Oh.....not that it really matters, but the Giants played a game today. They managed just 6 baserunners and the bullpen suffered an 8'th inning failure to ruin a splendid Quality Start by Logan Webb. Key Lines:
Curt Casali C- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .243. Casali had 2 of the Giants 4 hits and drove in both runs with a 5'th inning double after walks by Soler and YtY.
Logan Webb RHP- 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 11/2. ERA= 2.99. I wish we could sing along with Don Henley: This is the last worthless evening that you'll have to spend..." Alas it probably won't be for poor Logan Webb.
The Loss dropped the Giants to 9.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West and 0.5 games behind in the Wild Card playoff race.
The Giants try for a series win in a day game at Wrigley Field with TBD facing Kyle Hendricks RHP.
Are we expecting it now: a .500 team will, on average, win one, lose one...
ReplyDeleteWill getting new SPs change the Giant hitting woes?
OTOH, .500 might make the playoffs.
2005 Padres 82-80, lost 3-0 in NLDS

Spencer Howard? Had 3 good outings until the Angels were not angelic.
ReplyDeleteRemember Spahn and Sain and pray for rain?
They each went 9 innings, not 7 & 5 for the still standing (and pitching) Giants.
It's Webb and Hicks
Then take the licks...
