departure of Teh Lord

Problem is, FZ, in the playoffs the pitching matters more.

 

[pachyderm]

KB with a single? I thought he only hit home runs as a Giant. So disappointing...

2/8

1 HR
1 Single

50% of his hits are HR's.

Pay attention.

Especially the SP.

The Giants are solid, but they do tend to feast of teams weak bully arms. You don’t tend to see those guys in the playoffs. Like in the NBA playoffs, rotations tighten up in the MLB post season.

Meanwhile, the Giants only really have a few solid bully arms, and no shut down arms. Lots of chicken wire and bubblegum, though.
