Instead of breaking down that Giants game you’d probably have more fun watching this.

Ha that was great. Tremendous looking place too. Have fun Big Guy.
Funny Jenkins has column where he is ragging on how awful Opening Day baseball is. I watched all kinds of games yesterday and there’s more on today. Worst part is watching how bad the Giants are.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:06 am

That was AWESOME 👏 Flavor, you’re mom was totally fooled and didn’t know what to think at first and whoever was throwing some expletive words your way was playing it to the hilt.Nice house, great to have a place on a golf course!!Get off my lawn you F—— bloat, he was spot on when to throw a nasty word your way u deranged golfer!
Hope they had a Bloody Mary waiting for you as you played thru!! Speaking which that’s a gorgeous looking golf course lined thru the pines, to test your accuracy. How’d you play?

Odd play that resulted in ground ball dribbler to P with baserunner going 1b to 3b.
Hernandez (that guy again) is on first, Seager LH is up Giants have shift on with Flores (3b) playing normal 2b defensive spot and Craw behind 2b bag little to left of it. Dribbler just to right of mound is fielded by Coonrod who throws to Sandoval and they get out at 1b.

Craw moves in to cover 2b(???), Hernandez sees he has angle and takes off for 3b with no one there and makes it without a throw. Kruk covered for Craw and said C Brantly should have been there. Really? Flores could have gotten to 2b though Hernandez was gonna be there safely so why bother with 2b anyway?
If Brantly went to 3b that would mean plate was uncovered with Coonrod and Sandoval on other side of diamond.
somebody obviously f-ed up here.

That was really cool. Glad you got to see your family.
Winder said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:27 am

That made my day. Thanks
willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:28 am

Craw got caught in a bad situation I saw in I think was one of the A’s exhibition games. Same situation, LH at plate runner on 1b shift is on. Batter lines base hit to CF, and Craw, who isn’t as agile as he used to be to put it mildly, then has to race over and cover 3b while runner with head of steam up is barreling over there too.

Not sure of how to better defend this, unless either SS plays closer to bag on the shift, or you get lot quicker and more agile player to play that spot. Analytics from statcast or Hawk Eye cameras that track every ball put in play from every hitter will show you where ball will go, but how to lessen runner advantage on advancing simply by beating SS over to 3b, idk.

Naughty boy, Flav. What a hoot. High Larry Us.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:35 am

It’s funny how well the Giants looked and played when they swept the A’s in that mini series and now look like a completely lost club as I was thinking they had alittle momentum goin in..

The Panda/Taylor play has gone viral,”Down goes Frazier “
Really that was on Taylor for running with his head down and not realizing what could happen. Dave Roberts joked that was like running into a fire hydrant!!
chipower9 said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:42 am

That was so cool, Flav. Love it. I loved the expression on your mom’s face. Priceless. Beautiful place your family has there. Enjoy your time my friend.
chipower9 said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:46 am

I agree with Kat. I have been perplexed watching the last two (well, 1.5) Giant games. I thought they look OK against the A’s and they have looked like dog shit against the bums.

I won’t lie either. A friend texted me about the A’s game. I resisted. But when the wheels came-off for the Giants, I went over around the 4th, and predominantly watched the A’s – Angels. Now that was an entertaining baseball game. A’s with the walk-off salami in the bottom of the 9th to win it (Angels had bases juiced in top-half and could not score). Wish the Giants had some young studs who can play ball.
djloo27 said, on July 25, 2020 at 8:59 am

Great video, Flavor and about as non-Brooklyn as it gets…
djloo27 said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:03 am

Jaylin Davis = Rajai Davis
If he’s lucky…
- James said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:21 am
  
  Or Fred Lewis, although I wish I was more hopeful. Maybe if he’d followed the HR up with a line drive or two and a walk.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:23 am

I still feel Jaylin Davis is all they have along with Yaz as a player that needs to be out there EVERYDAY!
Why pussyfoot around with him ? He can be a 5 tool player with more experience and that bomb last night going with the pitch and driving it out was a thing of beauty showing the abilities to hit to all fields.And screw the platoon scenario he hit that off Stripling a right hander!
Play my Boy every game! Only him,Dubon and Yaz are the ones that I get excited about watching and all 3 need to be on the field consistently…
- willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:29 am
  
  I like Dickerson too as a guy who can provide power and get on base but man he looked awful last night. Like others, he kept waving at Stripling’s high fastballs out of zone, and flailing at curve balls in the dirt.
  I think they get Wood this afternoon so hopefully Davis will be in there, with Slater and Ruf too, maybe Solano for Crawford who didn’t have great game either.
Flavor said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:25 am

My sister said my mom was whispering to her the whole time “that guy is crazy, don’t look at him or give him any attention and hopefully he’ll just walk away” lol

  She was right…

  Do you like Bend as a place to live? Other parts of Oregon you’d recommend as place to retire?
  - Flavor said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:38 am
    
    I have a lot of feelings about Central Oregon, will share later gotta hit the course now. Later.
wilcojoe said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:31 am

Such an awesome video Flav. You were channeling your inner Borat. Nicely done! And God damn, that’s a beautiful golf course.
Macdog said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:38 am

That was fantastic, Flav. The British accent is hilarious.
- Flavor said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:39 am
  
  There was a great debate about whether it was new Zealand or British. Or nothing. There’s a good chance that no place would claim that accent.
zumiee said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:41 am

Well done, BF!
dirtnrocksnomo said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:47 am

Terrible/unrecognizable accent, obscure golf terminology, a subtle political dig, and a mom’s love. Our star, Big Flavor, really brought it all to this role with his masterful performance. Let’s not forget the artistic framing and camera work. This art house short film is sure to appeal. Definitely a thumbs up.
Bozo said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:47 am

Awesome video.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:50 am

In the musical chairs of Kapler’s pitchers it looks like it might be Logan Webb starting today( but who knows with his last minute guessing game?)
So what’s the deal with Shark?
- djloo27 said, on July 25, 2020 at 9:59 am
  
  Some announcer last night said something about WBK having no regard for unwritten rules such as naming a SP and posting a lineup many hours before game time. Sounds more desperate than innovative to me.
  Not likely to endear him to anyone including his own team…
  - Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 11:40 am
    
    Maybe not even his own mom.

- Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:14 pm
  
  You called it.
Bill Fleming said, on July 25, 2020 at 10:11 am

Agree with The Kat. I also liked his right field swing approach. And he almost had another HR going that way. Every at bat Pence gets is an at bat taken away from Davis. Who knows if Davis can play at the MLB level, only way to find out is to play him at the MLB level.

Sandoval shouldn’t be in the lineup vs lefties.

Yaz can hit lefties so he should be in the everyday line-up.

I like Dubon’s swing, needs a little more plate discipline.

Chi, we do have at least one young stud ready to go right now. His name is Joey Bart. I didn’t read the earlier posts. Are the Giants going to call him up next week? If so here is my next week’s line-up vs lefties:

Dubon 2B
Yaz CF
Flores 3B
Davis RF
Bart C
Ruf DH
Slater 1B
Dickerson LF
Solano SS

That’s four players I could watch and pull for: Dubon, Yaz, Davis, Bart.

Yes, right handed heavy. But you can mix and match in innings 6 through 9.
- djloo27 said, on July 25, 2020 at 10:15 am
  
  Greatest Ruf ever…
  - Macdog said, on July 25, 2020 at 12:40 pm
    
    Giants fans right now, or maybe the Giants themselves:
- alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 11:06 am
  
  Yes that’s a LU I could get behind Bill.
  I might be in the minority but I miss Longoria, he actually came around last year and played solid ball overall and his defense is far superior then having Flores/Panda over at the hot corner!
  But yes you can mix and match after 6 innings are so to balance the LU out.
djloo27 said, on July 25, 2020 at 10:13 am

BTW, the dog’s performance in the video was Oscar worthy.
Played it perfect!

Love me some Chili 🌶
What a solid career from this gamer!
Tough as nails: Mike Socisca (sp) once said he was the toughest guy like a runaway freight train when we collided at homeplate!
Still blows me away that it’s been 40 freakin years to develop more talented outfielders for the Giants!
- djloo27 said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:16 pm
  
  Why is Chili the hitting coach for the Mets instead of us?
  - alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:22 pm
    
    I know right Loo..
    He’s a great hitting coach and should of been considered for the gig.Also wouldn’t mind having Matt Williams back as well coaching 3rd instead of Wotus..
  - willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:48 pm
    
    Kapler’s staff is a joke. His bench coach came out of Indians AZ Fall League and 2 small colleges.
    the pitching coach was bullpen coach.
  - Bozo said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:19 pm
    
    Two hitting coaches and an assistant hitting coach. Same with the pitching. I wonder what the quality control coach does?
willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:15 pm

dang it Solano. Get a good pitch to hit off this guy. Nothing will be above 90 everything else is soft and out of the zone.
willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:21 pm

Pence batting 5th. Defy someone to find analytic says that’s a good idea. another ground out ends an otherwise good inning–walk to Slater, Wilmet moves him over Ruf drives him in.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:27 pm

Pence????
As Nancy Kerrigan would say WHY? WHY? WHY?

Man doesn’t help to have AJ Jerkoff in the booth ripping the Giants and jizzing all over the Dodgers expecting them to go all the way to the W/S!!
And of course they would lose it again lol 😂

Nice double going the other way!

there you go make this guy throw a strike. 2-1 Giants
zumiee said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:48 pm

Solano bails him out. 2-0 count, he swung at ball 3 and ball 4.
- willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:50 pm
  
  did it first time up too…arrggh I hate the slop throwers you gotta wait them out. giants took 2 walks that helped create run there.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:48 pm

Good job to make Wood use pitches( 50 now in 2 innings)as it looked like they were going to waste Yaz leadoff double but scratched one out on the WP..
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 1:50 pm

Yeah Turner should get a gig playing with ZZ Top..

Who had “walk the number 9 hitter on 4 pitches” on their card?

Well, they got a piece of Muncy.

Webb did some serious battle with Betts. Highlight of the season so far.
- willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:11 pm
  
  as you mentioned, the uh build up wasn’t so cool. Plus now his pitch count is up an extra 10.

  Time for a Lotto ticket 🎫?
xoot said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:16 pm

Flores, Dubon, Yaz and yes Davis. We have some players.

Webb outsmarted and trapped Mookie in the first AB, lot of good low breaking balls finished off with a perfect 94 FB at very top of the zone. And then, as Zumiee said, Logan went toe to toe masterfully vs. Mook in the second AB, with the goddamned bases loaded. Ice water.
Still, I’m putting the O/U on dodgers runs in this series at 39.5.
- xoot said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:18 pm
  
  Oh, and: tremendous video-captured surprise attack, Flavor.
- Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:25 pm
  
  Hope I don’t Q. the deal by saying this, but I closely followed Webb’s Mi L. stats career. He may well have the talent to become the rotation’s gem. There are at least two more rotation potentials in the pipeline–as dead as Mi L BB is this crazy year.
Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:21 pm

Even with all the fuckups, the Spare Parts have brought in three tallies against a so-so pitcher. Perhaps the LaBumbos rotation is not as deep as advertised, what with the departure of their off-season pickup and Opie’s aching back. Pence looks to be Dog-meat. Maybe they should let him stay in LA–even though the DOdGers wouldn’t ever have signed him.
willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:22 pm

wilmer saves them again. Regardless of Belt/Longo this guy needs to be in there every day.
Now I’d like to mr. dubon create an average for himself this season.
willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:32 pm

Boom Solano!
zumiee said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:33 pm

Great AB from Solano that time. Very patient.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:33 pm

Oh hell yes Solano!!
Huge 2 run Double!!
Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:37 pm

THIS time Solano says “Hello”. Five runs in should give these guys a basis for some pride of the part of the Spare Parts squad. Again, the LABumbos may be in the market for pitching depth. But who knows, maybe today was a planned bargain basement day.
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:40 pm

Great fundamental play by Webb to backup 3rd and nail Taylor!

  Maybe they got their flibberdigs by watching the Bad News Bears last night.
Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:42 pm

How about some D! Davis has an arm. At 60 pitches Webb may be tiring, though. Good show against a tough lineup and his jobs on Betts were classics.
xoot said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:42 pm

the Giants played good quit-witted baseball!
- Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:45 pm
  
  This bunch could transmogrify into something fun (from time to time, anyway) as Kapler sorts his way through the Spare Parts conglomeration.
xoot said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:44 pm

that dodgers guy taylor is a piece of work. You’re lucky. That fat man playing 1B almost killed you last night. Yeah. Wild eyes. I’m lucky!
alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:44 pm

Wow the Dodgers are playing like the Giants did the 1st 2games, No excuse for Pederson to get doubled off 1st..
Carstie Clausen said, on July 25, 2020 at 2:49 pm

Finally. Pence demonstrates his veteran wiles and takes one for the team. At least he can get something right. Nevertheless, I think the train bust made a bad investment during the off-season.

alleykat69 said, on July 25, 2020 at 3:10 pm

How many catchers does this team need to sign?
Doesn’t bode well for seeing Bart now..
Hermann Munster has a lifetime batting avg of .205 and obp .282?
So you have Heineken who’s actually ripping the ball, Brantly meh,Tromp is he on the taxi squad? Now Munster? They won’t have 2 catchers on the taxi squad right?

    Herman Munster can DH for Pence, I have no quarrel with that!
- willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 3:16 pm
  
  Tromp I saw is hurt-hammy I think. He and Sanchez both aren’t bad enough to go on IL but not ready to play.
  they could always dump Brantly back down to other group–lot of pitchers to catch and keep working down there.
willedav said, on July 25, 2020 at 3:14 pm

Was Slater in there safely and then came off the bag? Props for getting on base though, 3 times already.
- zumiee said, on July 25, 2020 at 3:15 pm
  
  He slid headfirst but still came off the bag. Gotta grab that bag.
