8/13 GDT Nats @ Giants

[gp956]

Nats playing a full nine apparently. LF robs Belt.

Can't be too careful with a 14 run lead, evidently.

 

[gp956]

Arias trying to preserve the shutout.

 

[gp956]

Yes! Fish needed that one.

 

[Stokes1931]

hahahahahaha

No shutout for you, Gio!

 

[Stokes1931]

14-2 sounds way better than 14-0. :sad:

 

[gp956]

I wouldn't mind seeing an infield of

Panda - 3B
Fish - SS
Kobe - 2B
G, Baby - 1B

for a few games.

 

[gp956]

Need a shutdown inning.......

 

[Stokes1931]

How many Nats' "hits" tonight ticked off Giants gloves?

 

[Stokes1931]

Need a shutdown inning.......

Yeah, 'cause 12 bloops and a blast ought to get this one in the win column if we hold them here.

 

[Stokes1931]

Need a shutdown inning.......

Too bad. Casilla is in.

 

[gp956]

There's a chance.......

 

[gp956]

There's bloop#1.....

 

[gp956]

come on ek-toor.......do something good.

 

[Stokes1931]

Oh boy, two on, one out, and Hunt and Peck is up.

 

[Stokes1931]

Beautiful strike out, there. Way to go, Hunt and Peck! Well done.

 

[gp956]

damn...needed to score there.

 

[Stokes1931]

Nats 10-19 with RISP

Giants are 1-7 with RISP

 

[Stokes1931]

In the last six series, the Giants have lost the opening game of the series five times.

7/27 LAD Lost 5-3

7/30 NYM Lost 8-7

8/3 COL WON 16-5

8/6 STL Lose 8-2

8/10 COL Lost 3-0

8/13 WAS Lost 14-2

I am NOT liking this "trend". Why can't Bochy get these guys ready to play the opening game of a series?

To be fair, for the season, the Giants are 2-17 in opening games of series.

And in June-July, the Giants were 11-1 in one stretch in opening games of series.

 

[Stokes1931]

Come on, Kontos, you idiot. Don't walk anyone. You are behind by 12 runs. Let them hit the damn ball!
