Fuck, now I need to clear some space on my desk so that I can slam my head into it.

The first is “run to that base”

Have you looked at this list of pitchers we acquired with that space?

Other than Lambert, you might not want to.

Top of 6th

Houser pitching

Allen - singles to left
Vasquez - sacrifice bunt 1-3, a
Allen to 2nd.
Pena - ground ball to short, for some reason Allen decides to run toward 3rd, gets caught in run down but doesn’t make it last long enough for Pena to make it to 2nd, so ends up 6-5-4-5 DP.

After 5.5, Astros 0, Giants 1.

Catch the fucking ball, Peña.

Bottom 6th

Blubaugh pitching

Basabe - K
Cavanaugh - F8
Koss singles to center

Okert replaces Blubaugh

Lee - 3U.

After 6, Astros 0, Giants 1.

They could win the World Series this year and one of my first thoughts would still be “holy fuck they were a frustrating watch”

Way to pimp that single, Yordan

It really does feel like they got into first place and then thought “alright, cool, we did it, now we can coast”

Damn, Adames had no interest in turning that easy double play.

That was so lazy

And we’re losing to them.

Wow. Giants defense not bathing in glory this inning.

It’s probably still even odds that we won’t score.

Oh, I’d bet folding money that they won’t. It will require putting a ball in play

How about that. A run

Top 7th

Hentges replaces Houser

Alvarez - long, loud single off the top of the right field fence.

Paredes - beats out what looks like double play, but Adames soft tosses to 2nd. FC, Alvarez out at 2nd, Paredes on first.

Varsho - high fly ball to left, Bericoto loses it in the sun, E7, Paredes to 3rd, Varsho on 2nd.

Winn replaces Hentges

Velasquez pinch hits for Wade - SF8, Paredes scores. Varsho stays at 2nd.

Smith - 5-3.

At the stretch, tied at 1.

Bottom 7th

Okert on the mound

Adames - P3 in foul ground
Eldridge - 6-3
Devers - F7.

After 7, tied at 1.

Jesus, Trammell hit the shit out of that ball.
