Solid Win
Sarge would have a tough time talking Diggity into sitting in these sits which aren’t nearly the mile away from the field they need to be for him to sign off with a knowing dude head nod:
Good to see some of the Flap vets showing up for the stretch run.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
As far as I know, the top of the car has never robbed anyone of an HR. But it will likely happen someday.
Sarge was almost sitting on the field of play. Great seat!
We missed Sarge by a game????
I’m so jacked up for today’s game…will be right field arcade…
Are you gonna be the guy who slides the K’s into the slots in quirky backwards and/or upside down fashion?
I did not know that was a random fan thing….too much work:)
GH have fun it should be live out there. HR Bailey is pitching, Vogt Yaz Gennett should be back in LU, day game and as I’m sure you can tell it’s been hot in Bay Area, even for SF.
See if whoever is in RF tosses a ball your way after they finish the btw innings warm up throws.
Yeah I had a beautiful day in Santa Cruz and then spent the night in a very warm San Jose…the old days at the Stick we would have been in the bleachers shirts off getting a tan…may have to revive the glory years..
I think Jeff Kent got robbed of a homer once. He hated this cars.
Those are great seats too
I think the intended slur of Fredo Cuomo was a jibe at him being the lesser brother in the family like Fredo Corleone..the Dems would be better off running Gov. Cuomo in 2020. I think he would be a real threat.
My boys here in the Bay Area did a twice a year campout in Half Moon Bay. I attended a few years ago and after about 8 hours of drinking, they always arranged a pickup of about 30 Round Table pizzas to go and they were phenomanal!!! But I grew up on Mountain Mike’s as the go to…
Yeah have a great time out their GH(1st time?) it’s going to be a cooker out there🥵stay hydrated I recommend plenty of beers 🍻 lol 😂..Go Giants!!
3rd game at New Stick…1-1 last two from 2003…I’m driving so not more than 6 beers…
I kid…drinking after the game at friend’s barbecue in the Jo…
? for those who have been to day games at the O: what I remember about Stick was that as sun shifted from 3b to 1b, if you sat in 3b side in shadows plus the wind. the temperature dropped dramatically by late game. Anyone who showed up in tee shirt/shorts quickly got dose of reality of difference from south bay (90 degrees) and SF (70s at best) summer day.
So what happens at the O?
So true wd… as a high school kid went a Sunday double header and was down third base line but second section and we froze our asses off but Giants won and then second game we said f this and Sat in the upper deck CF and if those remember that view, you were a long way off to barely seeing the hitter but we were warm.
But that then led to getting autographs in the players lot of Max Venable (driving a shitty VW bug) and Chili Davis and my famous moment of Chili telling my buddy who was desperately looking for Chili’s picture in the program guide that he was “up shit’s creek” if he could not find the picture. Classic memory!!!
Hot at the Yard. A‘s can bomb. Beede hurling. Uh oh…
The lower seats are fairly protected from the wind, which usually blows west to east.
I don’t want this to come across wrong but is sarge E-40??
No, he’s a little older than me. He was sitting on the home side next to Larry Baer. I was on the visitors side, but nearly in the same seats.
I actually have no idea how you get the job of quirky K uploader. I just thought it was funny to think of you being the one to do it.
Maybe I pull a Flav and push anyone who dares and get in my way of being the K Guy!!!
Orioles have lost 15 straight to Yanks. Great Yard, bad team. I’ll hand it to Os fans that still go to the games….
Isn’t that a short trek for Yanks fans to invade Baltimore and take it over too?
GH, Black Shoes, old core fucks, and I will bring the sweep home.
record heat in SF today, ball should be flying.
Sweet win last night, and definitely a feel of 2010 torture there at the end. Not feeling great about today. A’s can bash with the best of them, and Beede hasn’t been great of late…most of his shit has looked like “hit me batting practice stuff.” Hoping for a surprise and a two game sweep.
Have fun GHead. Bring us a win, bro!
Meaty Beede does fine until something goes awry. Like a walk, an error, or a hit given up. Then he gets cute and nibbly and the wheels fly off, it seems. He needs to nut up and gut through the trouble. He’s 26 now so he should be past this point in his development.
Yeah…I just seem to recall him getting too much of the plate of late, especially in situations where he has runners on. Dude needs to keep the ball down and work the corners more, IMO.
And STOP walking opponent pitchers, it always leads to disaster!! Once Beede does that it completely loses focus cause he’s pissed and loses focus..
Yaz, Gennet, and Vogt back in the line-up. Let’s go Giants!
1. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
2. Mike Yastrzemski (L) LF
3. Evan Longoria (R) 3B
4. Stephen Vogt (L) C
5. Scooter Gennett (L) 2B
6. Kevin Pillar (R) CF
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Austin Slater (R) RF
9. Tyler Beede (R) P
“the Dems would be better off running Gov. Cuomo in 2020. I think he would be a real threat.”
I think there are several different candidates that could defeat the sociopathic traitor.
I’m not a stock market person, but I’m guessing that when the Dow goes down 700 points, that’s a pretty bad day.
Has the Dick been activated? Is he on today’s roster?
Speaking of record-breaking heat….in regards to climate change, and global warming, the status of the Giants’ ballpark, and San Francisco in general, is going to be challenging later in the century. The ballpark, of course, is right at the water line. I guess coastal cities will be trying to build massive sea walls or something. Water is so relentless and powerful, though. There will be an ugly sandbag phase at first, probably. That won’t look so cool on TV.
According to Giants web site, Pablo to the IL, and Dickerson activated. Rosters on the site have not been updated and I do not see Dick on what is currently posted.
Whats wrong with Pablo?
Snarkk..Panda has inflammation in his right elbow that’s flared up.
Thanks, Kat
Loose particles in the elbow is what I have heard, snarkk.
Flav text me at 202.641.1173 and will send pics…
I sent him a couple of pics already.
Speaking of sea walls and high water levels, The Windup Girl is an interesting sci-fi novel set in 23rd century Thailand that depicts Bangkok in a flooded state, even with a huge sea wall beyond which no one can go. The windup girl herself is sort of a hybrid of human and technology. Didn’t really like the characters except for the windup girl, she was pretty cool, but picturing Bangkok (a city I know fairly well) underwater in parts was interesting. Maybe not all that far off, and not all that much fiction someday…..
Windup Girl is one of the best SF books recently, says me.
High 70s at the Park. That means Homer weather, and I mean to include Bailey. Giants should tee off on this chump…
Beede can’t even get outta the first without giving up a dinger…
Yeah wouldn’t you rather be a hitter named Homer then a pitcher?
Looks like Arieta out for season with elbow surgery on bone chips…
It was a cheap hit by Bailey, but Beede always has trouble getting the pitcher out.
Fucking Beede. Same shit, different day. Gives up a hit to the opposing pitcher. Time for Beede to get on the bus to Sactown…pfffftttt…
.
Jeezus a Homer swinging bunt for an RBI!, freakin 47 pitches already Beede won’t last long in the heat with that going forward..
Johnny Shimmy…Paging Johnny Shimmy…
Nice work Beede you fuck,0-2 can’t waste a pitch gives up a lead off double then hits the next guy wtf!!
Unbelievable shit! Go pull his Ass!!
That was drilled by Olson…off the wall to our left
Yeah Olson would look great in orange&black,give the A’s Belt&Beede right now lol 😂
Giants and especially Beede look lifeless. You can’t over emphasize how hot it is at the park.
This is shaping-up (unfortunately) exactly how I thought it would. I have zero fucking confidence in Beede. His ass needs to go to Sac until he can get his shit straight.
What happened to the new lead off guy we heard about? This fucimng inning is alrady over. Beede’s inning lasted 35 mins. Ours? 35 seconds.
Single Bailey.
You know it’s not your day when Homer has 2 hits and a RBI..
this is what a team of ACTUAL hitters look like. We need to hope we hit on them in the draft.
if you want a distraction from the game, this is pretty wild.
About fucking time Boch, should of not even let Beede hit in the bottom of the 3rd!!
Beede owns his fair share of this shit show, but the fucking bats need to get it in gear. Two fucking hits won’t get it done…I mean come on. Homer Bailey isn’t exactly Cy Young with his 5.whatever ERA and 1.47 WHIP.
I don’t know Chi, he’s seems to own the Giants, lifetime 4-0 including a no hitter not to shabby..
I get it, but a chunk of the guys on today’s roster were not on the team for those four starts. They should do better than this pathetic show with the sticks.
The old core always has a way of dragging the Giants back down and stopping their momentum.
Blade sent me a couple of great pics I’ll post them later tonight when I get home. GH send yours too if you have any
I’m rotten to the core core

Who could ask for more?
The Fresno Grizzlies are the Nationals’ AAA affiliate nowadays.
This happened:
“A man participating in a taco eating contest at a Fresno Grizzlies baseball game died, according to the Fresno County Coroner’s Office.
Dana Hutchings, 41, was pronounced dead at Community Regional Medical Center after being rushed there from Chukchansi Park on Tuesday night, the coroner’s office said Wednesday.
There is no official cause of death pending toxicology reports and a review of the man’s medical records. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday, though it could take up to a month for a final determination to be made, coroner’s spokesman Tony Botti said.
Emergency staff at the hospital did clear food from Hutchings’ throat, Botti said, and preliminary indications are that he died of choking.
In a news release, Grizzlies team president Derek Franks said, “We are devastated to learn that the fan that received medical attention following an event at Tuesday evening’s game has passed away.
“The Fresno Grizzlies extend our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family of Mr. Hutchings. The safety and security of our fans is our highest priority. We will work closely with local authorities and provide any helpful information that is requested.”
Fans at the game said a man collapsed to the ground in the middle of the taco eating contest. Emergency medical technicians attended to Hutchings and administered the Heimlich maneuver and CPR before paramedics arrived in an ambulance and tried to resuscitate him.
Tuesday’s contest was being held on “Taco Tuesday” as a prelude to the ninth annual Taco Truck Throwdown, scheduled for Saturday.”
It’s a shame the guy died, but these contests are disgusting in every way and probably another reason why other countries hate us…
To bad about the guy but Taco 🌮 slamming down contest doesn’t sound good with sharp edge shells that could get lodged in your throat, stick with the king Joey Chestnut and just devour hot dogs 🌭
2 hits, both from our MVP. Zaidi better make finding hitters his #1 priority next season or it’s gonna be the same shit repeated
What the fuck…first gane in 16 years and we have 2 frickin hits!!!
Yeah I feel for you bro,Giants drinking a heavy dose of Baileys today..
Treating Homer frickin Bailey as an all-star pitcher….sad!!!
I’m just not seeing any significant potential in any of our young(er) pitchers.
It is a huge problem…
Another crazy shooting… Philly this time… 😦
You’re right, Loo, the young arms ain’t showing much, although there are some other ones that we’ll likely see in September that might show something. Team obviously and desperately needs hitters…. add to the mix a dire need of arms, and Z really has his work cut out to get this team post-season ready within a year or two….
If you really want to get depressed, pick up today’s USAToday and read how Houston has so many great players that are blocking so many hot prospects and those prospects are now starring on other teams (that’s right starring not just starting). Where the fuck was Sabean and Son’s when this was put together. No players from the farms worth a shit and few coming up. We are going to be in this shit hole for several years at least.
To think we started in SF with Mays, McCovey, Cepeda, et al. Twin would have warned us.
OSF
Yaz Bombs away!!!
Yaz rocks.
Epic look at a pissed off A’s Lefthanded reliever and I don’t blame him as Melvin melts down in the heat and let’s right handlers blow up against Yaz & Vogt, real bad decision not going with the lefty.
So much for a shutdown inning as Chapmen launches his second bomb 💣
On a big fat 0-2 pitch, no less…
Jesus. The pen not named Moronta, Watson, or Gott, and the starters not named Bummie or Smargle are all sucking.
“The Windup Girl is an interesting sci-fi novel”
Yeah, Paul, I like that novel and that author, Bacigalupi, a lot. He’s also got a great short story collection called “Pump Six.” He has some other novels I haven’t gotten around to reading yet, but want to eventually.
Belt could very well be the batter in MLB that would benefit the most from an electronic strike zone.
Apparently umps just seem to get off ringing him up.
Oh he’d complain about that too. He should BE the fucking robot umpire, he’d be the best robot umpire of them all. He could train them, supervise them be friends with them. It would be the perfect job for good ol’ Belt.
Appropriate for fuckin Belt takes strike 3 ( yes it was a foot outside but who cares the ump obviously didn’t on a scorching 🥵 day) I wished they would of PH for him with Bum just to make a statement.
Boring ass game made worse by the fact that my buddy, Danny and my stepdad are A’s fans (so a slow burn for my mom and I every time the A’s scored). That being said, we were quite grateful to have seats in the shade. Peter and his two buddies were near the Levi sign. When I asked Peter how he was able “to hang” like a dried out raisin, he said, “No humidity makes it easy.”
We don’t have an everyday player of Chapman’s caliber, but maybe Bart will be that.
yes. Or Ramos. Or the guys we traded Bum and Smith for. Oops. Scratch that.
But we got Yaz!
Hopefully Dick Dick Dick brings the wood.
The key for the Giants going forward is the international players actually all of baseball ⚾️ that’s the frontier of baseball moving ahead imo.
Giants have the hot shot SS with already the cockiness who says : “I want to be on this team in 3 years and be the “face of the franchise” his name is # 3 prospect Marco “Lucky” Luciano( I’m giving him the Lucky after gangster days but it’s perfect) they also have a#7 prospect in power hitting OF Alex Canário,a 3B with power Luis Toribo, then you throw in Dubon at 2nd, hopefully Jaylin Davis gets a look( still don’t know why he’s not up right now), Joey Bart C, OF Heliot Ramos OF Hunter Bishop,Logan Wyatt and even possibly that 6’11 pitcher Heige (sp),yeah they have to dump a lot of rotten to the core players, which Z will figure out, but it looks pretty good going forward with some added power desperately needed..
Great post AK!
It can’t be that hard to stretch a reliever out these days. You don’t have to turn a 2 inning guy into an 8 inning guy. You turn a 1-2 inning guy into a 4-5 inning guy and it’s good enough. Maybe someone like Coonrod could be a starter down the road…
Well, I see Beede did his usual mental meltdowns, though I’m surprised there was just one homer. 8 hits in 4 frames, uh, not good. The dude has MLB stuff, and maybe a single A mental approach. He seems to get rattled consistently.
They need to bring up this Logan kid and give him a shot at starting. He’s off PEDs now, or at least has a better masking agent, hopefully. Otherwise, the rotation is basically Bum and Samardzxx + the 3 Stooges…
The 3 titles were all about pitching – I have no fuckin’ idea what the winning formula is now…
Exactly.
Those three “beauties’ were earned by the arms that Bochy ran out there.
You can win without much pitching if you have overwhelming firepower at bat — like the Yanks. But, that’s pretty rare, and in playoffs, really good pitching should beat that — Hello ‘Stros…
I also see Lil’ Yaz went Yard again.
How did the Orioles miss on him?
Same way Sabevans missed on Reynolds? (although he’s much younger than Lil’ Yaz)
I’m fine with Pillar and Yaz playing every day. They always bring it and are the least of our problems.
Bochy & crew pulled off some kinda miracle in July, but I can’t wait to see who replaces him…
Beede is an unorganized grabasstic piece of amphibian shit…
But, his lady wuvs him soooo much…
Astros-Dodgers should be entertaining.
Is there any doubt?
Panik doubles off Melonbrain…
