9/2 Suarez @ Molester

[tzill]

They just look lifeless.

that's always what is said when a team is not hitting.

Oddly, never said when the team isn't pitching.

Hey Osich! Throw strikes! (4 pitch walk to the first batter he faces)

Of course, Russell is a dangerous hitter, and was hitting .130 in his last 7 games so he was due. Nice way to pitch the bases loaded.

 

[LHG]

0-3 with RISP

Not a lot to work with today, but our situational hitting is atrocious.

Nice pitching for the most part by Suarez.

Suarez throws 88 pitches in 5 innings

Lester throws 83 pitches through 8 innings.

Is it any wonder the Cubs are the best hitting team in the league? Patience. Power. Situational hitting.

Noggin: "Well, we just need to get it rolling there. We faced a tough pitcher today." Same song, 47th verse or whatever. Bleah!

We are so out of sync. Good pitch, no hit. Good hit, no pitch. At least the fielding has been constantly good all season.

The Cubs have had a lot more opportunities than us today, yet the score is 2 to 1.

 

[Stokes1931]

PBF!

Last chance to score some runs.

This game is giving tzill a boner

Or constipation.

Bonstipation?

According to MLB Gameday, Lester still throwing 94 in the 9th. Of course, with the Giants' bats flailing, he hasn't had to work too hard today.

 

[Stokes1931]

Herk walks. (Nice way to work the count)

Up to Crawford.

 

[Stokes1931]

Team is already making golf plans for October.

Oddly, never said when the team isn't pitching.

When a team isn't hitting, they lacklusterly walk back to dugout. When a team isn't pitching, the defense is running all over the yard.

Damn. C'mon Pads. That's what we're reduced to. Cheering for the dog's opp.

On the plus side, good 'pen work. I'm kind of glad I didn't have to trudge thru this one, watching futile at bats.

 

[1phlapdown]

Pads take the lead.

Hector up with 2 on...


edit not to be, still 2-1 SD.

4-2 Pads in the 9th

Hoping for no meltdown like in Colorado a few days ago.

Seems like since the Giants can't take care of their own business, our best hope lies with whoever is playing the Dodgers.

 

[Stokes1931]

Pads hold on to win 4-2

Dodgers with 13 hits, and only 2 runs



Thank you, Sandy Eggo!

I think every team the Giants are battling with for a playoff spot lost tonight, so coulda been worse

Tolbert and Lund provided this disgusting little tid-bit this afternoon...

The Braves have had 2 winning streaks of 3 or more since the break.

All other teams have had at least 3 such streaks.

The Giants have not had any. In fact, they have only had back-back wins 4 times.

This is epic-fall-level shit, here, guys. This is making 2014 look like a championship year (oh wait...).

How in the hell is this team doing this? It is soooo unexplainable, it is beyond words. It just makes no sense.

Not that I blame the coaches, but you have to think there will be a mini-shake-up after this season (unless they pull off another October Surprise, of course). I think it is a good idea to shake things up a bit, though, from time to time. They have not had any real fresh blood in the coaching ranks since 2009. I expect Sir Bam Bam and Kelly to be shown the door this off season. Decker probably keeps his assistant hitting coach title, but also takes over at 3B. I think they look outside the org for a new hitting coach.

Hey Cal I don't blame you for passing on the pic. That might be a gesture reserved for the leaders anyway. Still, there is the WC race tho and we have taken advantage of that before...

I thought about it last night, I was just too disgusted to actually do the pic..

(Wow, no action pics of Nen with his number!!)
