Doval

You can NOT walk two guys in the bottom of the 9th ahead of a guy who can hit homers.

What the heck is going on with Doval?

Million dollar arm, ten cent head?

Nuke!

 

[Stokes1931]

Well, we now get to improve on our pathetic 2-13 performance with RISP.

If this goes to 2-16, we lose.

 

[Stokes1931]

Unbelievable, Doval. Just unbelievable. 3 runs on 2 walks and a dinger

Ruiz was hitting a robust .229 and was walked

Blankenhorn was hitting a whopping .150 and was walked

I can see walking Shohei, but these non-hitters? Unforgivable!

 

[Stokes1931]

Innings 1-8 both teams score 4 runs total

9th inning both teams score 6 runs total

Baseball is a funny game.

 

[Stokes1931]

Yikes


Edit: fixed the link. cal

Without this awful call, Canha might be 5-5 today...

And if so, the Giants would have won easily.

Looking at the Box Score is it true 27 LOB!!!!!!

It's too big an issue to hand wave away anymore. He's so talented but really struggling this year. Perhaps he's been figured out?

Doesn't matter much this year but next year I expect to try for the playoffs and not sure he can be the guy. Do we have someone better though?

The Horror Manfred ball so start with a runner on Base in scoring position.

Thanks to MitF****** by the Warshington Generals The Giants Score. Better not peter out with only one run with the bases packed.Crossed Fingers.

Edit: first out to get the Generals closer to out of it. UGH
Now two of the outs they need, odds are that's all they get UGH.

I think the Giants need 9 more runs to hold off the Nats

What could be worse that blowing games? Closing by committee couldn't hurt

If Conforto his a grand slam I’ll forgive him for being him.

Bloop does it got the extra runs needed hope it holds up in the bottom of the inning.

 

[stanford the manford]

Conforto comes through.

This big question, can we hold a lead?

 

[Sandisfan]

Is this possible getting a second hit with men on base? Is it legal by the rules for the Giants to do this?

Came up 5 short. Gonna be a nail-biter

 

[sf1giantfan]

Well Doval is not pitching now so that might help us out a bit.

 

[msgkings322]

He's blown 5 saves out of 27 tries, which is for sure not good but do we know a committee does better? Do those ever really work?

And who's got better stuff than him?

 

[stanford the manford]

well that was a good DAY of baseball

 

[Sandisfan]

WOW No Runs scored from the Manfred position. Nice work Trog.

 

[sf1giantfan]

Who knew watching Game Day at work not working could be so stressful
