GDT 7/21 Cain vs. Hamels

[MarcoPolo]

9th inning : FPOM, SPOM, TPOM.

 

[Stokes1931]

Stokes here.

We were up 4-2, what happened?

leadoff walks are killers

1-7 with RISP today. Someday this may catch up to us and bite us badly.

Let's win it in extras, boys!

 

[Stokes1931]

Papelbon has been unHITtable all season. Never going to score off of him. He is way too good.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Nice, Stokes, I'll continue : RISP : no way they manage to get anybody across the plate ...

Panda has looked horrible these last few game.

 

[Stokes1931]

Absolutely terrible at bat (and game) by :panda:.

You gotta hot that ball, son. And it is easier to ht if it is in the strike zone rather than two feet outside.

 

[MarcoPolo]

TAKES THE LEAD !!

 

[Stokes1931]

Nice, Stokes, I'll continue : RISP : no way they manage to get anybody across the plate ...

Shhhh. Working hard on the reverse jinx. It worked well in the ATL. Why not here? These hitter need all the help they can get with RISP.

 

[mistgl]

If he loads the bases they better effing squeeze. Botch one or not, I do not trust Arias to not FPOM

 

[Stokes1931]

Shark!

Gets the run in. Not pretty. But effective.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Shows what having two fast guys (at the plate, and at 3B) can do with a bunt. SCORE, and no out!

 

[MarcoPolo]

I believe that with this one game, Bochy may have doubled the # of squeezes he has called during his tenure as Giants' manager.

 

[Stokes1931]

Someone needs to muscle up with an Earl Weaver Special.

 

[MarcoPolo]

How many inside off-speed pitches will Paps throw to Belt?

How many will Belt swing at?

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt could earn some more PT here with a hit.

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt rapidly descending on the shizzle list. Swings at ball 4. Swings at ball 5 and pops out to shallow left. #fail

 

[MarcoPolo]

DAMN! WAY TOO MANY HACKERS SWINGING AT BALLS WAAAAAAY OUT OF THE ZONE.

 

[mistgl]

We need a better bench.

Justins AAAA ass just aint cutting it,

 

[Stokes1931]

Bases loaded, one out. Not a single run?!?!?

#epicfail

2 for 11 with RISP.

At least the reverse jinx may have helped early in the inning to get one run home.

Protect the lead, go back to hotel happy. (except for Belt and :panda

 

[Stokes1931]

One out. Two to go FTW.
