Go Giants!

PawlieKokonuts said, on October 9, 2012 at 3:59 pm

Gee, Buster, that was an EXACT replay of your previous AB. Smarten up, kid.

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:01 pm

Arrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh!

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:03 pm

Wow. Juan Marichal fucking Bailey is pitching today.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:04 pm

Pence I’m used to swinging at shit 10″ off teh outside corner, but Posey is looking foolish so far.

They are all hacking at shit.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:10 pm

Minus some bullshit calls, Vogie is settling down.

When did James Woods start announcing?

Macdog said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:11 pm

Nice 1-2-3. Can we get a fucking hit now?

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:16 pm

Wow. The strike zone is 8″ across til now.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:16 pm

Great AB by Belt, and the ump screws him.

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:17 pm

No shit . . . It’s been . . . umm, almost 3000 miles away and 2 days since our last hit.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:21 pm

What the fuck? Bailey is a middling pitcher, and he looks like Don Fucking Drysdale. Is he throwing 98 MPH?

No.

Wow. This game is lost if this is how we are batting.

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:21 pm

This is humiliating.

Macdog said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:21 pm

Strike that: Can we put a fucking ball in play?

eddacker said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:22 pm

The TBS announcers were chatting about how Rags and the giants revived Ryan’s career. Looks like the Giants have revived the careers of two more pitchers in Arroyo and Bailey.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:23 pm

What do we have? One hit in the last 15 innings?

Woo hoo!

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:24 pm

Wow. The K zone just got 12″ wider.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:27 pm

2 hits in 14 innings.

This is no way to run a candy shop, Irene.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:30 pm

Surely you must be joking. Give them all the fucking calls.

eddacker said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:30 pm

gutsy inning for Ryan

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:33 pm

Somebody (a Giant) needs to hit a two run dinger, with this ump it will be hard to string things together…

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:37 pm

Finally, a ball in play. Whoopie Doo!

dfoijunca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:37 pm

Snarkk, a groundout was fucking PROGRESS.

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:38 pm

Props to Ryan . . . As the Edster pointed out, gutsy performance, considering how much he was struggling with his command (and the inconsistent fucking home plate umpire).

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:40 pm

A hit! Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd a pop out.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:44 pm

This Giants hitting in this series reminds of 2008 or 2011 shit.
Looks like they’re grinding the bat handles into sawdust, and a terrible home plate ump doesn’t help…

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:42 pm

This hitting progress is similar to watching a tortoise racing toward the finish line – incremental and barely noticeable.

fan-with-bag-over-head said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:46 pm

one hit can turn this thing around

twinfan1 said, on October 9, 2012 at 4:55 pm

Bailey did throw a no-hitter about 10 days ago. He can pitch a litlle, guys.

eddacker said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:02 pm

he is young and talented.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:05 pm

I would normally say that if the Gyros get down, that Pen is going to shut the door.
But, they can’t do any worse against that Pen than they’re doing against Bailey…

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:07 pm

Bailey out.
Dat’s good. Now we only have to face the best Pen in the NL…

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:08 pm

Go with Kontos.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:08 pm

They’ve ridden Affeldt far enough.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:16 pm

He gave a great ride…

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:11 pm

Finally, at least a real playoff game with nervous time. Giants are used to this. They need to take a breath and really start grinding the ABs and if they can’t hit one out or string three hits together, then use speed to steal a run…

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:12 pm

OK, NOW they have . . .

Hell of a job there by Affeldt. Bochy’s managing for the long haul here.

ewisco said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:12 pm

This is the type of game that could really hurt the reds if the g’s can steal it. Their pitcher is having a career start, vogey struggling. G’s get gifty sort of run. Could be killer

PawlieKokonuts said, on October 9, 2012 at 7:07 pm

prophetic, dude; prophetic

Salty said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:13 pm

Reds haven’t had a hit since the first inning, right? Great job By Vogel and Affeldt.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:15 pm

I’d love to see it but they havent hit a ball hard all game.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:16 pm

Let’s go boys…need some ducks on the pond…

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:16 pm

Yeah, “he can pitch a little,” but he also does this shit (see below). Giants are obviously catching his inconsistent ass on an upswing. Regardless, Homer fucking Bailey is no excuse for the Giants looking like hapless saps the last 3 games. Giants hitting has gone south in this series.

“Aug. 26 – Homer Bailey was hammered for five earned runs in six innings Sunday in a loss to the Cardinals.
Bailey struck out three and didn’t issue a walk, but the dangerous St. Louis offense pounced all over the few mistakes that he made, netting nine hits before driving him from the game. Bailey will take a 4.24 ERA and 1.39 WHIP into his next scheduled start against the Astros.”

“Aug. 16 – Homer Bailey was blasted in Thursday’s loss to the Mets, surrendering four runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. Bailey tallied six strikeouts and walked three. The Mets broke through with three runs in the fourth inning, courtesy of a solo homer from Ike Davis and a two-run double off the bat of starter Matt Harvey. Jason Bay then added a solo blast in the sixth, chasing Bailey from the game. It’s the fourth straight rough outing for Bailey, who could soon be in danger of losing his spot in the Reds rotation. He’ll attempt to turn things around when he faces the Phillies in Philadelphia on Tuesday.”

“Aug. 5 – Homer Bailey struggled again Sunday, getting touched up for four runs on nine hits and a walk over just 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Pirates. Bailey was brilliant for a five-start stretch but has now been knocked around each of the last two times out. In theory, he has a good chance to rebound the next time out against the Cubs, but starts against the Padres and Pirates looked good on paper, as well.”

“July 31 – Homer Bailey allowed six runs on nine hits over just 3 2/3 innings in a 7-6 win over the Padres on Tuesday. Bailey was handed a 6-0 lead early on but handed it all back in the fourth inning. Especially given the competition, it’s a terribly disappointing performance for a pitcher that had been red-hot. But, it’s also a reminder that Bailey is still prone to inconsistency.”

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:17 pm

All we can be thankful for is the baserunning fuckup by Phillips.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:17 pm

Fucki! They’re putting the bat on the ball, but cannot find the hole.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:17 pm

Time for The Riot’s first Giant HR.

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:18 pm

Oooooooooooooooooooooooor not.

Macdog said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:19 pm

How the hell were those 3 outside curves by Marshall called strikes?

eddacker said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:19 pm

four pinch hitters and four outs. It is a game, though.
Go Giants!

twinfan1 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:20 pm

Santiago is not going to be very popular around these parts if he doesn’t hold them here.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:21 pm

True that…
twinfan1 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:32 pm

Huge K.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:23 pm

Let’s go Casilla. Shut these fucks down!

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:24 pm

Fuck…heart a fucking attack…

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:25 pm

I don’t get this. Lopez is ready for the lefty…

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:26 pm

Agree…wtf…maybe Boch is trying to save arms. But if you don’t have a game tomorrow, what good are those arms…

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:27 pm

Ump is blind. Fortunately, our guy is pitching right now. Fuck, Casilla still walks him. Sigh

Salty said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:27 pm

I thnk he wantsLopez/Romo when they have the lead.

Salty said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:28 pm

Besides, you don’t waste Lopez to get one batter with Ludwick up next.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:30 pm

He played righty/lefty all September long, but not now when the whole staff is available?…

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:29 pm

I have a bad feeling about this . . .

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:31 pm

Double fucking play right here…

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:32 pm

Will take a K…

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:33 pm

Whew . . . Thank God for Station Identification. My ticker can’t take this. 🙂

twinfan1 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:35 pm

With Ludwick in between Votto and Bruce and a .400 plus BA by RHers against Javier, that was the chalk call, guys.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:35 pm

Fuck yes, Arias!

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:37 pm

OK, now let’s string at least 2 frickin’ hits together, preferably a single and a HR.

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:41 pm

The good news is that if any of our guys hit Chapman’s 100 MPH fastball, it will go a long waaaaaaaaays. Of course, the bad news is that we first have to hit it.

ewisco said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:41 pm

I hope Denny’s right about the whole closer in a non save. At least this once.

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:45 pm

Another Dennis theory bites the dust.
- ewisco said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:46 pm
  
  It ain’t over yet.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:43 pm

Alright, that was friggin too close for comfort, but Casilla got it done…

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:45 pm

Jesus. Yeahm these guys are good pitchers, but fFuck me sideways. This is flat awful.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:46 pm

Who we going to see in the 9th?

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:46 pm

I don’t think this makes it to extras.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:48 pm

Quit fucking dooming, Chuck.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:48 pm

Like the one pitch and one out…not necessarily how it was done.

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:50 pm

These outs are too damned loud…

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:51 pm

Extras!

blade3colorado said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:51 pm

Way to go Romo!

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:52 pm

Holy fuck. Jumpstart my heart.

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:53 pm

Posey comin’ up. He’s looked bad tonite, maybe he should bunt for a hit 😉
Or, an HR wouldn’t be a bad idea…

snarkk said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:55 pm

Or a single! Does Pence sacrifice or hit away and risk the DP?…

unca_chuck said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:53 pm

Dooming? Show me something other than 3 up 3 down, and I’ll give us a chance.

Salty said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:54 pm

Broxton is just the guy to oblige.

ferrethead said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:54 pm

Please, oh great Baseball Gods, I haven’t asked for much in this life…a hit, a run, perhaps a win?!?!

ewisco said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:54 pm

I’ve been feeling better and better about this the scotch isn’t hurting

chipower9 said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:55 pm

Holding Posey…that’s fucking funny…

Alleykat said, on October 9, 2012 at 5:55 pm

Alright let’s get.a fucking.rally.goingThank you Buster,Hunter your Due!!!
