Game Thread: 9/9 Bum @ Worms

[LHG]

Span may take as much blame as Casilla if they lose. Makes the error to give the D-Backs the tying run and then gets gunned down at home. How much was that Kelly though?

 

[calsnowskier]

I don't give Casilla any blame tonight. None.

 

[Stokes1931]

I thought for sure that Nathan was coming in.

Could not have been worse.

According to Baggs, Lamb is now 4-8 against Casilla, all homers. How dare Noggin let Casilla face Lamb?

 

[Stokes1931]

I don't give Casilla any blame tonight. None.

Why not? He gave up the game tying homer, and blew the save. Again.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants were 3-8 with RISP. Now 3-14.

 

[Stokes1931]

Huge K by Nathan there.

Why not? He gave up the game tying homer, and blew the save. Again.

He never should have been in the situation.

 

[Stokes1931]

He never should have been in the situation.

Yeah, but he was, again. And he failed. Again. Way to pick up team mates and thank Noggin for the vote of confidence. Not.

 

[Stokes1931]

You know, as a rule the board can get on certain players, but we tend not to do the blame game too much. In the last two months, that has changed.

 

[Stokes1931]

1st and 2nd no outs. What creative way can we not score this inning? Against a guy with a 7.52 ERA no less.

 

[Stokes1931]

Terrible AB by Nunez. Doesn't advance the runners. Doesn't drive one in. Weak infield fly.

 

[Stokes1931]

First four batters are 1-22

Big sticks indeed

 

[Stokes1931]

JLo had one job.

 

[Stokes1931]

Interesting move. Gearrin pitches to one batter, moves to LF and JLo pitches, now Gearrin is pitching to Goldschmidt.

 

[Stokes1931]

Walking the bases loaded? Throw strikes. Dammit!

 

[1phlapdown]

Someone please hand me a gun...

I don't give Casilla any blame tonight. None.

He's a major league pitcher, paid good money to get hitters out. When a reliever doesn't do that with some frequency, the reliever risks losing his job.

 

[Stokes1931]

One out away. Get Casilla out of the stadium.

 

[1phlapdown]

Thank you Jesus.

 

[Stokes1931]

A win? In the first game of a series?

We'll take it!

And can Casilla go to the DL for some reason? Lower back, a brain cramp, anything?
