Bales still out. Probably good for him to get a rest.

If Ramos hits a slammer he will be my new favorite Giant

 

[Sandisfan]

Chapman is a decent hitter but with strikeouts..But the guy needs to stop watching the old McGeehee hitting Video tape cause that will get you Double Plays.

 

[Stokes1931]

Bases loaded and no outs.

Walk scores a run

And then......NOTHING?!?

It is the way. The Giants way.

McCray is pressing

 

[tzill]

Forto's AB with the bases loaded was atrocious. Chapman was phuking awful as well.

Ray is balling; going to be a solid #2 next year.

 

[sf1giantfan]

Fitz is pressing

 

[tzill]

McCray's approach was bad; Fitz wasn't good; LWJ was bad.

This team man...no bueno.

Also not good.

Do we lead the league in hitting into double plays?

Chapman may be related to McGehee. Yikes! Two GIDP tonight.

Meanwhile, Giants are 2-11 with 9 LOBm but lead 4-1

 

[Stokes1931]

Last year, Chapman GiDP only 4 times in 581 plate appearances for the Blue Jays.

This year, he has GIDP 10 times in 533 plate appearances.

I don't know if tonight's 2 GIDP are included in those stats.

 

[Stokes1931]

For context, Manny Machado has grounded out 25 times in 495 plate appearances.

The Padres have GIDP 112 times, the Yankees 107 times. The Orioles only 59 times.

The Giants "only" 90 times.

 

[Stokes1931]

Had 'em all the way.

 

[msgkings322]

FYWW!

Creamsicle magic

Also playing the White Sox magic

Chapman was just phuking TERRIBLE tonight.

 

[msgkings322]

As I said before the series they probably aren’t making the playoffs but if they don’t sweep this team they for sure aren’t

 

[tzill]

The pitching was amazing tonight. Very tzill approved.

The hitters did draw 7 BB...that's good
They also K'd 9 times...that's bad

If we could schedule the ChiSox another 30 times this year, we'd be in good shape.
