Losing By A Carton of Freaking Eggs
I’ll give Kap credit. He tried the *take a big lead* approach and that didn’t work the first two games. So yesterday he tried the *get your ass kicked right out the gate and mount a furious comeback* approach. Sadly, that too failed. I hope he was taking copious notes on how to hold a lead as the A’s did with no problem on Sunday….
That was, WITHOUT QUESTION, the most embarrassing series we’ve ever played against Oakland.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I was having the same thoughts after yesterday’s game. Hell, that might be the most embarrassing three game Giants series I recall, EVER. Hey, you get your ass kicked sometimes, but the way they gave up big leads, not once, but two days in a row was just unbelievable. I remember sitting there after the A’s took the lead Saturday just shaking my head and saying you have got to be shitting me. That was pathetic, even by this team’s standards (or, is that a stretch – this team having standards)….
Whether you like Kap or not he doesn’t seem to be working out very well. I haven’t heard the players getting restless yet but that should start happening pretty soon if things don’t change. Z seems to be hiding out.
There was a reason the vast majority of the fan base let alone I suspect the Flap did not want him hired. Matt Williams???
I’m starting to think the Kapler hire was much like the Pence/Panda signings. He was hired to appease the casual fans. He looks good, he sounds good, he gives good interview. But he’s an empty uniform.
They sure didn’t hire him to manage the team in 2023.
Bro hire. Z knew him from LA days for few years. Supposedly Kap thought he would get the job over Roberts; Z apparently recommended him to Phils for that gig. Once he was available Z threw away all copies of notes he had on guys he interviewed previously. Doubt he goes anywhere soon either.
Loo yesterday at 3:23
“Well the baseball season was fun for a little while anyway”
Yes. by end of May last year I could barely watch Giants without some other distraction going on at same time. Less than third in, similar feel to covid ball.
Obviously until FO finds more pitching, rebuild is going nowhere fast. Nor is Kapler, and we won’t really know what he is telling Z/H about what he can do with what he has to work with, and what he needs.
Interesting players to watch? Um Yaz solano flores and…
Bart doesn’t do anything for me whether he comes up or not. Might knock a few out but ultimately C isn’t nearly as important roster issue compared to other major ones across the board.
I disagree on Bart. While Heinie and Tromp are fine at framing, their mental/physical errors are killing me. I want to see what Bart can bring to the table. I have mentioned what we are missing from Posey, ie his ability to call games, basically be a coach or QB on the field. It would be good to see how far along he is. Also, there has been some banter that Bart may be ticketed for a different position, long-term.
Bullpen problems: Jandel Gustave: Remember him? Giants dropped him going into the off-season. Flappers were wondering why. No answer on that and we’ll probably never get one. Guess what? Pittsburgh just picked him up. Dude has an exemplary ERA for SF last season and one of the lowest rates of homers given up in all of baseball. Think we could have used him for the 9th on Friday and Saturday night?
Maybe the Giants have too many coaches telling these guys what to do. 3 hitting coaches plus 2 hitting coordinators, 3 pitching coaches plus 4 pitching coordinators and a rehab pitching coach, 2 major league coaches (not sure what that means but we need 2 of em), a quality control coach (?), a strength and conditioning coach, a couple of mental skills coaches (?), a coordinator of skill development, various roving coaches and they probably also get advise from Bench, first and 3rd base coaches as well as Kapler and Zaidi.
It sure seems to me that there is the potential for the players to get many mixed signals.
“This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball.”
Yep, and a number of players on our team just cannot do that on a regular basis. One of my main sources of frustration this year…
Lol Vlown that’s a shitload of useless coaches!
Quality Control Coach? that’s a laugh, you need quality in players before this coach is even needed!
Mental Skills Coach? Is this team so mentally challenged?Well I assume so since the Bullpen is the worse in baseball and I’m even mentally exhausted watching them pitch..
They might have to hire even more coaches to help coach the current coaches who can’t coach a lick 👅 🤪
I’m thinking we could start with a new quality control coach. 🙂
LOL. Yes. First order of business: Hit the Ball. Catch the Ball. Throw the Ball…
13 guys and not one of them can position the catcher right. Posey has had 3 catcher’s interference calls against him in 10 years of big league ball. We have 4 in a month.
Too many cooks spoil the soup, eh?
Cooks? We have a high performance chef so we only need the one. We also have a biomechanics assistant, not sure who the head biomechanics person is so maybe we need one of them.
They list 1 scout on their website, Ellis Burks. I loved that guy but with those knees, I doubt he’s scouting much in person, maybe that’s not done anymore anyway.
I take it back, they list a couple of director of scouting guys.
Also Eli Whiteside is a roving instructor and Steve Decker is listed as a special assistant (to who or what, I don’t know), so you’d think they might be available to work with the catchers unless they are 1 on 1 with Bart and Bailey.
They should hire a little league coach to go over the fielding fundamentals that they’ve completely forgotten.
He can take them out for pizza and ice cream after practice…
LMAO…
Heiney’s over it about his position setup behind the plate. He’s now basking being are best pitcher coming out of the bullpen.The radar gun doesn’t even activate on his tremendous stuff that was baffling the A’s hitters..ERA…000
i don’t know why people keep saying “what did you expect? this was a throw away year.” Fuck that. That doesn’t excuse Kap’s absurd decisions and just flat out pushing the wrong buttons. His JOB is to push the right buttons. If he’s picking the wrong players, despite their failures, that is his failure too. He shares in those failures.
If you fail once, wrap it up as a learning experience. If you fail via the same inane decisions time and again, something is severiously wrong with the thinking of those who put you in the position where you could become a serial-failure.
Exactly. He’s been pushing the wrong buttons for the most part. The most baffling one was Cueto limping around all over the infield last week. They look at him, give him the green light, and then he walks 2 guys. He was obviously a little unfocussed after Pence’s deer-in-the-headlights OF miscue, and wasn’t pitching well.
Naturally Kapler leaves him in to give up a bomb to Turner, who OWNS Cueto.
It’s like Kapler is going AGAINST the prevailing analytics in that case. And for pitching guys 2 days in a row. No analytics say that is a good thing.
So a rover besides walking the dog name rover, is a person who is wandering and getting farther away from civilization as possible.That doesn’t sound like a good scout name when you don’t interact with anyone?
If Belt in Friday and anyone but Pence in Right Sat very likely we win both. Trade outs for runs right? Well you have to get the outs. Saturday 2 outs bases empty up 2 if Pence catchs the ball. Kaps lack of managing is the reason they were in there.
opps lack of managing smarts…
“Matt Williams???”
Well, let’s first thank Matt Williams for manager decisions he made that helped the Giants win the ’14 playoff series vs. the Nats.
The Giants can change the whole direction of the narrative by bringing up Bart, releasing Panda and Pence, and just call it a full-rebuild. There’s no fans in the stands anyway to get restless or not show up.
I never got the Panda & Pence signings. To me, it sounds like something Baer pushed for.
I’m pretty sure Zaidi reports to Greg Johnson now and I’m also pretty sure Zaidi made the call to bring those two back.
A failing of the Giants in the off-season was believing, or trying to believe, they could fix the Bore Core.
The power of positive thinking only goes so far. The BC is what it is at this point. And Belt has his annual weird injury, to add to it.
In my opinion, Flappers are so used to the BC being terrible the last few years, the BC gets kind of let off the hook a bit, ironically.
“a bit” is all I’m saying. 🙂
I don’t buy the narrative that Baer has any juice on player decisions. I think this is all on Farhan. He thought he could patch together a semi-competitive team and he simply cannot. I actually don’t mind the arrogance, as long as he realizes soon how bad we are and cuts loose Pablo and Pence. Everyone knows where I stand on Bart, but I’d love to see Davis, Dubon, and Duggar get lots of AB’s the rest of the way and see if any of them can help us going forward.
Sorry SD, didn’t see your post about Zaidi signing Pence and Panda before I posted above.
I agree on Baer. He’s in charge of seagull cutouts and storage of the McCovey statue during construction. That’s about it.
Yeah, Pence and Pablo had good years in 2019, and the let’s rotate/platoon the players around ala the Dodgers might be looking a little better if even a few of them were performing. But at this point it’s obvious that the plan is just tarnishing reputations and destroying public perceptions. Solano and Yaz will slow down, so although there might be small improvements elsewhere, the result will be the same. The 3Ds are more than likely F’s, but there’s nothing to lose.
That’s pretty good!
Well, let’s find out—and if they suck, run them out of here and bring in some new longshots.
One thing about the BC what they lack in hitting they still makeup in defense compared to using Flores are Solano.Longo is really picking it at 3rd, best I’ve seen since being here and he was good last year.Belt is Belt , steady as you go captain,still one of the best defensive 1B in the league overall.Craw yes he’s slowed down and I’m sure he’s pissed not being in there everyday facing a lefty much( which baffles me some cause I thought he hit them pretty good?)
Problem is (a good problem) is that both Solano&Flores are 2 of their best hitters along with Yaz. But is they’re stellar hitting enough to makeup for they’re terrible defense?Are they creating more runs than their giving up?
I just saw the Angel’s record. What kind of manager could have the greatest player in baseball plus Rendon and produce a .318 WP?
Look what Kapler did with Harper.
Farhan gets to wear Pence and Pablo being on the roster. They should simply be jettisoned as they are bad.
And Crawfish and Belt need to be dealt with. In other words, cut. We can live with Longo and Posey for the time being. But the logjam in this line up with all the dead weight will slow down the rebuild for this miscarriage of a season.
They should be leaping at the chance to play the young players in this spring training of a season. Instead we get this.
Duh, I hate it when I wrote something 2 hours ago and then realize I never hit Post Comment. Derp. Up there with not updating and realizing 15 people have already said with I just posted.
day off today. Just read in the athletic about our fantastic bullpen…Giants relievers have allowed 24 home runs in 23 games. If you dig comparisons, the Dodgers bullpen has allowed three.
As a staff, the Giants have allowed at least one home run in 19 consecutive games. That’s a franchise record and tied for the 12th-longest streak in major-league history. The 2017 Orioles and 2004 Mariners are the record holders at 26 games…..
Move over O’s n’ M’s. We’re on a roll and there’s a new big
chihuahua in town.
Baer, G. Johnson, or whoever is the liaison with the ownership group now.
I’m just saying the word could have come down to sign the retro-heroes. I could be wrong. And, agreed, Z wears it, whatever happened.
The next call up:
Let it be Bart
Speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be Bart
There will be an answer, Bart must be
Bart must be, Bart must be (etc etc)
while driving down the road today I happened to hear an old Paul McCartney and Wings song on the radio. I would’ve switched but the lyrics grabbed me:
There Is No End, There Is No End
The Willow Turns His Back On Inclement Weather
Now talk about tripe. But at least his affected stress on the second syllable of inclement, switching from iambs to trochees, was “musical.”
After that song, the station played “You’re Gonna Lose that Girl.” Man, John was so much fucking better.
Aw….I like that song and album, “London Town,” by McCartney. The album isn’t rock at all, just a nice pop album. In the next year or so punk and new wave were about to hit the U.S. and slam the door on the ’70s.
I bet Duane Kuiper wants to get in the batters box right now and increase his 1 HR total against this pitching staff!!
1. Mike Yastrzemski (L) RF
2. Alex Dickerson (L) LF
3. Donovan Solano (R) 2B
4. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
5. Evan Longoria (R) 3B
6. Pablo Sandoval (S) DH
7. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
8. Mauricio Dubon (R) CF
9. Chadwick Tromp (R) C
P Tyler Anderson
FUCK! I can see Belt in the lineup for his glove, but in the 4 hole, again? Pure fucking incompetence, IMO. And Pablo’s fat ass as DH. Should be Wilmer, Slater, anyone but Pablo.
Intransigence may be more like it. Where would you bat him and how would it make things any better? One can hope that any PAs Sandoval and Pence pick up over the next couple of weeks are a chance to prove definitively to the two players themselves that they deserve to be cut.
is that PSYCHO analytics?
It would be a perversion, for sure, this respect for the vets and verities stuff.
Intransigence on the part of Kap? Where would I bat him? Sure as fuck not in the clean-up. I would bat him 2nd or 9th and put Dickerson in the clean-up.
That’s pure 100% 4-in-a-row Bore Core there.
Should of just went with Pence for 5 Bore Core in a row!
Run the table!
It’s pretty amazing that the Angels currently have a worse record than the Giants.
The Angels have a good batting order, but their pitching is an issue. Two teams in this series with dire pitching staffs facing each other.
Speaking of John Lennon, here’s a Lennon song for Kapler. “Nobody Loves You When You’re Down and Out,” from the Walls and Bridges album (good album); but I prefer John’s original demo version of the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIYRbbHMesg
Back in the late 80s, I went to a party John Goddard from Village Music was having at the Sweetwater. He had Ry Cooder and that smoking band he was playing with at the time (Bobby, Terry and Willie Green on vocals, Flaco on accordion). I was standing in the walkway next to the stage that led to the dressing room stairs, watching the band and smoking cigs at that little shelf/table there. At the break Van Dyke Parks was bumming cigs from me while he chatted up a lady that he seemed to know well. I was told later it was May Pang from Lennon’s lost weekend.
I’d been to many Ry Cooder shows but this was an incredible night for me that was topped off by getting to talk snare drums with Jim Keltner.
well. With Flaco? That was one helluva party. They probably played Borderline. Did they play The Girls from Texas? Get Rhythm?
I don’t remember the exact set list that night but those are all tunes they were doing at that time, like the shows at Wolfgangs which were awesome, but man they killed it in that little room.
i love watching this shit
My blues buddy sent me a pic of new recording by Elvin bishop and Charlie Musselwhite, 100 yrs of Blues.
Also song by John Nemeth harp player with quartet “I Can See your Lovelight shine”
good stuff
Boyd Grant died today at 87. Had much success at Fresno St and I do believe Warriors defensive guru Ron Adams was student of his. the arena they played in known as Grant’s Tomb.
One of my 80’s NBA heroes, Fat Lever from ASU, turns 60 tomorrow. At playoff game btw Denver and Utah they showed a cut out of him. tremendous all around player
playoff hockey really is special even if your team (like Sharks) isn’t in it. However, a guy they traded away #19 Barclay Goodrow scored for Tampa today. I think Tolbert was in on “the Ning” as he called them.
Goodrow scored iconic goal in Sharks history to eliminate hated Vegas, great move and shot vs. Marc Andre Fleury after set up pass by much maligned Erik Karlsson.
Boyd Grant—the king of the matchup zone! I saw somewhere once that Tark the Shark always worried about how they were gonna score going up against Grant’s teams.
Grant took Fresno to an NIT title one season, beating Ray Meyer and DePaul, when the NIT actually still had good teams. Also went to 3 NCAA visits in 9 years, including the Sweet 16 one year, the Pinnacle of Bulldog basketball. Good dude, well liked. Later, HC for a few years at Colorado State. That early ’80s Dogs team had Dubs defensive guru Ron Adams on it as Grant’s defensive assistant, and forward Rod Higgins, he got drafted by the Bulls and played with Jordan before the champ seasons, and had 2 stints with the Dubs…
Wonder what the O/U is on this game. 16.5?

When I was younger, so much younger than today . . .
That’s damn good. Especially for a guy who thinks the Beatles were the first boy band!
Good one, Chuck!
yeah, UC, you definitely hit the meter there. Well, done. Three McCartney Oompah Tuba Toots up
Hey there’s nothing wrong with being a boy band! Never said I hated them, but like Led Zep, I OD’ed on them in the 70s. I can listen to the white album, abbey rd and Hey Jude, but that’s about it. Zep. I’m down to Physical Graffiti and Presence.
to me he doesn’t do anything to move the needle. Giants are actually 5th in NL for HRs–but they are dead last in ERA and no better than 14th for hits runs and BBs given up and the run differential is off charts minus
. What does he know about ML hitters or calling a game at this level? Because DRod said good things does that make him smarter as GM than Harris and Zaidi?
Zero expectations of him doing anything to help the team until mid 2021, and more likely 2022. Kinda ironic those who insist so avidly on “trusting the process” seem to be the ones who disagree with Zaidi strongest on Bart.
Bart could be someone fun to off-set the Bore Core slog.
Zum how much fun you get out of watching Dubon or Tromp hit? I can see occasional power but—ML pitching is way better than AAA which is better than AA, highest level he’s faced.
Bart’s not coming up. They’re fine with him playing fucking catch and talking to coaches about how to be a good catcher. Total fucking WASTE of an entire year for a guy that only has so many stud years in him
this is a strangely enjoyable take:
https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/08/17/the-deets-bad-news-giants-fans-gabe-kapler-isnt-going-anywhere/
It’s the main reason I don’t get too worked up about Kapler. He’s going to be here at least until the end of next season and possibly longer.
If the election goes the right way in November, it’ll be like winning a bunch of World Series all at once anyway.
“Bad roster plays bad baseball.
There isn’t a manager in the world who could fix that.”
And that has always been true. He didn’t mention that a good roster plays good baseball, probably because it makes the Kapler discussion moot in ways that are inconvenient to someone whose living depends on a good story.
.
Xoot that was not fun. Knowing we are stuck with a manager that can’t manage (is it really that hard?) bums me out in a big way:(
don’t your patients sometimes say “ow!” ?
You may not even notice the 3 losses his dimwitted moves are responsible for in 2023’s ninety-three win season.
come on, if you are watching the games, and maybe you aren’t, he has made countless terrible decisions. This roster sucks, mostly the pitching but really all of it. But to give this fucker a free pass because you think managers have no impact on the game is silly.
I am watching the games. What’s silly is to think that a guy like Kapler or anybody who’s played baseball over a lifetime is so inherently flawed in making moves on the field that he’s significantly worse than some other dude with the same experience.
Kapler will be long gone by 2023. He’s a placeholder.
That doesn’t mean Kapler isn’t a shitty manager. He has shown me nothing in the way of having a clue how to manage. He didn’t in Philly and he doesn’t now. The league is LITTERED with players who were shit managers.
Bob Brenly had a great team that he won a championship with. Is he a great manager? No. Not by a long stretch. He got his lucky break and took it. The fact that people play doesn’t mean shit in the way of managing. There are hundreds of washouts. Kapler is one of them.
I guarangoddamntee you he will not be the manager in 2023.
oh man, these Diamond and Silk emails are just amazing
Fuck,
President Trump is our only hope.
The future of our Country is at stake and we’ve come too far under this President to let things go back to the way they were before. Do you REALLY want another Obama? We didn’t think so!
Because of YOUR support, this movement CRUSHED Sleepy Joe and the Radical Democrats by $25 MILLION in July, and now we need to go even BIGGER in August if we’re going to do it again.
We’re already halfway through the month, and President Trump asked us to reach out to make sure we stay on track.
This is SO important that he’s activated a 600%-MATCH for the NEXT HOUR.
how does the president activate a 600% match? Just take money away from some federal agency and send it to himself? wtf? who believes this shit? oh, sorry.
i don’t get that either. Is that coming from his bitch Sheldon? Aren’t there laws against this? I really don’t know but there should be
this isn’t just nonsense, this is shit you’d read that got dropped on you from a plane in Germany in 1940
Fuck?
Can you believe that the Radical Do Nothing Democrats think they can beat me?
Sleepy Joe and Kamala Harris are nothing more than puppets being used by the Radical Left. How Pathetic.
The Democrat Convention this week is going to be a test of our resolve, Fuck. The attacks will be nasty, and the lies will only get worse. Remember, they’re not just after me, they’re after YOU and everything you stand for.
We need to FIGHT BACK. I just launched the 2020 Presidential Defense Task Force, and I’m calling on only my most trusted supporters to join – true American Patriots, like YOU.
As a member of the Task Force, I’ll be relying on YOU to DEFEND the White House, and the entire Country, from the Democrat’s radical agenda. YOU will be responsible for setting the record straight for MILLIONS of Americans across the Nation.
Your support is so CRITICAL that I’ve activated an EMERGENCY 600%-MATCH ON YOUR NEXT CONTRIBUTION when you join the TASK FORCE.
uh oh. USPS is going down.
LMAO. All the shit he says the dems are gonna do (nasty attacks and lies) is EXACTLY what that fucking POS will do. Ludicrous. And it is amazing so many people lap this shit up….
Picture yourself as a fan of the Giants
With Sandoval, Hunter, and all the Bore Core
Suddenly someone is there at the ballpark
The guy who is hard to ignore
Joey in the Show with Giants
Joey in the Show with Giants
Joey in the Show with Giants
Tremendous!
Mac that is brilliant. Sandoval for tangerine. Wow. May I suggest, respectfully, that you finish that line ” . . . with Sandoval whiffs and Hunter’s bore core” Or some such. You could probably do better.
I’m not about to turn down a good collaborator!
Like I said earlier, WTF if Belt doing in the 4 hole! 😂
Holy crap, another Belt bomb!
Yeah who needs a homer out of your 4 hole guy Chi..
Right, Kat? 😂
Belted! This has gotta be one strange season. So far as I know, however haphazard this team may be, they have yet to be shut-out. Didn’t happen tonight either.
Yeah, there’s about a half-dozen teams that haven’t been blanked, and the Giants are one of them.
Without knowing who they are, I’ll betcha whatever that each and every one of them has a considerably better W-L record than the Giants…and no bore-core, nor a bull-pen that reminds one of a bunch of bum-steers AND a manager who is not yet ready for The Show.
And sign up for our special bonus. Any pitcher you may wish to select to help in your playoff drive comes–with no extra charge–your very own cuddly panda-bear.
Belt is the guy that needs to be tied to Cueto.
Maybe next year, Chucky…
Only 24 more outs to go.
sorry, I like you, but this is utter nonsense. Managers do matter, they do have an impact on the game. This isn’t some fucking video game you’re watching.

You can choose to look up the what’s been done to figure out what impact managers’ on field decisions have on a team’s W-L record. I read several articles years ago, but, really, it doesn’t take much of an effort to realize that within the constraints of the game and the talent of your players, the success of any one move (or non-move) versus another is a crapshoot. It is NOT a chess match — not even close.
well you’re wrong. Managers matter. Home runs matter. You are going to catch up soon it just hasn’t happened yet.
Don’t look now but BB9 has crossed the Mendoza-Line…hitting at .205.
I guess he earned his fame, but I think there’s worse if you look hard enough…
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mendoma01.shtml
Great pull, Loo. But he was above the Mendoza line, lifetime. 😉
Guaranteed Trout was going deep..
Keep that Giants BP streak of homers games still alive and well Johnny Winter!
Yep, wasn’t a matter of if, but when.
Be that as it may, Kapler must be heading to the Hall of Fame based on his deft pitching decisions. A bad manager can win with great players. Brenly showed that. But a bad manager can screw up a good team. Matt Williams showed that.
Just as a great manager won’t win with a crap team. Leo Durocher springs to mind.
The point being we are a bad team with a shitty manager. Bochy knew how to used his bullpen better than say Dusty Baker.
Just because you can’t quantify it doesn’t mean decisions do or don’t matter.
Kuip: “Dubon just asked Pujols for his autograph”
Good one!

Excellent!
Get Bart, Z-Harris!
ah, Mac, as your amateur collaborator, I’d have to say, with all due respect for your ear and your encyclopedic knowledge of the beatles, that you’re sailing pretty close to the jetty rocks of “we love you, bart, bart”
I’m trying to stay away from those early love songs.
That’s awesome, Mac. We just need a video feed of you on a karaoke machine.
I can promise, that’s not something you want.
Bit by bit, Dubon raises his BA–now at .259. Now if he could only learn how to draw a walk here and there he could get his OBP up there a ways.
Griffin done.
Canning seems to be flagging a bit. Now up to 86 pitches as of Solano.
Yup. Angel’s manager caught the same vibe. Now if the Giants mgr had the same elementary horse-sense.
Curiously, Belt appears to have gone the other way on that one to LF.
So this time Belt listened to the 5 coaches telling him to hit it to the opposite field and not the Flap coaches telling him to just hit it the fuck outta here.
Hey Bart,
Don’t take too long
Take this bad team and make it better better better BETTER BETTER BETTER YEAH!!!
Now now now NOW-NOW-NOW NOW!!!!
Yeah, Barty Barty Barty!!!! Hey Barty!!!!
Nice!
Ha, good one.
Bart gets a start, the sun is shining down
He rakes twice as Giants win a game
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good one, Zume.
Another boneheaded meltdown….🙄
I don’t care if he’s under .200, how the hell do you pitch to Pujols with first base open and someone named Jo Adell on deck?
No shit, Mac. Like I said….boneheaded mistake. This team just makes too many of ‘em.
Angel’s mgr got it as noted. Easy to tell Canning was flagging. Anderson was facing the meat of the Angel’s order and it was easy enough to tell that he was running on fumes. A lot of lineups see a pitcher in two ABs and in the third the vets, anyway, have a pretty good read. Kapler should have brought in his best fireman–that is, if we have one.
You have 1st base open, I don’t care if it’s Pujols,Rendon and especially Trout, you walk the son of a bitch and go after to the weaker hitter!!!
Take the last train to Bartsville
And I’ll meet you at the station
Be their by 4:30
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Cause it’s time for Bart
To make it to the show!
And don’t pitch to Yaz with first base open!
Yep, both teams with shit pitching staffs, and the propensity to make those metal errors.
Beautiful job by Yaz after two quick strikes. Ramirez patterned him. YaZmataZ had it figured out. One place he hadn’t pitched him was down and low. Our guy has some amazing hitting instincts and/or a very quick processor.
Yaz man bigtime double!
And right Mac to good of a hitter not to walk him either with 1st base open!
Nice to see another team with a shit BP like are’s..
What a stab!
Doesn’t get any better then Crawford’s pick of that ball at SS..
Bullpen phones in 2020?
Kap and crew are burning-up the bullpen wires this year.
Nice job getting outta the jam by Garcia.
I think I’ll quit while we’re ahead.
