Bruce Bochy, Nick Hundley ejected in the defeat of the Giants

MILWAUKEE -If the season was played as the Giants' reception waited, Andrew McCutchen and Evan Longoria would lead a revitalized attack.

Hopes have called the Giants to fight in September, but instead, the club is 0-6 in its last month and one season six worst in less than 500 after beating a first game in Round 4 -2.

Shortly after, the Giants got to work and launched a series of free agents waiting in Holland and receiver Nick Hundley against Milwaukee on Friday.

While the Netherlands overcame an unreliable hitting area to pitch six innings of a two-point ball, the marble umpire's area, Adam Hamari, has deprived Hundley and the Giants of 39, an opportunity for a fourth round.

With runners in first and second places and no outs, Hundley took a fast 3-0 ball off the field, which Hamari called to hit.

"It was probably one of the worst strike calls I've had on me in my career," Hundley said. "Probably the most inconsistent strike zone I've seen all year."

Hundley appeared on a throw 3-2 later in the bat, and by the time he was called on the strikes for the second outing in the ninth, the Giants could not restrain their frustration. Hundley drew a line with his bat in the ground to get an eviction before manager Bruce Bochy came out of the dugout.

"You get a 3-0 throw that's eight inches outside, I'm not exaggerating, nobody's out of the way and loaded bases, as you said, it's a game completely different, "said Hundley.

As Hundley retired to the pavilion, Hamari lost little time in launching Bochy.

"He was going up," Bochy said. "It was a difficult night on some calls for us and that was it."

Hundley was not the only player to take the bat from his hands in the fourth. With two outs and a third-ranked runner, center Gorkys Hernández watched a fast 3-0 ball that seemed to miss the inside corner.

Hamari called it a shot and two shots later, Hernández hit at the end of the inning.

The Giants scored two points on five hits, but only allowed three hits in the loss. After giving Ryan Braun two points in the first run, Holland moved in and started five scoreless innings to push his season to 3.54.

Although the franchise's most-publicized off-season acquisitions did not live up to expectations this season, the Netherlands stabilized the rotation and launched as an All-Star in the second half.

Tony Watson was the first to score a goal in the first three months of the season, but Brewers playmaker Jesús Aguilar scored a brace and a double in the bottom of the seventh inning. Watson did not take the loss, as it was attributed to Hunter Strickland after opening the round with consecutive walks.

"He seemed to have missed the first two batters and the walks came to haunt us," Bochy said.

With a non-decision on Friday, Holland must still be accused of a loss since the All-Star break and has an ERA of 2.45 during this period. The southpaw would certainly have helped the rotation of a club in the running, but the Giants have clung to Holland instead of trading it and have everything to gain if they are able to re-sign this season.

Holland, however, is not ready to look that far.
