Game Thread: 8/8 Giants vs. Cubs

[Stokes1931]

And Kontos continues his reversal of fortune with inherited runners. Wonderful.

Matty Blyleven's ERA soars to 5.60

Affeldt's is over 6.00

 

[BroncoInCALI]

Disappointing.....Kontos got up 0-2 on Montero. Would have been nice to put him away.

Can Hendricks hit more often for the Cubs?

 

[calsnowskier]

These are the 2014 numbers for Heston, but your point is that he was in AAA for two seasons is correct. Stratton needs some more seasoning. He began the season in AA Richmond, and did quite well. But the Coast league is a tougher place to pitch.

I think AA Eastern League is a place to show you can hit. AAA PCL is a place you can show you can pitch.

Slightly disagree.

Eastern league is where you show you can play. PCL is where you wait to be called up and refine your competitive skills.

This series, Giants have allowed 6 of 8 baserunners to score.

Two problems.

1) Too many baserunners to begin with by the starters

2) Relievers not coming to the rescue as they have all season

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants/Cubs were 3-3 in the 4th

Dogs/Bucs were 4-4 in the 3rd

Carry on.

I'd say the Cubs are both out hitting and out pitching us. Here's to Tommy Hunter coming in soon.

 

[Stokes1931]

Now the 1-4 is 1-14 today!

 

[LHG]

Okay Belt, time for another knock.

 

[LHG]

 

[Stokes1931]

I take back what I said earlier about Craw learning to go the other way with the pitch.

 

[LHG]

Okay, I'm checking out for a bit. Got stuff to do around the house. Get us the win guys.

Thurs: 4 IP 5 ER
Fri: 4 IP 3 ER

Disagree on 2. This is all on the starters. The pen is doing what they can. First and 3rd no outs, the guy on 3rd is gonna score.

If Pagan plays tomorrow, I am skipping the game.....

 

[calsnowskier]

I am not watching, but I am listening to Flem.

He is done with Pagan. He said after the error that he is simply not doing anything well right now.

 

[SFGRTB]

Well, this blows. Might the Giants kick the tires on some starting pitchers?

Just wanted to check in a get my daily Pagan-bash over with. Do the right thing, Boch. Starting tomorrow,

 

[SFGRTB]

Oh and Fowler has made his career earnings thanks to the Giants. The guy is just always on base against us.

 

[Stokes1931]

KCYa has been atrocious lately.

Ugh.

5-3 we had a chance.

8-3? I think not.

I hope not. As LHG posted in the Offseason thread, not much to go after, and I don't want to give up anything (of value) to get one. There's just not the urgency to win this year, probably correctly so. Some of the things they hoped would work just didn't. This happens.
