Thank You Sir Lopez

After giving up the lead (to a tie) the Giants come back with a 7 pitch inning.

Nice patience, fellas. Well done.

 

[Stokes1931]

Segura is fast!

He hits the ball on the ground, and uses his speed.

Why don't Towers and Blanco do that? Blanco has excellent speed, though you'd never know it, because he keeps trying to hit home runs.

 

[Stokes1931]

KCYa gets out of it. (Whew)

Time for some friggin' runs.

Giants in terrible shape. They have a RISP.

I approve of this post!

With a team having trouble scoring, I just cannot understand why Noggin refuses the sac bunt.

Panda and BB9 open the 2nd with singles.

Kiesch flies out

Blanco K's (natch)

Le Grope grounds out

Yeah, I get that if Kiesch sac bunts the runners to 2nd and 3rd, they may not pitch to Blanco. If not, then Le Grope is up with the bases loaded. He could walk into one. There could be a wild pitch. They could squeeze. Even if he does anything but GIDP, we have Moped up with the bases loaded.

Ongoing frustration.

Nice to have a 1-0 lead, on a gift from the Brewers.

I completely disagree in this situation, Stokesie.

Of the three, the only real hitter of the 3 is RK. You want to sac the only hitter of 3?

Blanco is hitting worse than a pitcher right now and le Grope is one of the worst hitting pitchers in the game. I think you have to take your chances with RK in that situation.

 

[calsnowskier]

Holy shit.

Did that really just happen?

 

[1phlapdown]

Frenchy!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Frenchy drives in a run.

Bases still loaded, one out.

Blanco fouls out on the first pitch he sees.

I really like Blanco, but he is just terrible right now, and needs to sit. Or a certain hitting coach needs to help him. This is pathetic.

 

[calsnowskier]

This is certainly not shark-week

This is some serious Bad News Bears shit...

Well, at least try something. The same old same old, waiting for the Earl Weaver Special is certainly not working. I realize there is little difference between having a runner at 2nd and a runner at 3rd, but there are more opportunities to score with a runner on 3rd. So tired of seeing how absolutely inept these players are.

I thought we were playing ourselves there for a second.

Don't get me wrong. In general I agree.

But in THAT situation, you do not sac RK.

 

[Stokes1931]

A 4-1 lead in the 9th.

1-13 with RISP.

And that beat goes on.

 

[Stokes1931]

Post-ASB, Giants are hitting .213 with RISP. (.258 before ASB)

Team ERA post-ASB is 3.58 (It was 4.45 before ASB)

Trouble is, we are scoring 2.77 runs per game
