Game Thread: 8/8 Giants vs. Cubs

Oops, bad posting technique

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.

I'm fine with not mortgaging their future and going all-in, but each year is a new story and the Giants are in it this year. I trust the FO to make whatever the right deal is, but I think they might at least look around.

Nice to see the offense decide to do something - a little too late. Oh Casilla, what has happened to you? Maybe the Giants can call up his brother and see if he does better.

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

Outstanding.

At least they are consistent. So, Peavy 4 IP 3 ER tomorrow?

 

[SFGRTB]

Maybe Casilla needs to go to the DL, there was actual talk that he wasn't right recently. The Giants should give Broadway an actual chance. That guy is nasty, and has done more than enough to earn it.

Inherited runners

Yesterday- 4 inherited, 4 scored

Today- 3 inherited, 3 scored

It is the job of the starters not to put so many on base

But it is the relievers' job not to allow the inherited runners to score.

We have really sucked at this lately. And starters going 4 innings is NOT going to cut it.

Streaky, streaky team.

If the offense puts up 12 runs, sure.

 

[LHG]

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

No FO, don't think about it. He looks different when he plays against other teams.

Cubs had 17 runners on base today.

If it had not been for their GIDP pitcher hitting 8th, this could have been a lot worse.

And Cain put 13 of those runner on, in 4 innings. Yikes!

Good news, after a stressful 9th inning, Pittsburgh beats LA.

Still just three games back!
