Wait this shit gets THREE likes? Pssht, whatevs.

I got those likes, not for the post, but because I have yet to mention RI#P once tonight.

Hell of a play.

Oh no you di’int.

Watch Hunter go deep here

Deep what? He doesn't have warning track power anymore, nor gap power. A shallow fly ball to the OF is considered mashed now.

Actually striking out on a full count is the equivalent of a double at this point for him.

Pitch to goldy or walk him?

Duggar would have had that.

Are you asking for what we would do or what will Bochy do? Because those are two completely different answers.

 

[msgkings322]

Bear down Stratton.

 

[msgkings322]

Wow what a pitch, nice K son!

I was surprised to see the other day that the Giants walk Goldy the most out of all the NL West teams.... but whatever it is is still not enough

Yeah, its not enough. There should be some kind of rule that allows a manager to tell the home plate umpire that, if he so chooses, he will walk one opposing batter every time he comes to the plate, no exceptions. That way, Goldschmidt can just go directly to 1st base from the dugout.

I get the feeling that he doesn’t care if he walks Avila...

 

[calsnowskier]

Stratton has advanced his game leaps and bounds just in the last couple weeks.

Holy shit.

[calsnowskier]

That entire inning was a pitching clinic.

And yet he didn't. Stratton has definitely exceeded my expectations for him so far this season.

And he's issued zero walks tonight. Who does he think he's pitching against, the Giants? (Because that meme never gets old).
