Devastating Loss
That was just…..fucking awful. The manager’s job is to push the right buttons. Kap is not pushing the right buttons. I don’t understand why Belt can pinch hit but not play late inning defense. Jesus Christ, defense is the ONE thing he CAN do. You send him out to CATCH the ball not to try to HIT the ball. This is managing 101, man.
Had this exchange with Krueger last night. I think he wants there to be action at the trade deadline because it’ll spice up his job. I just can’t see it happening. But I guess we’ll find out.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Gott’s breaking pitch dives low quickly, and batters just spit on it. He is Strickland basically, which is too bad.
DFA Pence, Panda and Gott right after the game.
Make a fuckin’ statement…
Belt too. He left a runner at 3rd in bottom 8th, and is absolutely worthless at the plate.
Unreal. No words.pence hit a chopper? No never saw that coming
“Kapler pushes the wrong buttons”
How many good buttons does he have to work with?
It’s no use, Zumie. Sometimes God decides to reward the absurd.
or let them face the music. It was a mistake to bring in gott last night instead of set up guy and then to leave him in long enough with nothing for A’s to tie the game. And so was today, when he lost it in similar fashion.
He sent in a struggling reliever who struggled again. He could have made the change. Jesus fucking Christ.
Home run, gift double, near another hit batter, fly ball, walk.
Hmmmmm. What’s the worst thing that could happen?
Gott was not a struggling reliever going into last night’s game. He’d allowed 6 baserunners in 6 innings and one run, 4 saves and a win. There was nothing mistaken about choosing him for the 9th Friday night.
um why you push the one he did after what he saw last night? The A’s own him. Was this some kind of mystery?
25 pitches last night, Gtt got hammered!
It’s not about getting him back out there to prove everyone wrong it’s logic that the A’s own his ass!! God I can’t stand Kapler and his fucking analytics BS!!!
I think he was trying to be old school, Kat, by showing confidence in his guy.
They don’t owe Pence and Panda any special consideration.
They were both already gone and brought back…
No Giants fans had a problem with Gott when he pitched well earlier in the season. Turned out to be an illusion, unfortunately.
I’ve gotten so just seeing kaplers name irritates
Giants lose this it will ruin Flav’s great call on Ruf.
But he can run same headline and lead.
I fell asleep with a nice 6-0 lead last night and wish I had fallen asleep an hour ago…wtf. Gott on my fantasy team no bueno…
Giants 2020: Make A’s Great Again.
Man, the A’s closer is the real deal.
He might just be, but having to face Pence, Crawford and Dubon isn’t exactly a difficult task.
The Giants have Yaz, and the A’s have about 6 Yazzes.
Let’s see how Kapler explains this pile of steaming shit in his postgame.Letting Gott continue to get ripped with no site of bringing in anyone else again.Just like last night as u watch hit, walk, hit batsman, then HR’s as he looks dumbfounded in the dugout!!
It’s actually worth playing.
Might calm you down…
Funny Loo I have this CSN&Y in my closet!
You maybe right I should spin this vinyl right now before my head completely explodes!!!🤯🤯🤯
Best Who album ever! Well along with Quadapheia(sp)and Tommy!
The wall where everyone can go to Piss on Kapler’s coaching non existence…
Yeah, one of my faves. FIrst album I ever bought was Quadrophenia.
gott has faced 12 batters in 2 games vs. A’s
2 BBs 1 HB
4 HRs 1 2b
3 outs plus botched fielders choice
As Kuiper says, ownage…
Anybody know what they’re paying Kotter?
A collection of dogs hit in a bag would be a overpay for Kapler right now..
Dog shit💩💩💩💩
Depends what kinda bag…
I hope Mr. Kotter takes the rest of the summer off.
Kinda wish i hadn’t seen it listed like that. 8/12 reached with 5 extra base hits. Unreal
A nice walk around the neighborhood after one of the more fucked up SF losses ever. How is that even possible in a season that means jackshit? Mrs. James: “Why did he leave that reliever in? It was obvious what was going to happen. It was just like Bruce Bochy.”
In 2016, Casilla blew 10 saves or so. The Giants then went out and got Melancon for 2017. Yikes.
They’ve had a lead in 9 of their 14 losses. For what that’s worth. I think the last week, they lost 5 games from the 7th on.
Crazy lightning storm passing thru
Peralta’s ERA jumps to 9.35
But wait not to be out done Rodriguez now checks in at 9.82!!
