Damn, JC already in a hole...

0-2 after 1 for the bad guys. Queto with the non-error error to set it all up. Oh boy...

Why are we playing a 4th OFer in a game that obviously means so much (THE TROPHY!!)?

 

[calsnowskier]

At least the Giants Murderers Row is making this guy work.

Well once again the pitching loses the game for us.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants 12 up, 12 down through 4 innings

Pathetic

 

[calsnowskier]

I was on the phone and had the game on mute. What were they reviewing?

But at least they haven’t failed with RISP.

Silver linings.

This guy is making enough money, he should be allowing negative runs per start.

 

[calsnowskier]

(Seriously)

And what incentive does Cueto have to bear down? He knows once he gives up 1 run, the game is essentially over.

 

[Stokes1931]

Another homer for the A's. Too bad the Giants power resides in Sacramento.

I'll give you that.

Well he's obviously not pitching well, but the reason we are only a .500 team is that some days we scrape together enough runs to get our good pitching a win, and some days we don't. We rarely give up a ton of runs and we rarely score a ton. Just the epitome of a meh team.

 

[calsnowskier]

Against anyone but the dogs or i’s, I would be rooting for the perfect game to continue. This team needs either the humiliation or wake up call.

But not against one of the two hated teams...

 

[calsnowskier]

You’re welcome.

 

[Stokes1931]

GorKys showing he's a 5th outfielder. His hot streak in May-June was not going to last, but he's been pretty cold in June-July.

Giants have now scored 408 runs, and given up 433 runs.

Clearly pitching is the problem. They have given up more runs than allowed.

 

[calsnowskier]

I wonder if Cutch realizes the neck bone is not supposed to be connected to the hip bone.

 

[calsnowskier]

Well, our dreams of the trophy are fading fast.

 

[calsnowskier]

Should someone hit Cueto in the arm beforehand he pitches? He was pitching at a CY level when he was hurting. Not so much since he “got better”.

 

[calsnowskier]

Slater better be careful. He doesn’t want to perform and show up his manager...
