Oxy back in; EA moves up to 7 while Hacktor gives MVP a blow.

No Chubb has ever faced Hesto; Oxy and Herk with Hammel ownage.

Chubb those chubbing chubs....6-3 good guys.

I can't wait for Susac to get back. He allows the lineup to be so much longer when the backup catcher is in.

Whereas you will NEVER find me disagreeing about the 'Sac, I think Hacktor is a very capable hitter for a bench player.

Leake scratched tomorrow; Tron in. Left hamstring.

Beltranny redux?

Hopefully not, but this is mildly disappointing.

According to that graphic, hitters are batting .000 off of Hammel's curveball.

 

[tzill]

Very nice top of the first. Lots of pitches, some nice contact.

 

[SFGRTB]

Looks like the wind is playing a factor, despite what Jon is saying.

 

[SFGRTB]

Why isn't Rizzo hitting 3rd?

 

[SFGRTB]

Heston is really struggling with command. Luckily, most of it isn't elevated.

 

[calsnowskier]

Right now, Heston wouldn't need a life vest on a boat.

 

[SFGRTB]

Well, this is not good. With it being a bullpen game tomorrow, this is a terrible way to start this game.

 

[calsnowskier]

Hmmmm...

Well, that was less than good.

 

[tzill]

Heston on pace to get 7 outs. 25% chance to win.

This was our best opportunity to win a game in Chicago.

WAS.

 

[calsnowskier]

Only two runs. This team can get 2 runs in it's sleep.

Now, will it remain 2 runs? And what does this potentially mean for the bully moving forward?

Like I said, less than good. But it is more than disastrous...

 

[calsnowskier]

This is just one of those games.

So far no luck going in the Giants direction.

Sometimes, you just have those game. Heston is having one now.

The problem too is that it just lulls the defense/offense to sleep.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Heston has not looked good throwing to Sanchez the last two starts.....

 

[SFGRTB]

Yikes.

 

[calsnowskier]

Ok, offense. You have to carry this game now. No crawling into your shells.
