Game Thread: 8/7/18 5th starter vs. Ace

[msgkings322]

Cained again. But as I said yesterday, hardly matters. Nice to see D Rod and Bum pitching great, wins don't matter. If we can hit next year and get one more starter we look good.

Good teaching experience for the kid, I guess

 

[msgkings322]

I hate baseball

Is that what this is? Don't baseball players hit home runs?

Astros are a good team and find ways to win.

Giants are a mediocre team and are ever in search of ways to lose.

Actually they lose pretty much the same way every time by not scoring for shit

Astros hitter with 3 homers on the season hits one out to give them a late lead

Posey- dribbler to 2nd

Longo- strikes out

Craw- ???????

Well like yesterday it doesn't matter but it's annoying to see #weaklink at it again

I agree. Yesterday Smith was #weaklink; today Black.

Frustrating

Yup, sodomized by the bullpen

The chain yanking doesn't work on anyone, kiddo

I posted that before Black pitched but you knew that

Here it starts. When you can't score runs the pitchers are under tremendous pressure every game. They get used a lot and always with tiny leads at best. Blown saves happen but it's not the pitchers fault completely

Horsecrap. You take a lead into the 8th, be it 9-8 or 1-0, the Phuking bullpen should almost always lock it down. Yesterday Smith phuked it up; today it was Black. Should only happen a couple of times a YEAR; it’s hapoened two Phuking days in a ROW.

No one's buying this.

In every season except the WS winning ones there comes a point when you know it's not your year.

I correctly decided a week or so ago we were done thanks to the terrible hitting #weaklink. So now losing doesn't bother me, because we have no shot of winning enough to compete.

You'll get there, although I suspect you will never understand why we fell short. You have a really weird bias that makes you often be very wrong here.

Just watched a replay of the White HR

Hundley- 1-2-3 see ya

Slater- WALKS!!!!!!

Hanson- K's

Duggar-

I’m not selling anything. The bullpen effort has been AWFUL this series. I’m not disputing that the hitting is terrible. Moreover, I have no expectations that they will compete for the playoffs this year. None. My point stands — the bullpen cannot implode like this.

Agreed.

But the so far 8-58 in two games with 1-10 with RISP isn't going to help matters much.

 

[Stokes1931]

Duggar's first walkoff would be sweet right here.

 

[Stokes1931]

And the game possibly ends on a pickoff at first?!?



edit: False alarm.

 

[Stokes1931]

Pa-the-tic
