Spanking St. Louie
Ok, in town for a bit before jetting, I only have 8 trillion things to do today.
No Gausman? No problem.
Disco today, it would really be nice to see us turn the tables on this Kim gimmick guy.
Catch you guys during the game hopefully.
Let us know how the golfing has gone…sent you a minor league pic of the kids..
hmmm when did you send it? Don’t see it, re-send. Golf has been great but I’m taking a few days off my right lat is giving me trouble.
Opening Day at Del Mar was great. Couple longshots came in too—2 separate 18-1 winners for Kent Desormeaux and Mario Gutierrez and 12-1 winner for Abel Cedillo in feature $100K Runhappy Oceanside. That was great race on turf, horse went wide on outside to win by nose at wire over Rispoli’s mount.
Christina Blacker did trackside interview with Drayden van Dyke, back after riding in Kentucky. Standing alongside her, you see size of these guys who are such amazing athletes. They to use upper body and legs at 110 lbs to guide and control 1000 lb horse bred to run mile in little over minute and a half, in middle of group full of them.
glad to see you’ve studied this enough to see what type of athletes they are. And Jess Pyfer has really surprised me, she is very talented.
I’ve been everywhere man, I’ve been everywhere man!!
Flavor still on the move, from being pickled in a minor league game to tearing up golf courses, pizza joints& other restaurants, visiting with friends and relatives,and basically having a kick ass vacation,as the SF Giants keeping it real as the Best Team in Baseball!! Life is good 👍
One of the best folk singers. IMO

i still look at a LU like this and shake my head, “these guys suck”. But they don’t. And I still don’t understand why…..
As the old saying goes, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Truly a team effort.
They pitch; they catch; they hit home runs.
KNBR today said 52% of Giants runs are the result of HRs.
I can’t believe it’s that low…
Think I read record with Casali starting is something like 25-6. who knew?
that is interesting–missing Longoria Belt Crawford and Posey. Sum of the parts though. Z talked about potential trades and mentioned not upsetting team chemistry. Said in past he’s brought guys in who didn’t fit (must have been different teams) and he said it’s something to be aware of, despite whatever numbers someone has.
Yeah, the entire old four core are out injured right now.
It’s a really big blow to Belt in a contract year.
Watch out, if no one else is interested, Brandon might take one for the team, breaking the spirit of the suffering masses yearning to be free of him at last …. 👹
flavien Prat wins Grade 1 UN at Monmouth.
Fuck Belt. I’m officially done with him. Flores, Ruf, Casali, anyone can put up better numbers than Belt. Every year it’s one weird fucking injury after another. Sure, he’s a plus defender, but it is hard to snag line drives from the trainer’s room.
Bravo Chuck👏 Belt’s countdown has been going on since ST.Covid-19, Mono, oblique strain, hamstrings, shit I’m surprised he can get out of bed with those 15 + feet and not trip and twist an ankle.You still get 3 Bore cores back next year with Longoria’s untradeable contact but the other 2 Posey&Crawford (2A/S) certainly pulled their weight and will be back.
Yeah, let’s start the in-game interviews in the second inning because fans just can’t get enough of them.
I tuned in today to see an Alex Wood interview.
This really sucks.
I hate interviews with athletes.
Yeah I always like to hear about how hyper Alex Wood is, and needs to be the 1st player out on the field when they take it..
Damn, the Giants can’t hit this guy.
Hey! I get a game on TV!!
Wilmet finally gets a BABIP break…
Fuck.At least it wasn’t a grounder.
Kim is what, 90 seconds between pitches? 2 minutes?
The human sweat delay.
Even for a pitcher that was a crap AB.
He did get screwed by the ump on strike 2, which was clearly outside. Looking for the curveball again on the 1-1 fastball down the middle.
Fuck this.
It is frustrating watching this boring ball in play baseball from 45 years ago. The loss might be sealed in well under 3 hours.
Waiting for the bomb.
Fuck. Still pitching to Goldie after all these years.
The obligatory Goldy HR.
So much for this one.
I’m celebrating the shitty night Arenado is having, at least for now. Don’t call me a doomer.
Wilmer shouldn’t be swinging 2-0 on that…
And he’s been so good about that this year.
And continues to be.
Coime on. We’ve had chances.
Cards with some help and Giants score.
Giants flyballs aren’t even getting close to the warning track.
Christ!!! Run you toad!
LOL!!
Hey, signs of life.
A grave sighting for a run, though I don’t think he gets a RBI..
Now they have something going better late than never..
I guess we wouldn’t want to trade our bullpen for the Cardinals’. Alex Reyes hasn’t blown a save, despite the 32 walks. The only closer who can say that. Remarkable.
wow
Should of taken the HBP Dick!!
Wasting light
Pffffffffffffffffffffffffft.
Pffft
Pisses me off to no end that we keep getting beat by Goldie. 2 managers, 50 different pitchers, annnnnd gone.
It is just a total fucking disgrace that a guy throwing 98 gets calls 3 inches off the plate. *That* is baseball’s biggest problem.
Just a shortage of real good umpires anymore I assume?
Giants fans have been griping about umpire blunders for nearly 140 years. It’s one of the game’s most sacrosanct traditions.
The complaint was more general, but I’ll admit, without a team to root for, baseball would be nothing to me.
And just to piss me off more I have to see another fucking Kershaw commercial!!!
Cardinal announcers are so non-descript, it’s like they’re not even there.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing.
I wonder if they even have names…
Are these the Cards announcers? They are pretty sleep-inducing.
Oh, Donnie Bs
If the Giants had just walked Goldschmidt and Arenado every single AB since they’ve been in the league, I wonder if SF would have been better off?…
Prolly 10 wins worth. And that’s just Goldie.
That’s a pretty awesome question. It could probably be modeled.
Flores keeps on keeping on.
ha shift gifted Wilmet a hit. Otherwise harmless ground ball to 2b.
Cool how about a Kirk Gibson moment Craw…
Wow. Another walk for Reyes. Duggar time. One time, baby!!
Walk works..
Fuck. Can’t even move the runners. We all know he can’t bunt.
Wow. That sucked.
WTF are you swing at????????????????????????
Chance for some Sock Man history…
Oh boy. Time for Sockman’s monthly dinger? It’s the wasted opportunities. . .
I wish Estrada had been in nothing’s too close to take mode.
He’s not playing defense though..
Giants should just keep the bat on their shoulders with this guy. If it’s crooked, it’s not a strike…
dang breaking ball fooling Giants hitters.
Giants seem to get two guys on with zero outs quite often. Very tough for them to get a run in under that scenario without the HR…
Yeah balls in the dirt 2 feet from homeplate don’t usually go out..
Time to get drunk..🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🤪🤪🤪🤪
Everyone was swinging at junk in the end.
Looked like the cards employed almost no shift against Tauchman. What are his zones? He has none.
Twilight Zone?
Frigid zone.
Zero zone.
.000 zone
Someday the outfield will be better than this Slater/Duggar era. That transition is coming.
Is there a Lofton or a Burks available?
Craw was the last real hope but got nothing to hit.
Early video of fans fleeing the nats’ game after the shooting is confusing. Not quite a stampede, thank the lard.
happy to live here. No one I know owns guns.
I don’t want to kill anyone.
Nats game in DC suspended in 6th inning.
Gunshots outside ballpark…
They’re playing through a monsoon in the Bronx…
Well red sucks yanks and tv right?
Jesus. Why is the response to any kind of nationwide problem to buy a gun?
Guy in GA killed a cashier because she told him to put a mask on. Perfectly acceptable response to some folks in this country.
That sucked!
3 guys at the all star game had 16 rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammo. But these are the good people with guns.
Oh my, what a crushing loss by the Mets to the lowly Pirates on a walkoff grand slam.
And I’m talking about the game. haven’t seen any news
Phoenix can’t stop Antetokounmpo.Or Holiday. Or Middleton.
No help tonight from the Rockies, of course.
Borderline call on the alley oop I’d say…
The great Booker blew it. Don’t count him out though.
Stretch there in 3rd Q when Bucks just didn’t miss–all of them including Jrue who really brought it plus Portis and Connaughton. Both teams have depth though and subs/bench guys contribute enough for Ws.
Think that’s something sets both of them apart–other teams just don’t have as many good players to help superstars.
