1982 willie
ParticipantAh bader, has learned to lay off that outside stuff better but still needs to work on high stuff. I think shildt needs to quit moving bader up, I prefer sosa in that spot especially after last night. I know you have a left hander on the mound but wood isn’t a hard thrower and I think bader hits guys who lean on their fastball more which wood relies on junk.

ParticipantWalk the first guy. That’s just rediculous.
July 7, 2021 at 9:04 pm #165980Watching Oviedo pitch is beyond frrustrating! How can a guy go game after game and not be able to throw strikes?
July 7, 2021 at 9:05 pm #1659811982 willie
ParticipantWell this isn’t going well. Our good starting pitching streak is on the line.
July 7, 2021 at 9:08 pm #165982Hopefully Ovi just read the line on his pocket card that says throw strikes.
July 7, 2021 at 9:12 pm #1659831982 willie
ParticipantWell everything that has plagued our pitching this year has happened this inning, almost anyway
July 7, 2021 at 9:13 pm #165984Can’t get out of his way really! I worry about this kid! Mentally this has to be a nightmare for him every 5 days!
July 7, 2021 at 9:15 pm #165985Three free passes in the 1st inning, including 6th hit batter with bases loaded this year. Could’ve been worse.
July 7, 2021 at 9:15 pm #1659861982 willie
ParticipantWell could have went worse, still may be a short outing for Oviedo.
July 7, 2021 at 9:19 pm #165988If Oviedo doesn’t walk em or hit em he can actually get them out!
July 7, 2021 at 9:21 pm #165989I’m not sure starting Dejong is a good idea his bat is awful and it appears to be affecting his fielding
July 7, 2021 at 9:21 pm #1659901982 willie
ParticipantMan, we haven’t swept the giants in their stadium since the old candlestick days, 1991. History isn’t on our side.
July 7, 2021 at 9:28 pm #1659911982 willie
ParticipantI think with how arenado is leaving the third base bag, they could have stole third. I know Dejong is trailing but it would have been interesting.
July 7, 2021 at 10:08 pm #165993We’re walking alot of guys but ok so far
July 7, 2021 at 10:10 pm #165994Ovi at 80 pitches thru 4 complete. Yielded just 3 hits, but 4 free passes. The big lug simply isn’t quite ready for prime time yet, but let’s get him a gob of runs and in turn Ovi will get in his 6 frames, with his maiden “W” in tow.
July 7, 2021 at 10:22 pm #165995Not sure a Lefthand led pitcher that walks left handed hitters is good
July 7, 2021 at 10:30 pm #1659961982 willie
ParticipantTwo walks and a broken bat double. This game could be getting away.
July 7, 2021 at 10:39 pm #1659971982 willie
ParticipantWell still close, need some offense
July 7, 2021 at 11:32 pm #165999Were the velocities right on this last Giants pitcher? He topped out at like 82 mph? Knuckleballer?
July 8, 2021 at 4:40 am #166002Looks like we walked a lot of guys and never got any offense going.
Whenever Knizner plays and puts up another lame batting line I check on Herrera. Hitting .230 in the Texas League. I know, I know, adjustment, small sample, will play to expectation.
Any idea how CMart hurt his thumb?
July 8, 2021 at 8:23 am #166009Taking the series from the Giants was nice. With the Cubs in a tailspin may be catching them at a time when we can sweep them at their place.
This division is utterly putrid. The Brewers are likely just a little bit above average but when you have the Cubs, Pirates, and Cardinals to play – that can inflate your record.
On to Chicago.
July 8, 2021 at 8:29 am #166010DeJong got on base a couple of times last night but still looks lost in every phase of the game right now to me, offensively, defensively, everything. I wonder if a trip to Memphis might be good for him to reset himself and get things together. Can he even be sent to Memphis due to his contract or lack of options? If not it might be time for one of those convenient injuries so he can go on a rehab assignment.
July 8, 2021 at 8:36 am #166012Any idea how CMart hurt his thumb?
I think while batting his last start.
July 8, 2021 at 10:32 am #166020it might be time for one of those convenient injuries so he can go on a rehab assignment.
Uecker has said the team told him the best way to help the team is let them inject him with hepatitis.
July 8, 2021 at 7:06 pm #166036
jj-cf-stlParticipantGS, Cots shows DeJong has all three of his options and has accrued less than 5yrs service time (his consent to be demoted would not be necessary).
I know of no reason he couldn’t be demoted, but there may be other reason(s) I’m not aware of.
