This Is Not A Death Blow
I’ve let the dust settle on this Belt news and I’m not as bummed as when I originally heard about the thumb break. For one thing, I’ve never liked Belt. Constantly injured, obsessed with his version of the strike zone, he’s always been one of my least favorite. I couldn’t understand how a man that strapping could be so timid in the box. But this year, for whatever reason, he’s removed the shackles and swung away—with exciting results.
Ironically, trying to bunt led to his demise. One more reason to not sweat this: he’s the streakiest hitter on the team. We were likely in for a dry spell at the worst possible time. His loss weakens us to be sure, especially defensively. But I’m not throwing myself off the Golden Gate at this news. Speaking of that way to take yourself out, does that make any sense at all? I’m sure many of you have looked down to those icy waters below–a more grim, terrifying death I couldn’t imagine.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
Wilbuuuuurrrrr!!!
Wilmet gets the lead back!
Thanks for the free run.
Now, can somebody bust this open with an xtra base hit…
Buster bases-loaded BB!
Mr.Ed wasn’t horsing around for that rbi knock,
And Posey says thanks for the gift walk for an RBI..
Dinking and dunking!
Craw RBI dinker!
They haven’t hit a ball hard all inning but got 3 runs out of it..
WP!
Buster was ready for that? WTF Kuiper is was a wild pitch any flapper could of scored on..
That was as ugly an inning a team could play. Error,HBP,dinks and dunks,baseloaded walk,wild pitch for another run yikes 😳
Giants should have had 6 runs out of that gift inning, instead, just 4. 3 straight hits with men on 2nd and 3rd and they only scored 3 off the hits. Crazy…
You blame Wotus at all?
Posey and Dick on the bases….
All those doinks were within the realm of catchable. I really can’t blame Wotus for the fact that it was also the tortoise and the slug on the basepaths.
It behooves the Giants or Dodgers to avoid that one-game playoff vs. the red-hot Cards.
Well one of us is relegated to that.
Is Magoo back?
I don’t think so…
RISP-0 again
Let it be the Dogpile…
17 straight wins is insane that no one wants to face..
Another WP!
2 walked in and 2 wp’ed in. No wonder they have lost 110
OK, this is fuckin war now!
Fuck. Wow. That hit him square.
Christ, another scary HBP.
Fuck this pitcher! Get him out of there , enough injuries and this punk is all over the place!
Hop on the bus de Geus.
Mac-tastic!
Rogers is not fooling anyone these days
OK, Rogers is pissing me off. He’s been drama city the past few appearances.
Traffic. Always traffic.
Finish this shit…
Get someone up, Kotter!
Fuck. Utter shit from Rogers.
Wow. This ump is on glue.
Take him out !
Rogers is playing himself off the playoff roster
Yay, ballpark!
Haha.
And to think I wanted his brother Taylor, just way to much stress with just Tyler..
Rodgers is so hittable it’s ridiculous..
Holy crap, Rogers is getting scarier and scarier.
Fuck me silly. Get him the fuck out
Lucky that one didn’t go out…
Great jump, great route by Slater…
They really do have other arms in the bullpen but Kotter is to pigheaded to use them.
Rogers needs to get demoted to 7th inning or earlier. Stat.
Can’t put him in with a short lead or tied, just can’t do it. Way too much traffic, constantly…
He’s had a lot of work last 2 years…
As Mike Singletary would say:Can’t do it, Just can’t do it, I would rather play short one then play with someone not on board…I Want WINNERS!!!
Does Rogers get a hold – the dumbest stat ever?
Better be Doval in the 9th are I’m going to destroy Chuck’s phone!
2-1 LA
SD batting in 9th…
Who we getting for the 9th? Doval??
Cronenworth with the hr. 2-1 dogs
Hit something Kris.
The showers…
Hosmer walks with 2 outs they still have a pulse..
Come on Pham!!!
SD has tying run at 2nd.
2 out…
Someone scream at Krukow that Abner Doubleday had literally nothing to do with the invention of baseball.
No one gives a shit.
I do. So you’re wrong about it being no one.
Ok. You and 12 other folks.
Yeah, the people that care about historical accuracy.
Which admittedly may be about 12 people.
I’ve screamed enough at for pitch count Zumie he’s clueless..
Kris Krumble…
Krispy Krap
Pham k’s bums win..
Fuck
Just cannot expect LA to lose any game this week…
Dodger game started 10 minutes after this one.
20
Doval in 9th?
Clippard on the mound reminds me of a dog looking for a place to take a crap…
🐕💩
Doval time let’s nail this win down kid!!
The San Diego Pussies doing what they do best, laying down vs. the Dogpile. One win, is that asking too much? Apparently so. What a pathetic bunch of losers.
Doval for his first try at a save
Wish he didn’t wear Zito’s number…
Lol
Pads beat Mad Max tomorrow!
This game does seem to have gone at a snail’s pace.
Partly the home umpiring, and pitchers taking forever to pitch.
Tons of 3 ball counts. Does anybody swing before taking ball 3 anymore?
Plus errors, hit batters, wild pitches, etc…
Huh. 0/3 in save oppos? Don’t remember him getting a shot.
This ump is hysterical
Estrada’s a cool cat.
The infielder version of Gregor Blanco…
Don’t think I’ve seen a clean 9th since July.
Doesn’t matter who they bring in it’s always torture..
Why is Doval só damm slider happy when he has 102 plus gas??
If Dovall had a changeup, these guys would screw themselves into the ground…
Well this is better thanRogers and his spank me shit
Damn straight.
Rogers as closer is an absolute no go.
I’ll take Doval or Castro, or Leone. McGoo can stay on the IL…
Yes!!!
That’s why
Weird game. Not sure the Giants won so much as the D-Backs lost, but we’ll take it.
And way to go Chi and Kevin, bringing home a W!
Sliders work. MLB hitters will time a fastball. even 103 if he doesn’t mix it up! Our K-rod!
Winner winner chicken dinner!
