We got Gregor Blanco batting 1 and a dude named Ishikawa playing outfield. We also have Juan Perez and Arias who are basically professional bunters.

The 2014 Giants have a better lineup than the 2014 Cards. Not sure what you're trying to prove.

Hell, they're the 5th best in the majors if you exclude pitchers.

[Dusktildawn48]

Fuck grichek!

 

[NomarTyme]

Losing a guy like Yadier is huge.

 

[Raziel]

Strained left oblique for Molina

Good thing the Royals are playing well

The Royals will give the Giants a hell of a series.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

That's with you fucking start tavares!

 

[NomarTyme]

WOWWOOWOWOOW! clutch hitting. Send him back to the Latin league.

 

[Fox318]

Buck gets so excited when the cardinals do something.

Buck gets so excited when the cardinals do something.

Really? Cause cards fans hate him with a passion

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Was Taveras playing The Right Way when he hit that?

Bet he still doesn't get a start this series

 

[aFIGurANT]

In fairness to Machi he left a big mozta ball hanging there. I'm not saying anyone else on the bench hits that out other than OT but still.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Of course. Of course.

 

[CygnusXS]

Oscar would have hit a grand slam there with better conditioning imo

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Buck gets so excited when the cardinals do something.

Well, his dad is Jack Buck and he grew up in St. Louis when his dad was announcing Cardinals games. Probably hard not to be

 

[aFIGurANT]

Yeah why didn't he bounce it off the wall and go for the in-the-park? Seems pretty slovenly to me.

Well, his dad was the cardinals radio man for 40 years.

He's still a hack

All I know is our bench is terrible. We hit a ton of homers in the first couple months but since then it's been bad. This is a team missing Scutaro, Angel Pagan, and Michael Morse for much of the year. Cain has been out for basically half of the year and Lincecum was benched. If statistically the Cardinals bench is worse than the Giants bench, then color me surprised.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Wow

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Lol jay

I know.

Giants had that RBI up the middle and he made it sound like he was doing his taxes in comparison.

 

[linkboy]

This picture had one of the oddest wind ups I've every seen, but it's highly effective

 

[Fox318]

68 mph pitch

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

He was injured in high school and physically cannot pitch any other way

It's even weirder to watch in slow motion

You gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Game

 

[zroid]

yay cards

 

[NomarTyme]

Game

Nah!

 

[CygnusXS]

This series is going to go 7 isn't it?

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Cardinals and Royals were just saving their home runs for the postseason I guess

 

[ConradCervantes]

I feel like everytime I've seen Strickland pitch he's given up a bomb.

Also, conceal your boner, Buck. Jesus.

 

[brianjones]

is wacha pitching game 4?

nm forgot about shelby miller I'm an idiot

 

[jman2050]

It's amazing how I care even less about this series than I originally thought I was going to.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Where Curtain Calls Happen (?).

 

[see5harp]

Hunter Strickland has no place on this bullpen. I don't know why Romo wasn't in for the 8th. He's proven himself to be perfect as the set up man.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Matheny had better bench Adams on Tuesday for that bat flip. That goes against the wholesome and honorable values that all of St. Louis holds dear.

 

[BFIB]

Rosie coming in. I'm scared.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

team BABIP vs Rosenthal is an unfair fight

 

[Jack Scofield]

When's the last time anyone on the Giants hit a home run? Feels like it's been ages.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

wait, you don't need BABIP if Rosenthal starts walking everybody

 

[Ninja Scooter]

lol if Rosenthal walks fucking lightweight Brandon Crawford

 

[Triz]

I cringe every time Strickland comes in. He's given up a bomb to every power hitter his faced.

 

[see5harp]

Belt in the 18th I think. The heart of our order is looking hella weak.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

does anyone in the NL have a good bullpen?

 

[DietRob]

Come on Giants.

 

[CygnusXS]

Good thing Crawford struck out on that 5-0 pitch, or we might be looking at extras here.

 

[BFIB]

Yep, typical Rosie outing.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Yep, typical Rosie outing.

It really never changes

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Good thing Crawford struck out on that 5-0 pitch, or we might be looking at extras here.

Ya that was frustrating to watch.

 

[BFIB]

Oh wait. Forgot he usually gives up a walk too.

 

[DietRob]

Ugh.. seeing St. Louis fans happy makes me physically ill.

 

[Fox318]

That looked like a strike

damn
