Raise your hand if you’re still annoyed about the end of last night’s game?
Good. So am I. But you know what? I’m almost more annoyed that it took the team 17 innings to remember how to hit the baseball, let alone score a single run. There was talk after the game about how it was such a good sign that their offense was coming to life in the ninth inning; that it meant that they were getting things going in the right direction.
Let’s review that inning, shall we? Evan Longoria solo home run: Awesome! But two of the plate appearances that resulted in loading the bases for the Giants were a walk by Steven Duggar, and Erik Kratz getting hit by a pitch.
