Fitz with leadoff single

Good start

 

[Stokes1931]

Oh crap. Fitz steals 2nd while Canha K's. That means a RISP. Not a good sign.

 

[Stokes1931]

Already 0-2 with RISP

Mercy!

 

[Sandisfan]

Three singles and No Runs these guys are Awesome! Bases loaded for sure a good rally. LOL

Infield single better than usual... 1-0

 

[stanford the manford]

Explain what I'm seeing B3rd. 3 up, 3 singles, no outs, bases loaded. Very strange

That's better, Babe going fishing. Couldn't hold up. 1 dn w RISP

 

[stanford the manford]

Cray-Cray gets lucky on the bobbled bunt. Scored a hit and an RBI

 

[Stokes1931]

Fitz getting it down with a Sac Fly

2-0

 

[Sandisfan]

Now a sac fly. I wonder what it's like for teams that actually get double or homeruns in RISP situations.

 

[Sandisfan]

OH NO Bases Loaded Again... The Horror!

UGH as expected for this team get the minimum out of Four consecutive hits.

 

[calsnowskier]

Not watching today (by choice). That 2nd sounds so fucking frustrating.

I honestly don’t have any theory as to why this team just can’t hit with RISP. It has to be a thing that has infested the clubhouse, and it has just gotten in everyone’s head. But why does this happen to this org seemingly every season? It can’t just be continual bad luck. There has to be some kind of cultural issue in that clubhouse that allows that attitude to fester.

 

[Sandisfan]

Cultural imperative, is to Cain Every Pitcher till no pitcher signs here from outside or inside this Org. as a protest to the futility.

P.S. Channeling my inner Marvin the Depressed Robot from Hitchhikers Guide.

For years my group always put the blame on BamBam. Seems to be more deep seeded than a single person.

Maybe we just sign the wrong players.

I'd love to have Tony Gwynn return from beyond and conduct batting practice with a cattle prod and megaphone. Try to pull an un-pullable pitch and 'Wrong' - Zap. There'd be a lot of 'Wrong' - Zaps in that session

 

[stanford the manford]

Schmidt 2run bomb...!

4:0

 

[Sandisfan]

Wait is it legal in the MLB rules for a Giants homerun with a runner on base?

 

[stanford the manford]

Cray-Cray solo

5:0

Carney left the org while tossing grenades at all the undisciplined hitters that the org produces. I think it comes from a philosophy that has been in the minor league training staff for generations.

Ultimately, it is Filo’s fault.

Cray-Cray solo

5:0

Nice confidence boost for the kid.
