Baseball in Seattle

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on July 24, 2018

Hate to have to move on from *The Masterpiece* thread but we do have a game today. I don’t like playing AL ball but we play who’s on the schedule so….

By the way, here is the trinket I uncovered yesterday during the excavation that’s going on at my house right now. As I said last night, the perfect place for this is hanging in San Dawg’s RV so that’s where it’s headed.

Autographed early Cinderella photo. I’m assuming this was 1985 or so and I have no recollection of getting the band to sign this but here it is 30+ years later….

Buster in protect mode on the 1st pitch. I just don’t get what he’s looking for up there.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:36 pm

Loo, I agree with your assessment of Duggar and I’m not overly confident that he’ll get those holes plugged, only because it’s a pretty damn hard thing to do at this level. Slater, on the other hand, gives me hope that the Giants might have a serviceable piece moving forward, and hopefully better than that. His holes are much less noticeable.

Belt’s in one of those funks too, 1-30. He did have a bomb but that was his first in almost a month. As Flem said on radio Giants have a bunch of guys who aren’t hitting. Chi had the numbers for Craw and Belt earlier, not good.

  Belt’s always had those funks in seasons past, but I was hoping he’d put the worst of those behind him this year. Everybody slumps, but he needs to snap out of it.

    That broad gives me the willies. I don’t think she has to act for most of her roles.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:37 pm

Belt 3/4 of the way to the dreaded Golden Sombrero.
djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:38 pm

Buster’s pace is about 8/47…
- Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:40 pm
  
  By far his worst ever. It seems like he’s never going to homer again.
  - alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:47 pm
    
    You say that about Pence too!
    Oh wait he doesn’t have one ☝️ lol
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:39 pm

Need a quick and easy inning here.
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:40 pm

And some damned runs to go with that quick inning…
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:41 pm

Dan Wilson saying some nice things about Suarez in the Mariner’s booth. Liked how he got out of trouble in the 4th.
djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm

Bet the over!!!
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm

Another 10 stsrts for Pence…
Bozo said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm

Pence? Pence?
Macdog said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm

Can it be? A Pence bomb!
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm

He finally fucking hit one, and a bomb at that.
willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:48 pm

look at it this way. He ain’t going anywhere but there’s only 2 months left in his career here. I hope.
- willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:50 pm
  
  and once again the funky LU has given Suarez the lead.
xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:49 pm

holey sheet Hunter! You should be the DH every game.
- willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:54 pm
  
  Baggs said first since Sept25 last year, 140 ABs ago.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:49 pm

That’s a long homer at that park. Pure hanging curve.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:49 pm

How’s that for timing after I just ripped Pence he hits one!!!!
That will give him for sure the DH tomorrow ..
Bozo said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:52 pm

I sure hope the Giants asked for that milestone HR ball.
- willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:55 pm
  
  good one that cracked me up.
  Hang in there man could be long night it’s only the 6th.
  - Bozo said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:00 pm
    
    Yeah you right, Willie. Not sure I’ll even make the 9th inning stretch tonight.
djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:54 pm

Was that his first as a married man?
zumiee said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:55 pm

At DH he doesn’t have to play defense, so that’s a bonus.
His HR is awesome for this game, but if it leads to a bunch of starts that could be real bad.
It’s hard not to have mixed feelings.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:56 pm

He might hit a few more if he gets a divorce..
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:56 pm

A’s tie it at 10 after being down 10-2.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 8:57 pm

Looks like down and in is one of Duggar’s biggest holes.
djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:00 pm

Can’t wait to read about Lexi’s ordeal during the homerless streak…
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:05 pm

Just what the doctor ordered.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:11 pm

Suarez had the look 👀 that he wished Bochy didn’t pop out of the dugout.Gets the DP , a close walk and gets the hook? Think he could of got this last out..
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:14 pm

Moronta living up to the first half of his name.
- alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:18 pm
  
  Good one Chuck.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:15 pm

Thanks Boch for fucking up the kids possible win!!
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:15 pm

His FB is all over the place
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:16 pm

Why was Slater positioned so deep and towards CF?
- zumiee said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:20 pm
  
  Analytics!
  - Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:24 pm
    
    Just doesn’t seem like Gamel would pull Moronta. I would’ve had him playing more straight away.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:20 pm

A’s beat the Rangers after down 10-2, now that’s impressive..
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:21 pm

Good question. Fuck, d’Arnaud. You want them on a tee?
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:22 pm

3 straight fastballs right down the pipe for duh’know. Fuck me.
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:23 pm

Bunt it, Belt.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:25 pm

There it is, the Golden Sombrero. Jesus Belt.
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:25 pm

Shit. Belt back to swinging at the back foot slider.
zumiee said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:26 pm

The appendicitis messed up Belt’s season.
- xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:56 pm
  
  the new and improved Belt will pull it together
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:26 pm

Ready to pencil this in for another desultory loss. No one is hitting.
- Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:27 pm
  
  Pence needs to go yard again.
  - xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:57 pm
    
    yeah, at least once more this year
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:32 pm

Everyone is rolling in front of us.
PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:32 pm

Need a little Wild Man Hanson running around the bases…
djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:37 pm

Blatant frame job on strike one…
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:41 pm

Hanging curve, fouled away.
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:47 pm

Win this fucking game already. I have a 6 AM class.
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:55 pm

Wow. The ump guessed wrong.

Hah! Suck on that, ump.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:55 pm

Game would of been over if Bochy didn’t fuck with the kid.89 pitches?he had the last out of the inning if he let him finish it,Then pull him to start the next inning..This one’s on Boch for his micro managing especially with a rook over a vet..
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:57 pm

And here’s the Wild Man, Paul…
xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:58 pm

and there he goes
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:58 pm

Let’s hope Duggar can plug the holes in his swing, because I love how the dude runs the bases and plays the OF.
xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 9:58 pm

come on Pablito
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:00 pm

Ground Attack!
Bozo said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:00 pm

Wow…
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:00 pm

We’ll take it!!!
xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:00 pm

Pablo pences the RBI
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:01 pm

The dribble attack!!!
willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:01 pm

line drive in the scorebook. Duggar running on the pitch when Hanson grounded back to mound got him in scoring position. Nicely done.
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:01 pm

When you are struggling the way this team has of late, you take ‘em any damned way you can get them!
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:03 pm

4k’s for Belt!
That’s the golden Sombrero plus the bean dip..
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:04 pm

Loved that parting shot of the crowd when the Giants scored…whole slew of Giants fans, and in the middle, a couple of sad face Mariner fans…

Let’s close this bad boy out!
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:04 pm

How many infield hits does the Panda have in his career? It can’t be that many.
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:06 pm

come on. 1-2-3.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:08 pm

Good win!
djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm

Ballgame!
unca_chuck said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm

Hey!
chipower9 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm

G’night, girls.
- Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:11 pm
  
  Night night.
xoot said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm

good win against a good team. whew!
willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm

Dyson Watson smith sure looked good.
- Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:12 pm
  
  Untouchable tonight.
alleykat69 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:09 pm

Will Smith filthy stuff!
1-2-3 yeah baby!!
willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:11 pm

Dodgers Phils in the 16th still tied. Kike Hernandez is pitching.
- willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:13 pm
  
  cbs site says his fastball at 83.
Bozo said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:11 pm

No 9th inning stretch for us tonight, mark that one up in the win column.
- zumiee said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:13 pm
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:12 pm

I’ve never seen the Panda run so fast. He was digging. lol
- djloo27 said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:17 pm
  - Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:20 pm
    
    lulz
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:15 pm

Phillies win!
willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:15 pm

after 2 walks T Plouffe hits 3 run bomb Phils win 7-4.
Lurker John said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:16 pm

Off Kike Hernandez no less.
zumiee said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:17 pm

Dodgers lost, and in my opinion that’s bad managing if you have to use a position player to pitch in a tie game in the 16th.
- willedav said, on July 24, 2018 at 10:22 pm
  
  Maeda went 7. Kike was 9th guy in there. Phils used 9 too. But yeah it’s like giving the game away.
