Forget The Border, SF Giants Fans Are Taking Over Texas
Brandon Crawford is 34 and it’s June 9th and he is already tied for the second most bombs he’s had in a season. Not bad for someone we all thought was a Bore Core Donzo.
Wet Sock Man sure packs a punch at the right time for a .190 hitter, eh?
And I know it’s time to get start excited about the Giants when we begin to get road rep from Flap vets:
WilcoJoe, once you’ve successfully stormed Globe Life Park and completed the insurrection please snap a pic and email in to me, thanks. bigflavor77@gmail.com
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
WilcoJoe!
Hell Ya! Our main man Wilco shaking it up down Texas way! Hope to see him on here, soon. I miss him.
Going today for the Giants is that infamous TBD. I had heard they were going to bring up Sam Long from Sacto to toss today’s game. But I am also seeing that Littell may get the start (bullpen game).
that’s the plan. Littell starts, Long gets the bulk
Yeah, interesting as I see no transactions on Long, and he is not listed on the 40.
Wilmer in the DH today. Chomp behind the dish…
1. LaMonte Wade Jr (L) RF
2. Brandon Belt (L) 1B
3. Wilmer Flores (R) DH
4. Brandon Crawford (L) SS
5. Donovan Solano (R) 2B
6. Steven Duggar (L) CF
7. Jason Vosler (L) 3B
8. Chadwick Tromp (R) C
9. Mike Tauchman (L) LF
GO GIANTS!
Great pic from wllco in flap bucket. Maybe Baggs is there in house today too.
Nice message in tweet too…Cali ain’t perfect but at least we ain’t Texas.
I lived in TX for 3 years in the ’90s.
Then, with Dubya as governor, I thought It was crazy there.
But, compared to now, it was somewhat sane …
mm ever read Molly Ivins? good stuff. “Shrub” is good account of Bush II running for governor. For awhile she had column syndicated that would show in Chron. Really enjoy her take as local Texan.
I read Molly’s columns a lot, when I was there, and after via her syndication..
Her writings were a hoot, and often spot-on right.
Too bad she died before the last “president” took over. She would have had a field day…

It will be one hell of a day in Texas when Sammy Long& the Tops complete the sweep 🧹 of the Rangers!
This game is perfect timing to see this kid with the 12-6 break on his curve ball to go along with 95 cheese! Hope to get a big enough lead to only need to use Littel, Long,and Mendez which would be some epic classic rock 🎸
So let’s have some “Gimme some of Lovin” and wear are “Cheap Sunglasses 😎 “ as the Giants keep amazing the baseball world with the BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL ⚾️ man that feels great to say!!
Wisler DFA-ed.
SF no longer has anyone with an elite spin rate.
Why not let GD try to steal one?
Agree Loo, No reason not to send Lighting Flash Duggar in that situation..
Well, Long will always remember that the Grave Duggar made the play on his very first ML pitch…
How’s that for Sammy’s debut after a fly out 2 straight K’s as the Sammy Long cheering 📣 section goes wild!
Wilco front and center.
That is bad ass.
Why don’t he post here anymore?
he’s very active on twitter. There’s something about not like to post here from his ph or something like that.
Nice those seats are rad Wilco!
Guess as bad as the Rangers are great seats are opening up.
Man that’s a pretty cool section just behind the plate as well with full tables and food&drinks..
$1500 to sit there at Yankee Stadium.
Probably $75 in Arlington…
Giants gave Wisler Slider plenty of rope which he finally hung himself with his atrocious pitching.Super happy that Z/Harris don’t dick around, they have some quality arms that are biting on the bit do get there chance and they look like they are going to give them a chance! Just awesome approach by Z/Harris which was slow in developing in the past..
Long K’s Ralphalfa Kiner…
Long mowing ’em down…five Ks in two IP.
The Long Mower?
Long’s motion looks a bit rough and off balance finish.
Maybe they can work on that.
Hopefully that won’t stress something(s).
I heard on radio he had back disc issues in college.
Otherwise, let the kid pitch and see what happens.
If he’s striking out a brace of batters every inning, might as well be MLB batters…
Vos bomb!
Vos Bop-uli!
7 strikeouts and only a walk in 3 innings so far is nothing to sneeze about. Even if they let him work out of the pen it’s an upgrade over Wilser Slider provided..
Vosler foul pole bomb love it!!
Tromp power!
Back to back Jacks!!!
Tromping this team!!
Giants are just an HR machine.
I don’t see why Tromp can’t be the backup C, the guy actually can hit the ball. Defensively, he seems just fine to me. Let the pitchers and he get acquainted and move onward…
Absolutely!
Let Casali go play with Wisler.
Christmas is over and business is business…
I was impressed with Tromp’s interview the other day. He just sounded extremely confident about being in the big leagues.
Agree… Casali can catch a fucking slow boat to China….one way ticket.
Lulz Chi, I was thinking a raft without paddles with delirious Wisler keep saying Slider Slider Slider…
He’s at least as good as Casali behind the plate. Let the kid play.
Bombs away, Texas bitches.
When the Giants come to town…
It’s bye-bye baby!
Excellent debut for the Long reliever.
Agreed. I’d keep him up here for some long relief. If he succeeds, he stays. If not, back to Sac for seasoning. Let him get some MLB level coaching for a while to help get his pitch count down a bit, and smooth out that motion…
I rarely criticize Kap, but yanking Vosler out all the time for Dubon, I don’t like it.
Dubious D
Dubon should be taking a bunch of grounders every day at his 3b, SS and 2B utility positions. And practicing DP catch and throw ball transfer from glove to hand at 2b. Maybe he is…
Oh Jon that’s far from looking like Sam Selman my man..
That upper deck in left field looks kind of precarious.
Billy Gibbons Mendez for the K! Pretty cool to see a game that starts at 7:30 AM.
About 20 years ago the Mets opened the season in Japan.
There was a pretty wacky time difference, too…
Giants should do a PR video of the ZZTop boys with Mendez&Littel on lead guitars Cueto on drums and Crawford lead vocals all with sunglasses on..
ZZ Top boys gettin’ it done in Texas.
Gimme all your strikeouts.
All your k’s and groundouts too . . .
SF could use another run here, heading into bottom 9th.
Most likely, that would mean from an HR…
Giants really need the Flores/Solano pair to get going. They’re getting a lot of playing time now.
Could sure use an insurance bomb from the Grave Duggar…
All the extra foul balls nowadays just beat up catchers.
Man this catcher is took a beating by Dubon’s AB.
Ok time to get it done by Rodgers for the save and sweep..
Yep. Back to speeding up the game, the easiest way to do it is call the correct strike zone. If pitchers got the high strike, ABs would be much faster.
Dubon switched in for Vosler and struck out twice.
Oh boy. This got ugly quick.
This is the issue with Rogers as closer. I don’t think he’s the end solution as closer.
He’s not a swing and miss closer.
Grounders will get through, or have to be fielded and always subject to errors…
There you go. Game tied due to a grounder, steal, pop up…
He’s also got a long delivery that is easy to steal on.
Rogers’ numbers are good, but it’s hard to feel comfortable with him.
He’s absolutely not the end solution at closer. He just doesn’t have swing and miss stuff. WTF was Wade playing so deep.
He was safe.
Rogers is the last guy I want in there in a tight game. Way too hittable.
Asinine it took that long.
ZMan has to get a closer.
This can’t continue into the post-trade deadline part of the season.
McGoo is a gopher ball threat, and Rogers gives up too much contact for a one run save situation in the 9th.
Hell, if Long had some experience, his swing and miss stuff with control is closer material…
Agree. That should be a top priority right now. Rogers is a good role pitcher, but that role ain’t closer. Set up guy along with McGoo.
Way to deep by Wade jr, no way they score that run with that short of a fly ball ..
Lucky to get the call at 2nd ! Shit extra innings on the blown save..
FUUUUUCVK
Tromp with a clutch knock.
To me, he’s already Wally Pipped what’s his name…
Cant score om a base hit, runner on 2nd.
Bleeeeh
Wtf is Dubon doing Jesus Christ get the read and go!!!!
This is the problem with SF outfielders.
None of them are consistently successful as hitters.
Slater was on fire, now he’s been ice cold for a while. His double play grounder there scores the run, but sucks otherwise to stop a bigger rally. Duggar has been a surprise at the plate, but no guarantee at all he keeps hitting. Really wondering if Ramos can be moved up by mid-summer…
Mr. Rogers again?
Really losing my patience with Dubious Dubon.
That was Sammy Long’s win that Rodgers blew in his debut,definitely sucks for the kid, he got Cained..
Wow. If ever we need a K, it’s now.
He was trying to walk him the whole at bat
Into extra innings with the runner starting on second, you have to have a pitcher(s) that can strike guys out…
A closer should be feared.
Not so sure, Winder.
Everyone throws high 90’s now.
What’s to fear?
Wow. Tromp with the throw out.
That’s settles it for me. He needs to be the backup for Posey…
Tromp getting it done when Rodgers can’t to end the inning as the game goes on.
McGoo next I assume? Oh joy..
Wade with a boneheaded game all around. Still trying to figure out where the fuck he was on the pop up.
Phuck me.
How does Wade make that dumbass mistake?
Giants just pissing this one away…
This is the first game that Wade has looked rookie-ish.
And the dumb base running continues..
I despise this extra inning rule. Dumbest thing in the history of the sport.
It’s the dumbest thing ever.
At least last year there was a plausible reason for it.
Now it’s just fuckin stupid!
What are the odds McGoo gets through this inning without handing over the game?
10-1 ?
Odds are getting better now Snarkk..
Well there’s a gift out..
Goddamn two strike pitch. what the fuck
