Merely saying Kontos hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score pretty much all year and he finally does on arguably our worst pitching day as a team so far. So yeah, he faltered - thats how good he's normally been. Y'all get hung up on some meaningless details sometimes.
I made a post about the REAL failures of Cain, Casilla and Vogelsong who were the reasons the Giants lost yesterday and then you decided to lump Kontos in there too. Kontos was NOT the reason they lost nor did he falter. Yesterday he got a HOLD, went one inning with a whip of 1 and era of .000. Yes, he gave up a hit. ONE single. He got the first 2 runners out with a man in scoring position and then gave up a single. And.. he left with the Giants up by 2 runs. He did his job. And btw.. a runner on 2nd with 0 outs scores over 60% of the time.
If he had given up a grounder to 2nd for the first out with the runner advancing to 3rd and then given up another grounder to 2nd with the infield back and the run scoring.. would he have faltered? Same result.
