A leadoff single by Dyson and a run scoring double by Flores.

After a 1-2-3 inning by Clarke to start the game.

Webb is pitching. The rookie for the Giants, of course.

Runner on 3rd with one out for Peralta, who strikes out.

Jones with a hit to deep 3B to drive in the second run.
They're calling it an error, but that could change.

Flores decided to go for style points on the throw to second. Now2 on no outs.

Giants have them loaded with no out in the top of the second on a seeing eye blooper.

Flores' casual backhand toss to try to start a DP resulting in an error
symbolizes the sloppy fielding that seems to have taken over the D-Backs.

Clarke made eleven pitches in the 1st inning.

And now over 30 with no one out in the 2nd.

And Flores, following a good catch on a grounder
at 2B throws another one away.

The D-backs are in a funk! Someone needs to
shake up this team.

And the bases are loaded again. 1 out.

5 of the last 6 Giants hitters have base hits.

A long sac fly makes it 5-2. Runners on 1st & 3rd.

The Giants have batted around. Clarke is at 53 pitches
after 1 2/3 innings and is gone. Andriese is in.

Even a good bullpen couldn't withstand this kind of
starting pitching.

Clarke doesn't belong in the majors. Such a disappointment. I really hope they bring in new arms for next year.

It is not going to be easy to watch this whole game,
especially after the false hopes yesterday.

Huh, AZ and Az?

What was with Flores and his showboat flip? We need fundamental baseball not “look at me” plays. That was uncalled for and he needs to be told so.

The D-backs go down 1-2-3.

We probably won't get another hit for
4 or 5 innings.

Y'know, like last night?

I've been criticized for questioning Torey's approach.

A very flacid approach to competition sports.

Just listen to his interviews.

I'm not happy that it is becoming more obvious.

It is not just the incompetent pitching staff.

It is weak leadership by the manager and his
coaches. Time is catching up with them.

A balk by Andriese. Fundamentals, guys, fundamentals.

And Belt singles him home. 6-2 Giants.

People still defend Torey though. The guy is too busy trying to make everyone happy. He just doesn't have a big enough presence to command discipline.

And Andriese walks the pitcher on four pitches.

Pitching around the pitcher, are we? :shrug:
