Boom!
The most impressive thing about Mac is his power to the opposite field. It’s prodigious. This is how you win games in baseball today. It’s not about pining your hopes on guys niggling walks and stringing a couple of singles together. Bochy keeps sitting there with that dumb grin on his face after Mac crosses home plate like he doesn’t understand how runs can be scored this way….
Thankfully the Giants went out and got 3 men who can hit home runs (Longo, ‘Cutch and Mac) and they have a 4th, Belt, who hits them when he swings the bat. Posey, he’s good for 12-15 this year. That’s enough power to win in today’s game.
Stratton is the co-MVP of the season (along with Cueto). What he’s doing this year is remarkable and it makes me wonder this: Did he just take his time figuring it out in the minors or did the Giants fall ass backwards into this hitting on him just because they had no other options (like Blach I might add).
I’m not worrying about their record it should be significantly better than it is. It’s April, if we keep getting this type of pitching, get Bum back, AND keep yackin’ and jackin’ the ball out of the yard this is going to end up being a very entertaining year for Giants fans who haven’t jumped ship already….
That POTD is still up?!? A. Hernandez’s strike zone has actually been ok so far tonight, yet he still manages to be arrogant and incompetent. Wlliiamson should have dropped the ball *after* hitting the mound to ensure everyone’s unambiguous sympathy. Another nice bomb!
GAAAAH!
Wow!. Could Mac actually still become an impact player?
I think he wants to stay this time!
Man, after all that he clears the 399 sign with ease.
Giants hold on here he can make winner out of the Mountain.
When does Crawfish hit the bricks? Jesus. He’s been persona non grata for a while now.
Bring up the squirrel Ryan Howard.
Gotta like Moronta . . . He even looks a little like Yasmiero
2022 I believe, for Crawdad’s exit.
Yikies. That’s a whole lot of spoiled fish . . .
@$16 mil per
gotta hope the D range doesn’t regress as he gets older
and fatter…
NFL: Lester Hayes
MLB: Reggie Smith
Favorite Monkee: Peter Tork
I’m with ya on Reggie till he got here. And Peter. Mickey Dolenz was overrated.
Moronta has been a nice surprise.
Visiting OF Sierra just navigated our “bullpen” like a mountain goat…
That was impressive. Of course, its a little easier when the ball is on ground already.
Hah! I was thinking that, but it was a grounder.
From Mota to Casilla to Petit to hopefully Moronta, they seem to find these guys hiding in the weeds.
McCutchen’s walk up song should be Golden Slumbers…
This guy can’t find the zone. Crush him.
Posey hasn’t been crushing much of anything lately.
Dyson and Strick to close this one out? What could possibly go wrong???
Well…..
LOL
Despite the mishap, it was actually a picture perfect landing…
For Strick and the Hindenburg.
wow tailor made GIDP. giants are fortunate R Zim isn’t hitting anything like he did last year and Rendon is on the DL. Nats seem kind of lifeless; they dropped 2 in a row to LA after beating Opie, right?
Murphy, too.
yeah big loss obviously.
Yeah, Scherzer shut out the Dodgers in that game.
Taylor sure looked like a puss on that swing..
We’ll take that shit! 3 in a row!
8 pitch inning! nicely done by set up guy and the closer.
And the winning pitcher, Moronta.
Williamson has a good Clint beard going..
I love these briskly played games. Two and one half hours or thereabouts.
How ’bout that, no drama from Strick.
Now if the Dubs can go ahead and finish off the Spurs…
Jesus. The Dubs are ice cold.
well, the LU that was out there had Igs, Green and Kevon 3 guys incapable of creating their own shot.
and none of them (plus Durant) could handle Aldridge.
Surprised Cook didn’t get little more run
Wow. Utah will kill us if we can’t finish this.
WIthout Steph.
Pelicans next up man. The Brow Jrue and our old buddy Ian Clark.
Ginobili’s last play is a pass out of bounds to lose the game.
Well, that was a piece of cake. 19 boards for Draymond tonight.
Fish beat the Bums.
You said it better. 🙂
Marlins beat the Dodgers.
Some major-league humor here tonight [humour, for the Blue Jays]
I thought Wliiamson broke his neck at first . . . I mean, third
