Nice let the kids play

Giants update: Haniger and Yastrzemski could come off IL and play in upcoming Reds series, Kapler says.

I guess that they don't want to have Haniger use the full time allowable on his rehab. Sure, this team is scuffling but Haniger didn't look good when he was healthy and he's been out of action for a long time. Rushing him back doesn't solve anything.

Beck needs a PBF here.

Crap.

Tie game.

Beck has pitched well, but perhaps beyond his endurance?

 

[msgkings322]

It's a mistake to leave Beck in here

 

[msgkings322]

Called it

 

[msgkings322]

Fuck this stupid team that can't hit and apparently can't understand how pitching works when they can't hit

 

[Stokes1931]

Why put Alexander in at this juncture? He's been terrible for the last two weeks! He needs a clean inning to start, not inherited runners. And now he gives the accursed Braves the lead. Great managing, Kap!

 

[msgkings322]

Finally a big hit with RISP. Hope we can make it stick.

 

[Stokes1931]

What is this? Some runs? With two outs?

 

[Stokes1931]

And de Jong K's on three pitches. One of them was even in the strike zone. Can't be too greedy, though.

6-3 Giants

Need some shut down innings

 

[msgkings322]

Nice play Thairo

 

[msgkings322]

Serves me right for getting my hopes back up after the 4 run inning

NO soup for you

 

[msgkings322]

Another hit with RISP, nice

Gee those seem to help winning

 

[msgkings322]

Now that is fun baseball, the suicide squeeze!

PERFECT bunt by Thairo

Not watching, but in general, I like that they gave Beck a shot at getting more innings.

I don’t care about the win/loss at this point. I just want to develop the kids and evaluate assets for next year.

A bit too soon for that IMO, it's not like they have no chance at improving the record and making the playoffs.

While mathematically true, the way the team has been playing, I'm not sure that is reasonable.
