Except for that one.;)

I didn't realize the balk was that obvious at the game. I do know my dad went ballistic tho

Why is a balk not reviewable?

I really don't understand why the hitting coaches don't teach someone like Lynn, who will never be a good hitter, how to slap hit just as a way to ring up the opposing pitcher's count.

Dunno why we don't just go with a league wide DH, but that's just me LMAO

That was hit well.

Yeah!

Shocked Pence didn't find a way to catch that.

In the words of Harry Doyle, he needed a rocket up his ass

****, we should be pushing over more against peavy. He's not sharp

They are taking good ABs for the most part. It's just hard if you don't have BB luck and hit sequencing. Six hard hit balls in three innings.

LMAO

Nice catch, Yadi, don't ever ****ing do it again.

Not the time for that shit

Yadi has adapted and quit giving up pitches. And now he's cruising with low pitch counts.

But he's just so cool.

Good quick inning.
Need moar runs

But.....But...that the coolest shit evah!

/Dumbshit Reynolds

If Jon Jay can hit like this next year, the Cardinals should have him hit leadoff and put Carpenter in the two hole.

Regarding the Yadi play: Don't tempt the Gods. No additional showy plays of one who sucks the penisy. No mouse ears, bubble machines, beast mode, any of that beer league bullshit.

I desperately want Wong to figure whit out and hit leadoff

I desperately want either of Taveras or Grichuk to figure shit out so they don't have to ****ing platoon.

Is Peralta allowed to do that?

Taveras is the rfer of the future.

He will never walk enough to justify that.

Odds that yadi guesses fastball and takes a big swing on the first pitch?

No thanks. trade Jay while his value his as high as it will ever be. We have no clue or history that says he will sustain this run.

Nope.

That is just stupid as hell. Walk Wong and pitch to Grichuk and Lynn. Out of inning.

He's been doing this shit for the better part of 5 seasons. He deserves consistent playing time and should be the outright starter.

Why?

A bunt with Molina? Really?

I could maybe understand against Bumgarner last night but Peavy is not that sharp.

WTF? Your best hitter that can go to RF and you bunt?

That was so stupid. Why play right into their hands? Horrible move.

Play for the big inning mike

Matheny just couldn't get out of his own ****ing way. He could sit on his stupidity for four games against the Dodgers, but his dumb **** ass just had to come out in the LCS.

Belt high ball he just missed

Just be thinking right center

Any breaking ball will K him here.

Missed it

Nice hit by Grichuk but that was still dumb as hell.

Matheny is a genius!

Except that cement mixer

Thank God for that.

Classic example of how poor managing doesn't always **** you, nor does good managing always help

Botched as badly as could be imagined but it works out. Same thing with Yost across the state.

Baseball. Crazy ****ing game.

The bat should not leave Lynn ' s shoulder here.

just have Lynn take 3 strikes and don't swing the bat.

If Lynn even takes one swing here I swear......

:LOL:

Just try and slap it to right

Why have Lopez up and not bring him in?

Make this greasy-assed Alabama cocksmoke throw you a meatball.

Just got under it.

****. ****. Two hits, two walks, and only one run. You have to make them pay more for that.

Should have tried to score on Lynn's fly ball

Gave up an out to put your #8 hitter and pitcher as your cash in pieces.

Molina should have hit.

No. Peralta would have been dead to rights with your best hitter coming up. The mistake was in having Yadi bunt. You don't give up an out there. And Carpenter had a flat pitch, but missed it.

Managerial incompetence both hurt and helped, and missed execution.

Also, as crazy as it sounds, Taveras as a PH was not an indefensible play there, especially with an off day tomorrow.

Not with the way Carp has swung the bat lately

Carp just missed it.


And I'm not sure but that Molina didn't bunt for himself

First time he's ever done it in the PS. I don't think so.

I don't know, that move is just dumb even for matheny

You can be my bench coach but I still get final say

WOW 72 pitches with 2 strikes and only 2 swings and misses. Thats some good hitting by the Giants.

Hindsight.

No way you try and have Peralta run

If Lynn had a good straight change he'd be almost unhittable.

That's why you don't play for a single run.

These are the luckiest mother****ers on the planet. Two nights in a row of this bullshit.

Catch the ****ing ball

Jeez that's just some bad luck.

Play 162 games over six months and caught balls rolling out of gloves, and missed balks end up determining your season.

Yep, Peralta is dead meat for the final out. To make the final out with Carpenter coming up would be really stupid.

Agree, bunting with Yadi was the mistake.

No one should complain about Cardinals pixie dust after watching the breaks the Giants get.

At least Bochy was dumb enough to hit that Arias idiot instead of Michael Morse, who can hit the ball out of Yellowstone.

Now 3:p

Hey STL fans......**** you!


that is all.

The Giants struck out on 20.5% of their PAs during the regular season, more than the Dodgers.

This two-strike bullshit too, is luck.

I think you can throw all the regular season stuff out in regards to the giants

Your concise and intelligently thought out post must have taken you days to write.

New pitcher? Swing at everything. :facepalm:

Holliday unlucky this series

This is why commentary is so terrible. They invent reasons to explain what they are seeing rather than looking at the actual goddamned data. The Giants didn't decide to change their entire hitting philosophy last week.

And seven pitches from the middle of the order.

Nice work, dickheads.

That was some very pathetic AB's
