Game Thread: 8/3/18 Stratton @ Corbin

Hi five for Blach!!

 

[1phlapdown]

ok, Fecal fiesta. Get 'em tomorrow.

On another note: I'm off to Japan and Nassau for the next two weeks, but I'll check in periodically. Hope we can climb into it.

Have fun in funky Nassau.

I am seriously starting to worry about innings this year. We got no one I need Sacto worth calling up...

Bum is pitching like a 5/6 IP pitcher
DRod looks to be good for 6/7 IP
Suarez is good for 6
Stratton looks like a 4 IP guy
Blach should a 5/6 guy
Sammy has not demonstrated jack shit this year.

Herb and Anderson will likely be shut down at the end of their team’s seasons, so they are not likely contributors. Kelly has had flashes, but still not put together a very good year. Camarena may get a shot, but he hasn’t done anything to actually earn it.

Herb has been out most of the year, so he could be someone they go with, simply to eat innings. His numbers, though, are ugly. Camarena has faded badly the past month. Anderson, yeah, I agree with you all, he'll be shut down after the minor league season. Kelly is a veteran, but his numbers aren't that good either. Considering the options in Sacramento, he's the best starting pitcher they have right now. Except maybe Jordan Johnson. But I think the Giants treat him much like Anderson. Gomez hasn't started at all this season (someone else brought him up).

Could Stratton actually bear down and allow the Giants bats to get back in this thing??

I assume that, because the offense has scored a couple of runs, Bochy decided to not let Stratton, who began to pitch better (@tzill, there you go), continue after 80 something pitches.

High five for Blach again.

He couldn't get anyone out in the 4th

I left and came back to only see the boxscore. Thanks for that update.

Melancon comes in, and true to form, gives up a leadoff single ON THE FIRST PITCH.

 

[Stokes1931]

Well, there you go. Just working on his GIDP pitch.

 

[Stokes1931]

And, no walks from these slap happy hitters. (No XBH, either.)

 

[Stokes1931]

to Blach and Moronta, who stranded 5 runners and allowed none to score.

 

[1phlapdown]

Has mm turned a corner?

The bullpen has been amazing tonight. Too bad the offense cannot continue to chip away at the lead.

 

[1phlapdown]

Dogs losing

 

[LHG]

Well, this game could have been a lot worse, but an L is an L.

But that win streak was nice.

 

[LHG]

But that win streak was nice.

Yes it was.

 

[msgkings322]

Weaklinks gotta weakly link.

Yeah scoring only 3 runs isn't gonna do it
Pretty sick of our weaklink bats

 

[msgkings322]

#weaklink has to link weakly.

He keeps trying and no one bites
Sad.

 

[1phlapdown]

Strat now throwing BP. Make him eat the innings, we won't score enough runs tonight anyway.

BP was a good description. A cursory look finds he has the two worst starts of the year
