Game Thread: 9/4/21 Urias vs Opener

[LHG]

Ruf - lf
Bryant - rf
Slater - cf
Longoria - 3b
Posey - c
Belt - 1b
Estrada - 2b
Dubon - ss
Jackson - p

Dubon is on some wild ride right now. Called up two days ago to replace Flores. Optioned back to AAA for Longoria's activation. Called up again, today, to replace Dickerson. I wonder if Solano gets activated tomorrow.

Dickerson and Yastrzemski's struggles are opening doors for more playing time for Ruf and Slater. Hope they capitalize.

The Giants could really use this win tonight. That would give them the series win over the Dodgers and make some more room between 1st and 2nd.

What's with Ruf leading off? I'd expect that to be more in Slater's wheelhouse. Maybe even Estrada or Dubon

 

[Stokes1931]

Ruf is their hottest hitter right now. Which is not a high bar, as everyone seems to be slumping at once.

 

[tzill]

At least our BP is more rested than theirs. OTOH, JJ aint no Urine.

 

[stanford the manford]

I don't like seeing Urias on the mound - he doesn't get the pub of the other high $$ Dodger pitchers, but he beast facing us

 

[tzill]

Phuking JJ. Can't even record an out before giving up a run. Good think we won last night b/c we ain't scoring much vs. Urine and Saggypants. This...


sucks.

 

[tzill]

JJ just dropping trou early. Might be about done with this game.

 

[tzill]

Phuking hell. Haarleeen comes in and gives up a double steal and a sac fly. Now down two and haven't gotten to the plate yet (which won't much matter anyway).

Phuk You Wood, you selfish prick.

 

[jeep99tj]

It’s only 3 runs.

 

[stanford the manford]

It’s only 3 runs.

In the 1st inning, projects to a 27 run game

 

[tzill]

Aaaaaand the double to Pollock.

Phuk this game. Try again tomorrow. Good night gents.

Nice AB there by Belt. Lol

 

[jeep99tj]

We got one back and worked the pitch count. Just got to shut them down.

 

[Stokes1931]

Not sure why JJ was the opener. Oh well.

Yup, KB’s hustle got them a run. Hopefully that comes up huge

Rock, paper, scissors. He lost.

 

[LHG]

Not sure why JJ was the opener. Oh well.

Not sure why JJ is still on the active roster (same goes for Brebbia). I'd look to see Castro on the big league roster.

 

[LHG]

LaStella up with 2 in scoring position and 2 outs. Stokes has to be nervous right now (or about to type an updated stat).

 

[filosofy29]

Not overly optimistic, but I will say, Urias doesn’t look as sharp as normal.

 

[filosofy29]

Wow, can’t afford for Ruf to get cold. He’s our only consistent hitter right now.
