2011-05-27 Giants (Lincecum) at Brewers (Marcum) - [Brewers fall, 5-4]

I hate when Weeks takes that "I'm running full speed in place, end up across home plate" swing.

[trwi7]

Nice job by the ump calling strikes off the corner.

[PrinceEatMeat]

What is Gomez waiting for there? You gotta go man.

[jason21nl]

and Gomez damn near got picked off

[trwi7]

Think Gomez was out.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

He was safe, barely.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Jeez Gomez...got lucky there

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Dude has got some wheels

[PrinceEatMeat]

There we go Gomez! C'mon Rickie! Please, please, please...

[jason21nl]

I would never throw Weeks a fastball.

[theavrock]

Garbage swing.

[Invader3K]

Tough loss. Go get them tomorrow.

[Mr QL]

Rickie swings it everything

 

I have no confidence at all with him with late ABs. At least he didn't wiff 3 times in a row I guess.

[mastershake76]

poop.

 

I guess facing Lincecum + giving up a salami, I should not be surprised by this outcome. But this still feels like one that slipped away.

[bucksman4]

Weeks usually doesn't fall for that outside slider away....err...uhhh....ok

[umphrey]

tough loss but they did a lot of things that made me think they can win 90 games with this lineup and pitching - and coaching with some tweaks

[theavrock]

poop.

 

I guess facing Lincecum + giving up a salami, I should not be surprised by this outcome. But this still feels like one that slipped away.

Definitely slipped away. A lot of needless chances and stupid decisions were taken and made during the game.

[pebadger]

Thud. One bad inning for the pitching staff, two outs on the basepaths. If I start drinking now and quit around 5 a.m. the WMLW broadcast may actually be in focus tomorrow.

[jjgott]

Oh well. We let this one slip away but I still feel confident about this team going forward. Go out there and get em tomorrow

[bucksman4]

And STL/Cincy win too. Makes it even more tough to swallow.

[logan82]

Guess Marcum doesn't like streaking.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Arrgh...let a few chances get away, but boy they do have some fight these days. Sure feel good about that lineup if we see a Plush/Gomez platoon. A SS away from paradise!

[Gobias Industries]

It seems Weeks has been terrible late in close games this year. Use your friggin head. They have a base open with a 2-2 count.

 

Oh well, he was out 2 pitches ago anyways.

[ilovebeer]

bad lose that is all i am going to say

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Remember

this game the next time we lose one we should have won.

Time to take Bigredrobbo's advice from Tuesday night's (5/24) game thread.

 

Enough questionable baserunning decisions to dissect. The lineup looks positive going forward, but running into outs and scoring only 4 runs instead of possibly 6 or 7 will mean more losses like tonight.
