Unleashing Hell…..
Fun game. I tell ya though, this Posey kid, I just never saw this in him. Hitting home runs? I just figured him for a Jason Kendall type….
Is it just me or does it seem like Torres and Franchez have lost a TON of hits over the last few weeks by hitting the ball on the screws right at someone?
Bad feeling about the game today but no biggie, we’ve already taken the first 3…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
When this guy struggles he really struggles.
Fucking Zito. Can’t you just get through five?
Let him have it, Boch.
Wow. Bochy lowers the boom. Nippling around with a 6 run lead?
Showers . . .
Uh, nibbling . . .
Headcase can’t throw strikes even when he has a 6 run lead. I hope the allstar break helps him the way it usually does. We need him back on track in the second half. Crazy that it was only a couple weeks ago when there was allstar talks about Zeets.
Wow that’s a brutal call by Bochy.Zito can’t get the win.And he’s pissed.Not sure he deserved that.
Oh joy . . .
That’s fucking 12 straight balls by Bautista. Fuck him! Yank his ass now.
Fuck it Bochy. Pull him.
I’m a Zito backer; too bad he was not given a chance to get one more out. But I’d hate to see this go 6-5 with one swing.
Great and now 4 straight balls by Fresno bound Bautista.WTF!!!!!
Brutal call, but what should he do? Let Zito dick around some more?
He’s at 113 pitches.
now this feels like that 7-1 lead against Colorado last week
And why the fuck are we continuing to carry a 13-man staff if he is going to be apart of it.
Dump his ass down to Fresno ASAP. Bochy could use an extra position player right now.
Ooooh. Gift call there . . .
thanks for helping out, Bautista; get on the bus to AAA
Torture.
Yeeeesh. 5 more runs would make me feel good.
Funny thing, Baustista very well is in line for the W. Life isn’t fair I tell ya.
I loved the call by Bochy taking out Zito; hated the call being to Bautista. Ump totally bailed out Bautista with that low strike call on strike two.
That coulda been worse…
As for pulling Zito, fucking A Bochy should have pulled him. The guy gets a 6 run lead and can’t throw a fucking strike. He should’ve been a lock for win number 8. Good move by Bochy.
Yep, tough shit, Zito. Next time, take fewer than 113 pitches to get out of the fifth when you have a 6 run lead.
Agreed Zoom on Bautista becoming the designated vulture. For what its worth, Zits KINDA would have had earned the W ~ if they hang on. Bautista was a bad call in more ways than one. Oh well, if the pen hangs on it won’t all matter that much.
And Zito might have given up a grand salami. The way he was going, jerking him was the right move, IMO.
More Bautista? Fucking hell.
Oh goodie. Bautista just wants to keep up the insanity . . .
Fuck Denny! That’s right, you heard me. FUCK DENNY!
Fuck this. Bautista should be Fresno-bound after this performance.
Castilla better find it immediately.
casilla . . .
Go right back there Casilla.
This friggin’ bullpen…..
Fuck it’s getting ugly in a hurry!
Fuck fuck fuck.
Christ, these guys are unbelievable.
Why did’t they go with Ray?that guy knows how to pitch.
ONE fucking out? Come ON . . . . . . .
Can Wilson come in for a 12-out save?
Yow . . . In the fucking dirt and he goes after it . . .
Sure was nice to have Aaron Rowand Kottaras batting there on ball 4.
Nice pitch though . . .
We’ve debated that around here before, whether to bring the closer in at such a crucial moment early in the game. Managers never do it.
Christ. Every guy, Casilla?
Bochy’s ready to eat the railing . . .
I wouldn’t do it in the 6yth, Zoom.
Fucking Hell! Walking in a damned run is unexcuseable!
Giant fandom – only masochist need apply!
What fries fans is that at such a critical moment in the game, a team trots out their WORST relievers.
FUCK ! ! ! ! ! !
Still one fucking out, on a pitch that was ball 4.
No way you go to your closer in the 6th.
Hoping Runzler finds the strike zone today.
Bautista is out there cuz he can chew up a few innings. The Giants need another guy to take that spot, and subsequently ship Bautista’s ass off to Fresno.
Is Bochy TRYING to dump this game?
But let’s say this guy hits a grandslam and Wilson never gets in the game. The game gets lost with the best reliever never getting in there.
If Wellemyer is good for anything, it’s this role of long relief. What the hell happened to him?
Bautista, Casilla, Runzler: 53 BB in 67 IP…
That’s just fucking horrible.
Zuma, the point is, your middle relief should be able to get outs.
If they can’t, yer in trouble. As in, this . . .
Why not go to May in this situation?
Shouldn’t that be 153, TF?
Called strike 3! YES!
I’m not saying do it often. Just once would be a kick in the pants.
Oh dear.
Stiil and all, a lot fo this falls on Zito for not being aggressive with the lead, and not being able to go 5.
Holy shit. Torture.
Whew!
Zum, I don’t dispute your premise. Isn’t that Bill James’s deal? Or LaRussa’s. The best pitcher more than the role pitcher. It’s 192 degrees in the shade; need to nap.
OK, I got proven wrong. (grin)
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Coulda been a lot uglier . . .
He’s still on the DL, Chuckles. Casilla and Bautista could both be gone soon. One for Wellemeyer, the other for one of the Fresno middle infielders…
As I said earlier…Giant fandom – only masochist need apply!
Oh yeah! Walk in another run! Make me sweat some more!! It’s not torture…it’s Giant Baseball!
I agree with Twin…they will go back to a 12 man staff after the break (Bautista?). And yes, Casilla will have to straighten his shit out or he’s next.
“Coulda been a lot uglier . . .”
Uh, yeah…when you consider the BrewCrew has stranded 15…it coulda been much much uglier.
“Shouldn’t that be 153, TF?” Feels like it, doesn’t it?
Yeah, it has been done before, Zuma, just not this early. The point being, your middle relief should do a better job.
Can’t get comfortable unless we get 6 more runs, given what Rox, ATl., and Tampa have done recently in late innings — tho’ I’ve got an email in to the Splash disputing nat’l stories saying 9 run 9th is most ever. As I’ve said here before, Giants trailed 11-1 against Pirates in a 1958 game and scored 9, but lost, as far as I can recall. The game was even cited in the Mays bio that I’m not supposed to mention anymore. Don Taussig made the last out, hence my Splash moniker.
Casilla was so dominating as recently as Sunday.
Damn straight, TF. These guys are killing me. 3-2 on EVERYONE they faced. Zito as well. . . .
8 walks in 6 innings . . . grrroooaaan.
AHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh………… uh, wow. The FC isn’t a DP . . .
Runzler gets his chance at immortatlity here. jack one.
Shit, you’ve got to be kidding me . . .
Or ignominy . . .
We the fans are the only ones who don’t mourn the loss of Runzler.
That’s got 15-Day DL written all over it. Send in the reserves.
