Game Thread: 8/1 Champs @ Notchamps

[tzill]

A bad start, but it wasn't disastrous. It could have been much, much worse given how erratic he was.

It's a PQS zero...that's called a disaster. Just the term used.

 

[tzill]

And how fucked the strike zone was/is

He got squeezed on a few pitches, but the strike zone wasn't awful.

Remind me what PQS is again.

 

[SFGRTB]

I need Aoki back at the top of the lineup soon.

 

[tzill]

It's exactly a coin flip now..50/50.

Moses - 93 pitches (4.2 innings)

Hamels - 57 pitches (5 innings)

alrighty then. It's a bullpen game.

Only for us

Remind me what PQS is again.

It's a way to score starts on a 0-5 scale. 0 and 1 are DIS starts; 4 and 5 are DOM (dominant) starts. If you don't go 5, it's automatically a zero.

 

[msgkings322]

Hamels had that one. This strike zone sucks balls, tzill, for both teams

 

[tzill]

Hacktacular inning. Alright gents, I'm out -- going to see Southpaw, which I have low expectations for. I hope our bullpen doesn't shit the mound and our batters stop swinging at slop.

Per Fangraphs, the ump hasn't miscalled anything for Hamels. For Hesto, he's called 5 or so strikes a ball.

Not terrible, but not good.

Bullpen management is too easy for Bochy in the AL

 

[msgkings322]

Nice curveball, JA!

 

[msgkings322]

Now sfgiants loves the shift!

 

[SFGRTB]

I love the shift!!

 

[SFGRTB]

Now sfgiants loves the shift!

I thought for a second Panik was going to be too far away to complete the throw.

 

[msgkings322]

Aaaaand now he hates the shift again! LOL

Other baseball real quick, Lucas Duda's last 8 hits have been homers.

Setting up the PBF, open base, hot hitter....
