Finally, A Man Emerges
Everyone was talking about what an opportunity last night was for DRod and that was definitely true. He took advantage of it. Before the game, Krukow did his usual spiel about how his struggles this season were “100% mechanical” and that it’s been a greater challenge *getting right* because of his shuttling back and forth from MLB to AAA and the fact that he’s been in the bullpen and missing the routine of being a starting pitcher. I can support some of that. The other piece is that he’s just a marginal guy who has to be totally focused up every start with his *best stuff* with him every time he toes the rubber. And that’s not the end of the world if this is who he is. At least he can give us a start like this now and again. He’s been the only youngster to step up this August so we need to give this guy his due for last night’s performance.
Cueto was hitting 93 last night in his rehab start. That shimmy is getting closer and closer to returning and I’ve just about taken home that ten bones from Diggity….
WTF…
Ball is FLYING tonight….
This game is just another nightmare!!
Hey but the good thing they lead the league in one victory’s!!
Are you fucking kidding me….
Are u fucking serious?
Can we buy a fucking out?
Fuuuccckkkk
This game is discombobulating Flap minds.
Total hanging slider. Awful pitch.
I need a fucking drink…a double….
Gail to sleep safe and sound tonight, aye?
She went up and spent last night in the mountains last night, and hiked today. She’s been out for hours,….dead to the world…
Fucking freight train could roll through here, and I don’t think she’d stir….😂
lol
Officially we’re in the dog days for the Pen…
We got so used to this bullpen being good.
Staring to wonder about the bullpen pieces we traded. I like what we got, but the bullpen has been sketchy as fuck at times lately…
My Man YAZ!! Number 3 For the Guy Who will lead this Team In Bombs by season in!!
Better late then never for Roy Hobbs!!
Lil’ Yaz is EN FUEGO!!!!! …
WTF! Trifecta Yaz!
BIG MOTHERFUCKING FLY!
You’ve got to be kidding me.
I give up. No names hitting bombs. Sissy pitchers can’t pitch 7 innings, much less complete games. Baseballs might as well be Super Balls. This game today only has a faint resemblance to the game Mays, Koufax, Gibson, Robinson, Drysdale, McCovey, etc., played. Sigh . . .
I am with ya 100%. I don’t like it, but it is still the best team game…
it’s only got a faint resemblance to the game of Cain, Huff, Torres, Wilson, etc…..
True dat!
Missing the craziest game ever
Where you seeing the Avett Bros?
Greek in baerkeley
Between Pillar and Yaz you gotta say Young Z has done his job this year…..
Who will pitch the bottom of the 11th? The water boy?
Isn’t Bum due for a short throwing session in between starts? Why not now?
98 degrees F and 24% humidity outside in Phoenix right now.
Even with AC, it must be warm and dry inside the ballpark there.
Juiced balls be a flyin’….
12 bombs. Just your run of the mill MLB game.
Fucking pinball baseball….
Giants hitting 6 bombs is Twilight Zone material.
Yes, they have to be using superballs…
Scoot needs to get in on the action….
Hey I did call a 3rd HR for Yaz on my 9:41 post so I’m giving myself a knowing nod!!
Have a shot, Kat. Make it a double…
I am 🥃🥃this game makes you drink more!
Great call!
Maybe Smith can get his shit together here….
What’s gapoennng?
Snakes one on, one out.
Smith has seemed running on fumes pretty much the last few weeks. I don’t know why Bochy is forcing him to throw so many damn pitches…
Probably because of what he has left in the pen….
You’re right. Didn’t he just pitch 35-40 pitches in his last game?
Yep, something like that.
I think Smith needs an IL visit for 10 days just to regroup.
Zman used to do that a lot in LA…
Jaylin Davis tonight with the River Cats:
3 bombs…
Minor leaguers get flubber in their baseballs.
Same balls as MLB now…
If he comes up, Slater goes down. That’s pretty rough.
Obviously they can possibly wait until Sept.
Right move finally,Smith has thrown 72 pitches his last 2 outings!
How the fuck was that NOT strike 3???
Ump is inconsistent.
Fuck YES! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
Wow 😮 this game was crazy 😜 but in the end you Gott to believe it was the bright orange 🍊 shoes!!
Yes!!!!Giants Win!!!10-9
LMAO, Kat. I had the same thought! 😂
That was fucking tortuous…,
Smith vultures a win. 🙂
on second thought, how fortuitous it was that good ol’ Gail was hiking this weekend. If not she’d be running for her life right now with a maniacal Chi chasing closely behind….
A’s and Astros are in a dogfight, too.
Bullpen is probably gassed after this game.
poor Gail may have been accidentally murdered tonight if not for her love of hiking…..lqtm
That 3rd HR for Yaz was not only impressive but when he rounded 1st with his fist pump it reminded me of game face ( geez I’m drawing a blank) blast in the playoffs!
Gillaspie. Yeah, they kind of look alike.
Worried about Chi right now. Running in all directions of his house, alone, needing Gail but no Gail to be found. Wins like this can be a bitch, yes?
I’m going to watch game highlights on MLB.com.
May take half the night with all these dingers…
Coonrod — I hope this guy isn’t another muscle head that throws a straight 4 seamer down the middle belt high every time. We’ll see. Meanwhile I kinda like this kind of game, lots of action, as long as Gmen win…
Man, I always seem to miss the crazy games, and this one had to have an epic 3 bomb night from Yaz and a pair from Pillar. Looks like Giants were on the verge of what would’ve been a crushing loss, so glad to see they pulled it out (Yaz!) and held on (Gott!) for a big win.
some game
That was awful! Good win, but up 7-2 in the 8th and nearly lost! Heavy sigh
record number of homers for Chase Field; imagine how awful a loss would’ve felt. BUT THEY WON. SOMEHOW. 2.5 back in WC.
