Breathing Room
Scott Kazmir in a must win pressure packed September game? LOL, sure why not. When this dude was a damn rookie Barry Bonds was busy taking down the batting crown in 2004 with a .362 batting average. I think The Kaz also took down a silver medal this year in the Olympics. Maybe it was bronze, whatever, this dude is piling up wins for us on top of Olympic medals and I don’t know what the hell is going on anymore!
Two up with 10 to go! Let’s fucking go!!!!!
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Tommy ties it up!
Sick of that stupid phrase as well.. Well I bet he’s talking to himself after that out.And he just missed that bet he wants to see that one again!!
Alright Mr.Ed and LaStella tie it up with a 2 out rally!!
Or, “He was on top of that one,” as he fouls it off. Then why didn’t he put it in play?
Give me Mr. Ed any day over KB…
Rox need 2 to tie…
Giants Pen apparently has got the late season tired arms…
LA won
all these wallks zzzz.
Yeah thanks Cron for your game ending DP ball..
Yay, someone finally got this .200 hitter out.
9 games left for LA.
Gotta figure they’ll win at least 7 of them.
They’re headed next for Dbacks, that should be a slaughter…
At least east coast can get some sleep, unless this goes 16 by which time Belt will probably be on mound.
Make it 18 innings that’s the one when Belt does his damage..
Longo needs a Dongo!
Every fricking game is like this.
I think everybody’s Pen is pooped out at this point, and it’s a matter of whose Pen stiffens up a bit at the end of each game. Cardinals seem to be playing the best of anybody, 12 straight wins after today…
Will Fleming stop analyzing on what might happen till it actually does..
Glad you said it…
Tommy Castro slams the door. With authority. Damn.
Tommy C’s not as well known as he deserves to be.
That’s Kervin with a K.
Ks the side. Come on Giants, get it done.
Which one is Mr. Ed?
Wilmer!
OK, I’m not even going to ask why. :-p
It evolved.
Kat is responsible…
Kervin, another talented young arm.
In the Castro District they love Kervin..
Add another rear end closer..
Well, unfortunately again the Pads heavy hitters are due up in the 9th with the game on the line…
Dang, Tatis is scary at the plate.
When that kid gets older, gets his head on straight and his shoulder fixed, he’s gonna be even scarier…
KB Toys should have a chance to do something important this inning.
My confidence is low…
Grinding another one way overused K& now Flemm say it all the freaking time..
Another grind of a game, this batter is really grinding,just another grind by the pitcher..
Is Casali not available? Can’t he run for Posey at 2nd? Posey is as slow as molasses…
he started the game
Ok thanks, I missed the first part of the game…
Really getting disappointed with Bryant.
Maybe my expectation were too high.
This Detwiler guy is having big trouble finding the strike zone, yet pffffttttt with 3 straight Giants, can’t make any solid contact.
This game is hanging by a thread now…
Bryant flops again and again…
What shit ABs by Belt and Bryant.
Yep, they had count leverage and went belly up…
Weak ass shit.
Can the Giants ask to start extras with a guy on first instead of second? That RISP seems to fuck them up.
Well they sure screwed that inning up bigtime!!
1st and 2nd no outs pathetic
I do not understand why they do not try to move the runners over in that case. Regardless of who is hitting. Posey on second is highly unlikely to score on a single, Wotus won’t send him anyway. So, move the runners and at least get him to 3rd with one down, then anything can happen…
This is gonna end quickly…
Always seem like the Giants have a slug running at 2nd and the opponent a speed burner..
The Pads there at least made an attempt at a bunt to move the runners over.
Now they’ve done it. Granted Profar is a faster runner than Posey, but a good bunt gets Posey over…
Well, there it is.
Pads make it look EZ.
Giants can’t pee a drop with the auto runner.
Kappler has to go back to the drawing board in those situations and figure some shit out…
Not with middle of the order up, no. Seriously, no outs and you want Belt to bunt? It’s not happening and I don’t fault Kap one iota.
Belt has bunted before.
Yeah, I want him to bunt, even with Posey on 2nd. And, I hella like Belt.
Swinging for the fences when just moving the runner is all that is needed yields the result seen…
He’s your best hitter! He could give you a 3 run lead and you want to give up an out? It’s not 1908 man.
Willie.
Seriously, are you counting on him hitting an HR there?
Sure, he MIGHT hit one, but chances are overwhelming he won’t in that particular AB.
They MUST get that ghost runner home, or else you’re in deep shit heading into the bottom of the 10th, which was just proved by the Pads winning by doing what I suggested the Giants do. Move the damn runner…
Fuck this one cuts deep!
Especially after the Bums were beat till they weren’t..
A very bad day.
I know Bryant had a big hit in the first inning yesterday, but absolutely nothing in like 9 ABs since.
Nothing!
Why was the Padres reliever, after throwing 5 balls, allowed to throw some extra warm-up pitches on the mound visit? That was BS.
Agree Mac pull his ass are not but don’t allow some phantom pitches!
Now they go to that hellhole in CO, where they rarely play well. Nothing is ever fucking easy with the San Francisco Giants. EVER.
Well they swept them there last time LJ so they have that mojo going..
They swept 3 straight last time and hammered their pitching.
Anybody have stats on Giants in extras? Arent’t they about .500?
Is it my imagination that we see alot of this frustrating BS in the 10th with the Giants, where they can’t even move the ghost runner one base to 3rd? Not even ONE base ! No bunt, no hit, no long fly, no grounder to the right side, nothing. Total failure…
10-7, probably before today, so now 10-8.
Thanks. So, yeah, essentially .500.
I guess we can’t say too much about that performance. This ghost runner deal is now pretty much a crapshoot, but it is so frustrating that SF has so much trouble with moving the ghost runner. The Pads just scored theirs like it was nothing at all…
That retarded extra inning rule needs to go away right now. One of the dumbest ideas in the history of the game.
Yeah, Bryant hasn’t impressed me. Lots of nothing ABs. Too many wayward throws at 3rd base. Let someone else pay 8/$300 mill.
I really thought he was better than this. I’m allowing for adjustment to a new team.
He should be beyond that now…
Yeah thank you Manfred Mann for that stupid bs and 7 inning doubleheader’s it’s not real baseball anymore clown 🤡..
Guy they really needed today was Webb. Instead he walked guys and couldn’t get bottom of order out. With pen guys taxed lately solid 7 would have been great but he put team in hole and blew up his own pitch count instead. Fail
He’s the last guy I’d dump on after his great work the last 2 months…
You don’t need Belt three run homer there WD. Just need a run. At a Tame Impala show waiting for them to hit the stage. Money on Loo and Flav having no idea what I am talking about.
No clue here, GH…
Thank you…
No fucking clue….
I win…Aussie Alt-groove very funky
They just played here a couple weeks ago. And no I didn’t go.
That game was fucking brutal. Wash that shit off and get a W in Sherpaville, tomorrow.
The positive is that during the course of this series we gave up no ground to the bums and there are three less to play.
Shot is crazy….I suspect it will go to the wire.
Not to be brash, but I am glad as fuck the Giants signed Bryant. He definitely makes the team better. Period.
Should they resign him to a huge contract? That is another story. I say sign him for a reasonable number, but not crazy years/$$.
And he isn’t the first big bopper/swinging dick for the Giants who has had a rough spell.
But bottom line, this team is definitely better with him in the line-up than without.
