What I truly enjoy about this years Giants is that we can score some runs. That is a true bright spot for me. There are quite a few things I don’t particularly like but we all knew coming into this year that we would have our share of kinks. Defense and pitching for the most part hasn’t been up to par but if we continue to score a bunch or runs we just might do something this year.
- Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:42 am
  
  Who wouldda thunk it—Giants as a major offensive power? Not I, for sure. It appeared that that they would be hapless, helpless and hopeless…not quite hardly.
  
  Central to the upsurge has been the all-around greatness of YaZmaTaZ…see my comments below and scroll back to yesterday’s blog.
  
  Zaidi has done an incredible job (along with his scouts and research people) of doing their due diligence and constantly sweeping the trash-heap for much needed help. Additional to pulling Yaz out from under the sorely needful (but overlooking their own talent-pool) Orioles; Z, Harris and their boys also struck paydirt in Flores and Solano. Execs of the year…a no-doubter. Not many among the MLB brass are capable of creating silk purses outta sow’s ears.
Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:34 am

For those who didn’t check the blog post-game, I did some research on current stats for YaZmaTaZ and was totally blown away by how many categories in which he is currently very high on the leader-board. Final stat cited is the critically important one of XBH’s…see how he compares with Tatis in that one. Enjoy.
- djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 9:23 am
  
  Yaz is definitely big news and MLB should play it up for all it’s worth.
  By the end of this toy season, he’ll have the equivalent of a full year in the bigs.
  The numbers are unlike anything Giant fans have seen since Buster was in his prime:

  - Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:18 am
    
    Don’t much understand advanced stats—lack of diligent research,, I guess. But when you compare # of XBH’s with hit total and consider that they represent OVER half of that total, we are looking at something quite amazing.
    
    YaZmaTaZ evidently has achieved an incredible level of bat control plus hard contact. Triples are my prime indicator marker–particularly for players who are not through the roof speedsters. What that tells me is that his pitch assessment reflex combo are at some stratospheric level. Yaz has gone exponential on Wee Willie Keeler’s “hit em where they ain’t” dead-ball era philosophy. It’s like he has finessed a whole nother dimension.
    
    The quality that makes our man a totally different kind of star is his unassuming, quiet professionalism, a truly rare commodity among today’s marquee players. Overall, he may compare favorably across the board with Mookie and Tatis, but he is and will remain hard to hype.
    
    As a recovering adman, my recommendation would be along the lines of his inherited genetic makeup, a baseball family affair. IF MLB is serious about appealing to newer generations, something along those lines could get some play. Looking at him, Yaz is Walter Mitty’s wet-dream, a “Damn Yankees” Joe Average, who just happens to be an unfolding super-star. Baseball is far and away the most classically romantic of all major sports, as it has the power of appealing to a very broad spectrum of humanity. YaZmaTaZ could be the poster-boy for fan self-identification among most social classes and who spans inter-generational chasms. Yeah, set him down with grandpa Carl and play the whole family fun together meme for all it’s worth.

  I remember that like it was yesterday. Giant/Dodger games were so much fun. i knew Juan fucked up but even as a kid I rationalized it.
- Flavor said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:19 am
  
  holy shit! I’ve never seen this
- Bozo said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:40 am
  
  If I remember right, things started to cool down when Mays put his hat on Roseboro’s head and helped lead him off the field.
willedav said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:59 am

Fuentes with bat fully extended an awesome still pic if you can find it. Mays major peacemaker helped get Roseboro some attention and out of further harms way.

djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 9:13 am

We talk about it most years on the anniversary. I’m still amazed by the fact that just 4 days before, I’d watched Fuentes (on TV in black & white) make his big league debut behind Marichal vs. Mets. I told my dad if he doesn’t pan out, we should try to get Ron Hunt…

https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SFN/SFN196508180.shtml
- Macdog said, on August 22, 2020 at 9:41 am
  
  Looks like Hunt came back that season from the shoulder injury.
djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 9:33 am

My idea of a great trivia question is who completed Marichal’s AB after the incident?
alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:12 am

Well I will help you out Loo,
It was rookie infielder Bob Schroeder completed the AB and eventually struck out.
After Mays later hit a 3 run homer off a shaken still Koufax to give them a 4-2 lead Ron Herbel pitched 5 1/3 innings replacing Marichal of exceptional ball, and then Murakami got the last 2 outs for the save I believe?
- djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:18 am
  
  Good job, Kat. I knew Schroeder was the answer but did not remember Murakami.
  Things drop in and out of my memory these days…
  - Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:27 am
    
    What!!! You’re telling me that your memory-glands are sagging as much as mine? Own up now. I’m a 44-model of theWarBaby generation, one of the smallest and most exclusive ones out there, as we cover only a six year span and in the main, do not much resemble those born in the Dirty Thirties and sorta serve as precursors to the Boomers. That group soared on the music that “my generation” effloresced. But that’s okay, we elders are all in this thing together, doing our levelest to hold this mess together in some state of balance.
  - alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:33 am
    
    I was listening to that game on my transistor radio and remember thinking holy shit this is bad a full out brawl and Roseboro getting clubbed my Marichal needing a lot of stitches very ugly for baseball.Mays stepped in and played peacemaker pulling Roseboro to the side and even tended to his wound and without him it could of been even worse, Mays was credited with diffusing the ugly situation..
    
    I have a trivia question as well.. Who took over catching for Roseboro?
  - djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:36 am
    
    If it wasn’t Torborg, I have no clue…
djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 10:39 am

Definitely sagging here, Stix.
Constantly googling stuff that I used to know instantly.
Pretty sure I still know all 145 Derby winners.
Always a hit at parties…
willedav said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:03 am

Loo’s 9:58 is the one I remember. Fuentes is ready to explode on someone; good thing cooler heads (somewhat) prevailed eventually.

those times of summer family took couple week vacation to visit relatives in Downieville off Hwy 49/Yuba r. The morning chron would show up at the general store about 4 in afternoon so we’d walk down the hill into “town” around then. so that is first I saw or heard what happened.
djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:06 am

This is no youth movement.
For better or worse, Giants are going for it this season.
Cueto is not getting dealt and the offers will probably be shit anyway.
Easier to say that during a winning streak…
- sandog said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:09 am
  
  Agree. I think it’s actually quite similar to the approach Sabean and Evans had been taking.
  
  Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
- unca_chuck said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:49 am
  
  Yep. All this talk about trading Johnny B Goode negates the fact that most prospects aren’t playing anyway. More than likely, they’d be better off waiting till next year and a better offer.
  
  Same goes for Yaz and Solano.
alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:29 am

Jeff Torborg it was Nice job Loo!
alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:36 am

Yeah 21 mil is a lot to absorb for any team willing to give up some decent prospects..
Outside chance maybe? Since the Braves took on Melonface maybe there up for Cueto since their Starting staff has been hit hard by injuries, though they can probably win that division without him..
- djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:58 am
  
  From what I understand, winning the division is pretty meaningless as far as getting any kind of advantage in the postseason…
willedav said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:46 am

Those Yaz numbers from B/R are amazing. At home this year slash line .348/.464/.739 for 1.203 OPS so far.
That last AB knock was a beauty too, smacking line drive into LF corner on a hop. 3 of his 6 HRs off LHP.
- willedav said, on August 22, 2020 at 12:10 pm
  
  over 12 games, admittedly small sample size.
snarkk said, on August 22, 2020 at 11:49 am

Winder’s starter post is spot on for me.
It’s fun having a team that actually can hit HRs, score runs. The inept offense mode has been exhausting all these years, even when the pitching was good. Small sample size, but this has to be the best Giants offense in over a decade. Better than any of the champ teams, they were all about pitching. Too bad this squad’s pitching is a musical chairs game; but that’s what happens when the entire roster, the entire organization actually, is in total transition in a multi-year rebuild…
willedav said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:05 pm

Loo thx for box score on fuentes debut day. Marichal in mid August after shutting out Mets on 3 hits had an ERA of 1.73. Wound up 2.13 for the season in 296 innings…suspension was 8 games wasn’t it? yeow
Mays at 1.000 OPS and Mac not too far behind him.
Cepeda had to play LF to get in the lineup.
- alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:31 pm
  
  Yeah it was 8 games (10 games with doubleheader’s)
  Marichal’s fine was a paltry 1,750 bucks which today would of equated to 15,000..
Winder said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:14 pm

I just hope we can keep on winning some games especially against division foes.
Flavor said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:16 pm

Singer is pitching vs the Twins for his third straight start. That’s a little ridiculous if you stop and think about it.
Flavor said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:17 pm

can you imagine how stupid the O’s feel for letting Yaz get away for nothing?
- Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:26 pm
  
  O’s organization needs to take some smart pills. Maybe it’s an ownership thing.
alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:25 pm

If Slater being dicey at best with his elbow strain and now a groin strain, I’m just wondering if they put him on the 10day and bring back my boy Jaylin Davis? Yeah I’m probably dreaming they’re dumb enough to bring the grave Duggar back first..
Flavor said, on August 22, 2020 at 1:28 pm

“Grave Dugger” that’s a good one.
snarkk said, on August 22, 2020 at 2:02 pm

Like I said before, Duggar and Slater seem to be always get hurt. Now, Slater with a pulled whatever. I know they are not trying to get hurt. But, as they say, a player’s first ability is availability…
- zumiee said, on August 22, 2020 at 2:37 pm
  
  The Sac Kings are dealing with this with Marvin Bagley, who they drafted ahead of Doncic. In three seasons, Bagley has been out with injuries a lot. Bagley has tremendous potential, but can’t stay on the court.
  - zumiee said, on August 22, 2020 at 2:39 pm
    
    Speaking of Doncic, he recently got injured.
    “Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s Game 4 due to a sprained left ankle that caused him to exit Friday night’s 130-122 loss to the LA Clippers in the fourth quarter.”

Tromp in the squat. That makes no sense to me. Maybe Bart will PH.

Giants going for five straight: Yaz RF, Dickerson LF, Solano 2B, Belt 1B, Longoria 3B, Flores DH, Crawford SS, Tromp C, Duggar CF. Anderson LHP

Marlins Nats game with bases loaded Robles of Nats hit a line drive right at LF. It appeared to be knuckling, said announcers, but hit right in the guy’s glove. The stop action shot showed him leaning back away from it, and the ball popped out for an error/run scored. Robles was given credit for rbi, Nats up 5-0.
but this one will show up on high (or low) lights.
- alleykat69 said, on August 22, 2020 at 3:20 pm
  
  Speaking of low light reels,Phillies Jose Alvarez luckily escaped major damage to his balls and maybe even pitch again this weekend. The ball crushing exit speed off the bat was 105 mph!!
  Holy Crap 💩 I still cringe when I’ve seen the replay.But the gamer that he was in the moment he still made the play at 1st base before collapsing and seeing stars in utter pain..

No it makes sense Bart is out in this one.He just caught 7 hours of baseball they weren’t about to burn him out.He will catch tomorrow, be available to PH tonight. What’s really tragic they put Slater on the 10 day DL,
But they bring back the GraveDuggar which pisses me off 😡
xoot said, on August 22, 2020 at 3:17 pm

I thought it made more sense to let Bart catch three night games and then give him a break on the day game before an off day. I mean, he has been catching in Sactown, right? Zum may be right about the hit he took last night. I think Krukow said it was the biceps, but I also think he missed that call. Would anyone ever take Kruk or Kuip to the bank?

    No one faster from second to home than Davis.

  He messed up. He stopped too soon. He should have run closer to the second baseman and forced him to make a tag. That would have given Belt time to be safe at first.

Man what is it that he can’t do!

Krukow was wrong- Pence on the Fence wasn’t in a World Series. I think it was a playoff game vs. Nats in ‘14.

  yes. Can’t believe he fucked that up

    Jason Wyrth hit the ball, I think.

i saw something earlier today, I think it’s his grandad’s bday? It was a video of him making a great catch in LF many years ago. Too bad he’s such a dick or Yaz’ catch tonight would have been a little cooler

  You heard Carl was a dick?

Those are cool Giants uniforms on tonight.That SF emblem really pops..

Kat I was thinking same thing, AZ just isn’t the same without Golds around. Lamb used to burn us too.

  I think Lamb used to kill Casilla.

    Wow!!!

Craw having a sloppy night.
Macdog said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:08 pm

Great catches by Dick and Yaz, and then Craw effs up the shutout.
unca_chuck said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:15 pm

DAMN!! Close!! 3 hits, 3 doubles for Bart. Dude has a very quiet steady swing. Shoulda been up 2 weeks go.
Macdog said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:15 pm

Bart oh-so-close!
djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:15 pm

He’s a doubles machine!

Damn! Joey was robbed!
Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:17 pm

Come next season it may well be the Daily Doubles–YaZmaTaZ vs Bart. One of them might readily top the league in that category.
willedav said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:18 pm

wow that was a rocket missed by inches.
then AZ reliever walks Dubon on 4 pitches, big mistake.
djloo27 said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:19 pm

Carl’s catch was off Bench in the ASG.
I think 1968.
The ASG was so huge then…
snarkk said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:19 pm

I am diggin’ me some BART ! …
Musta been that extra month in Sac that he learned to hit…
Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:20 pm

Kap made a couple of astute (v LHP) PH moves –even if a bit obvious–Now let’s cash in with nobody out and yessir yessir, three bags full.
Carstie Clausen said, on August 22, 2020 at 8:23 pm

Haven’t I seen this movie before–like recently. Base on balls with the sacks jammed.
