I like Phillips. He has so much fun out there.

That was cool. Genuine good guy.

 

[SFGRTB]

That girl was driving a hard bargain for that ball. She got a bat, a ball, a picture and a HUG.

Adrianza showing glimpses. If he can even hit a lick, he's valuable with his glove.

Looks like he's ironed some things out.

Yup.

This is why I was advocating for him getting more PT this year moving forward. He has a ceiling. He just needs to get on the right track to get there.

 

[SFGRTB]

Ugh. Broadway.

Gave up 2 baserunners ahead in the count both times.

Strick! Showing last night was an anomaly! Nice pitching.

 

[SFGRTB]

It's game 7 out there.

It's game 7 out there.

It's dumping! Yay!

Aaaaand...rain stopped

 

[SFGRTB]

Not good. Casilla hanging pitches with Bruce, Votto, Phillips and Frazier coming up.

And Billy Hamilton is on the bases.

Was about to ask if Bochy's going to live and die on Casilla and then I saw Affeldt and Kontos head to the bullpen.

 

[Stokes1931]

The Reds will not die willingly.

 

[SFGRTB]

Why in the world did the Reds even hesitate on asking for a replay? Lol

 

[Stokes1931]

That works!

Probably just for show. This is Casilla's, unless he blows the lead.

 

[1phlapdown]

Just another tortuous game.

 

[SFGRTB]

Good game, fun series. Giants are playing better ball this homestand, but too little, too late.

Good sign though. KT is proving that he is a starting-caliber 2B and EA is realizing that the big wood in his hand is not just for AM entertainment.

The rotation is proving to be a problem, and maybe there will be some big trades in the off season.

Tyson Ross?

As enjoyable as the power is from the pitchers, I'd rather have them pitch better and win more games.

This.....so much this.
