Game Thread: 8/8 Giants vs. Cubs

[tzill]

Cain on pace to get pulled mid-5th. 32% chance of winning.

 

[LHG]

Is it just me or is Cain getting Cained by the umpire on some of those pitches?

 

[msgkings322]

I had hoped Cain was settling in. Yeah, not so much. No command and quite hittable so far.

Another reason they won't sign a big name pitching FA....other than Bum have they EVER gotten a good deal with one of those?

 

[Stokes1931]

Is Cain even a good enough #5?

Not right now.

A fly ball pitcher at Wrigley?

 

[LHG]

Thank you Kyle Hendricks! Now, can you give us a few more gifts at the top of the 4th?

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Just brutal to watch one of my favorite Giants of all time regress like this....Cain just doesn't seem to have that ability to dig deep and make a few nasty pitches to get out of trouble anymore.

 

[Stokes1931]

Wow. A 2-5-3 DP

PBF indeed.

This is going to have to be a Coors Field Special today.

It is so weird seeing our starting pitching pretty much suck after Bum and Moses and Peavy.

Cain on pace to be pulled in the 6th; Hendricks to pitch into the 7th. 36% chance of winning.

And Moses is showing signs of mean reversion

 

[Stokes1931]

So impressed that Crawford is going the other way with outside pitches. He used to (and still does from time to time) try and pull them. Nice RBI double.

 

[tzill]

Hendricks still on pace to pitch into 7th...48% chance of winning after Craw's double.

 

[Stokes1931]

Oxy

Last 7 games - .160

Last 15 games - .200

Last 30 games - .231

aaaannnnd the moundshattery continues. fucking pull him now.

 

[Stokes1931]

If we want to win this game, Cain needs to come out. Now.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

No, that was not me in the orange Peyton Manning jersey, sitting with the Giants fans......lol

How many more games does Cain get? He has a disaster every time out.

Assuming he does get pulled (HUGE assumption) who takes his slot? Timmeh? Vogey? Stratton? Blach? Blackburn?

No one takes his spot. Odd numbered year.

Same thing with Pagan. I just don't think they have a major urgency to win at all costs this year. So the vets get plenty of rope.

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Well, I wouldn't say he made nasty pitches......but he did get out of that jam.

Go Giants!

Yes. Yes it is.

Cain on pace to give us two more outs. 50% chance now.
