Soul Crusher

Haha Selig, why don't you sit in the stands like a man?
Braves: 7
Giants: 5
WP: Moylan
LP: Sanchez

What can I say? Textbook Giants loss.

1. Starting pitcher, although good in the beginning of the season, gives up 4 runs in 6 innings.
2. Offense cannot get anything done, even with runners on the corners with 1 out. Fails to bring runners home, and then GiDP 3 separate times over the course of the game.
3. Opponent's starting pitcher gets chance to close and shutout game, but somehow loses control, walks 2, gives up a hit which results in a run.
4. Offense starts rally, ties the game.
5. Game remains tied for 4 extra innings.
6. Relief pitcher gets the first opponent player out, but then loses control, walks one, gives up a hit, throws a wild pitch, and allows 3 runs to score.
7. Offense rallies again, gets bases loaded, but manage only 1 run.
8. Lose.

It was quite depressing, but there were some bright spots in the form of Randy Messenger and Pete Happy. Messenger threw 3 innings of relief, giving up 1 hit and 2 walks but K'ing one. He has 4 good pitches that he used and hit his spots effectively last night. Pedro went 2-5 with 3 RBIs. He had a nice offensive game, but sorry, he's got to go. He hits well when he's on a mini-hot streak, but looks horrible at the plate when he's cold. Still, nice game Pedro.
