Series Thread: San Francisco (66-55) at Colorado (68-53)

I agree with SFgiants55 up there. MOST of the Giants hitters just swing away at anything thrown at them. It is really frustrating to see guys go down on the first pitch.

Yeah huge flip right there. Garko laid out for that one haha

BZ has to get Marquis here.

Need runs. LOTS of RUNS

Giants third baseman leaves after third-inning flyout

DENVER -- The Giants lost the service of Pablo Sandoval in Monday's series finale with the Rockies when the third baseman was removed from the game after his inning-ending at-bat in the top of the third.

The report from the Giants clubhouse was that Sandoval left with a tight right calf. The Giants led the game at the time, 1-0, with Sandoval responsible for that run.

Juan Uribe came in at third base in the bottom of the inning, depleting a bench that is already short-handed with Freddy Sanchez suffering from a sore left shoulder.

Sandoval drove in the game's first run on a sacrifice fly to center field in the first frame, plating Eugenio Velez, who led off with a single to right, stole second and advanced to third on a fly to left.

Sandoval drove a deep fly to center to end the third inning and appeared to have a slight limp as he broke from the box.

this is a crazy games and the rockies resemble us when they need the clutch hit

wilson doing amazing

lets get this done.

how did we score?

If we lose this game, I've lost all faith.

How is this even possible. We suck. Stupid Bochy has to change pitchers every single chance he gets. Medders was fine, you put in a guy in Miller who gave up 4 runs in the previous game. Unbelievable. I'm done with this team for this season.

All that great starting pitching this season, down the drain.

We needed 2 or 3 in this series and we get 1?!

Next season there's no guarantee our pitching is half way as good as it was this year. Yeah Tim and Matt are good but you can't EXPECT the same thing to happen. Plus, hate to say it, we've been fairly lucky with injuries.

Unless we got TWO more legit bats (with power, not no freddy sancehz or garko bats) we're in for more of the same.

Also, this bullpen has been overrated all year. They were basically just getting bailed out by our good starting pitching. We need to get rid of some of the fat in that area as well.

I really can't even express how mad I am right now. This was such a great summer for Giants baseball and we're just letting it slip right through our fukking fingers to a team that I think we're better than.

Right with you. Medders found the zone against Barmes and he pulls him. Terrible.

Oh my god, I hope the Niners having a winning season. Between this team and the Warriors I can't take much more of this

Fixed for me.

Done. Over. Unbelievable. I (and the rest of you) am hurting big time right now.

Bochy's micro management costs SF another game. I am so sick of seeing pitchers who are pitching effectively get yanked because he 'believes' in the numbers and would rather have someone else out there.

The same goes to the line up, how the hell can someone like Garko improve against RHP if he sits every time SF plays a RHP. Also, Bochy's inability to settle on a line up for almost 40-50% of this season really pissed me off also. Most top tier teams don't shuffle their 1-8 as Bochy believes he has to.

The Chase is done. A miracle finish is gonna be needed to get to the playoffs. If we don't sweep the home stand we can all go home.
