yet another shit inning

Welp. Plenty of baseball left. Top of the order next inning.

NL rules are BS. :mad:

MG can beat this team alone! JFC!

YAY! You struck out a guy who bats 2-3 times a year. You is the awesome!

Sacrificed any chance at a run for one more inning of pitching. ****. Tough.

This.

Oh I totally agree. I would have just liked someone else to PH

UGH. NL RULES.

Only 12 outs to go. I don't see it happening but maybe I will be surprised.

It's not very high, the Giants are a pretty smart baseball team. They are ready to defend the bunt there. The real debate was whether you should PH for Dyson there.

Has he gotten a hit in the playoffs?

IT'S A TOUGH CALL. I THINK YOU COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY AND NEITHER IS THE RIGHT CALL.

if billay would have batted for dyson does that put aoki in the game?

He's 2 for 9.

Yes.

This team got here winning games just like this, hang in there

Not a straight sacrifice, but bunting for a base hit is an option there. That may be the only way Dyson gets on. If it works you've got first and third one out and two chances to get the run in.

Low percentage, I concede, but maybe the best hope.

No, it is NOT the same.

A) Dyson beats the throw, 2 on and 1 out.
B) Wild throw and runners at 2 and 3, with 1 out.
C) Dyson out at first, runner in scoring position and 2 outs.
D) Dyson strikes out, runner on 1 and 2 outs.

D was the most likely outcome.

More patience at the plate. The gmen are laying back on some of JS's off speed and breaking stuff and are able to hit donkers. KC is trying to hit HR's and getting out in front of the slow stuff from Bum.

I'm going to laugh next time SF has an earthquake... And water the shit out of my lawn!

PH Butler for Hosmer. Sacrifice the D for two ABs from Butters.

YES WHICH ISN'T HORRIBLE, HOWEVER IF YOU THINK CAIN IS HURT AND CAN'T PLAY CENTER YOU'D HAVE AOKI THERE. THAT'S POSSIBLY WORSE THAN DYSON!

Thanks. It must have been early in

is the field below sea level?

We probably should have started Butler over Hosmer. Too many left handed bats in the lineup.

GOSH, SOME SURPRISINGLY GOOD BASEBALL TALK GOING ON HERE TONIGHT. VERY INTERESTING.

Yeah, I think that's a fair criticism in hindsight.

**** BUMGARNER!!!!

Or anything

shields has had a much better showing tonight

Yost cares too much about defense. I realize how important it is, but in a game like this, we need as much offense as humanly possible.

Well MG has pitched better!

And had better D.

And had runners who don't suck!

I think Shields has been great. ****, Escobar has pissed me off, though.

Was KC ready to defend the bunt when SF beat one out with a runner on 1?

With as many close plays with how the Giants hit on first base, we really need Hosmer over Butler.

Good start!

So glad they didn't sacrifice defense to get Butler into the line up.

... Wait.

Looks like Omar understands the ball stays down on the wet dirt. He needs to mention this to Esky.

That seed of doubt is sure to sprout

I don't think it's the worst idea... but the odds are high you're basically sacrificing in front of the pitcher's spot. Dyson is just as likely to hit one of those choppers he usually beats out.

THE 6TH HAS TO BE OUR INNING WITH THE TOP OF THE ORDER UP.

Bunting for a base hit would have been a fine approach. Shit, it's basically that or tell Dyson's weak ass not to swing.

Shields is money tonight.

I would seriously consider Butler at 1st here for some goddamn offense.

The way anyone, but HDH is pitching in ths pen right now Id rather have shields stay in.

"Crowd the plate and don't swing, slap dick."

I'm sick of these grounders with eyes

AND THEY JUST KEEP COMING LATE IN COUNTS!

All these ****ing 2-strike hits...

god dammit

Ugh. Sick of this shit. Shut them down. DP please.

GOD DAMMIT

oh my god a meltdown LMAO

STOP THAT SHIT ROYALS DAMN

UGH.

Of course

**** the Royals

:banghead:

Perhaps, but he's just not making contact vs Bum. You're right though, the PH is probably the pivotal question.

Just ****ing LOL.

No, he is not.

"Just as likely" would mean he had a 50-50 chance. 2 for 9 says otherwise.

And again, bunting the runner to 2 and getting thrown out was a worse outcome than we got, how?

Why don't you ****ing stay down, roll your shoulders and cover the 5 hole?

Mother****ing lazy-ass shit.

DP OUT OF ORDER NOW.

shit defense tonight is what it comes down to

No more runs.

God I ****ing hate Panik

this shit ain't going so well

This is laughable.. Our pitchers really don't get the whole 60'6" think... Perhaps salvy should setup on the plate!

SHOOT THE ANNOUNCER THAT IS ATTEMPTING TO COIN THE TERM JOE BASEBALL

DIE IMMEDIATELY

Pull him

DP BACK IN ORDER

The runner was already on second. That is the point. He scores on a hit either way.

shit muther****erass

this is the game right here

Maybe I'm giving Dyson too much credit. I thought he could at least make contact there. And I figured the Giants would be all over a bunt. I hate the idea of giving up an out in front of the pitcher.

Ok. DP now please.

One more run will probably be enough for them.

K or a DP here or this shit is over

The royals are in midseason form. Where they have forgot how to play baseball. Shields doesn't look good. Frustrated and overthrowing. Sandoval or Pence might hurt us here

Praising the "blocking" of ML catchers is the biggest farce in sports. Stabbing, lunging mother****ers.

And if Yost pulls Shields, I will go ape shit because of the rampant stupidity of letting him swing the bat, if you're that willing to pull him.
