A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Clinging To The Lead

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 25, 2021

Though it’s been murmured a bit here at the Flap lately, it’s become obvious that if we want to win the division we just need to win-out. Maybe we get lucky and lose one or two but LA isn’t slowing down.

It’s a joke that two 100+ win teams have to fight tooth and nail to avoid the dreaded play-in game. That should be reserved for the mediocre teams who are looking up wistfully at the power houses of the league.

MLB really needs to change the post season format. Either re-seed after the wild card games OR just do what the NBA does and have 2 conferences.

LA is 14 games up on the wild card teams below. But because maybe they *only* win 104 and SF wins 105 they have to burn a stud pitcher in a play-in game and pray nothing crazy happens?

It’s stupid.

    Great night of baseball. It would be so nice to end the Dodgers’ consecutive division title streak.

    Great win, capitalized on the Doghair unexpected loss in Phoenix.
    A sweep in Denver would sure be nice, but even if not, Giants are heading home no worse that one game up…

    Watson got the win.

    It would be nice if a starter could go 5, or God forbid, a full 6 frames and give up no more than 3 runs…

    Leone needs a day off; he’s pitched in 4 of 5 roadie games so far…

    MadBum homecoming Tuesday?

    • djloo27 said, on September 25, 2021 at 10:08 pm

      That would be a must attend for me if I was out there.
      Bum deserves a 3 minute standing O when he takes the mound.
      Wonder if it’ll sell out…

    I already got Yankee fans asking me if I’d go to the stadium if there’s a Yankee-Giant WS.
    The answer is yes…

      That would be my dream WS ….
