Game Thread: 9.4 Playing out the string with the Rodominator

[tzill]

1. L Brinson (R) CF
2. W Flores (R) 2B
3. J Davis (R) DH
4. T Estrada (R) SS
5. L Wade Jr. (L) 1B
6. D Villar (R) 3B
7. A Wynns (R) C
8. B Johnson (S) RF
9. L Gonzalez (L) LF

Carlos Rodon
LHP
12-7, 3.03 ERA, 191 SO

After a rare moundshattery last outing, I'd expect the Rodominator to get 200 Ks and throw a great game. Also, Brinson in CF, Johnson in RF, and Villar at 3B.

Might be fun.

Nice to see Johnson get his first big league hit!

I didn't know that Rodon is close to breaking the record for most strikeouts in a season by a lefty for the Giants.

 

[tzill]

Rodon at 198 Ks through five scoreless.

3-0 good guys

 

[LHG]

Alex Young is looking like a good pickup in the churn. Relief pitching is about the only spot that the churn has had any kind of positive outcome.

 

[tzill]

6 clean and 201 Ks for Rodon.

Then, Brebbia happens. 3 run bomb and we are tied.

I would guess this is a result of overuse of Brebbia.

Maybe. Or maybe he's just not that good.

Doval with a nice ninth. Let's see if they can scrape a run across B9.

62 appearances does lead the majors. You're probably right.

Bryce with the leadoff walk. We got some action...

I still think he is one of the few guys from the bullpen who deserves a roster spot in 2023. Now maybe not as the 8th inning guy but at least one of the guys who is back next year.

He's had a pretty damn good year. 155 ERA+, 3.0 k/bb.

He's a legit 7th/8th inning guy. Today notwithstanding.

Up to Wilmer now. I won't watch Manfredball.

 

[tzill]

BOOOOOM!!!

 

[tzill]

It's a meaningless game, but I'm still quite happy.

 

[tzill]

You'd think they'll want to bring Wilmer back, right?

When was the last time the Giants swept another team? I know the last series' win was about a three weeks ago.

He is a middle infielder, technically.

Can't never have too many of those around.
