Broke up the no-hitter.

Giants with the dreaded runner in stranded position.

Casali....nada.

McCray....whiff

Fitz...nada.

Consistently AWFUL.

Shocking that they did not score after the leadoff double.

Incredible rally to tie the game.

I assume that this is sarcasm.

Watching behind and haven’t read the thread yet…

Ramos hits a double, with a runner on 2nd, and doesn’t get an RBI.

Only this team. That is ridiculous.

1 walk

12 K's

Well, once again, our hopes rise after two close wins over an awful team, and then we can't hit or score and waste a good performance by our ace only to get steamrolled in the 9th by an awful team.

We suck.

 

[Stokes1931]

Miller and Bivens crap the mound in the 9th.

And Brebbia comes in to face his former mates. Odds that he will throw 8 pitches or less to this inept hitting team?

 

[Stokes1931]

Give up four runs in the 9th of a tie game

Bottom 9th, leadoff double. (Hope?)

Out

Go ahead runs driven in after count was 0-2 with 2 outs.

 

[shrksfn9192]

Solid series win, though, exploding for 11 runs in the three games while allowing 10.

Unserious team loses to worst team in baseball.

Phuking great.

To be fair, Canha had to hold up in case it was caught. It almost was

Well, that is (dis)heartening.

But when the team has shown a propensity to play station-to-station, I refuse to accept excuses.

Obviously there is a reason why a runner on second can’t score on a double. The fact that this team is able to execute that scenario is almost impressive.

What would it have hurt to keep Webb in for the 9th? 93 pitches and still looked strong. Let him start the 9th and pull in he loses control or the Sox start hitting him hard. I know I'm in the minority here, but I'd rather see a someone warmed up who has a handle on the game stay in than turn it over to a cold reliever.

OTOH beautiful day at the park and got to check of seeing the Sox in person.

I think most of us here are traditionalists and share this opinion. We just realize that the game is different than how it was when we were kids.

Well my small chance of playoffs hope is now zero chance. Need every one of these easy wins. They simply are not one of the 6 best teams in the NL

But there’s a lot to like and look forward to next year
