Game Thread: 8/3 Champs @ Chops

[msgkings322]

This game has been against the odds so far...

Kontos has allowed an inherited runner to score (his third in about a week, BTW) and Strickland has given up a HR.

More of a regression to the mean

I'm hoping its more of get it out of their systems so that they can get back to being awesome.

Great...a Strickbomb...

Cain is dealing with a new arm. While I am not "excited" by what I have seen from him, I think there is room for him to grow NEXT SEASON.

At this point, he is the #5, by a decent margin.

Yeah, but that's not what he used to be. I get that change happens, but considering where this rotation was a few years ago, its sad to see what happened to it. It was inevitable, but this soon? I had hoped for a couple more years of production from both. Lincecum has been, by far, the most disappointing in how soon and how quickly his production dropped.

Damn, after Craw's 2nd homer I thought this game was done.

We need good Romo tonight.

 

[ColinCoby]

Nasty slider. 2 outs.

How many 30 year old gymnasts do you see competing at a world-class level?

Timmeh's delivery required a gymnasts flexibility, and that naturally goes away with age.

Guess you could say I thought he defied the odds when the experts questioned the durability of his delivery. I tend to forget the uniqueness of it.

Romo!!

Good to see Romo pitching better in his last 8 outings.

 

[ColinCoby]

Maxwell "hit completely away from how they were playing him" because the pitch was completely away from the target.

 

[SFGRTB]

2-out thunder.

 

[ColinCoby]

Huge run. Time to get greedy.

 

[Mays-Fan]

A-OK-I

I didn't realize there were so many Giant fans in the south.

My comment was said with 20/20 hindsight. 5 years ago, I was projecting him as a HOFer who would still be at the top of the rotation this year as well.

Has there been a game this season where there HASN'T been a huge section of Giants fans?
