Series Thread: Giants @ M's; June 17th & 18th

What did he do?

He took off from 2B with 2 outs and 2 on and Bumgarner just twirled and picked him off. No reason to be going anywhere and he only got 3 steps and had to go back to 2nd and out by a mile. Just a head-scratcher.

McClendon said Cano thought he saw something from Bumgarner and thought he could steal third base easily. It didn't work.

Good lord. Sad that he leads the team with base running mistakes even though he hasn't been on base as much

Total BS, thought he saw something from the World Series MVP? lol

The thread trailed off before getting to the pay off. Come on guys, lets enjoy that win. The felix was dominant, we managed to scratch 2 runs off of one of the best pitchers in baseball (who was interviewed after the game and said he felt he had his best stuff all year) Now I know we probably go out and get boat raced tonight but for one night atleast that was a great game.

Safeco was electric, (imagine what it would look like if they ever got into the playoffs)
The ninth inning by committee worked like a charm,
Overall a nice win.

I would say, something they can build on, but we all know this team doesn't do that.

MLB teams ranked 1-30 in Defensive Runs Saved (with shift defense, catcher framing factored in).

 

[WizardHawk]

Sad considering how good Zunino is at framing. Just shows how bad our overall defense is and how they aren't using the shifts as well as most winning teams. Hell, we are the only team in the negative.

Vogelsong with an ERA of nearly 5

gave up 4 runs in 3.2 innings in his last start

the most he has struck out in a game this year is 5

tonight, he gets to at least 6, i'm betting

anyhoo, here's out lineup:

 

[cezero]

uh oh, not so fast with that lineup for tonight:

Heard anything yet on who is having back spasms for the day?

Robinson Cano scratched from lineup with stiff lower back and Kyle Seager out with food poisoning. Big lineup shuffle.

[cezero]

wfb at 3rd and ackley at 2nd

can't wait

 

[Tapey]

Well rip in peace chances of winning, even though those were low to begin with

 

[Itsmytime]

Look at the black hole that is the bottom of that lineup

 

[seahawksfan234]

Hopefully Ackley looks good so that we can at least get a piece of gum for him.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Vogelsong has the 2nd worst away ERA in the NL!

Maybe we have a chance!

I think he's looking at it as a chance to lower his era

yep

anyhoo, that was a fun game. time to watch some star trek: ds9.

 

[seahawksfan234]

The fact that we are unable to score one run so far against one of the worst NL road pitchers is absolutely ridic- I mean, expected of this team.
