GDT Sam Houstons @ Champs 8/26

A Win!!!!

It didn't answer any questions or relieve any doubts (Beltran looked better?) but a win is still a win.

Always a good thing to get the milker back and doing her thing

still for more runs

OCrap and Keppinger have been in take mode early in their at bats.

This has probably already been railed on, but OC needed to be in take mode when he came up in the 3rd (?) with Happ having just WALKED the bases loaded. Walked the PITCHER.

FPOM instead. So fucked up. Huff does that, Ross does that, OC does that. It's literally the stupidest thing you can do in the batters box. YOU TAKE THE FIRST PITCH in that situation ALWAYS.

And it's not just the shitty hitters fault. Bochy needs to take some heat. He needs to BENCH ANYONE who does that the next game and tell him why.

Needless to say, yesterday's 'win' did nothing to help my shattiness. Same story: great pitching almost scuttled by totally inept hitting, vs a shitty pitcher and a shitty team.

We are still in big trouble.

I think agiantstep is left over there, too. That board is like the Dead Marshes in the LOTR.

Which means Nolan is Sauron and Marcus is Gollum. Not that I was into LOTR or anything.

 

[msgkings322]

That. Will. Not. Happen.

We have Eljim on board tonight!

FYWW says no. So sad to watch perhaps the best pen in Giants history (better than last year even) wasted by this offense.

 

[msgkings322]

Another clue on how the offense is so bad...anyone else getting tired of Kuip or Kruk being happy when a Giants hitter either goes beyond a 3 ball count or hits something semi-hard into an out?

Have we sunk that low?

I think you know the answer to that.

 

[msgkings322]

Casilla doing his best Weez impression...

It was vs Houston both times, but Casilla has looked really closerish his last 2 outings.

Kruk and Kuip are Giants employees, and two of the biggest homer announcers there are. That is good and that is bad at times. I think I prefer their rose-colored glasses than not.

However, to hear Ralph and tom go on about how fp swinging is a solid strategy just boggles the mind.

Really? Well, they have some keen insight into the game from their playing days...

This ..... and then some!

Another interesting aspect of this offense - we also have 240ish hitters that swing 3-0. We need facking base runners. Make them throw strikes! If we were averaging 6 runs a game - then fine - but this team has problems scoring 6 runs in a 3 game series.

Pantshatting aside, seriously, does this team need to be treated like a little league team? Should boch put this kind of restriction on everyone except Panda, Belt and Beltran? they are all failing miserably doing it "their way", so let's try something new.

I think it may be time. Mutiny? Who gives a fuck. You guys are professionals and the season hangs in the balance. Half the position players will be gone next year anyway, so who cares if they get pissed.

Agreed. Time to stop being a 'players manager'. Anyone who might get pissed about it (Huff, Ross, Tejada, Cabrera, etc) we could give two shits about their widdle feewings.

I think you know the answer to that.
