A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

The Worst Team in Baseball

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 3, 2017

You know, the Giants really aren’t so bad if you don’t watch them. Yeah, I discovered this last night while not watching them. The Warriors were in cruise control and it was nice to watch a pro team I like perform professionally.

My current problem is the box score. I was checking the box score fairly regularly and that wasn’t nice or fun. So I might have to cut that out. The Cardinals game is probably gonna get rained out today. We need more games like that on our schedule.

The calendar has barely crept into May and I’m already sick of this team. The idea of trading Belt was floated at the end of the last thread. Yes please! I doubt he’d bring much but I am ready to blow this half-assed play up. Preferably starting with the front office. Three championships doesn’t give you free reign to lackadaisically smoke the most copious amounts of pole the rest of your careers.

Anyway, try to muster up an argument that this isn’t the worst team in baseball. You can’t. With this payroll that’s a fucking embarrassment.

    Nevin had been better than Roberto.

    Chuck, it figures they would go after their favorite whipping boy, Belt.

    Fuck…I need a stiff drink!

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:39 pm

      Fuck . . . I need to start drinking.

        Giants aren’t worth that, blade.
        I’ll drink for you…

    Color me shocked the Doghairs didn’t put it away in that inning.
    Nonetheless, Giants flat smoke pole.
    They can’t hit. Pen is a gas can mostly.
    And, when they do finally do a conga, the coach won’t take a chance at sending with one down. Belt is pretty fast. If Posey was pissed at Nevin, we should be.
    Belt walks to open the inning and pressure the pitcher; so no doubt it’s his fault Nevin didn’t send him.
    Bochy’s MO is that Giants rarely try to force the defense to make a play — I don’t get that for a team that can’t score for shit…

  5. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:38 pm

    I don’t buy what K and K are selling. What do they mean he didn’t get a good jump? I assume the runner (Belt) is watching his 3rd base coach, right? This is on Nevin.

  6. James's avatar James said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:40 pm

    Kruk: holding the runner was “predicated on the jump Belt got.” Except the replay showed Belt walking into a huge lead off second and breaking on contact. It would not have been close.

  7. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:40 pm

    Anytime.Anywhere,The K&K show will roast Belt..
    Did they bother to get on Nevin? Hell No!

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:42 pm

      I think Belt once ate Kuip’s post game Brat or something, and Kuip’s been pissed at him since…

  8. sandog's avatar sandog said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:40 pm

    I’m listening to KNBR online and Flemming immediately expressed surprise Nevin didn’t send him and has commented several times that Nevin will be scrutinized for that decision. Yet another example why I think Flemm is WAY better than Kuip and is my favorite Giant announcer. By far the most critical of our announcers—which I appreciate.

    Agree that Nevin has been an upgrade and I did not see the play, but man you gotta send him right there.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:44 pm

      I like Fleming a lot, too. Have ever since he broke in the the Gigantes…

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:41 pm

    The Kelbinator. Can someone hit an XBH?

  10. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:42 pm

    The rag throw was up the 1st base line and they deflected that as well.,Fuck Boog Powell could of scored!!!

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:43 pm

      It wouldn’t have been cut off so it may have been a close play but they have to send him there. It wasn’t a bad throw. It was tailing toward the catcher. But again they have to send him.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:45 pm

      Shit AK, our fattest, slowest Flapper with a skink on could have scored.

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:43 pm

    Specs had better stay.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:45 pm

      He’s a damn good all around player, with good fundamentals, and a sense for the clutch. And, he’s fast as hell. But, he’s got options, so he needs to go down I suppose. You know, inventory…

  12. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:43 pm

    The Giants have to cash in one of these times, dammit!

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:46 pm

    Oh good. We aren’t pinch hitting for Gorkys. Agent .007.

  14. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:47 pm

    Gorkster!

  15. sandog's avatar sandog said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    Gorkys Comes Alive !

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    OMFG!!!! The double I was looking for!

  17. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    Gorkys with an RBI?
    Just bought himself another month up with the big club…

      Oh fuck Tom, that gets him at least a couple of months..

    I was just going to reply to Unca’s .007 comment that he blows like Agent 99 (well, per Maxwell Smart).

  20. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    I guess that means he’s leadoff till the all star break.

  22. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:49 pm

    If the shift is on, this is when Belt should push it down the line…

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:50 pm

      Or, get a damn hit for an RBI !
      But, goddammit. If Belt would fix his grip, he’d have gotten a double instead of just a single…

  23. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:50 pm

    Yo Kuip – wtf ya have to say about Belt, now?

  24. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:50 pm

    WTF? Nevin is on glue.

  25. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:51 pm

    Gorky will have a plaque dedicated to him at the Phone Park . . . Well on his way to having a statue near Gaylord’s.

  28. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:52 pm

    So, does Bochy bring Melancon out of cold storage to pitch the bottom of the inning? Need to get him thawing out, now…

  29. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:53 pm

    Even on a RBI hit for insurance by Belt,
    Kruk says that s a pitch he needs to hit more consistently!!πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:55 pm

      RU serious Kat?
      That is unreal.
      Belt must have eaten more than just Kuip’s Brat…

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:54 pm

    3 run lead yes. 4 run no.

    Oh for six for the kid.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:56 pm

      Give him “a day”.
      Gorkys has had “a month” since the opening series in Phoenix when he got 4 RBI in one game, to get his next 2. That rbi just then was #6…

      • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:59 pm

        I have all kinds of patience for the kid, Snarkk. He’s going to be a solid ballplayer.

  34. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on May 3, 2017 at 10:58 pm

    Maybe I shouldn’t say anything yet, but this feels like the other team’s bullpen taking it in the ass for once this season.

  35. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 3, 2017 at 11:00 pm

    Suck it Utley.

  36. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 3, 2017 at 11:01 pm

    Crap. Utley is batting .104.
    That’s DFA territory when the other second baseman gets back from injury. Whatever his name is…

  37. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 3, 2017 at 11:02 pm

    At least the Giants made one good move. They didn’t keep Jimmy Rollins thank god! But yet the Dogshit keep Utley around with his .110 avg and dropping..

    Miracle win.
    I thought they were toast after that Nevin-no-send-Belt deal.
    However they did it, a win over the Doghairs is a really good win.
    Belt 1-2 with an RBI, plus 4 walks. Not to mention great play along foul line in 8th to get Puig at 1st.
    OPS now .863.
    Slacker.
    Gnite Flappers…

    As a Giant fan there hasn’t been much to hang your hat on this year, but to beat your hated rivals, AND take the series, is FUCKING HUGE! Well, at least that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it…

    Fuck dem bums!
