cf - Span
1b - Belt
c - Posey
rf - Pence
3b - Nunez
2b - Panik
lf - Pagan
ss - Adrianza
sp - Bumgarner

Interesting. Pagan struggles and is replaced in the two hole by Belt (who is also struggling). Span struggles and gets to stay at leadoff.

And the Giants have a 6-1 lead in the 5th. All the power coming from Bumgarner, with 2 doubles in 2 at-bats so far.

Phils trying to hang on in 9th.

Kershaw looks to be back in form, throwing 1 hitter so far.

Bumgarner is NOT looking in form. Only four baserunners and them of them have scored on two longballs.

Mets go down...

Even Bumgarner stinks this half of the season. I thought for sure that a 6-1 lead would be safe with him. I labeled the wrong team Murderer's Row.

3 DINGERS!!

3 DINGERS!!

And we are being shut down by the venerable Carlos Villanueva. He of the (until tonight) 6+ ERA.

I would normally be upset with the bullpen blowing another lead but Bumgarner gets a LOT of blame for killing a 5 run lead.

Same results, different method. I tune in to see how creative their loss will be each day.

Noggin cannot win this year.

He takes Bum out too soon, and the bullpen blows it.

He leaves Bum in with a 3 run lead in the 6th, and he gives up his 3rd homer.

Bum with the only XBH the Giants have.

Rookies have 3 HR against reputedly one of the top 5 pitchers in the NL in a ballpark that is hard to hit HR's in.

And Panik has almost as many RBI for the season as Posey in spite of playing in 20 fewer games.

That. Is. Awful.

Fire Bam Bam!

Tonight, I am more bummed about Cal than about the Giants. The Giants' get to play a few more days. Cal's dad's season is over.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants' offense gets six runs in the first four innings.

Giants' offense gets one hit in the next four innings.

0-2016 when trailing late in the game. No comeback victories after the 8th inning. Lots of come from ahead losses.

Once again, speechless.

That is just soooo sad. :crying:

Pads score in 4 straight innings...


edit.... and Strick breaks the streak!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Next season, they HAVE to get Posey more days off.

From Baggs-

Bochy said he wasn’t acknowledging Belt’s on-base percentage as much as trying to shake up a lineup that has scored 12 runs over its last seven games, and is averaging a full run less in the second half than the 4.71 per game that it averaged prior to the All-Star break.

“I’m just trying to shake this up and get out of this rut,” Bochy said.

Dude, that's no rut. It's a canyon.

I know a way to shake up the lineup, benching all the regulars - for the rest of the season.

I see the Rockies are giving the Dodgers a run for their money toni . . . er, nevermind. They are actually playing like a last place team.

 

[calsnowskier]

Disgusting.

That is all.
