A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Still In First Place, Barely

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 19, 2021

I mocked the signings of Gausman, Wood and Disco. Any of the 3 could legimately start the all star game. And all 3 should be on the team.

The Padres and Dodgers are coming that is a known fact but at least we are keeping this season interesting. Imagine what we could look forward to if Farhan fixes this bullpen?

Exciting game tonight in LA. We don’t match up too well vs a healthy Laker team but hey it’s all entertainment, right? There’s no way Steph gets an open look tonight but he doesn’t really need one and that will just open it up for other guys anyway. LA by 5 points? Yikes I wouldn’t bet a dollar against Curry and Draymond.

    Só basically if your a Major League Pitcher and you want a no hitter on your resume from these 6 no hitters thrown you only need to face 3 teams for your chances..Indians,Mariners are Rangers all have had 2 no hitters thrown against them..

  2. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 8:40 pm

    5 team fouls in 2 minutes

  3. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 8:42 pm

    They just threw away that 1st half

  4. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on May 19, 2021 at 8:51 pm

    No hitters are meaningless bullshit flukes as I’ve been saying forever.
    Cy Young Timmy couldn’t sniff one.
    Washed up Timmy threw a pair.
    Case closed…

      Except when Nolan Ryan threw them.

      • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on May 19, 2021 at 9:02 pm

        Exceptions that prove the rule.

    The Warriors got loosey-goosey with the ball in the 3rd quarter.

    • James's avatar James said, on May 19, 2021 at 9:56 pm

      Yeah, that sloppiness had seemingly little to do with the Laker defense.

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    Yep, the Dubs gave that away. 10 turnovers in the 3rd quarter? Kerr was slow getting Steph iso’ed. And the refs helped in the 4th. That being said, Bron Bron is such a fucking bitch. Great player, sure, but he acts like he got hit by a car when Dray went up on him. Such candyass bullshit, The drama. The grasping the head. The eyedrops. Please. It was pretty fucking funny when the refs called it common foul.

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 9:59 pm

    San Dawg is on fire. They’ve won 6 in a row?

  8. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 19, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    I said earlier that Steph had to get at least 40 for Dubs to win.
    He got 37, they lost by 3.
    I think Phoenix cleans up the Lakers in no more than 6…

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 10:07 pm

      God I hope so. They looked like shit for a lot of this game. Warriors just flailed in the 3rd.

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 19, 2021 at 10:17 pm

        If the Dubs had Klay they would have taken tonight’s game, hands down…

  9. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 10:05 pm

    Fucking Dodgers are winning as well.

  10. mrsprtdude's avatar mrsprtdude said, on May 19, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Dubs lost because they maddeningly have a stretch in every game where they turn the ball over a bunch of times. Love Steph. Always will, but some of this lose on him. The ALL time greats don’t lose the ball carelessly as often as he does.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 20, 2021 at 7:42 am

      He and Dray get WAY too careless. Not having Oubre was big. Still and all, an epic collapse.

      The hope is they channel their collective fury against Memphis.

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 19, 2021 at 11:13 pm

    The refs made some god awful calls in the 4rh

      Hopefully Cueto will get back to where he was at the start of the season. Cincy is not the place to issue fat ones over the plate.

    If Belt doesn’t play Friday against Bauer they should just DL him..

    Game is on mlb network/ YouTube are own Jeremy Affeldt and some former Reds player Danny Graves calling the game..
    1-0 Giants on an rbi single by Longoria scoring Ruf, going to the bottom of the 1st now..

  21. Winder's avatar Winder said, on May 20, 2021 at 10:26 am

    i love to see the Giants scrapping like this. Yaz’s walk was excellent control at the plate.

  22. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 20, 2021 at 10:30 am

    Meanwhile, the Giants have loaded the bases and scored twice while they talk inanities to Miley Cyrus.

    Dug that one out! Strange game.

    Amateur announcer’s tryout day, too. You know you’re in trouble when Jeremy Affeldt is best in booth.

    Gotta like the interminable Giants highlights they show instead of ads, though. (How often has a clip included Miller or Kuip describing the action with Estes chiming in: “Yeah, he can hit”; or “Man, he’s a pitcher.”)

    They have Bitch slapped all starting pitchers this year, it’s just incredible..

    Now can Cueto cruise a while?

  48. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 20, 2021 at 10:58 am

    He needs to get guys out and not nibble.

    • James's avatar James said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:03 am

      But per Affeldt he still needs to pitch, and not just throw the ball over the plate. Such a fine line, how can Cueto possibly handle it?!?

  49. xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:02 am

    Full count before a booming double to start the cruise — that ain’t smooth sailing, and the pitch count’s ready to yaw.

  55. James's avatar James said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:14 am

    If Naquin had taken ball 4 — he had 2 opportunities — Cueto would have been nibbling. As it is, he was “pitching.”

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:20 am

      Well, 65 pitches in 3 innings isn’t pitching. It’s struggling to put guys away.

      • James's avatar James said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:25 am

        But maybe not nibbling. My take is that nibbling is often either a simple inability to throw a strike/hit the target or hitters laying off pitches out of the zone that, when they’re hacked at, are praised for fooling the batters. There isn’t some fearful “nibbling” mind set that all of a sudden invades the pitcher’s psyche every time there’s a loss of command. The hitters, not the pitchers, are the ones who control ABs.

      • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:39 am

        Well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 20, 2021 at 11:56 am

      Not the altitude. The bandbox. Although tht bomb was a bomb in 30 out of 30 parks. Even our old configuration.

      • Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on May 20, 2021 at 12:07 pm

        Fuck yeah. That was a tape measure shot.

    • Lurker John's avatar Lurker John said, on May 20, 2021 at 12:07 pm

      That right field is a joke and not to major league standards, imo. Way too easy to hit them out there. Outside of throwing obscene amounts of cash at them, how do they get any free agent pitchers to sign there? I think it was Estes who said the other day that Great American Ballpark serves up more homers than Coors Field. If that doesn’t put it into perspective, I don’t know what will, because Coors is a joke too.

      As for Duggar, nice work so far, but I think we’d all like to see him do it for a full season or at least an extended period of time. Right now he’s sure earning his keep. With his defense, any respectable offense at all makes him pretty valuable.

  71. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 20, 2021 at 12:02 pm

    I don’t know the altitude in Cincinnati is 482
    SF is only 52, GD needs a bomb at home to convince me.
