Oh god this is going to be one of those Rockies-Giants games where they have one bad inning that’s puts them down early, but not out of reach and they spend the entire game offensively making weak contact with everything causing them to be shutout and the starter to go7-9 innings isn’t it?

I’m going to be wrong on the shutout part, but everything else is going as the prophecy foretold.

On one hand I'd be pissed if he took a pitch up and over the middle to start the AB but on the other hand he's Gregor Blanco so I guess I was destined to be pissed either way

It was the entire game. Kelby (twice!), Gorkys, Crawford, and Posey all got in on the one pitch out action.

Unfortunately, it's only Gorky's 3rd XBH, and now he's only got 1 more walk than home runs

I should also point out that Belt's the one out of the lineup instead of literally anyone else.

Before that hit I was telling my mom that I wasn't sure what would be worse: The runner scores, or the Giants get out of this, because the latter just reinforces the idea that this is an okay strategy to employ when everyone knows it's a time bomb

You know the runners scoring will change nothing about how Bochy uses him in the future. Just like how he'll until there are already runners on the bases before calling in Gearrin.
