Now would be a good time for Longo to find his swing.

 

[SLAB]

Longo just hasn’t been the same since Crawford trucked him.

 

[SLAB]

The live crowd has been massively gut-punched by that last half inning. We’re dead.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Gausman dealing now. Gotta pick him up. Wake those bats up!!

 

[SLAB]

I hate baseball. What a garbage waste of impulse buy money.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Damn

 

[LPKingsFan]

May the Red Sox and nationals be cursed forever

Walking the 8th man was playing scared BS.

Lmao no. Why the hell would you give a really good hitter a chance to hit with runners on base over the pitcher?

 

[The_Jamal]

Disappointing to say the least. Gausman held on just long enough and the BP that's been so rock solid all year couldn't pick him up. Fact is, Giants offense has to go if we want a chance in this series. Dodgers offense is just too good for us to rely on the pitching to keep them at 2 or less runs.

Struck him out the next time. Playing scared of the 8th spot with your 2nd “ace” is a recipe for disaster. Set up the pitcher leading off the next inning too.

So?
Yes, let me face the hitter thats literally like 5x better as a hitter than the next guy up with a guy on base with 2 outs because "we ain't scared". That makes sense.

edit: 5.7x better hitter if we use wRC+

Of course a disappointment following the excellent performance in game 1.…but I think we all knew this would be a battle. It’s 107 vs 106

I thought Gausman was OK. I thought he threw the ball well enough had the bats shown up but but you just can’t give up huge hits to pitchers In the playoffs. I don’t care how “relatively” good of hitters they are. Yes, Urias “has batting average thus he is dangerous” but back on earth They are still supposed to be tomato can AB’s in the playoffs. That was a nut shot to the Giants tonight. That big hit given up to Urias

I’m glad Wood is starting game 3. It’s a good change of pace and he’s throwing the ball well. He also has that good record after Giants let downs. Giants need to get ahead first,

 

[Kingz19]

strike zone for Scherzer keeps getting wider and wider

 

[SLAB]

strike zone for Scherzer keeps getting wider and wider

This zone is trash. Scherzer doesn’t need the f’ing help.

 

[SLAB]

We’re in deep trouble.

 

[Kingz19]

Wood just painted the same “corner”(a ball) as Scherzers…no strike

And Seager totally went

And now he’s flat out getting squeezed vs. Turner

 

[SLAB]

Giants are getting memo’d to the leagued. Absolute BS this inning.

 

[SLAB]

2 of those should have been strikes based on this zone. This is a freakin’ joke and Wood is imploding because of it.

 

[Kingz19]

Longo!

 

[SLAB]

LONGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[SLAB]

Does TyRog go again.

 

[SLAB]

Kapler just blew this. Of course

 

[Kingz19]

Oh my god Crawford!!!!!

 

[SLAB]

OH MY FREAKING GOD CRAWDAD

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Kapler just blew this. Of course

have faith my man.

 

[SLAB]

have faith my man.

I need reminders lmao

 

[Kingz19]

Doval warming up?

Is Kap going to try for the two inning save?

 

[SLAB]

Omg they’re throwing Camilo into the deep end. I hate this.

 

[Kingz19]

Omg they’re throwing Camilo into the deep end. I hate this.

He can swim

 

[PurpleHaze]

That ball home run any "normal" no strong winds night at Chavez Ravine. Giants and Doval lucky! Giants one win away and then on to NL Championship series.
