SD 3 SF 1
It was more of the same anemia offensivia infecting the Giants today in San Diego. Rookie phenom Chris Paddack lived up to the hype and stymied the lineup for five innings, yielding only two hits and a run along with seven strikeouts. Jeff Samardzija labored (86 P, 21 batters, 4 BB, 1 R) in his five but was effective enough to leave with the game tied. The second-tier bullpen (Nick Vincent and Sam Dyson) weren't as impressive as yesterday's varsity squad (Moronta-Watson-Smith). They surrendered two and it was another loss. The Giants score 5 runs in 4 games for a sizzling 1.25 rpg. Oh, and they made three errors, two of them by Pablo, both leading to runs.
Otherwise I had a lovely Sunday.

p.s. Drew Pomeranz gets his first start tomorrow night in LA at 7:10 Pacific.

2 motherfreakin' hits. 2.
That's the title I was looking for.
The Padres threw four pitchers against the Giants that have a total of 2 years of major league experience. That's for all 4 combined. 2 were rookies. Just to get in the mood for today, the Giants are going up against a team that scored 22 runs in their first 3 games.
Yeah, it's discouraging. I mean, I expected the offense to be weak, but I thought we'd see SOME life. Let's hope they start figuring it out. Anyway the pitching was good. I think there's a better-than-even chance they can keep that up.
Hot dawgs! I just saw us score a bunch o’ runs! Like two or three! Against LA! Clutch hits from Pablo and Belt. Maybe these guys will be the bane of LA's existence. That would be fun. Time for the bullpen to show their stuff. Hope we see Moronta because, well, just because.
