  That's the problem, he was trying to come up big and lost focus of the most important thing, getting the tying run in from 3rd with no out.
  
  That inning is an example of why Boche is a much superior manager to Dusty. He manages the game based on the way he sees it developing rather than some pre-conceived notion about who is going to do what at what time. Boche is playing this game game backwards. As soon as his team seized the slight lead, he got his struggling pitcher out of the game and got the real set-up and save in the 5th inning. And another Giant pitcher will get the win for pitching 2 or 3 good innings.

  not a fan of Heisey, but we will take that homer!
• mhs95_06

  Was Heisey working on hitting the breaking ball while on the DL?

  LeCure looked damn good.

  This is one of those games that, if you lose, you are REALLY pissed. It about sucks every bit of momentum you had against a terrible team (as of the last 2 months) after a no-hitter. It also sets the stage for a possible split, in a series you could've had a sweep.
• Azubuike24

  

  BTW, Pedro Alvarez has gone all Domonic Brown the last month. The guy HR's seemingly every other day.
• mhs95_06

  The last pitch to Sandoval looked like a little league play! A swinging strike 3 in the dirt goes between Sandoval's legs to the backstop, bounced back to Meso in time fo him to drill Sandoval in the back as he crosses 1B!
• Azubuike24

  

  Freaking Simon.
  
  Strike 3 on a wild pitch. A walk. An 0-2 HBP.
  
  Now, bases loaded and the go to guy is...MANNY FUCKING PARRA.
  
  This game is slowly getting to me.
• mhs95_06

  I smell a Parra walk to force in the lead run, after Simon "lost it" after getting the first two out!
• Azubuike24

  

  Chapman looks the best he has all year...he ain't fucking around.

  He's knocked in both runs and has hit the ball hard about all night.

  paternity leave not upcoming

  That scared me off the bat but I guess it's damn near impossible to swing thru and fully drive Chappy's fastball
• Ironman92

  

  Brantley getting after the complacent sellout crowd.
• Azubuike24

  

  Why the hell isn't Robinson bunting? I don't care if it's 0-2. That's HORRIBLE. You get a guy on 2nd with nobody out and the next guy hits a grounder into the 2B hole, that would've won it on a drawn in infield.
  
  Baffling Dusty...

  Robinson with an awful awful AB

  Maybe because he popped one up foul then watched a strike go right by.

  Then he looked like you or I on an 0-2 fastball. Might as well tried to bunt again. I just hate the idea of simply not even trying it. It's not like a great RBI man was up. Robinson's 2 best skills are probably bunting and running...yet doesn't even attempt it.
