Game 1: Cain vs. Commies

[Stokes1931]

Poop on a stick.

Get 'em tomorrow.

Posey with two hits, with one being a HR, but a pretty mediocre effort overall.

Dang. How big are the Reds' runs in the top of the 9th?

If those did not score, Posey would have been walked after the WP...

Congrats to the Reds. They deserved the W. Cain deserved the L.

Posey has to play better. He is the leader of this team, can't make the mistakes he did defensively and in the final AB

Sucks

I can see this series going 5. In a short series every game is a must win..but yeah game 2 is a must win for us

 

[gp956]

Cueto going down may have worked to the Reds advantage, especially if he can come back in game three. Huge advantage to Reds, now. Giants have to win three of four.

There is a lot of blame to go around on this one.

We all know who is really to blame.

Whiteside's fault!

Comcast giving Posey the Giants player of the game. Wrong. Brandon Belt had the best AB, and his D was stellar.

I thought so to. I bet the lineup was gearing up for cueto's crazy windup for 24 hours and took a few innings to adjust.

I'm not too down. Cain wasn't very sharp and we didn't have a whole lot of luck today. Belt and Panda crushed balls for outs, while Xavier Paul gets a huge broken bat bloop hit. At least we got 28 pitches out of Aroldis Chapman. We'll get 'em tomorrow.

Belt played with poise and confidence. Let's bat him 3rd, Bochy

Didn't most of us think he needed to flop into the third spot in September? Wouldn't mind him hitting behind Posey, either.

Wouldn't mind that at all either. Belt batting 5th right after Posey would mean more RBI opportunities for him. And since Belt has a high OBP, Pence would continue to have a lot of RBI opportunities despite being dropped to 6th in the order. Plus, it splits up the righties and lefties in the middle of the order.

Don't you guys wish we were playing an early game tomorrow? I don't like waiting after a loss. I wonder how players feel about it. Maybe they like to get back on the field right away to get rid of the sour taste of the night before. Plus, it's less time for the winning team's closer to recover.

That makes a lot of sense. Although, I'd end up not being able to watch it.

Yeah, aside from Belt not being to handle the shift, there's a lot to like in the move.

Busy on a Sunday? I hope it's a party, and not work.
