Game Thread: 9/25 Who Cares @ Who Cares

From the Gyrko AB last night that triggered the stare down...



I just watched the Giants broadcast of the stare down and I did not notice that West called time on his own as Bum was getting ready to pitch.

What a fucking dick. This is nothing new. Everyone knows the guy is a grade A doosh. But to fuck with a pitcher while he is pitching is near criminal.

The sooner we get robot umps, the better!

Badly played by Mac, but it was still tatoo'd.

Leake is no more than a 3.

Mac with his first big league hit.

Too bad De Aza couldn't capitalize on the chance with a runner in scoring position.

Has De Aza even driven in a run for the Giants? What a terrible pickup. But with all the injuries, I guess they needed someone to roam around out there. But as a leadoff hitter?

 

[Stokes1931]

Leake keeps putting leadoff hitters on base. Tough way to earn a living as a pitcher.

Edit: Nice job to get out of it unscathed.

 

[Stokes1931]

KT 2-22 in the last bunch of games. With 10 K's. Hasn't had an RBI in two weeks.

Come on, kid, finish strong.

Doesn't help when the umpire takes the bat out of his hands.

 

[Stokes1931]

So far, Crawford has seen 2 pitches and made three outs tonight. Maybe he will take a pitch this at bat?

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey with two hits. Singles. We gotta find a better way to keep his bat fresh next season.

 

[Stokes1931]

Doesn't help when the umpire takes the bat out of his hands.

"Gimme the bat, kid."

"Who, me?!?"

"Yeah, you. Now stand in there and strike out like a man."

"But sir, I need my bat."

"Are you asking to be run? 'Cause I am this close to running you."

(sigh) "Well, OK....."

 

[Stokes1931]

Byrd hasn't driven in a run since.....yesterday. Come on, man, time to step up and deliver.

 

[Stokes1931]

0-whatever

Manfred considers Rose reinstatement

The Commish just gave BoB a huge dose of hope.

Leake's ERA is getting rather . . . . leaky.

I am really hoping that something is physically wrong and he is pitching through some sort of injury. If this is the real Leake, can't have that. Can't sign him for big bucks nor long term.

As tzill has pointed out, this is a SSS. He's been a very reliable starter for his career. But this sure feels like Beltran 2.0, though there was much more hope heaped on CB. Has Leake even won a game since coming over from the Reds?

In case you wanted an answer, DeAza has 2 RBIs with the Giants. His OPS with the team is .751. His .367 OBP ranks 4th among all Giant hitters.

The real question is, has he won a game against the Dodgers yet? AIE AIE AIE

I say again, Parker has SERIOUS power! Wow!

 

[calsnowskier]

Holy shit!

Is this kid for real?
