6/17 GDT Giants @ SeaMen

[gp956]

Looks like the ump has a "tall" zone. Both low and high strike is in play. I expect Panda to go yard today.

 

[Stokes1931]

Where'd the hitting shoes go?

Sorry, I mean the scoring shoes?

 

[Stokes1931]

Hitters 1-5 = 5-10

Hitters 6-9 = 0 for 4

Join the party, fellas.

 

[ColinCoby]

Hernandez approaching 70 pitches.

 

[Stokes1931]

ManBur FPOM.

And it was a popup.

25 pushups!

 

[gp956]

take some pitches Burriss, you're not a power hitter.

 

[gp956]

Earned runs given up by Hernandez in his last 6 starts: 4, 6, 1, 5, 4, 5. He'll probably go about 105 +/-5 pitches today.

 

[ColinCoby]

Crawford errors: 12

Mariner shortstops: 1

 

[SFAnthem]

Meat of the lineup this inning-gotta try to do damage here or at least add to is pitch count

edit: eh, not exactly what I had in mind

 

[mistgl]

God, his change clocks at 90... and his fb is 93-96. How is that even useful when the differential is only 4-5 mph?

 

[mistgl]

The heart of our order just looked really stupid....

 

[ColinCoby]

The heart of our order just looked really stupid....

Yep.

And Felix looks locked in.

 

[mistgl]

Yep.

And Felix looks locked in.

His arsenal is insane!

3 of his pitches clock 90+ but they're all different looks. he hits you with running fastballs, or change that has fb velocity and fades like a change, or a cutter that has 4 seam velocity but cuts like a damn buzz saw... And just encase none of that worked, he has a plus curve...

 

[Stokes1931]

We had our chances early. We need to keep working the count and get him out of there. Instead, we are hacking at the first or second pitch in the AB for the last couple of innings.

 

[Stokes1931]

Great patient AB by Stamos.

 

[mistgl]

Damn, crawfish with the improbably professional ab...

 

[mistgl]

Christ, Buriss has no business being on an ML roster. The hack can't even bunt properly!

 

[Stokes1931]

ManBur can't even execute the sac bunt.

 

[ColinCoby]

Christ, Buriss has no business being on an ML roster. The hack can't even bunt properly!

I can see us trading for a good righty relief pitcher and a solid infielder to come off the bench come mid July.

In the meantime, this is painful.

 

[Stokes1931]

Why does ANYone throw a pitch in the strikezone to Panda?

Leadoff single, can't even move the runner into scoring position. Not that a RISP would do us much good, with our seasonal average in that department standing at .219
