A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Beam Me Up (2-0), Scotty…..

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on June 4, 2018

……Cleveland fans continue to weep about NBA officiating on Twitter. Bottom line: the Warriors are just much better. Their pussy fans need to suck it up and accept that…..

This is a pretty big series with Arizona. I’ve been hearing about how badly the D-Backs are under performing this year. Time to see it with my own eyes. They have good players on that team. I’m not confident, especially without Belt…..

Draft Day! I don’t really care who they draft as long as it isn’t the high school kid Cole Winn. Take one of the college players. We need help as soon as possible.

There’s been a fun game running on twitter lately: Without revealing your age, what’s one thing you remember that a young person wouldn’t understand?

There are obviously a ton of answers. The first one that came to me: a water bed.

    The 4D view they show of these plays afterwards are ridiculous. I wish they would get rid of it. It’s just a novelty. It’s like going to a 3D movie.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:41 pm

      Agree. A new toy for the producer.

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:49 pm

      I read that 4D view adds algorithm-generated transition frames to smooth out the revolving view. So it’s not necessarily an accurate record of what happened. (Maybe that’s why the 4D show of Panik’s slide the other day suggested he was tagged out when other video views didn’t.) So it’s a fucking gimmick.

      • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:52 pm

        Wow! I didn’t realize that, but it makes sense and more important, yes, it wouldn’t be 100% accurate if it’s based upon an algorithm.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:10 pm

        apparently they use 140 cameras and their software synthesizes it all almost instantly. Even entertaining AI is scary.

    Nice piece of hitting by Hanson,pitcher gave him too much of the plate 0-2 and he made him pay for 2 knocks!

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:54 pm

      Hanson fouled it off what, 127 times?

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:55 pm

        every nasty curve ball

  10. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:54 pm

    Buster knows he better step it up now, haha.

    Love the Hanson kid. Gotta find spots for him.

  12. Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:56 pm

    7-spot. That’ll work.

  13. PaulinAsia Banh Bao's avatar PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:56 pm

    If I’m a GM, unless I have some really serious needs on the team, if there’s a potentially very good catcher available in the draft, I’m taking him. Someone’s always gonna need a good catcher at some point. Good pick.

  14. PaulinAsia Banh Bao's avatar PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:57 pm

    Yeah, Zum and Mac, I know that Bautista’s nickname is Joey Bats. But I swear I recently heard it in a film or show. Driving me nuts…..

    Buster hit a 410 foot double.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:02 pm

      high drive too. How many other ballparks does that not clear a fence?

  16. willedav's avatar willedav said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:58 pm

    Um, not trying to hex anything, but Giants could be in first place by time DBax leave town.
    Got a nice thrash going right now. Posey crushed that and he has real power to the opposite field, it just won’t go out at ATT given combo of night ball dimensions and the high wall.

  17. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 8:58 pm

    I didn’t see the game last night, but it seems like the Giants are firing on all cylinders since that last game in Denver.

    Damn, Aaron Judge with 8 K’s in today’s doubleheader – ML record.

  19. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:01 pm

    Blade,
    Posey, Pence, Pagan

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:03 pm

      No Zum . . . Only Posey is correct.

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:06 pm

        Posey, Hicks, Parker
        I’m going outside the box.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:10 pm

      No, still wrong. Again, only Posey is right.

  20. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:02 pm

    Paul, Burt Reynolds in The Crew, a movie about retired mobsters. I think Dan Hedaya was in it too.

    • PaulinAsia Banh Bao's avatar PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:06 pm

      Maybe that was it. Gonna stop thinking about it now, thinking just gives me a headache these days.

      • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:06 pm

        It actually wasn’t a bad movie.

  21. willedav's avatar willedav said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:07 pm

    I like Moronta. He busted Avila inside with 98 fastball at his hands then put him away with curve at bottom of zone. Clean inning after the big rally, well done.

  22. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:08 pm

    Giants ain’t done with bombs tonite. wow that was way in on Pablo’s hands too.

  27. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:14 pm

    Posey, Panik, Williamson

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:20 pm

      Only Posey and Panik is correct . . . one more????

      • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:21 pm

        Was it Parker (who sucks)?

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:22 pm

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:25 pm

      No

  28. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:17 pm

    Was there more than one lunatic here who wanted Pablo back?

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:20 pm

      It’s taken awhile, but the rest of us have warmed up to his return.

    • chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:46 pm

      With Boston paying a majority of his salary, absolutely. Roll the dice! I would say the Giants have got their money’s worth, already…

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:49 pm

      not me that’s for sure. I’d have dfa’d him last October. Making good things happen that’s for sure.

  29. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:27 pm

    No Loo

  30. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:30 pm

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:30 pm

      lol . . . no

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:33 pm

      Duffy?

      • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:33 pm

        No Zum

  31. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:32 pm

    Has to be Posey Panik Culberson.

    BTW. Culberson’s last 3 home runs have been walk-offs. First time in MLB history someone has hit 3 walk-off home runs in a row. Of his 8 home runs, 4 of them are walk-offs.

  32. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:32 pm

    No Unca

  33. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:34 pm

    Anyone else? We almost have a 25 man roster going here. lol

  34. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:36 pm

    Another clue – April 4, 2016, Giants at Brewers and the pitcher was Ariel Pena.

  35. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:38 pm

    Posey Panik Hicks?

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:39 pm

      No on Hicks.

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:45 pm

        I can’t remember who the back-up catcher was at the start of ’16.

      • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on June 5, 2018 at 8:04 am

        Sanchez?

  36. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:44 pm

    What is the question? I missed it.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:46 pm

      Who are the last Giants to hit back to back to back bombs?

  37. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:45 pm

    A RH hit for Panda…

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:51 pm

      yes impressive. I looked him up this morning I think he was at .118 vs. LHP 2 for 17.

  38. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:48 pm

    One more clue. All of these players were STARTERS.

    Posey,Panik&Pence??

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:59 pm

      No AK . . . Loo’s pal Span was in the first slot.

  43. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:57 pm

    Posey, Panik, Span?

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 9:58 pm

      Yes! Yes! Yes!

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on June 4, 2018 at 10:00 pm

        The Invisible Span was the final piece of the puzzle!

      • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 10:00 pm

        lulz . . . Yes, the Invisible Span.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on June 4, 2018 at 10:00 pm

      Actually, the correct order is Span, Panik, and Posey (but a minor quibble).
