These Guys Want To Stay
GraveDuggar, Wade, Vosler…..who, exactly, is going to get sent down when we start getting some of our infirmed back? I guess it will be Vos but man I like that kid’s stroke.
Belmont Stakes day today! I know we’ve all been looking forward to this thread 🙂
I could obviously see Essential Quality win but there’s better value out there. I’m not running Rombauer back mostly because he’s facing a better field, the odds won’t be there and, I know this isn’t the most important thing but he’s so small and this race is SOOOOO long.
Anyway I couldn’t split hairs between Known Agenda and Hot Rod Charlie so I’m just going to use them both in my p4 and p3. Gun to my head and I only got to pick 1? Known Agenda. Good luck to you if you’re playing!
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Vosler has a great looking swing, something you could really see last night. Short, powerful and balanced, with no wasted motion. It looks to me like he could hit some homers if he keeps developing. Wade’s is looking pretty good too. All three guys are contributing right now and that’s one sign of a good team. Plug a guy in and he gets the job done.
GO GIANTS!
All the balls that left the stadium yesterday has some serious zip to em. This team just steps up when they need too.
If I could send Tauchman down I would.He couldn’t even hit batting practice pitching right now.I hate these 5 years experience rule where you can’t send a guy down without his permission.Who’s ever going to voluntarily say, yeah I suck I need to go down and work on my hitting and play down in Sacramento everyday..
Maybe the yanks dumped Tauchman for a reason. 3rd or 4th organization? I’ve switched to we can win now until proven otherwise? maybe this year has some magic in it, who knows. I’d release Tauchman vs sending someone down. Unless we think he is another Yaz in the making….
Still hard to see it or say it but SF Giants the best team in baseball slightly more than 1/3 of the way though the season.
Reread that!
Tauchman does draw a lot of walks, but that’s because he bats 8th, and the opponent wants to pitch to the pitcher.
Mike Smith.
Major respect for the Grave Duggar…
1. LaMonte Wade Jr (L) 1B
2. Alex Dickerson (L) LF
3. Evan Longoria (R) 3B
4. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
5. Steven Duggar (L) CF
6. Mike Tauchman (L) RF
7. Jason Vosler (L) 2B
8. Chadwick Tromp (R) C
9. Kevin Gausman (L) P
3/All/6…
One down!
Listening to Christone “Kingfish” Ingram today. 22 year old bluesman from Clarksdale MS. “Outside of This Town” gets some airplay, I think, but his range is vast. Now there’s a show I would go out of my way to attend.
This is why Irad Ortiz isn’t riding today.
Almost killed by his own brother…

Kazmir definitely needed to go because he sucks, but I can’t imagine Doval improved much in his brief time in AAA.
Yeah, kinda hard to see him controlling that fastball of his since his last time up. But maybe him being a little wild isn’t such a bad thing. Using him for a inning here and there will offset the bullpen routine.
We haven’t seen the last of Kaz I bet. You think someone will claim him? The Giants have a week to put him back on the 40, too, I think. Webb is broken.
Probably not, xoot, but he still sucks. I’m hopeful Webb will come back in a few weeks all healed up.
LOL OUCH!
Wow crazy world we’re still living in Day to Day..
Jon Rahm leading the Memorial Tournament by 6 strokes after a brilliant 64 going into tomorrow’s final rd at 18 under par tested covid positive was told by an pga official staff walking off to sign his 3rd rd score card.He has now withdrawn from the tournament and a certain win.
i don’t have him in my p3/p4 (only the 4/6) but my ex-girlfriend just texted me saying Bourbonic is going to win. Normally I’d dismiss the random yammerings of a lass but she did pick Giacomo, cold on top in the Derby years ago and she’s also done well in the Belmont so……..I gotta put something to win on him.
Tauchman batting 6th, it’s a good game for him to do something.
Shit I was just goofing around with a buddy texting before the race and I told him it will be Essential Quality,Hot Rod Charlie and I’ll throw in Roumbauer for the trifecta and I nailed it cold lol 😂
gotta say that shit B4 the race my man, lol
4 ran an incredible race. Went WAY too fast early, still had enough gas and will left in the tank to make a race of it in the stretch. Game fucker.
I don’t think Known Agenda has any interest in being a racehorse….
I’ve seen a number of videos of that kid playing, xoot. He’s one hell of an axeman. At 22, it’ll be interesting to see how his career goes. With all that talent, he has a lot of headroom to grow. Very expressive player.
And, yeah, that would be a great live show to attend, preferably in a small venue.
Wade got ripped off by the ump.
So did the Grave Duggar…
Gausman should get the same overly big strike zone then.
That’s a generous hit for Tauch.
Grave Duggar’s gotta cut down on the Ks and put more balls in play.
Utilize that speed…
Dick HR!
Craw ripped off! 3rd guy!
Ump completely helping out the Cubs pitcher.
Incorrect ball strike calls need to be fixed a whole lot more than the shift. They have a disproportionately negative effect on a smart team like the Giants.
Do both.
The shift is a non issue, read the article I posted yesterday. It’s a KNBR caller kinda concern.
I liked that article. Did part two determine if strike outs rose in ABs against the shift as did launch angles?
This Cub pitcher would very likely not be in the game right now if it weren’t for the umpiring.
Totally agree.
RBI single from the backup catcher!
Nice RBI! Tromp 2021! 🙂
You’ve been waiting for that one!
Admittedly so.
Grave Duggar continues his assault on majority Flap knowledge
If he exchanged a few Ks for walks while continuing to hit for power, he’d be the starting CFer for the next few years.
Yep.Between Sockless&GD just way to many K’s for both.
No choice but to play them both for now though..
I can’t decide if Nance’s neckwear thing is really cool or just ignorable.
Winkler looks like he should be playing bass in a 90s guitar band. Right now, he’s pitching like it, too.
I get nervous watching Longo running from first to home.
Just waited for Fox announcer to say it….
‘ this Giants team is dangerous’…….
Runner on second, no out, and Duggar and Tauchman are swinging like Babe Ruth. It’s today’s baseball in a nutshell.
Tauchman swung at a pitch out of the strike zone, which is not what the Giants are about.
First “center cut” of the game?
But wasn’t it with an additional half-ass rhetorical flourish? “Center cut and hit to center field for an out” or something like that? Not quite as bad.
Right now Tauchman could have center butt and still miss it..
ah, a Pride Month post?
Baez is not destined for the Giants.
Did I just hear Floyd’s “Money” for Gausman’s walk-up?
I missed it.
Gausman’s AB was a strong argument for the DH.
So a Casali &Tauchman AB..
Tromp with two slick plays. While baserunning, the early slide to avoid a tag, and then tagging out Rizzo.
the tag was easy. I am glad he’s the backup now, though.
Gausman is a joy to watch. Please stay healthy.
Double dose of McGee&Rodgers coming up.
Atleast Kapler wised up and switch their roles, I feel a hell of alt better seeing Rodgers in the 9th anytime..
Tauch can’t hit but he sure does work the count, that must be his appeal to Z and Kap.
He looks like he’s in one of those Belt funks where he’ll never pull a fastball again. He’s actually got two line drives today, one of them hit pretty hard to LF, but he is not getting around on the fastball.
Kap needs to give up on him and just start someone else, regardless of righty/lefty match-ups.
Then there are days when McGee looks unhittable. With one pitch. And Tromp looks good behind the plate. If he contributes anything at all offensively, and he already has today, I don’t care if we never see Casali again.
McGee is interesting in that the fastball is 94 sometimes, 97 sometimes, etc. Just enough of a little difference.
Another Giants run would be groovy.
I think they’ve had a runner on every inning.
Dubon should have been on second.
Goddamn it Dubon.
Bringing Dubon in was a bit of over-managing.
WTF is his problem???
Shaky as hell at times in the field.
As uneven as the bullpen has been, they have been betrayed by the defense a lot this year.
Dubon giving Donnie Bobbles a run for the money.
Rally complements of Mauricio Dubon.
This should not even be happening. Fuck.
Jesus pull your head out of your Ass Dubon!
First you should of been on 2B easy on the pitch in the dirt to the catcher, now 2 screwups with the glove!
we sure don’t make it easy
You have got to be kidding me.
Good fucking Lord.
Now I’ve seen everything…
What the hell was Longoria doing.
Wow. Giving this away and taking out half the bore core.
What the fuck is happening on the infield this inning??
Wow, what a clusterfuck on D.
Baseball Gods?
Dubon is more worried about that fucking card than making a routine play.
He drives me nuts with that stupid fuckin card.
Does he have one with pussy eating directions?
That Crawford model glove is dangerous!
One. More. Out.
For 7 this inning
Yesss!!
Fuckin A
Major kudos to Rogers for getting out of that mess. Fucking Dubon and his mental errors. And Longo, dude what were you thinking?!
Thank you Tyler …
Victory!
