A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Forgettable, Regrettable

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on April 25, 2016

I missed most of yesterday’s game catching some of it on the radio. Each time I tuned in Jon Miller was doing a different type of flabbergast at the hitters and their inability to drive in runs when presented with the opportunity.

A quick check of the team stats? Sounds like a plan. Stats that stood out:

Trevor Brown has more RBI’s than Buster Posey (7>6).

Brandon Crawford has 1 more RBI than Jeff Samardzija (4>3).

Eh, I’m not in the mood to keep going.

How’s Steph’s knee?

Also…..

Happy Birthday Unca Chuck!

    WTF is Belt’s OBP? Dude can take a pitch like nobody’s business…

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:00 pm

      .367 going into tonight…

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:03 pm

      .367 coming into the game tonight…

    Do we have the start of a conga line here???

  3. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:02 pm

    Marlins 3
    Dodgers 2
    Final score.

  4. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:03 pm

    Final – Miami 3, bumbinos 2. Fuck yeah!

  5. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:03 pm

    So much for that conga line…

    Hey, Chuck, re your 7:12 AM, it was 2013, not 2008. The latter year I was busy fighting the irrational persecution of . . . Fred Lewis! Looks like the offense is treating you right on your B-Day.

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:09 pm

    Strichnyne’s living up to his name.

    Fuck.

  8. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:10 pm

    Strickland is throwing some more BP.

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:13 pm

    No, I was thinking of one of the Ray Ray years.

    Thanks all for the birthday wishes!

  10. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:13 pm

    Good call, blue!

  11. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:14 pm

    Yeah, I used to (for example, last year) have confidence that Strickland was going to be a contributor to the pen, and possibly be the heir apparent as a closer. Uh, not so much now…Boch needs to get him the hell outta there.

  12. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:15 pm

    I think he is out, but the umps will probably stick with the safe call.

  13. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:16 pm

    He is out…no doubt about it. Got him on the sleeve…

  14. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:16 pm

    Un-fucking-real. The ump in NY must be fucking blind.

  15. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:17 pm

    No, I was thinking of one of the Ray Ray years.

    Thanks all for the birthday wishes!

    Another case of the umps disregarding what they see.

    Good news out of Portland, Dubs fans.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:20 pm

      Blaze win…hell yes.

  17. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:17 pm

    Umps missed that one.

  18. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:18 pm

    Fucking Strickland got lucky on that last strike call.

  19. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:19 pm

    You have got to get Strickland the fuck out of there, NOW!

  20. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:19 pm

    I’m getting Strickland fatigue.

  21. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:20 pm

    I have a suspicion that Strickland is mostly arm, not much brain. Could be wrong. But, the dude keeps firing pitches right down main street, and gets slammed. MLB hitters will hammer a straight 96 heater down broadway…

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:22 pm

      The dude can throw gas, but all of his shit is straight as an arrow. Major leaguers don’t miss that shit often. Until he can mix his pitches, and get some movement on his stuff, he sucks.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:23 pm

      Agree. I said this exact same thing the other night. He needs more seasoning in the minors.

  22. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:21 pm

    Strick doesn’t get a lot of swing-throughs. Law’s better than him.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:23 pm

      Law is much better. And I tip my cap to Flav, who some time ago said he thinks he could close. I agree. And Strick needs to go to Sacto…

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:23 pm

      Or so I thought.

  23. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:23 pm

    Chris Paul broke his hand tonite for the Clips…

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:24 pm

      Good thing his “twin” sold him that insurance policy.

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:23 pm

    Jesus. So much for Bummie’s game.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:24 pm

      Well, they still have the lead. But the way the bullpen is going tonight, you certainly wonder if they can preserve it.

  25. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:24 pm

    You can clearly see the mitt bend on the guy’s fucking arm. Oh well.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:25 pm

      Absolutely. You could see the tag applied near the elbow as clear as fucking day. That shit pisses me off to no end. Come on…open your fucking eyes!

  26. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:25 pm

    This Giants Pen is really starting to piss me off…

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:27 pm

    Damn. Bad news for the Clippers. Not sure who I want to see win that series. Portland can be very dangerous.

    LA has little to no heart, and they’ll likely fold up shop now.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:31 pm

      I don’t care who wins it, as long as it takes 7 games…

  28. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:28 pm

    All this is on Strichnyne. Osich for the rightie?

  29. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:29 pm

    We need that “Fireman” guy Stix keeps talking about – somebody give us a shutdown damn inning…

  30. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:30 pm

    Huge K.

  31. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:31 pm

    I see ol’ gascan is back at it tonight. Locked in as the 8th inning guy. What did he ever do to earn that slot? Because he throws hard? John D’Aquisto anyone?

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:32 pm

      He likely lost that spot tonight.

  32. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:31 pm

    All. Most. There . . . . .

  33. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:33 pm

    Hmmm…not sure I like this move with 2 down in the 8th. Casilla has not exactly inspired confidence of late…I would liked to have seen Law get the call there.

  34. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:33 pm

    Big K!

    And now, from Osich to oshit here comes Casilla.

  35. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:33 pm

    Other than Strick, these new young guys I suppose get a little slack to get their heads into MLB level pressure. Strick can take the next Greyhound to Sac for a few months as far as I’m concerned…

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:34 pm

      Make that the SLOW BUS to Sacto…

  36. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:34 pm

    Oh shit. Casilla?

  37. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:34 pm

    Love Osich . . . I said last season he might be a future closer (despite being a loogy).

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:35 pm

      I could see it, and commented the same last year.

  38. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:35 pm

    Wow! Nice curve.

  39. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:35 pm

    Whew…

  40. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:35 pm

    Nice job, Casilla with the K.
    Still, why did he basically allow the runner at first to steal 2nd with impunity? I don’t get that…

  41. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:36 pm

    Inning was pure torture.

  42. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:36 pm

    Casilla comes up with the goods.

  43. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:38 pm

    Love to see us get a couple.

  44. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:38 pm

    Rough loss for the Clipper tonight on several levels. Paul may be done for the playoffs and Griffin re-injured his quad.

  49. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:44 pm

    On KNBR this morning Kruk was saying some shit that “everybody” was basically fine with the way Cain was pitching, and that he wasn’t getting any breaks. The Murph guy mentioned that he got smoked for 10 hits or whatever it was while he was in there, and Kruk just sloughed it off and went into his usual genuflection mode. Even for Kruk, it was over the line ridiculous and reminiscent of his excuses for Zito after he’d get tattooed the day before…

  50. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:44 pm

    Surprised so many fans have left the ballpark.

  53. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:45 pm

    Base hit…unless the same fucking ump reviews this play as reviewed the tag play at 2nd…

  54. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:45 pm

    Duffster comes through again.

  55. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:46 pm

    This one better get overturned.

    Guarantee they don’t overturn this. But that wasn’t a catch.

  58. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:47 pm

    The one ump is saying to the other “ready for a riot?”

  59. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:47 pm

    The fucking ump in NY, whoever the fuck he is, should be fired! That is such absolute fucking bullshit! ARGH!

    Ok the freaking Bars are 10 minutes from closing in NY, and these clowns are slouched who are reviewing these replays so of course they don’t give a shit about the west coast!
    Why the hell cant their be review cases on the West Coast?

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:55 pm

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on April 25, 2016 at 10:58 pm
