Sucking Shit
Another benefit to being in Sun Valley in a log cabin next to a river: no cell service, limited internet and no tv. So I wasn’t able to watch that bullshit from last night or receive any angry texts. The box score looks grim. And I’m going to post this now in case I lose my internet again.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Boot on the throat time. Make it crookeder…
Will trade an out for a run there all day and twice on Sunday.
Shit if we tack on a few more I might consider bringing in Gerrain from the DL..Not!!
As for Buster … that’s all I’m talkin’ ’bout, what we all just saw there with the bomb … Of course, he is NOT an Arenado, and nobody is clutch all the time … but … when we are witnessing what we are currently witnessing: consistently strong, if not, great pitching and watching a BP lead the league in pissing away victories, someone has to step up and help this offense put some runs on the board to protect leads and take advantage of opportunities … If not Buster, then who?
Buster was already stepping up, IMO.
I agree Zum .. He has been picking up his offensive game … and defensively he has been stellar all year.
Ruben Tejada??
Uh, that would be Crawford who leads the team with 54, followed by Belt with 45. Panic and Pence follow Posey in 4th and 5th with 36 each. When I look at the aggregate results for the team to date, Posey is a non-starter as far as issues. We can agree to disagree.
And wtf…look, Posey just stole a bag too, making him 5 for 5 this year.
Bochy is big on giving bullpen guys a chance to get back on track after a rough outing or two. Part of that “long game” approach that Zum talks about–and I totally agree with. I think he’ll bring someone in, and I’m fine with that.
I think he will too. I expect Casilla. But if Cueto said he was good, I am putting him out there to start the 9th.
Posey’s SB just guaranteed a DFS payoff for me. Small victories.
I do think Goodman really knows his stuff and has a nice smooth delivery.
Congrats on the win!
Absolutely. Sherpas are lucky to have him.
Man that Buster is one swift dude. Five SBs.
.
Buster stole a base to put himself in scoring position, and then Tejada struck out swinging like Babe Ruth.
Well shit. Bochy did what I thought he would not. Let’s go Johnny C!
Cueto’s just smells the finish line!!
Book it it’s over!!
Bum is sitting there thinking “damn, there may be a new Sheriff in town.”
Well, this is one way to solve the bullpen problem.
I’ve been saying exactly this for a week but as usual here, it gets shot down.
Cueto-nificent!
Oh yeah here’s Johnny!!
Fantastic performance my man!!!
Beginning of the 7th I was saying to myself, how damned sweet would it be to give the bullpen the night off. Boom! Just what the doctor ordered!
Damn. Cueto 18 starts resulting in 16 Giant wins.
The Giants have two aces. That is so cool.
Johnny C. says, I don’t need no stinking bullpen.
Good win.
Well….I guess even Boch, the bullpen-whisperer himself, has his limit when it comes to our bullpen!
Man, 13-1 for Cueto with 4 CG’s. Unreal.
If I was in the bullpen, I would be embarrassed that I could not throw 20 pitches in an inning to get 3 batters out but my start can throw 118 pitch complete game for a win!!
Well there you go … Just as I suggested … Get these starters to pitch complete games … Shut outs would be best …VOILA! Bullpen issues solved!
Keep dreaming my man. I mean it is nice to mix in a CG, but any team that has any hope to go deep, and win it all will have to have a good bullpen. It’s a must. I agree with the theory by many here that Sabean and Evans will be tearning up the phone lines during the break, and we will see a couple of new faces in the BP sooner rather than later. If that does not happen…I will be very surprised.
Cueto thru his interpereter is saying I would grab on to Amy’s chi chi’s if she had any…
The Anti-Bullpen. Man, I hope Cueto gets a start at either the Yanks or Philly.
Yeah, I cannot wait to see how the rotation is going to shake-out while Blade and I are in Boston and NY.
Where would this team be at without our stopper, Johnny Cueto? He should get the start in the AS game, but Bochy should insist he pitches only one inning. We could so use a 20 game winner. He keeps this up and the ownership group will just about hafta clean out the SF Federal Reserve Bank on accounta the flexible contract that Cueto and his agent so wisely insisted on for his signature.
I think the starter is expected to pitch two innings.
Stix – Cueto is almost 31. What kind of deal would you propose (length, $ per year, and options)?
It’s nice to get the division lead back up to 6 games.
Would love to see it creep to eight at the break.
Yeah, it was at 8 before that friggin’ A’s series.
I know…given the injuries they have had, it is amazing they hung tough with half the Rivercats on the 25. Cannot wait to see this team at full-strength. Pence, Panik, Duffy…
The most wins in MLB,
Giants: 54
Back I the day the A/S starters use to pitch 3 innings. Yeah I know it’s a different world we live in, so 2 innings is ok nowdays..
Tell me … has sarcasm gone out of fashion lately?
3 separate times in the last week I post the tongue-in-cheek suggestion that complete game shutouts are the answer to our bullpen issues and each time the response is that I’m being serious. One time, I even fessed to being sarcastic … hmmm .. Weird!
This guy can be helpful sometimes: 🙂
Colon and parenthesis.
Bartolo?
Colon Oscopy … Or is Asscopy?
No, I’m down with what you said, especially would have been appropriate last night. Still shaking my head that he was pulled after 96 pitches.
Actually, I did state it last nite.
Seager is going to be in the homerun hitting contest. That’s messed up a few hitters in the past. Pederson, for example.
Great game tonite. Johnny was dealing even though he looked like he was getting squeezed. From dead center… My daughter caught a ball thrown by Angel and gave it to a little kid. Lots of lng flies caught by the Rockies. Blackmon caught tons of shit from the bleachers. Too funny. H turned around a few times looking for he source.
Funny thing is I got the double cheeseburger with the longneck Bud at Reds. the usual. My son said you don’t drink Bud. I said well it’s longnecks. . $10 now nstead of $3… Snt there a scene n Dirt Harry outside Reds?
Red’s is great. You can’t beat beer and grease, they go together. When the Dubs were dickering to put their new palace on that pier, I read where they promised to put a new Reds inside the building…
Great game report Chuck! Crazy Horse hooked you up and love that you got The Special at Red’s!
OK, I put my Bro-love for Belt into the real world. I got on mlb.com and voted him onto the AS game — 5 times. If he gets into it, he owes me a piece of that AS bonus 😉 …
