Oxy still out; Joey Baseball on DL; Shark in and hitting 2, EA in and (hitting??) 8.

Markakis owns Peavy; Seaweed owns Miller.

(no prediction). We lose this one, and shit could easily go completely off the rails. Gotta rally after last night. NO MOUNDSHATTERY.

Peavy CANNOT see the mound in the 7th inning if the game is within 2 runs (either way). If he is throwing a no-no and the Giants are up 2-0, the bully takes the hill in the 7th.

That simple.

 

[calsnowskier]

Blanco is a different player this player.

He has never been a star, but he has been such a solid Giants during his stay here. GREAT dumpster-dive by Sabes on that one.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Agreed. As long as Blanco keeps in mind that he is not a slugger, he is very valuable.

 

[SFGRTB]

Absolutely perfect throw. Runner had a great jump too.

 

[tzill]

26 pitches from Miller thru 2. And thus far, no moundshattery.

 

[tzill]

Peaved on pace to go 6.

 

[calsnowskier]

Peaved on pace to go 6.

If he had only thrown 5 pitches total so far, he should still be on pace to go 6.

This is Jake Peavy, after all.

 

[tzill]

11 consecutive weak ass ABs now...

 

[BroncoInCALI]

So, is it written law that Jake Peavy must go 3-2 to 75% of the batters he faces?

 

[tzill]

Peavy on pace to go 5.1 innings.

 

[tzill]

Miller on pace to pitch into the 8th...

 

[tzill]

13 futile attempts come to an end when EA doubles....

 

[tzill]

....and Peavy FPOM

 

[tzill]

Miller looking like he may pitch into the 9th....jeebus.

 

[calsnowskier]

....and Peavy FPOM

Peavy is a pitcher, not knwn for his bat.

Relax

jeebus

 

[SFGRTB]

At this point, IDK if I'd send Peavy out for the 6th.

He's looked great so far, as usual the first 80-90 pitches. But he's got the 2-3-4 coming up, sitting at 88 pitches.

Then again, the Giants emptied their Pen last night. Tough call. Boch will send him out though.

Interesting Peavy stat on the tube : AVG and SLG of batters 1st, 2nd, and 3rd time thru the order. Bad news is that the 3rd time thru, AVG is over .450 and SLG is well over .800. Ouch.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Hopefully we can scratch across a couple runs for him here.....a little safety net would make that call easier.

3rd time coming around now.
