Giants 6th blown save of the season.

that's a pretty small number isn't it?

 

[calsnowskier]

EA HAS to back that up.

He was way too nonchalant there...

 

[SFGRTB]

EA has got to be backing that throw up. He was just ball-watching there.

 

[msgkings322]

Getting a reliever at the deadline suddenly sounds like it would have been a much better idea.

At what cost? Blown saves bring out the in all of us, but there is a long term process still.

Still SSS but I've seen nothing that tells me Ay Ray is a legit major leaguer

I know. It's one of the worst feelings. It's one of the worst jobs.

What about the offense?

On a positive note, meat of the order coming up.

It isn't like this is the first time we have called for Strick to be the closer. KCYa is a good reliever, but he is average at best as a closer and Strick looks like he could be closer to the top of the heap.

At least with Pablo gone it's not the fat of the order

Oh he'll be the closer, I just doubt this year.

What's with the two out home runs from the Braves today? Don't they know its the Giants who are supposed to be do

Did any of us?

That's why the quotation marks.

 

[msgkings322]

Free baseball!

 

[LHG]

Yeah, we say that, right this second....plenty of time left in the season. Also plenty more losses coming in August, some will be shitty bullpens

Casilla hasn't exactly been lights out this year. I think its worth looking into Strickland as closer, at least for 2016.

The phrase "wasted" comes to mind.

Garcia gets in on the fecal fiesta.

How about "savior"?

 

[SFGRTB]

The phrase "wasted" comes to mind.

There's been some opportunities (particularly the leadoff double, then single and coming away with nothing). But I won't complain about putting 7 runs on the board.

 

[calsnowskier]

The DP ball has been a problem for this offense the last week of so.
