Hoberg's one of the more consistent and accurate home plate umpires. If we needed to have a game without tracking, I'd trust him over just about every other umpire.

This zone looks awfully generous.

Smoltz had just said Jose can't hit the low pitch and then he takes a low slider out for a HR.

That was an absolute laser.

JOSE!!!! Into the ?!

Hit it hard, but right at the SS

Hoberg being behind the plate makes me feel a bit better. I also feel lost without Baseball Savant. I need to know the exit velos and xBAs! lol

Phew! That looked gone off the bat.

I don't like how close the CF camera is zoomed in.

A game like this definitely favors the away team. They get first dibs and can feed off the emotion.

Didn't the Giants also pick up Basabe last year? Seems like they like to pick up OFers we drop.

Of course not lol

They had been playing pretty well coming into this series. I think they took 3 of 4 from Houston and limited them to less than 5 runs every game.

All this means to me is that they should be trying to win as many games as possible against the bad teams before having to play 4 good teams in a row. We might be wishing we didn't punt this game when we're struggling to win games in the next 2 weeks.

It doesn't help that 3 of our best hitters sat. Eloy had a pretty good game at the plate, but nobody else really hit. Vaughn choked twice with RISP and 2 outs.

Twice now in 3 weeks.

Terrible at bat by Leury, as always.

Way too many warning track shots today.

We're gonna have a +8 run differential in the series and still manage to lose 2 of 3.

Yeah, YT is right. The speeds on Savant are all 95ish.

Kimbrel almost gave up another one.

Kimbrel only throwing 95.

Well Kimbrel is throwing in the 8th. Like I said, the bullpen was fresh and they have a day off on Friday. No reason to hold guys back.

That's what I thought about too when I saw him punch his bat.

When did Juan Minaya get this good?
