Game Thread: GDT 6/24 Padres @ Giants

[Stokes1931]

Giants with no baserunners

Padres have leadoff man on in five straight innings.

The ship is now tipped over. All of the crew abandoned ship an hour ago, leaving the passengers

Pagan = team MVP

Also, we have a starting pitching problem.

And yet, it's June, and we will still lead the division tomorrow.

We are going to be battling the Dodgers all year, we weren't going to run away with it.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

We shouldn't be this excited about a base hit

A weak base hit at that.

Followed by another weak base hit.

The Giants deserve to still be facing a perfecto tonight.

 

[Stokes1931]

Pads leadoff hitter on for the 6th straight inning.



Aren't these guys supposed to be a bad hitting team?!?!

 

[msgkings322]

That's the problem with baseball, a guy like Hudson comes over and starts so hot you think 'co-ace!'

Then you get reminded, mean-reversion is a thing.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

As much as I still believe in this team, this is another reason we need another SP. Hudson was great for us early, but he was going to come down. Not a 2-ERA guy, even in our park

You kinda beat me to it

Same thing happening w/Morse?

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

I'm done watching this

 

[msgkings322]

Hey, where are the wheels on this car?

 

[msgkings322]

Same thing happening w/Morse?

Happens to most, so yeah.

Again, we were NEVER as good as when we were 21 games over .500. And we're not as bad as this last 2 weeks. We will get players healthy, we will make some moves in July, and we will win 92-95 games and battle the Dodgers for the division. That's all we could have expected. We got suckered into believing we were a .630 win pct team and that was foolish of us.

It was so FUN though....

June almost over and Morse has 2HR and 6RBI

Yeah but the reversal happened so suddenly. That's what really hurts.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

June almost over and Morse has 2HR and 6RBI

at least he is healthy!

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

So is it our hitters just not able to pick up/take advantage of what a fresh, young SP is doing or is it our scouts who maybe aren't giving this team great, accurate reports


(I'm just blabbering now)

 

[1phlapdown]

Home run production has really fallen in June. In apr and may the Gs were in top 10 in hr for each month in all mlb, but in jun the Gs are in 26th place so far.

 

[1phlapdown]

at least he is healthy!

Haha, we hope

JA with the 6 pitch inning
