  1. Even if we don't score in this inning, I'm totally stoked about Bochy spending like 3 pitchers on this inning. I'll take that.
  2. Nice. Soler has had *such* good at bats since coming back
  3. god. i really do think Joe is either trying out new things or that was Willson's own decision, but good lord Never Bunt
  4. an embarrassment. an embarrassment of riches is what we have
  5. they have 2 good starters, the Nats have like 4, Nats have a better offense the Giants have Even Year [expletive] on their side though so they'll make the NLCS at a minimum
  6. In my own purely facile way, I keep rooting for Dex and Zobrist to keep their OPS above .800 by the end of the season for my own personal benchmark - I hope they can keep it that way
  7. it would be nice to win this game, but not at all necessary but it would be nice
  8. lol well at least we've kept their hits lower than their runs
  9. Lackey amazes me because I have rarely seen a pitcher just throw pitches down the middle of the plate time after time without fear and not get tattooed regularly Mad respect to that guy
  10. 33% Hunter Pence is worth the strength of 3 men
  11. I'm also pretty confident that Hunter Pence has scored roughly 60% of the runs the Giants have scored this series (he is the worst)
  12. the 6th hitter hitting a lead off double has been very unfortunate the last two days
  13. As frustratin as base running mistakes are, everyone has to understand the Cubs make fewer than most teams, are exceptionally smart on the bases and Maddon almost never calls for a bunt. Heck, part of him calling for a bunt in what amounts to garbage time is merely seeing what he's got available to him for the playoffs (in that way, it failing disastrously bodes well for the playoffs) Watch a White Sox game sometime, friends. They make more egregious mental errors in a game than we do in a week. We're fine.
  14. Jose Macias was like off-brand Neifi. funny thing is neifi was a worse hitter by a decent margin. which isn't surprising, i guess, because isn't neifi basically the worst hitter ever? If you can't OPS more than .800 just once in 5 years at Coors in the early 2000s, then, man....you're terrible
  15. Bumgarner at 100 pitches, seconding soccer here, it'd be nice if he was done now
  16. oh lordy lordy lordy something spicy is cooking
  17. If he can't throw it for strikes, why would you?
  18. I don't know if there's a single game that Baez hasnt made some insanely athletic beautiful play somewhere on the baseball diamond
