Kontos was so much better than that this year, his last 2 months were very human, but his first 4 months of the season were super-human.

 

[LHG]

Not that way Kontos wanted to finish the season.

Just thinking the same thing. All the other pitchers pitched well (except maybe Lopez) and then the game crumbles in the 9th.

 

[SFGRTB]

It's okay guys, just setting up a Bumgarner walk-off homerun

That is why I dislike late season slides for guys like Crawford, Strickland, Heston and Kontos. Their numbers are worse than what they did for much of this season, but they still count and they did have an impact on the season.

So if Hall allows the runner to score and the Giants do not tie it up, he takes the loss without giving up a run.

Reason #429 that wins and losses are BS stats for pitchers.

Wouldn't Kontos lose, since it's his run?

I am pretty sure it would be Hall, since he was on the mound as the lead was surrendered.

I believe you are right on that.

Well that's dumb. I'd rather not find out today.

 

[SFGRTB]

Cody Hall, not ready. Easy DFA candidate.

 

[LHG]

This would be a really bad ending to the season.

Why Hall in the 9th? I'd would have preferred Casilla. Too late now.

Well, this got real ugly.

The Rockies are assholes

What happened to this bullpen suddenly? Looked so good from 6th to 8th.

Very little of this 9th inning has made sense to me. I am sure there were a LOT of discussions about preferences had before the game started.

We go into the ninth with a 3-run lead and end up going into the bottom of the ninth losing in blow-out fashion.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I present to you the 2015 San Francisco Giants.

Lopez and Kontos probably weren't 100% in the game, and then Hall just isn't that good.

So frustrating, and that's how I would describe this season.

 

[SFGRTB]

We won a challenge, very un-2015 like.
