Sunday
Can’t remember a Sunday game vs the Dodgers with Bum pitching where we weren’t on ESPN. A good reminder of how inconsequential the Giants have become. We’re 17 games out of first place, I guess that’s the reason.
Let’s do the contest! Pick the first Giant to homer (hahahahaha) and the tie breaker is total hits and strikeouts for Bueler and Bum.
I’ll go with Pillar and 17.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
If Panda plays I go with him and 24…
GH looks like it’s you and me heads up for the gift card!
What can we realistically expect out of Durant with but a single practice under his belt? This guy hasn’t played basketball or done any cardio in a month. And we’re supposed to expect he’s going to be productive? I’m not seeing it.
Giants picked bust and reported 2X positive test loser Phil Bickford 6 spots ahead of the Doghairs picking today’s starter Buehler in the 2015 first round. Nice scouting by the Giants on that one. At least they offloaded Phil (and Susac) for Will Smith, so Bickford was useful for that…
Dude that looks like Spicoli what do you expect?
1. Joe Panik (L) 2B
2. Mike Yastrzemski (L) LF
3. Evan Longoria (R) 3B
4. Pablo Sandoval (S) 1B
5. Stephen Vogt (L) C
6. Kevin Pillar (R) RF
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Steven Duggar (L) CF
9. Madison Bumgarner (R) P
Duggar – 26
Pablo 21.
Crawford/23
Vogt – 19
Mid 80s temps at Oracle today. Ball will be flying.
Doghairs hit at least 3 dingers …
yard definitely plays different on days like this.
Panik -21
Well, tbere’s one already…
Longoria, 22.
Panik showing little respect for Buehler’s 95 fastball.
Buehler showing little respect for Lil’Yaz…
yeah dumb AB. I’ve seen him other times unable to lay off high fastball that wasn’t a strike.
Jeez another ball to the wall, nice grab from Pillar.
I didn’t see if Muncy did much other than watch the long tater, but whatever it was, Bum got PO’d as usual. Maybe he should focus on not throwing belt high FBs over the plate instead of more post-dinger red-assery….
Bum getting irate about a guy pimping a home run has gotten beyond tired. Pitch better.
everything else was96-98. Only breaking ball was slider to longo. Kuiper is right, if Yaz had moved Panik over Longo’s ball would have tied game up.
Bum couldn’t be more ready for a change of scenery.
by the way, he didn’t really pimp the hr. He walked a couple of steps out of the box admiring it. Shit it was a blast, I would have taken out my phone and tried to snap a picture if I was Muncy
Pence on the fence
Pence with the sweet catch and then springy, off-fence détourné! …
dude has turned back the clock 7 years, crazy.
Maybe he’s not paying as much attention to his annoying wife. The coffee and meme/vid culture or whatever that is that she’s into can’t be near as critical to society in Arlington TX as it is in SF…
Yeah Pence on the fence& grabbing the SF emblem as well, nice 👍
Man I would be so “Stoked” like Cody Ross to get a hole in one on #7 at Pebble the ultimate picturesque hole in golf..⛳️🏌️♀️
Poor Snarkk gets Oracled…
Bum’s held them to 1 run on 4 hits 0 BBs 3 Ks in 5 innings. No illusions, realize it’s gonna take a while for Giants to add in enough bats to score more often. Meanwhile, in order to stay in games with Dodgers and everyone else, pitching from SPs (and beyond) has to be good.
He’s kept them in game after Muncy bomb second guy up.
Not counting Buehler Dodgers hitters are 4 for 18 vs. bum 3 singles 1 solo HR. Guarantee this is being scouted and noted by any team thinking they might face LA in playoffs.
there a lots of scouts at this game, Lurie noted that in the pre game radio show.
7 solid held them to 1 run, good outing. Btw Muncy Pederson Seager Bellinger be nice for any team facing LA to have Smith too. He wiped them out in that first game for save.
Giants finally have a threat going and they’re showing Amy G and bobbleheads. Stay with the damn game!
if we keep going homerless we might need new parameters for the contest—like first guy to hit the ball out of the infield, something like that…
First Giant to two Ks in the game?…
I just saw the replay of Muncy’s dinger from a different angle. He didn’t do much at all. Watched it for a second or two, tops, then starting jogging to first. I agree with BF, hell if I hit one that far into the Cove, I’d had watched it even longer. Bum is an idiot on this stuff…
Wasn’t someone from here going today? iirc something posted re: Bum’s final outing in Giants uniform at home?
Dirt maybe?
This SHOULD be Bum’s final Giant’s outing.
Bochy should pull him after this 6th, don’t go to 7th. He’s held a hit happy Doghair team to one run over 6, he’s looked strong. Nothing more to prove to other teams. Nothing. Don’t risk injury. Auction starts in earnest now to the highest bidder and get it done…
Still over 7 weeks to the deadline.
Wouldn’t they have to be blown away to move so soon?
What was the point in pulling bum at 86 pitches?
Bum could just as easily pull or tear an oblique swinging for the fences given he knows his squad can barely score, as hurt his arm pitching in the next few starts before getting traded…
He was pulled with 81 pitches recently on the road and wasn’t to thrilled about it..
Pavs tweet said last 2 starts vs. LA bum has worked 13 innings given up 2 runs on 8 hits with 13 Ks.
That’s 7 weeks of potential injury, pitching for a hapless, hopeless team. There’s no more August waivers trade period, so the July 31 deadline means a ton now. Kuichel and Kimbrel were the only top FA hurlers out there, they just got signed after the draft, Bum has to be one of the top pitchers on the block. More Bum starts for SF makes no sense to me. A fine, home start against LA to end his SF run seems a good way to go…
Bum has gotten his stock value back up.
It would be fun seeing Bum pitch in meaningful games again, even if for another team.
How about first Giant to reach the warning track?
Christ how many wasted opportunities? 1st and 3rd no out? Bases juiced one out? Yaz doesnt’ get the runner over? Ble de blah de blah . . .
First Giant to reach home?
The Giants have mastered warning track power.
In the juice-ball era.
1st PH for Amy G?
They shift on Panik and he just pounds it into the shift. I don’t get that.
Me neither. Panik is no HR hitter. He should just bunt and bunt for hits and hits until they move out of the shift. He should be a bunt machine. Get his average up over .300…
Screw Muncy. Turner is having great series at the plate, don’t get why you run there.
Giants should package Smith and Bum to Boston in a blockbuster.
Do it. Tell Boston he’s going to you or Yankees, how bad do you NOT want Bum in the Bronx…
or to the Yankees
Do teams still care about trading a guy out of the league or is that an outdated concept?
The name of the Texas Rangers scouting director is Kip Fagg.
He must’ve had a pleasant childhood…
In 21 ABs vs. Jansen, Craw has struck out 11 times.
Not surprising after seeing those lame swings in K #11.
His bat is slow these days. Teams just pound the strike zone on him.
looked up B/R splits and he’s hitting .178 at home, 17/97. this year home #s 2 HRs 0 other XBH. OPS barely over .500 ouch
.4 for 23 so far this month after May of .232/.301/.415.
2 more years after this at $15.2 mil.
I like Milwaukee as a destination for Bum. No idea what they have to offer.
Will Smith is exactly what the Mets need…
I don’t want to hear any more media crap about Giants needing pitching. The staff allowed just 4 runs in 3 games, yet lost 2 of 3. They need hitters. That’s why ZMan took 9 position players out of the top 10 round picks. And, 25 position players vs. 15 pitchers in the overall 40 rounds. Let those stats sink in compared to the past, when it was pitcher, pitcher, pitcher. Finally, they’ve figured out with a new GM that you need hitting and runs scoring development, because FA hitters do NOT want to come to SF. Pitchers will come here, if you pay them. Criminy, Flemm gave Player of the Game to Lil’Yaz because he hit a long fly ball for an out. That’s the current game MVP qualification — the out would have been an HR in most parks. Now bring in the fences in right center in the off season, and trade this staff pieces for prospects. They are 18 out of first, it might as well be 40. The turn around has started. It’s time to get young and stock the system…
100% agree.
Bum in the Bronx?
Bum in Beantown?
Or, Bum in the Brew & Brats.
Any one works…
Mwocky’s a vet squad with no lefty starter.
Bum can pitch to old friend Grandal.
Yelich’ll get him 2 RPG just by himself.
Do they have anything good to offer?
Correction: They do have LHP Gio on the 10 day DL…
Bum would have to be jazzed to go to a team, any team, in the hunt; where if he pitches 7 full with one earnie given up, he wins the damn game…
Muncy “:Bumgarner said don’t watch run, which I said you can go get the ball out of the ocean!
Ocean??
Bum was PO’d and spoiling for an early contretemps, as usual.
Muncy didn’t come close to showing him up. Bum was being his usual red-ass stoopid self…
I think he just does that to get himself fired up.
At least he cares.
According to Will Clark, many don’t…
He might. Draymond style.
Thing is, somebody sometime is going to take him up on the challenge, and he might end up with cracked ribs or a fractured wrist. Let that happen when he’s with the Brewers, not now…
Bart Watch:
2 Dingers last night.
We better get down to S Jose to see this guy; he won’t be there long…
And Boch with his usual exasperated drawl when asked about Bart:Were in no hurry to rush him along!
Easy for him to say, he’s not coming back next year, so why should he give a shit?
They know once Bart is up, they’ll have to do something with Posey. Like when Posey came up, it was obvious they had to do something with BigTitty. I say give him another month at most at San Jose, then up to Richmond. If he clubs his way through that league the rest of summer, what’s the point of AAA. Just bring him up in September and play him. Screw the Fall League and FA timing crap…
Well the Giants sure took their sweet time with Posey when he 1st came up in September call ups, still giving Big Titty’s most of the AB’s in a losing season, which ticked me off about “The Boch Vet Syndrome Approach “ as it took to the trade deadline of 2010 to finally make their decision that Posey was the better option, and yeah no shit Maynard,as he helped take that pitching staff to their 1st of 3 W/S titles.Think Titty’s would of done that? No way!!
Muncy’s quote doesn’t really make sense to me.
Yeah, it’s stoopid. And I doubt that’s what he really said.
by and large, baseball players are pretty dumb. Bum is dumb for barking at these guys and Muncy is dumb for talking shit in a way that doesn’t make sense (at best).
Watching game 2 of Stanford vs. Miss St. Entire Cards team all honky except 1 freshman C.
Up 1-0 on HR from guy from El Cajon, lot of Calif players including one from Bellarmine San Jose.
Bulldogs don’t look much different.
Hella honky. Big time honky baseball players on The Farm. But really, that’s most of college baseball now.
David Ortiz got shot in the leg today in the D.R.
Is it the D.R. where people keep dying at the resorts? Never been there, but it sounds like quite the adventure…
Several players killed in car wrecks, too.
Now it’s being reported he was shot in the torso.
I’m hearing on radio it was not a robbery, but a murder attempt…
Yeah, it actually sounds pretty bad now…
Stanford exits the College World Series stage right.
