SF Giants @ Arizona Diamondbacks April 17th - April 19th 2018

[Praxis]

Oh no

 

[Shaggy]

Avila up again?? Game over.

 

[BC867]

I'm pretty sure it was last series when we lost game 2 after winning the first game that we can win the series tomorrow. Ditto!

Avila with 4 strikeouts tonight. Will he come through?

 

[Shaggy]

Take a walk Avila! It's your only chance.

 

[GatorAZ]

Deserved to lose.

 

[BC867]

Nope! Avila needs to be pulled from the rotation until he remembers how to hit.

 

[Shaggy]

Wow! He sucks bad.

Does he really? I don't see it.

 

[TJ]

DFA Alex Avila tonight. This guy is a worthless piece of garbage

 

[Dback Jon]

Hey TL see what happens with Murphy comes to that

 

[Dback Jon]

And of course Avila ***** up again

 

[Praxis]

Too bad Christian Walker hasn't added anything. We could use another bat with our injuries. I'm also hoping the FO won't be shy about making moves to shore up our weaknesses. We gotta try to make another push this season with Pollock and Corbin looking to get paid.

 

[Dback Jon]

Crappy game to lose. Cut Avila

 

[Praxis]

Avila: can't hit, can't run bases, can't catch pop ups behind the plate, can't throw out runners

Not sure how Murphy could be any worse. He should be the everyday catcher with Mathis catching Greinke.

 

[thirty-two]

That one hurt.

 

[GatorAZ]

Avila: can't hit, can't run bases, can't catch pop ups behind the plate, can't throw out runners

But other than that he’s been fantastic.

“But he frames pitches so well...”

Ugh. Avila should quit baseball

 

[TJ]

By the way: the Giants put the winning run on second to get to Avila. Take that FWIW

And they walked a .175 guy just ahead of him to get to Avila. I know, I know Barefoot is Mr Clutch, but still that is pathetic. The fact the Giants knew to walk DD shows how little respect they have for Avila's ability to come through. Something has to be done, pronto.

 

[AZ Native]

Should have pinch hit for Avila

The most insightful post on this thread.

Can't keep leaving runners on third with Less than two outs and expect to win

A squeeze bunt with Dyson on 3rd may have worked..

 

[Dback Jon]

Belt. Ugh.

 

[Dback Jon]

I missed it but Owings got hurt

 

[GatorAZ]

Peralta is really good. Not sure if he is on the ESPN top 100 but he should be.
