I can't remember the last time the pirates swept someone. Nova has actually been decent.

WE SECOND PLACE NOW EDITION

can you please fucking win one giants

>Nova
>Cain

sheeitttt

im gonna need some after the giants lose this game

i'm gonna let you say that. seems like every time you doubt us, we win.

i know im cynical, but god damn it's hard not to be. i know they're still top WC spot, but they shouldnt have blown a 6.5 game lead

lost 20 of 24 games before the ASG in 2014. Keep hope alive. We've got a rock solid team in every way possible, on paper. Once everything clicks... my boner.

>posey scored from first base

wew

I have hope. boch just really needs to get this lineup right. once moore and will smith get in rhythm i'm not too worried

I want to see Law close SO. FUCKING. BAD.

>le give up solo dinger with 2 outs and 2 strikes in a tie ballgame man

I really like law however. it sucks that strick has no movement on his pitches otherwise he would be a great closer. not piping them 99 down the middle every time. casilla needs to go. don't really see why boch wont close by committee when he was semi successful with it a couple years ago

Strickland would be one of the scariest relievers in the league if he'd work on his breaking balls.

>cutch

what the fuck lol

>Strickland would be one of the scariest relievers in the league if his pitches were completely different.

What more proof do you need to realize that 100mph doesn't garantee 3 outs? Strickland's fastball has no movement. Strickland will never be good. The only good bullpen arm is Law.

You literally just supported my post. Why'd you even quote me pham

come on cain dont do this mate

fucking wow

WHAT IS BOCHY WAITING FOR?!!!!!

SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM OUT ON THE SECOND WALK!!!

>also, if only Belt and Pence can be this disciplined in their at-bats.

That was painful to watch desu

he's a cuck that's why.

>pence
>disciplined at bats

*tilts back head and laughs*

fucking hell.

when does the usa mens basketball game start?

>cain

>Leaving in a shitting starting pitcher
Bochy doesn't trust his bullpen this much

or he just doesn't give a damn about the team anymore.

Nah you could see the pain in his face watching that, he was trusting Cain to much tho bc of 4 fluke innings

Hope he broke his broken leg

>mfw baseball

Gotta go to a looooong meet, so ...
