Today we have the starting pitcher ERA disadvantage.

It worked for the Giants yesterday.

Maybe it will work for us today. :)

Of course, their starting pitcher has pitched134 innings
this season and ours has pitched 10.

Marte leads off with a HR.

He had four hits Wednesday.

We needed his bat in the
lineup yesterday.

Peralta follows with a single.

And Walker with a single.

That's as many hits as the
three we had yesterday.

Lamb hit into a DP, but it
was changed to a forceout.

1st & 3rd with two outs.

And Rojas pops up.

Ahmed turns a single into a double leading off the 2nd.

Kelly walks. And Ahmed picked off as the pitcher missed
a bunt attempt and Ahmed slipped.

Marte whiffs. 1-0 D-backs after two.

Belt leads off the Giants 3rd with a HR. Tie game.

And the young Yastrzemski with a HR.

Leake has given up more HR's than any other
pitcher this season. Since joining the D-backs, he
has given up 7 HR's in 13 1/3 innings. Ouch!

Great catch by Peralta, leaving a runner on 1B.

2-1 Giants going to the bottom of the 3rd.

OK. Which team wants to lose the game less? :shrug:

Pillar with a 2-run HR and it's a 4-1 Giants
lead with one out in the 4th.

Bert said that Leake is giving up a lot of first
pitch HR's.

The Giants are taking a leake on the D-backs.

Since trading Greinke, the D-backs starting
rotation is no where near Major League quality.

Which puts pressure on an inferior relief corps,

D-backs have the bases loaded in the 6th with one out
and the rookie Rojas is up. He's hitless yesterday and
today so far. And he strikes out.

The D-back got their first hit since the 2nd inning here
in the 6th.

Giants going to their 3rd pitcher, to pitch to Ahmed,
who walks to force in a run. 4-2.

Carson Kelly hits into a forceout to leave 'em loaded.

McFarland in to pitch the 7th.

Yaz's grandson gets his 2nd HR of the game, a 2-run shot.

6-2 Giants. Oh, the D-backs bullpen.

Longoria hits against the shift for a single with 2 outs.

As BB said, that's the Giants 4th shift beater of the game.

Ginkel in to pitch the top of the 8th.

Nine pitches . . . eight balls.

Runners on 1st & 2nd.

Did I say, "Oh, the D-backs bullpen."

Oh yeah, in the last post.

And a strikeout. One out.

Then a double to left. A run scores
but the second runner is thrown out.

The disputed call is upheld. 7-2 Giants.

So who's at fault?

The GM for assembling sub-par starting and relief crews.

The Manager for his usage? (In this case, I say 'no'.)

The Pitching Coach for his apparent lack of leadership?

Someone is responsible. Or, in this case, irresponsible.

Escobar with a solo HR. 7-3.
Flores with a solo HR. 7-4.

Who cares if we win, as long
as we hit home runs. :rolleyes:

Rojas with a 1-out single.

Let's keep it going.

Ahmed with a single.

Let's keep it going. :)

Kelly with a line drive.

And, are you ready for this,
Adam Jones with a pinch-hit
3-run home run. His first HR
in 45 games.

Tie game 7-7 going to the 9th.

Mike Leake is what he is, going to give up about 4-5 runs per start.

1st Giants batter singles in the 10th.

Yoshi gives up a 2-run homer.

I would say un-freaking-believable,
but it's not.

9-7 with no one out.

A fly ball for the first out.

A ground ball for the second out.

29th pitch of the inning is a pop out.

Going to the bottom of the 10th.
