Game Wrap 9/27/2019: Dodgers 9 Giants 2

Johnny Cueto got knocked around by the Dodgers in his final 2019 start.   Key Lines:

Johnny Cueto RHP- 2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 2 K's, 3 HR.  ERA= 5.06.  Hopefully between a full offseason and spring training, we'll see a fully recovered Johnny Cueto next season.

Logan Webb gets a last chance to impress for next season today facing Hyun-Jin Ryu.

Kevin Pillar won the Willie Mac award.  He is as deserving as anyone on this year's team and more than most.

  1. Until the 8th inning collapse, the game was interesting, frustrating, but always hopeful.

    Cueto's performance was much like a final ST effort, when he would be getting his pitches in to be ready for the season, rather than what happened: he was getting his pitches in to be ready for ST.

    The Giants, although down 5-0 before batting the second time, always seemed to be on the verge of breaking through with 8 hits and 8 walks received, but all they managed with 19 runners on base were 2 sacrifice flies, one of which almost wasn't.

    0-10 with RISP.
    Dickerson (6), Vogt (5), Longoria (4), Crawford (3), Yastrzemski (3), Belt (2), Crawford (2), Shaw (2), and Davis (2) combined to Leave 27 Runners on Base collectively.
    Lots of guys at the party just drinking the punch in front of 36,000 plus disappointed fans.

    This morning's news was perhaps more disappointing: another big crowd anticipating Bumgarner's much heralded start Sunday got the word that it's not to be!

    There are lots of good reasons starting with don't get hurt, and cruelly cleaver for SF to wait until the game is sold out to announce that the much heralded last word won't be spoken...
