Series Thread: Giants at Phillies

Again, we left Nieves on third. Stranding runners is what we do best.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels pitches himself out of a jam and we are hanging in there.

 

[Retroram52]

Finally, Byrd decides to put the ball in play with a base hit.

 

[Retroram52]

Same result with Sizemore. Left Byrd on first.

We can only win this 2-1. The margin for Hamels is always very slim.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamels keeps trying to hit Posey. Now he has walked him and this is the beginning of the end for this game.

 

[Retroram52]

That last pitch by Hamels was a definite strike and that ump completely blew that call.

 

[Retroram52]

I am surprised the Hamels is still throwing in the 90's and that was his 113th pitch. That is impressive for a guy with his stature.

 

[Retroram52]

I believe Hamels got pissed on that missed strike call and he pitched himself out of that jam/side still pissed.

 

[Retroram52]

They should let Hamels finish the game.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's close this out Papelbon and don't screw this one up like you did last night.

 

[jvett77]

Glad that Hamels got this win. Now for the DBacks.

 

[HammerDown]

A gem from Hamels and perfect save for Papelbon! Nice win.

 

[HammerDown]

The mighty Pence and Sandofat go 0-8. Not gonna win that way.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Hammer and jvett. jvett, you called this one even with a correct margin of a rare win. We broke a four-game losing streak and hopefully we can sweep the D-backs, three straight to continue our winning streak of one.
