Strikeout Kings
If you had told me that Derek Holland was not going to be the problem this year…..
Four games we have scored one run. Two games we have scored zero. I’m renaming the team “The San Francisco Binary’s” until further notice.
I’m tired of hearing about all of the good pitching the Giants have been facing. This is the big leagues. There are stud pitchers everywhere. Remember that guy who shut us down on opening day? Gonzales? He got blasted by the Royals yesterday. Two innings, 8 hits, 4 runs, showers.
I don’t mind strikeouts if they come with home runs. Belt, Longo and McCutchen have 33k’s between them and 3 home runs. That isn’t going to cut it.
The good news is that I’m still a lot more concerned about Holland being a problem a problem this year. The hitting should come….
Wasn’t Marichal debut the 1 hit shutout of the Phils?
Took a 1 hitter into the 8th inning Willie.
Whoops. A no hitter into the 8th inning I meant.
This team is rapidly deteriorating into unwatchable territory.
2017 redux. Nothing worse than boring baseball.
Exactly.
The bitch today is Corvin is actually a fairly decent pitcher. My poor daughter is there, suffering through the quietude.
Someone come here and drink with me…
You have any acid?
You don’t want it, but it will open your mind…
Don’t tempt me.
Is their any team we can beat?
Arizona is totally above are standards which the bar is set super low anyway.
I’m quickly losing interest with this bunch of non achievers..
Joihnny C hurt himself in his last start, whoever asked. he tweaked his ankle on a nurbler to the mound.
The offseason pickups:
Cutch, Longo and Jackson earning a combined $31.5 million for 2018.
Heading into this game, they were a combined 18 for 96 = .188
Blessed relief from Moronta. 95 on black plus breaking ball.
So far this season, the Pen has been a nice surprise on the whole.
But, at this rate, their pitching arms will be like Gumby’s by mid July…
It’s pretty sad when my only highlight is waiting for the commercials..
Hey, there’s this:
Probably won’t be long before he’s called up. Pence is a disaster.
I get this confused – is it Williamson (who sucks) or is it Parker (who sucks)? Where’s Dirt when you need him???
Parker, who’s out of baseball at the moment.
Why is he out of baseball?
Didn’t he clear waivers — he should be back in Sac?…
Giants released him.
So far, no other takers.
Glad you posted that, I was just thinking of him, and what he was up to.
Get his ass up here before he forgets to use that new launch angle approach…
It pains me to write this, but Gorkys leads the team in batting average (even before that hit).
Look at his OPS. He’s about .400 over everyone else.
Well, at least the RISP stat improved, even if no run scored.
Lulz!
Twice!
How do the Giants manage to not score so often when they DO get a hit with a runner in scoring position?…
Shit, Belt gets a hit with RISP and no S.
They play him like a pitcher in LF.
Shit. I’d take the out for the run.
Cutch with a nice, grinder AB, again…
Love me a 3-2 BB!
What a rally!
Crooked number, guys
OK, time for Longo to get something done.
Like, make contact…
Beede off the hook.
Nie. For all his wigglyness he did OK.
Rally killer is up.
Hey! Longo didn’t swing at the toss to 1st! Progress!
Busters sac fly a grand slam at many parks?
Yeah, it got knocked back by the wind currents. Which could be fixed by bricking over the knot-hole gang chainlink.
no. Maybe Yankee stadium. It was about 315.
Evan has separated his BA from his OBP. A major milestone.
Huh? I think they’re both .118, right?
He walked, making his OBP ever so slightly higher than his batting avg.
Okay . . . I just refreshed the Gmen batting stats and now he has a .143 OBP versus a .118 BA.
Oh, God. The ugly part of the order.
Hey! A situational AB!!!
Much as he has sucked Pence drove that plenty far enough to get Giants the lead.
And yes as Blade mentioned him, it was Gorks that got it all started with single and SB.
Wind blowing through the chain link fence isn’t going to affect a ball 150′ in the air.
I read a thing that says it does. It said it causes a circular swirl inside the ballpark.
wow cutch looked like dead meat.
Longoria did find a way to kill the rally.
Hah!
He’s out. Why the fuck are the Dbacks playing so shallow in LF?
Good scouting?
Fuck. He’s out.
Wotus had to waive him home.
Damn, the Giants have so much trouble scoring it is unreal…
No he didn’t Look where the LFer was. He was in about 20′ closer than normal.
Cutch still has wheels, ya gotta make the fielder make a play with 2 out the way the Giants have trouble scoring. Unfortunately, he made the throw…
Well, I disagree. The LF was about 30′ from the infirld dirt, and Cutch hadn’t hit the bag when he got the ball.
He’s out and so is Longo for 4 outs!!
lulz . . . good one AK.
thanks Blade..
That’s a fucking home to 3rd DP?!?
Longoria is off the hook.
If Cutch had scored, WTF is Longo doing getting thrown out at 3rd?…
Was there 2 outs? Oh yeah. That’s in Wotis then. THe LF guy was way in,
Our BA w/ RISP went up again, go team.
Huzzah. No runs scored, but hey . . .
Uh oh.
Osich…
Oplease Oshit Omg. Get through fucking inning…
And there goes Oshitch. Had the batter 0-2, then phttttttt….
Sheesh, with all the fricking walks, this game feels like extra innings already. Long ass game.
Wow. Cutch makes up for the drop with a shit throw. Fuck me sideways.
woo hoo. Way to hold the lead.
Oshtich was nails in ST.
Then, the real season started and he’s been crap.
I already want him gone…
Didn’t take long for Oshit to implode..
Bus is warming up for the Sac run..
McClunker.
here comes the parade of relievers. One per batter.
Gearrin is rocking tonight.

Lmao 😂 Zumie!
I think Gearrin likes to throw shit pitches once in awhile just to piss off the umpire and milk more game time.Hes so aggravating to watch..
Gearrin, the sloooooowest pitcher in the West.
hope the guy driving the bus in from Sac that brought in Okert is still in the parking lot and taking Osich back with him.
Hard to blame Oshit for Cutch’s flail. For a supposed plus defender, he’s dropped 2-3 flayballs already.
And it’s still early April.
You either walk this guy or get him fishing.
Hey!
Glaciers move faster than this guy. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
0-2 count? That’ll be 5 more pitches.
And really Kruk he has another base to play with? Fuck I’ve seen enough of Gearrin this inning to prolong more insomnia!!
Wasnt pretty, but he did a helluva job
Yup. Cutch’s defense is not what I thought we were getting.
Guys are squaring up Oshit like nobody’s biz. He’s not fooling anybody.
And he does stoopid crap like getting a guy down 0-2 and then going 3-2 so he has to give in on a cripple pitch. Tired of this dude doing the same thing the last 3 seasons. He must just freeze up mental when he’s out there. Great this ST like he turned a corner. He did, back to where he was. Okert generates the same results, only with not as good stuff as Oshit. Who was that guy half a dozen years ago or more, before the rings; the LH reliever who threw gas, but got constantly pounded?…
I just remembered.
Dan Runzler…
Taschner?
He sucked, too.
Runzler threw gas, pretty much a LH Strick…
To paraphrase Lincoln talking about Gen. McClelland: “This game has the slows.”
Yeah, the fact that we still have guys like Oshit and Gork on the team is what we were pissed about last year. And here they remain.
Is it true that Okrap got called back up and The Dynamic Duo is reunited?
For at least one night.
Wow. Dubs drubbed by 30 by the Jazz. We may not get past OKC.
May have been tanked to line up an opponent in the playoffs.
OKC ain;t the team to want. But hey, we’ll see.
152 pitches thrown after 7 innings . . . yawn.
By Gearren?
It only seems that way.
Really good job by Gearrin.
His approach is to piss off the batter to distraction with the delay tactics, or put the batter to sleep…
lulz
I bet Chafin was chafing to get in there.
I’m here all week . . . tip your waitresses
Fuck. GO!!! Why are we so bad at taking bases?
I think a lot of guys are bad at reading hits in the outfield. Will was no speed demon, but the dude could read balls into the outfield…
Gearrin is like a fly in your ear always annoying just you no matter how many people are around..
If you are going to sent Cutch now, why not have him straight steal when he was at 1st ? Longo is a K mi=achine.
E-Yeah!
Just like they drew it up . . .
Longoria was unsuccessful in killing the rally.
