Fuck.

 

[LHG]

Really? Kang again?

Hunter has been much better this season, but he still has a penchant for giving up the long ball.

Fuck 2-1 bad guys.

 

[SFGRTB]

This one will leave a sour taste in my mouth if the score holds true.

 

[calsnowskier]

This game is squarely on Boch, unless Leake felt some tightening.

He hasn't had a problem until this month (well, except last years playoffs), where he's given up all his homers. I'm worried that he's going to start thinking about it too much.

 

[calsnowskier]

Come on bats. Save your manager some grief in the post-gamer...

 

[LHG]

Really weird inning.

 

[filosofy29]

Really weird move and it seems a little un-Bochy like. He runs out relief pitchers to the plate all the time. Why would he pull his starting pitcher after only 70 pitches when he is dominantly (minus one pitch).

He's also a pretty good hitter too....not bad numbers against Cole either. Have to assume it may have been an injury/precautionary thing.

He could be feeling the fatigue. The entire bully has been overused.

Even precautionary doesn't make sense. He didn't seem to show any signs of problems and 70 pitches is typically the limit half way through spring training.

Maybe he was on a strict pitch count? All his ABs (save for 1) was un stressful, though.

I do think I'd rather have the manager suffering from a one decision episode of ineptitude rather than another injury for Leake.

 

[calsnowskier]

And for the record, he was at 77. I misspoke on the 70.

Doesn't REALLY change the point, though.

Still no mention at all by K&K.

 

[calsnowskier]

And that's how it started...

 

[SFGRTB]

Be a number 3 hitter here, Belt

True, but you can't live life playing it safe. He was only in the stretch for 1 AB, so it was a very soft 77.

 

[calsnowskier]

Ok Belt. Don't look at stroke 3 here...

 

[SFGRTB]

I'll take it. Belt gets one of those hits into the shift back.

Cmon Gerald.....
