Series Thread: Pirates @ Giants

[pixburgher66]

Wilson just disappointing, and Stewart straight up awful. That was a fast ball. The ball never should have gotten past him.

 

[Darkstone42]

That's a rough inning for Wilson. The walk was the only thing he did wrong, and he gave up two runs.

The Giants have been extremely lucky today. They've only hit the ball hard maybe twice, but their racking up these soft bloop and bleed singles and turning them into runs.

Cutch looks very bad at the plate in the past week or so.

 

[pixburgher66]

Neverett and his dang depth perception needs to stop.

 

[Darkstone42]

I thought off the bat that was ticketed for the gap. Hung up just a bit.

 

[pixburgher66]

Seriously, watching from the press box it's normally pretty easy to tell what ball has a chance and what doesn't. Watch the outfielders.

Sergio Romo just pitched a scoreless inning?

 

[Darkstone42]

That ball off Posey's bat should have been two. Instead, we got none.

Walker continues to be bad defensively this season.

 

[Darkstone42]

That was at Sandoval's ankles, and he turned it into a [soft] hit.

I don't think it would have mattered if the Pirates had played well today. They clearly weren't destined to win this one.

 

[Darkstone42]

And here's Frieri to ensure that the gap becomes insurmountable.

Freeruns will stop the bleeding!

Dear NH:

Get an arm. Please.

Thanks.

 

[Darkstone42]

Well, softly hit balls are falling in left and right, so maybe a guy who gives up hard contact more or less constantly is exactly what we need to get out of this inning...

 

[Darkstone42]

I thought for a long time that ball was going to fall in... Phew.

 

[steelparrot]

OMG he did

 

[Darkstone42]

Wow, good pitching from Frieri. Still within reach.

 

[pixburgher66]

Stewart hitting this inning is a bit frustrating.

EDIT: So of course he hits a single.

 

[Darkstone42]

Take that, Giants. Two can play at the soft hits game.

 

[pixburgher66]

And it's Pedro time. Gosh I'd love for him to demolish one here.

 

[Darkstone42]

Oh, a Pedro sighting.
