Game Thread: Let’s Play Two - LAD @ SF

[Stokes1931]

No QS for Strat today.

After walking in a run, begins with two balls to the pitcher

Is he missing that much or is he being squeezed?

edit: finally K's the pitcher.

A 45 pitch inning.

Fortunate to only be down by 3.

If he goes 4 innings today after this start that would be great.

It WOULD be great, but I don’t expect it.

 

[Stokes1931]

Good start.

Better start warming up Hangman. They may need you this game.

Slightly squeezed, but that had nothing to do with his meltdown. He had no control of anything. Hundley was calling for a pitch 4 inches OUTSIDE and he ended up almost hitting the batter. He was nowhere near his spots.

Wow. With strike calls like that, this game is over.

Chalk it up to lack of sleep and excitement over the new member of his family?

Certainly is understandable. And K&K mentioned it...

But 40 pitches in the first is not an indicator of going deep (although, your wife having a kid IS an indicator of going deep)

 

[calsnowskier]

An EWS would do wonders right here...

 

[calsnowskier]

Great job by the offense to pick the kid up. And Buehler is having a super rough first as well.

 

[calsnowskier]

Great call by the ump.

As much as we (I) complain about the umps, they USUALLY get it right.

 

[calsnowskier]

Collarbone, or just the wind knocked out?

Either way, AMAZING catch.

 

[LHG]

Better start warming up Hangman. They may need you this game.

They may need tzill to warm up as well.

 

[LHG]

What's with the defensive maneuvering by the Dodgers?

 

[calsnowskier]

I am kinda glad this game has gone to shit. I have some errands to run today, and this game is perfect errand-running material.

 

[calsnowskier]

Remember what I said about umpires earlier?


Yeah. Scratch that...

 

[LHG]

This game already feels very long and its only the 3rd inning. Maybe we all need to warm up for this game.

What was the call that got Curt Young thrown out?

I wasn’t watching at that point (I actually turned off the tv after Utley’s double) but I think he was still complaining about the “ball” to utley. The inning would have been over clean had he not completely fucked that call.

 

[Stokes1931]

The Rook has 11 walks in 14 career innings, and today the Giants have patiently worked all of one walk. What is it about this team that absolutely goes zombie when facing a new pitcher?
