This game doesn't have the torture feel to it that it had in the second inning.

That *used* to be the rule, back when the Giants ran the ticket resale - you could NOT re-sell for less than the original price. In fact, you couldn't resell for less than "orig ticket price + Giants 10% fee". Since MLB took over (and awarded sales to stubhub), I'm not sure if that is still the rule or not.


Hard to compete w/ eBay and CL with that business model.

If that is still the rule with stubhub, seems like an opportunity for a tertiary market.

At least Belt is bringing the glove. Even JT has sucked his knob in regards to his defense...

Least Samardzija has had to run the bases and has had a lot of high stress innings. Make him pay boys.

70 pitches through 4 for Tron. Six is do-able.

Probably not enough volume available for that. Interested buyers and sellers aren't that numerous on the secondary, there'd be almost no one on the tertiary

Because elite pitchers own the game. And nearly every team has one really good pitcher, who you are likely to face in any four game series.

Maybe if the Giants were to get themselves one of these "elite pitchers", they would be able to avoid the sweeps.

One can dream...

But were assuming it's baseball's reselling rules which is preventing that market from working properly, i.e. match buyers and sellers via price. Markets don't work efficiently with artificial constraints on price movement.

I know...they get swept so often. It's a problem.
