Game Thread: 9/24 The Quest for .500: Horrible Unies vs Beautiful Unies

[jeep99tj]

We can't lose anymore if we want a .500 or better record...

And we do, right?

The only win I really want to see is Sunday. Bochy’s send off with Bum on the bump and against the Dodgers.

Mr Fucking Posey!!

 

[jeep99tj]

Mr Fucking Bum!

 

[LHG]

good... i'm going to the game tonight ... nice to see the 'a' team.

Hopefully, you witness a "W" for Mad Bum.

 

[LHG]

But yeah, that is about as “A” as this org can muster right now. I wouldn't even swap Dugger and Pillar. Dugger’s stock took a dive this year

He definitely did not put his best foot forward in his chance to shine. What puzzled me the most, though, was his lack of stolen base attempts. I know Bochy isn't a fan of the running game but Pillar has taken a lot more chances than Duggar did. Is Pillar faster? A smarter baserunner? Both?

 

[LHG]

Our "A" lineup looks about as capable against a collection of mediocre relievers as the Rockies "B" lineup is against Bumgarner . . . and that is not positive for either our lineup or Bumgarner.

They want to get him the record. He is currently tied with Cainer for most wins at the Cove.

Well, if he kept the ball in the park, he might have had a chance. Oracle is a really tough place to hit. Say the Rox, who now have four homers on the game.

They must be playing the top half of the innings in Colorado and the bottom half in SF. Yeah, that's it.

Mr Fucking Longo!

Longo go long! Another 20 homer Giant.

He cannot he cut fast enough. 0-23

Belt was running off the field there like a 55 yo former athlete. Running gingerly with a semi-hidden limp.

 

[LHG]

Down to Solano and 4 starting pitchers on the bench and 3 relievers in the bullpen.

@calsnowskier walks out to the GDT thread starter's "mound".
"Alright kid, I think we need to bring in a new GDT starter. Good start to your posting career here @pachyderm ."
Takes mouse from poster and motions to the forum bullpen. @Stokes1931 comes jogging out to start a new GDT. cal hands him the mouse.
"Alright vet, I need some loss suppression here or I'll be forced to bring in @tzill but I'm afraid he's already pooped in the bullpen."

Good start?

GOOD START???

He balked on his first pitch! It isn’t even possible to balk without a runner on base, but he found a way.

I Farhan his ass!!!

I seem to have summoned AC (Angry Cal). Would it make things worse if I mentioned this was his 4th "start" of the season?
