Good Things Happening
Well, yesterday was fun. The Giants got their first win and I received many the kudos for being a good son and surprising my mom. I have several friends who have recently lost one of their parents and that video was good for them to see.
Glaze Meadow today, 1:57.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
That was a tearjerker…
Kapler making all right moves with pitching so far tonight. Can it hold up for 3 more innings?
Should be Dickerson up there right now though.
Did espn inteview arod or something? oh, I missed it. I saw him occupying half the damn screen, but I was listening to the Giants analysts. espn is worse than fox. impossible but true.
ok pence
god dammit
Progress for Pence, he didn’t hit into a DP!!
Boom!
wow Solano with another clutch rbi.
off Baez fastball too. Longo gets back he has to stay in there too.
I am really liking this Ruf guy….born Giant!!!
Soley!
Ok my pick for a HR tonight RUF, doesn’t have that but he’s got a RBI, 2 hits, a walk , a freakin SB, and now a run scored 👏good game not a Ruf night at all,,,
And some props for Heiny Man!!
I’m gonna croak if I see Pence and Crawfish in the lineup at the same time. And I can’t wait for Longo and Belt to return.
These guys have to seriously eat these deals and just move on.
Never happen a Chuck,the last time a Giants contract was eaten was Rowand’s and that got Bow Tie fired, só nobody in the organization has the balls to do that again..
I was surprised but not stunned to hear during the Dodgers 7 straight titles, they’re record playing the Giants stood at 68-66 far from dominating Giants always play them tough in series rivalry.
Then of course they do OWN the Padres going 85-49 during that stretch…
But get this win, boys. A split would be pretty epic.
kkkoonrod looked great in the 7th
Yep. Much better than his debit.
Would be great if he can pitch like this coonsistently…
Charlie – was talking about that with a friend yesterday after Giants got the W….how a win today/split would be pretty amazing. Especially given the Giants looked like dogshit the first two games.
No doubt Chi. On paper it should be all Dogpile ,but the last 7 years say no only 2 game dogshit advantage..
Amazing thing about baseball, Kat, is that you cannot win the game on paper. Its generally nine innings on the dirt and grass and the human factor is huge.
Craw has no chance hitting against the shift.
Crawdaddy’s still clawing his war round the bottom of the bay.
That’s a strike. Get back in the box, Seager.
Bullshit. But fuck it. I don’t want to face Seager.
Possibly biased umpiring by the review crew put Seager on first. But the laws of karma prevailed. The bruised, battered and beaten down underdogs during those first two games essentially set the baseball world on its ears and cost the Vegas oddsmakers a sweet bundle. That’s what I love about this greatest of athletic endeavors–contrary to football and baskethoops, any major league can beat any other ML squad on almost any given occasion.
Damnnnnn. There you go.
Nice work Rogers. Nothing like torture baseball.
Wow! Gnarly half inning.
Hell of a job by Rogers…did not break a sweat…probably needs to stop throwing first pitch strikes….
He’ll come around. Still feeling his way.
Kershaw’s Hankook commercial is as dumb as it gets…
It’ ok. exactly once.
Yep. He gives up a 5 mile home run.
Betts hit that off his hands and it almost went out
surprised Pollock still on 2b. that was hit pretty deep to CF.
Love it Loo!
Boom! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
yeah! take that ball out of the f-ing ocean!
Ballgame!!!
Hell of a split.
Gott ’em!
Yeah Humm Baby!! TORTURE!!!
Splitsville L.A.
wasn’t that game enjoyable? Now if the Giants can just start hitting some HRs, and if Kapler can truly figure out how to use all of those good arms in the pen — well, this could be a fun “season.”
Kapler’s pen goes 5 and 2/3 of shutout relief. Took 6 guys plus Smyly but he looks like genius tonite.
ah, Rogers is hanging a lot of those 80 mph floaters
Location, location and location. Considerable sangfroid. He’ll slot his spots. These are some of the best of the best ML hitters. I like his athleticism on those p.o.’s at 1B. Chances are he did get plenty of practice as he gradually rose through the pipeline.
Well, well, WELL. Alls well that ends well. Kepler won his spurs tonight. Ditto Dubon, Solano and especially Ruf, Smyly and a host of Cool-Hand Bullies. Bully for the Giants.
As fun as this was, I sure hope Pence, Longo, Belt and Crawfish suffer mystery injuries throughout the season.
Ruf, Davis, Solano, Dubon, and Dick Dick Dick, all deserve ABs over those guys.
Absolutely. Time to eat some salary, but I don’t see it happening.
And tonight’s winning pitcher is . . . ?
Peralta I think.
Peralta; you are correct.
Yes!
Notice how the home plate ump smoothly gave the LaBumbos the advantage. Looks like some awfully powerful people desperately want the Dogs to win. There was collusion up and down the line as even their video people did not catch that pitch hitting Seager’s knob before it whizzed his wrist. The entire ESPN experience reminded me of the media inaugurating the Wicked Witch of the West even before the votes were in.
Slight improvement by our D.H. cleanup hitter. What was that–only one GDP? At least that was the only one he slapped into the dirt. His forte has now changed to flyball outs.
Craw and Pence 0-8 tonite. Craw 1-10 in series, Pence 0-11.
That’s some serious Bore-Coring by them.
My read is that Pence was in the game and batting cleanup due to some heavy pressure from upstairs. So Kapler played it like the Good Soldier Sveik–gritting his teeth all the way. Good thing he was probably wearing as mask. Ditto with Crawfish. Looks like his gander’s goulash. At least he bats near the tail of the order where he can only infrequently fuck things up as royally as our Yoyo man
I hope we see Bart on the team this week coming up.
If Joey hits The Show sometime soon he may need to do a timeshare with Heinie—dude does know how to hit and for a catcher even steal a base (taking nothing away from the Ruf trade).
I’d be fine with a platoon at catcher, and Bart could also get some ABs as DH.
He’s been putting in practice at firstbase, too.
He would give the lineup a dangerous power hitter.
recall seeing a tweet from Baggs (@extrabaggs) saying he thought Bart and Hermann would be the 2 platoon Cs, soon.
Kapler says The Shark gets the start on Tuesday, Cueto on Wed., and Mr. TBD on Thurs.
Marlins home opener cancelled for today as 8 players and 2 coaches tested positive for COVID 19.This is not good going forward for the rest of this season! Pretty pathetic for the Phillies that couldn’t be a team loaded with sick players as well, maybe they should cancel they’re season.
Next couple of weeks should shall be the telling signs of this season continuing are not..
Muncy though he hit 2 bombs and 2 doubles, only went 4-16.
Bellinger 4-17 1 double
Betts 3-20.
So after first 2 thrashes, Giants pitching held their own.
Agree willedav, and the pitching, and there was some really nice D behind those pitchers, too. The Giants looked like shit the first two games, and the last two played some relatively clean ball.
Rogers is scaring me at this point.
Mister Rodgers scared me too!
Me, three. But if he gets outta the jams, even with some torture, I am good.
