Game Thread: Wild Card Game: Giants at Pirates

[Darkstone42]

Today is the day! Hooray! Something else ending in a long-a sound for rhyming purposes!

Behold, our lineup:

Steady Eddie versus MadBum (hehe). Clear pitching advantage to the Giants on true talent, but Volquez is on a roll, and our lineup is definitely better than theirs.

PNC Park will likely be rocking, or some similar motion.

Go Bucs!

If you need something that rhymes with "day," go with the obvious: BUCCOS ALL THE WAY.

I follow the Tribe, because they're on TV here, but my heart will always belong to the Pirates.

Its now or never, lets go Volquez

 

[steelparrot]

Well at least the nightmare scenario is gone

 

[element1286]

Madison Bumgarner on the season has a .755 OPS at the plate this year, 4 HR's and 15 RBI, just throwing that out there.

Must be ESPN but the crowd doesn't seem as loud.

Also if Volquez hangs another change up like the one to Blanco but to a power hitter that is gone.

 

[element1286]

So close for Harrison, over ran the popup.

 

[element1286]

Hate the offset camera angle.

 

[element1286]

Giants are aggressive up there for sure, and they don't strike out too much.

 

[thedddd]

Thank god for Ishikawa up in that situation.

 

[element1286]

Terrible ab by Walker.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah Walker looked bad that 3rd strike a low 90's fastball down the middle.

 

[thedddd]

Hate the offset camera angle.

Yeah those camera angles are brutal.

 

[element1286]

They need better ab's, so far they aren't challenging Bumgarner at all. He is in complete control.

Glad to hear the fans made it tough to hear on the popup.

 

[thedddd]

Now they are talking about the noise but ESPN isn't doing a good job showing it off. They make it like the crowd is dead.

Yeah I don't get it, Bumgarner is not really throwing much more than fastballs and why change if no one is hitting them.

Would like to see them put a few the opposite way, Cutch and Gaby especially looked way out in front overswinging and flying open.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah they see those pitches up like that and are trying to hit for the fences. Harrison has been the only one to do that, unfortunately Pence played the fly perfectly.

 

[element1286]

Tough call on Snider for strike three, not sure about that one. Although this camera angle sucks, so I have no idea.

 

[thedddd]

Note to Volquez don't throw that pitch again to Sandoval.
