Steve Sax
I went to youtube to try to find some vid clips of Sax and his yippy throws but there wasn’t anything obviously available. That surprises me, that’s a name that, to me, will always be crystal clearly associated with terrible throws.
And now you can add another Dodger to that list.
How many balls does one throw in a lifetime? Just a regular person like yourself. Have I thrown 25,000 balls in my life (baseball, softball, whiffle)? I would say easily. And never in my life have I thrown a ball that was as off line as Belly’s wayward throw last night. I don’t buy that he didn’t have it gripped properly. You know what you do if you don’t have a ball gripped properly and you’re not an idiot? You don’t throw it. Sweat on it? Maybe that was it and it just slipped out of his hand.
Or maybe he’s got a little Sax in him?
Wonderful, cheapo win last night that was certain to send their fanbase into the deepest of doldrums……
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Looks like the Tigers and the Twins played a football game.
T-Bone had a lotta bad luck this inning, but he wasn’t as sharp the second time through the LU. Por ejemplo: First time, he scared Turner with a cut FB at the hands, forcing him to spin away, while the ump called it a strike on the inside corner. Perfect. I could hear Merry Clayton screaming. Second time, the same pitch had a less terrifying lateral break, and Turner, down the barrel but not far enough down, hit a weak ass RBI bloop into RF. That time, I could hear nothing but the dodger fans at the park.
That’s some fine edged razor sharpness there!
in the loupe, maybe. maybe not.
Ramos yesterday 2-5 2 doubles 2 rbis and an assist from Rf to 2b. J Davis 1-3 singled scored a run.
That was pretty funny. Alvarez couldn’t believe it. I’m surprised the ump didn’t ring him up for just being slow out of the box.
Come on Alvarez if you stay up there long enough the ump will change his mind and call it strike 3.
Buster has started his day off early. Damn.
Don’t trade Bart.
Surprised nobody here seems too upset about Marte.
We shoulda got him.
Is Luzardo a big deal?
Luzardo was considered a top 20 in all of baseball prospect couple years ago. Very young still. For a rental in Marte, Marlins landed a potential big time arm…great move for them and better obviously than anyone put on the table.
Luzardo only turns 24 in Sept
Luzardo was terrific with the a’s for a while, but he cooled off and got sent to vegas.
And maybe someone we should pursue as a free agent because the A’s aint signing him but could see the big bad Yankees landing him…he solves way more issues for them than Gallo does…
Which Marte? Sterling’s 32 and not really anything to build around. He’s not a platoonie though I don’t know. Nothing special. Neither is the Jesus. But don’t fuck with the Jesus.
Loo..He’s young 23,does have strikeout stuff but wild too.A’s sent him down to Vegas cause of just that.
If he ever gets it together and that’s a big IF he could turn out ok.Then just as easily a Bust..
Basically the A’s get Marte for free as the A’s made the Marlins pickup the balance of his money on his contract. A steal for the A’s in this one as Luzardo will probably go to AAA first..
Nah not in on Marte and Luzardo has lot of fine tuning to be viable starter. If you look at his (marte) career splits vs. LHP, they aren’t any better than Slater. Let Kap play his platoon ball and save a prospect and pitcher or two.
Of course the one game we get on tv of this series it is a fart start.
Everything’s free on Bilasport!!!
Oh Grave digger. No hit and now no field? I guess let the Dogs have one laugher. This game is a wash.
Oh boy. Welcome back to not being with the big club, Sammy.
Get ’em tomorrow.
The slo-mo of Posey taking that shot off the mask was pretty frightening.
You could see the orange paint chips flying off it.
Must be like taking a right cross from George Foreman.
Wouldn’t shock me if he’s out awhile…
Yes it was.
And that’s why you hang on to Bart..
Ok time to chip away at tight pants Robin Hood!
Are not Friar Tuck let’s drink a barrel of wine instead..
another rough night for Vosler. with Crawford ready to come off IL tomorrow he was probably toast anyway, but yeow.
They could just release Tauchman instead.But we’re never going to get that lucky
Huh. Long actually got
through those innings.
Still hanging around.
Not impossible…
Does Wade even have a pad on that leg?
OK, let’s get another stupid rally.
Slater by himself has more HRs than Marte does. Combined with GD that has been very productive platoon. Add in salary plus fact Marte is rental that wouldn’t be around next year I’m totally against this guy. Rather see Ramos and Davis, for Dickerson and Tauchman.
Now your talking Willied!
Huge upgrade with Davis&Ramos.
Slugs 🐌 like Dickerson &Tauchman should be jettisoned sooner then later..
Brebbia should not be around much longer.
The dude just doesnt get it done.
Vosler not reminding of Brooks Robinson over there at 3rd. That defense sucked, and cost a run…
vosler might have had some trade value before tonight.
Right. From a bag of balls to a slightly cracked fungo bat.
How can we miss Brebbia if he won’t fucking go away?
Start warming up Tauchman.
OK, the Doghairs are gonna get their one. I hope.
Seriously, Brebbia? I think he has a MLB contract, but so what?
Get him the hell outta town…
I can’t stand Brebbia he’s like a bad rash that won’t go away! Jon that throw was fine by Vosler that was on Casali messing it up.
Brebbia go to sac and bake in the sun you moron..
Brebbia is the old-fashioned lousy middle-reliever that batters used to fatten up their batting averages on.
Cueto tomorrow.
Hmmm. Pen better get ready to come in as early as the 4th. I hope no sooner than that…
I would absolutely bring the Sock man in to pitch the ninth…
Why wait?
I would rather see Alyssa Nakken pitch personally..
Enjoy this night, Brebbia. This is your last foray onto a major league diamond as a player.
The person who controls the score box in the top left corner of the picture is really quick…
Oh boy an unbelievable Sock base hit moment!
As Jon said Tauchman has had his moments.I have moments to when I need to take a shit!
Where are the sea gulls?
I bet the covid famine chased them away. No junk food left overs; barren ground. The drought has probably altered their patterns, too. But they may rediscover the park before the season’s over.
There not fully vaccinated for flight takeoffs are landings?
Look for the Sock Man in the starting line up tomorrow…
His farewell tour?
mm those who have been to the O recently, say this season…pct of real vs. casual fans? 70-30 ish? too low on real fans? How many giants draw today for day game–25 30 thou? Yard just doesn’t seem as into it, despite stellar record.
