The Team Stayed Together! YAAYYY!!!! Now What?
As we enter August, we now might have to helplessly watch the slow implosion of our young pitchers. DRod is a mess, I’m not really talking about him. But Shaun Anderson and Black Shoes Beede, 2 guys who must pitch well if we are going to keep the dream of .700 ball alive, are headed into some uncharted dog days. Anderson pitched 141 innings in 2018 and 109.2 so far this year, Beede only 87 innings last year, 104.2 this year. The good news there is that the Giants have never been too keen on limiting young pitchers innings, although that could change with Young Z at the helm. We shall see.
I read Kat at the end of the last thread saying Pillar hasn’t had a day off since June 11. The way that guy plays? Absolutely criminal and negligent of Bochy to do that.
I thought the last trip through Colorado would go poorly and they swept. For some reason we are right back in Nepal. Pretty quick turnaround. This one looks ominous…..
Here’s the list . . . shortest 1st baseman is some dude named Charlie Dexter. Some weird shit that Baseball Reference catalogs.

Thanks Blade for finding that! That’s a long list of midgets manning 1B over the years..
Scooter-bye!
Scooter welcome to the HR club in SF!!
Scooty!
That’s the perfect start for Madbum to get early run support for a change..
Panik back at hotel:
Well I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know if all be back again…
Yeah, he might want to change the last letter of his name to a c.
WTF Duggar?
vanilla triangle strikes again.
Nice grab by Slater though. Just can’t give Rox extra outs here.
Jesus Duggar pull your head out of your ass!
Duggar better stay clear of Bum in the dugout ..
Vogt’s gonna get that run back for us…
half way there!
gonna take more than 4 runs to win this game. Giants have let Gray off the hook since big inning.
Bum helps himself.
I think Duggar had trouble with the sun on the missed fly. There was bright reflection on his sunglasses.
2 on no outs they better add on this inning..
I guess in this park you don’t even consider a sac bunt…
Too bad…
Yeah the Sac bunt would of been nice now,beats a DP.Unbelievable how shitty that inning turned out..
Too many ground ball outs with guys on tonight.
And there it goes. Knew Rox were gonna get some more with top of LU getting couple more ABs each.
That was almost a guarantee after the screwed up..
Blehhhhh! This team can’t get rid of Crawfish fast enough.
Oh fuck me sideways.
Pathetic. Scooter blew that shit.
Maybe Panik can unpack that suitcase 🧳 after all..
Two gift runs so far . . . hey, Duggar saves a couple.
Jesus. Fucking awful. July looks like the anomaly
They just can’t help themselves.They just can’t put a team away with their many opportunities..
Predictable
Huh a foot inside is a strike. I want belt to swing, but shit…
This is an important fuckin’ game…
jeez this chump hitting .216 with the .575 OPS steps out after every pitch to adjust the batting gloves tap the spikes set the back foot in the box yada yada. If this wasn’t close game they should buzz this fool.
Is Blackmon up every inning?
Yep, DJ. They need this one, esp after blowing a 4 run lead.
fuck fuck fuck fuck
Fucking A, that chump was all over the place and 3-0 need that tying run at second and they give Crawgump the fucking green light!! Fucking stupid!!!
What a frustrating game, chances every inning and zilch since the 1st.
Sure is.
Good game to pause and jerk off quick just to right yourself…
To Loo:
Huh?
OSF
there it is toots singing Pressure Drop on Coors commercial
wow
Alright Buster!
yeah the pressure gonna drop on you! Posey doubles Giants retake lead
Great AB by Posey!
Jerking off works!
Great AB for Buster!!
Maybe his best hit of the year!
I feel less tension Loo..
Is that Sam Howard or Moe Howard?

This team just can’t ever make it easy.
Yeah time to pull some more hair..
Of course.
That pitch must’ve looked like a fuckin’ watermelon to Hampson…
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
No way they resign Watson. Not sure he can last 2 more months.
Jeeeeeebus.
Huge pickoff are we’re tied up..
fucking torture.
I just got in from 11 motherfucking hours of driving, fuck that shit I’m too big to drive that many hours straight. Would be nice to finish this long ass day off with a win or my thread tomorrow is going to be extra salty.
That is nuts.
You can’t be doin’ that, Flavor…
Oh I be doin’ that. Woke up this morning, felt like I needed to get back into my routine, said “fuck it” and left a day early and came straight home instead of stopping in Reno.
When I was younger I did the 14 hour drive to Seattle a few times. Wouldn’t want to do it nowadays.
How long has Posey been holding the bat straight up like that?
Posey rolling one to third. Has this been the norm?
Uh you missed something pretty important earlier.
I’m basing my entire opinion about Belt’s SF career on this one at bat
Pathetic. Fuck him.
Goddam you Belt!!
Yup. The ONE time you want him to work the count for a walk, he pops out.
slumpy shouldered fuck
Will better be on his feed tonight.
Longest drive for me was SF to Aspen, Colo. 22 hours, with a little assistance.
Heh heh. No needles. Just some bumps to get to the ski area.
Yeah baby grab some pine meat..
It has to be fucking Giant killer Story.
I drove 17 hours twice 2 grueling runs..
Bay Area to Salmon Idaho
Bay Area to Anacortes Washington
Well that was huge!!
Come on 1 more Will!!!!
man the awesome back foot slider to K Story (who kills us). Still one big one to get.
why is Arenado always up with game on the line?
Yeah did a lot of 15-18 hour drives to Utah and Idaho, and a horrific 15 hour drive from Roseville to Palm Springs.
Feels like a Rob Nen inning right now….
More like B Weezy
Or a Jeff Brantley…
Shooter even
t o r t u r e o n c e a g a i n
Wow. Those sliders were pretty fuking money.
WHEW!
Yeah! Murph had hurt them earlier too.
Resign Smith for next year? who else can close?
Oh hell yeah! My god torture!!
Way to out last the Rocks.
Hell of a win. Tomorrow’s post will be +. Ok, fuck this I gotta go lay down and sleep some. I can’t feel part of my ass and my left foot is swollen.
As much as I am sad we didn’t trade anything and everything of value I do enjoy games like this, games that matter.
Btw Vogt and Posey tonight:
3 for 6 plus a walk 2 doubles (1 each)
2 rbis both Posey game winner
This is a position of strength
work on some of the others this off season pls mr. Z
wasn’t easy but 4 shutout innings from pen. coonrod gets win #1/smith save #27
Gerardo Parra pitched the 9th — or tried to — in the Nats’ blowout loss to the D-Backs, but gave up 5 runs on 1 hit and 4 walks without getting an out. His ERA is listed as -.–.
