Win Of The Year
Somewhere in the world’s forest, Gail is being gently awakened by the sounds of another day beginning. Birds chirping, squirrels scurrying about. The sun peeks out over a mountain top, she stretches and is excited to beginning a new day of hiking—the furthest thing away from the explosive night time wake up call that would have jarred her conscious had she stayed at home. 🙂 🙂 🙂
So it turns out, I was very wrong-o about Yaz’ grandson.
Happily so. Between him, Pillar and The Dick we gave up literally nothing. So for that, I give Z huge props. He did this same thing with Muncy in LA so I think it’s clear he’s got a knack for scrapping up useful scraps. And with us so far away from respectability when the year began, that will be an important skill going forward if we want to shorten our stay in baseball purgatory….
Logan Webb Day! I’m really excited to see this kid pitch.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Where in the hell would we be without the Zman? Four of the best player in the lineup were not even on the radar before the season. Sabean and Sons would have recycled Ortmeir or Bowker instead. He has pulled this POS team into respectability. Let him draft, manage the scouts, decide the fences, and manage the concessions.
OSF
Sabean and Evans won in 2014 and then just literally went into drink wine and hand out contract-mode. I thank Sabes for what he did (Evans did nothing except sit in the shadows and then fuck shit up once Sabes left) but we really do have a GM who is looped in on everything now. It’s just gonna get better from here. I’m still bummed as fuck we didn’t trade Bum and Smith but it’s not the end of the world…..
I don’t think The Dick is right, he’s favoring that oblique injury, they rushed him back to soon!
Time for my boy Jaylin Davis to join them in Wrigley!
they didn’t rush him, this is just who he is. This guy will never be able to stay healthy. Sucks for him. And you’re right, it’s JD-Time baby! Let’s go!
Loving the DP as the fans goes silent..
Melancon got the save vs. the Dodgers tonight so I’ll give him credit for that.
15 hits tonite 13 singles 2 walks 1 double 1 bomb. Yah good for the kid settled down after rocky start lot of pitches.
The AZ kid Walker, 1b who just homered, now has 22 of them. Good for him but gotta wonder how many some Giants would have playing home games here.
Suarez playing like a AAA player right now
Agree, he really struggles against RH , now lefties are hitting him..
To quote you, he’s just a guy. Nothing special.
i mean, he could still do basic fundamental things. Should have tagged the guy instead of trying to hit the first base bag. That’s just a lack of feeling for the game.
wilmer flores yeow. Guy thinks he’s Paul Goldschmidt vs. SF
Flores has a bunch of hits tonight, but he’s flubbed some plays on defense.
Poor Craw, he’s not joining in on the fun.
Wow, now up to 18 hits. Giants really do like this ballpark.
Nice grab Slater!
Bergen doing a Melancon impersonation…
Slater flashing the leather…again.
guy is completely underrated here, as usual. Good Stanford man who just fucking makes plays
He’s starting to hit, but he had some crappy glove work when he came back, particularly in Denver. Looks like he’s shrugging that off. I’d like to see him start driving the ball, the guy is too big not to have some pop…
Gustave will close this shit out, he’s been rock solid..
Slater has a really high OPS including slugging, a lot of which has been done on the road but he can use the whole field and get on base. I really like him as proto 2 hole hitter.
up to date slash line: .293/,407/.515 for .922 OPS in just under 100 ABs.
and he racks up an assist to end the game.
Yaz Pillar Slater is not a bad OF… considering how bad the OF has been…. (yes, Loo, I know you’re pining for Puig)… 🙂
Another stompin’ of the Snakes.
The Webb family brought it well tonight.
Slater showing off the arm, too! Sit down bitches!
Series win right there!
Tomorrow…🧹🧹🧹🧹
This Webb development is a big deal. Cueto comes back and…..
yes. Day off Monday, 3 @ Cubs, day off Friday 2 @ A’s 2 at home vs. AZ day off. Maybe they can get by with 4 til then. After that Aug 29 starts couple week stretch with 4 vs SD 4 @ STL 3 @ LA 11 games no off days.
Thoughts on Kelli Johnson – Giants pre-and post-game?
She’s gotten better. She seemed kind of hyper-nervous early on.
Agree. I like her. She always seems prepared and knowledgeable. I saw a short bio on her…she has been doing baseball for quite a while.
Webb could be the real thing, very quickly. And we love us some Johnny Cueto just on the horizon. Outfield of Yaz Pillar Slater went 10 for 14 tonight.
Morse got better, too. He told some good stories this weekend, and seemed more relaxed.
Like him better then Burrell if that means much..
Crazy Wild Nats/Brewers game going on, on FS1.
Dodgers’ Urias suspended for domestic violence.
you spend too much time worrying about them. They have a great team. Let’s just celebrate when they lose the WS again. Hopefully.
I don’t worry about them, but whatever.
I will celebrate when they get 6 more losses, though.
the dodgers are lame, man, I spend zero time worrying about them. All they do is fail in the end. They’re gonna finally do it at some point, maybe this year. Good for them. But I don’t give a single shit about them game to game.
They’re about to win the division for the 7th year in a row, so they are of relevant interest to a lot of Giants fans; but not all, certainly. I rather enjoy when they lose a game, even a regular season game.
Kelli Johnson… I thought you were talking about some infield prospect the team picked up off the waiver wire…
😂
Jaylin Davis in Sac tonight.
Another dinger…
If Webb can repeat in the next start, Beede gets bounced to Sac or to the Pen after call ups…
Brewers win 15-14 in 14 innings. A pitcher had to bat at the end and struck out.
Longoria keeping his bat warm really helps. That 3rd base has been a black hole for offense most of the season, save that few weeks Longo was hot before his foot trouble, now he’s warming up again…
I dunno how you explain the Giants being the 3rd best road team in the NL, but crappy at home. I think they go into a mental funk when they get back to Oracle…
I know Belt feels that way, he said so in postgame on how well he likes hitting in Arizona.Hopefully we can accommodate him and send him there in the winter..
They can send him to Siberia for the winter, he’s still gonna be in SF come the spring.
Him and Crawford need to get into some serious training and report next season in
shape and ready to play like savages in what will hopefully be a normal size ballpark.
Jack White went for the first 3 innings, left to perform a concert, saw that the game was still going, and came back to the ballpark to watch the final innings.
Loo…That will be me dancing 🕺 when my boy Jaylin Davis gets the callup!! Oh gee another game another HR for Davis!!
Kat, I want the kid up, too. Big time.
But, they’ve got no room, unless somebody gets hurt. Or, the Dick has to go back on IL or something. I think worst case he’ll be up Sept 1…
Webb has a damn good change up or split, whatever it is. That thing dives down like a motha’ right when it nears the plate. If he can get the pitch count down as he relaxes with more experience, he may be something here. Sorta reminds one of Cain…
2022 season outfield?…
Jaylin Davis: LF
Heliot Ramos: CF
Hunter Bishop: RF
Lil’ Yaz: 4th
