Holy shit. Last time I looked at the Mets they were getting booed out of their own stadium by the 800 or so fans who bothered to show up. I look up now and they are the hottest team in baseball just in time to play the Giants.

Sounds like the perfect storm for a Giants' sweep. Let's hope it is the Giants who do the sweeping.

Can you imagine someone in scoring position with Soler’s single? That would have been weird.

 

[sf1giantfan]

Ahmed to the rescue!!!!

 

[Stokes1931]

Soler has now driven in 2 of 71 runners who have been on base when he has come to the plate. This has GOT to improve!

Or we are watching history in the making.

Gets them to .500 if they do.

In 60 yrs of watching, I’ve never seen that at any level

 

[Stokes1931]

Murphy actually got on base!

 

[Stokes1931]

Winn with 4 scoreless innings

Alonso leading off the 5th: "Welcome to the majors, kid!" as the ball lands snuggly in Hayward.

 

[Stokes1931]

Soler with bases empty: .286

With RISP: .118

Talk about a guy who wants to uphold tradition. Must be the reason he signed with the Giants.

Winn says "you're welcome".

 

[Stokes1931]

Would have liked to see Winn just go six. Good job young man.

But no, we have to leave him in to allow two runners on. And instead of the bullpen guys having a clean inning to start, they start with runners on. Runners, I might add, they have allowed to score 54% of the time so far in this young season.

Of course, Walker comes in and promptly cleans up the mess. "Hey rook! I got you covered!" "Oh, and Stokes, too!"

Walker, bullpen ranger.

Why do Giants closers always suck ass?

Does the "still young" excuse still work for Doval?

But we still got the W!

I mean, he'd only thrown 79 pitches through six. He should have been good for another inning.

It was the right call. Didn't work out, but the right call.
