NLCS Giants Vs Cardinals Game Thread

[Remagellan]

 
I can't understand what channel the games are on. Game 1 was FOX, but 2 and 3 are Fox Sports 1? Where's 4? If it goes 7, is that on FOX?

 
Game 6 is on Fox, Game 7 would be on FS1.

This is vintage bad Lackey. Missing location, yelling at his fielders, staring in at the ump.

Did he yell at Grichuk? I think the resounding crack of the bat on Ishikawa's ball let him know the ball was crushed. Only a Nor'easter type wind today in SF kept it in the park. What I saw, Lackey bent over at the knees like Kershaw did a couple times this postseason. Pitcher's fault. Of course, Pence would have caught it. Well, maybe. 

 

[E5 Yaz]

With that wind, defensive mistakes could be critical. Perfect storm for a Lackey start

 

[Al Zarilla]

What the..did they tell Erin to sex it down? Dressed like my freshman English teacher at UNH.

 

[Al Zarilla]

They handed Harold his big word of the day on a 3x5 card: egregious.

You could not have designed a schedule to piss off America any better than that.
 
Mad Dog said they had less than 4 million viewers for Game 2, which tells you not only is the rest of America unable to find the channel but so are a lot of people in the Bay Area and Missouri.
 

 

[E5 Yaz]

Lackey's unlikely to get another at-bat. So, let's see what happens this time through the lineup ... even if it doesn't have Barry Bonds

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yeah, Posey is (name your slow catcher) slow. Well, not Molina yet.

That's awful.  
 
The Cards are in real trouble if they can't win a Lackey start.  It's not like they can trust Wainwright at this point.  

 

[Remagellan]

Did they retire Bonds' number?  

 

[Remagellan]

Where was that in the first inning?

 

[MakMan44]

Lackey and Hudson did a freaky friday thing before the 3rd, clearly. 

 

[Remagellan]

Yost would be bunting here.  

 

[Remagellan]

It sounds like Harold would be, too.

That's egregious.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Whatever Jhonny took made his face all fat. 

 

[Remagellan]

Cmon man, it all rice and beans!  

 

[Remagellan]

That was a good pitch.  

 

[johnmd20]

Cards, god damn Cards. Never give up, never lay down.

 

[Remagellan]

WONG!  

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

If you thought that Kolten Wong would be current MVP of the NLCS, please go, run, don't walk, to your nearest lottery agent.

 

[MakMan44]

Cards, god damn Cards. Never give up, never lay down.

Except for AJP

 

[Remagellan]

I'm not sure that an injured Yadi wouldn't be better offensively than a healthy AJP.

One of our members told us he was good, and a good kid. 

 

[Spacemans Bong]

Did they retire Bonds' number?  

 

No but they will the second he's in the Hall of Fame. Nobody's going to wear it before then, unless Nikolai Bonds is a major leaguer.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

who was it, I have some , um, questions to ask, lol

 

[Remagellan]

Well at least we have a game.

Blanco and Panik have mostly been a black hole of suck this series.

Blanco is a 4th OF at best.  The Giants not having Pagan is a major blow.  

 

[Lowrielicious]

That never gets old! But I am thrilled for Kolten Wong. Been watching him play since high school. Another Hawaii kid!

Going by minor league numbers and his debut this year (after the initial false start and getting sent back down) he looks legit to me. Could be 15HR, 30+ steals level player. If he can push the OBP towards his minor league numbers then he is a stud.

 

[MakMan44]

Come on, you don't know the jerk who lives in Hawaii and brags about it, like, all the time? 
 
Just kidding, mauidano. 

 

[Remagellan]

This game is moving quickly.  

 

[Al Zarilla]

Blanco had a real good second half for him, but has gone cold now.

 

[Remagellan]

Lackey should leave the bat on his shoulder now.  

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wong got Lackey another at-bat

 

[nattysez]

Hudson hits Lackey.  Get Petit up now.  

 

[Remagellan]

That was a good at-bat by Lackey.  

 

[Al Zarilla]

Babe Carpenter up.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Blanco would be white hole, no?

 

[MakMan44]

Weird throw by Crawford but it works. 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Shot of Hudson's wife there after the DP I think, but the booth is clueless. 

 

[E5 Yaz]

Big call coming for Bochy here. Hudson at 73 pitches, with the heart of the order coming up for StL next inning

 

[E5 Yaz]

Shot of Hudson's wife there after the DP I think, but the booth is clueless. 

 
Harold: "I'd hit it"

 

[Remagellan]

I think both pitchers have to be on short leashes here.  

 

[Al Zarilla]

 
Harold: "I'd hit it"

Hudson shoot him in the back? One way to get rid of Harold. 

 

[nattysez]

I think both pitchers have to be on short leashes here.  

 
Totally agree.

 

[MakMan44]

Panda missed a cookie there

 

[Al Zarilla]

Harold making up phrases as he goes along. Let the dogs fly.

 

[mauidano]

One of our members told us he was good, and a good kid. 

That would be me.  He was a beast though out high school, college and the minors.  He's gonna be a star.

 

[mauidano]

Interviews with players wives...nothing else to talk about?  C'mon Erin.
