FINALLY a break for us

 

[calsnowskier]

A break going the Giants way?

In 2016??

Sideshow Hunter is a character...

I take 100% of the credit and none of the blame. I just got home, fired up the ol' cpu, checked into ESPN GameCast in time to follow Gonor and Cueto's ABs. You are welcome.

 

[LHG]

At least Arenado is kind enough to pay us back for all the RBIs we've given to him.

 

[calsnowskier]

I stand behind the opinion that player-for-player, this is still a championship-level team. They have just been gut punched so much these past two months that I am not they are capable of doing it this year.

BUT...

If they can get some mojo...

Well, where the HELL have you been for the last 70 games?!?

Just realized...

If the Giants get in the WC, without a 163, JC is our man.

He may not be our Ace, but he may be our best SP this year...

Man is it nice to have 2 legit Aces...

 

[SFGRTB]

I would have pinch-hit for Cueto there, but I'm really really glad it worked out!

 

[LHG]

Isn't that like shooting yourself in the foot while in a sprint?

 

[LHG]

I wasn't expecting Cueto to go 7 full. His pitch count was at least 70 after 4. Good for him for gutting it out and good for Bochy for not pulling him early.

That is what is so mind-boggling about this terrible run. We have 2 Aces, how do we lose at this clip? Well, we know how.

He looked great running around too. We'll need him

Hitters are in their own heads.

Bully is in their own heads.

I have to keep reminding myself that Belt has had a good season. He ranks 1st on the team in games played, doubles, home runs, total bases, walks (as well as strikeouts), on base percentage, slugging percentage (unless you count Gorkys Hernandez) and OPS. He is 2nd in runs scored, triples and RBIs. Interestingly, he has no stolen bases this year. He's usually good for 5 to 10 a year.

 

[tzill]

Why?

Well, I was thinking closure. However, that ain't how the 16 team rolls.

K&K, and our local media really don't give him enough credit either. I know you aren't local and don't watch our broadcasts, but you aren't alone. There is #BeltBash all over the radio every night, even though he's been our best hitter.
