A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

One More To Go

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on October 12, 2021

Now THAT was a throwback game. Timely defense, excellent pitching and one had-to-have-it hit—and some luck, too. When Turner hit that ball that was foul by an inch I thought “maybe the ball is bouncing our way tonight.” And sure enough, for the rest of the night it did. When you look back on a game it’s amazing how the signs of a win or a loss are sprinkled throughout the game in subtle moments. Think about it….

Still, this is no time to celebrate, gents. Nothing’s happened yet.

But I can see the sun rising and it might be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Imagine if we pull this off…..

    Damn lucky that did not go out…

  2. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    Hold em at 2 and we’ll be ok…

  3. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    We did not want to go super early in the relievers but DeSclafani batting first

  4. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:50 pm

    Yeah. Get out of this down 2–0 and I’ll be thrilled. I think we can get to Buehler.

    This was not another Vogey, not even close.

  6. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:51 pm

    Agree Loo,Get out of this inning and there ok down 2

  7. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:53 pm

    OK. New start. Let’s get some back.

  8. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:54 pm

    Nice job Alvarez!

  9. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:55 pm

    Good job to stop the bleeding at one run. Lots of ball left.

    We’ve been down this road before….Let’s Roll!

  10. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:58 pm

    Still do not get having Limp Dick on the roster. Shoulda been Estrada, IMO.

  11. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 6:59 pm

    Please can anyone explain why Dickerson made this playoff roster?

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:04 pm

      Fuck if I know. I wanted Estrada. And Cueto.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:00 pm

    We are not seeing Buehler tonight. Watch the fastball, swing at the changeup in the dirt

  13. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    That Crazy Calzony’s lookin pretty good to me…

  14. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    Ruff starting instead of Dick or Duggar bit of a head scratcher.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:05 pm

      Never thought I’d say I want Duggar in, but yeah, I do. Ruf hasn’t hit anything. Dick hasn’t made contact with anything. Not even a foul ball.

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:07 pm

      As is limping LaStella over Barrels.
      The L-R thing is very overrated at times…

  15. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    This Will Smith is a major pain in the balls…

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:07 pm

    Oh boy. That pitch was exactly the same as ball 1.

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    Fuck. They should have let Alvarez bat. That’s how good Dick is.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:08 pm

      At least he got Castro Street out fast.

    • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:11 pm

      There is no way Limpy Dicky is back next year.So why does Kotter feel he needs to give him a swan song exit?

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:13 pm

        I wanted Estrada over Dick, who hasn’t done dick since the AS break…

  18. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    Damm Castro looks way to nervous!
    And now he’s gone, right move need outs not free passes!

  23. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:14 pm

    WTF kind of pitching is this?…

  24. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    This looks like game #1 in Seattle…

  25. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:16 pm

    I’m serious.I woulda batted Alvarez in the top of the 3rd.

  26. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:18 pm

  27. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    Keep the ball down…

  28. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    I hate this count

  29. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:20 pm

    Don’t lay one in…

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:21 pm

      He did, and lucked out…

      • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:22 pm

        Sure did…

  30. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:21 pm

  32. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:21 pm

    Giants pitching is hanging on like a cat in one of those posters…

  33. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    So lucky again to get out of it. Why have Jarlin throw change after change up in the count early. Throw one stinking high fastball and see if he will chase

  34. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    Turning point?

  35. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    Fucking wow. I thought it was out. Nice play by Wade!

    Let’s give Buehler his day off right now!

  36. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:22 pm

    Torture. But that is usually how we win.

  37. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:22 pm

  38. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:23 pm

    Wow, what a catch by Wade, keeps the Giants in it for now.

  39. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:24 pm

    Give up 3 walks and they don’t get runs off that?
    Giants need to take advantage of that…

  40. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:24 pm

    They had there chances to bury us and they blew it!
    I’m starting to have a good torturous feeling about this game!

  41. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:25 pm

    Fuck. Hard to win when you can’t get on base. One run was enough yesterday.

  42. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:27 pm

    These umps remind me of the refs in the 2002 NBA Western Conference finals

    hot smash to SS…Tony Kubek is 86 today. Suffered serious injury in 1960 WS when one came up and caught him in throat. fine broadcaster too.

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:32 pm

      His DP partner, Bobby Richardson is also still alive…

      • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:38 pm

        Don’t think McCovey ever wanted to hear his name when he was still alive..
        Why couldn’t Richardson been as tall as Minnie Monoso?

      • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:57 pm

        We both would’ve made that play, Kat…

  44. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:33 pm

    Kubek and Gowdy were Saturday morning baseball companions growing up.

    Got to keep fucking up.

  47. willedav's avatar willedav said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    dang it one sure out in lineup and Garcia flubs it.

  48. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:35 pm

    Pitchers are just phuckin’ up.
    This is going pretty much how I thought it would, got to stop the bleeding here to keep in striking distance…

  49. chipower9's avatar chipower9 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:36 pm

    Well fuck…

  50. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:36 pm

    It had to go 5 games, didn’t it?

  51. mrsprtdude's avatar mrsprtdude said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:37 pm

    Where did our hitters go? I think we need belt and his busted thumb in the lineup. Give the man a shot or something!

    • PaulinAsia Banh Bao's avatar PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:38 pm

      Yeah, was just going to say what’s happened to the bats, but you said it well enough. 3 runs in the last, what, 22 innings, that ain’t gonna cut it.

  52. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:38 pm

    Kapler is going through the Pen looking for anybody that can get someone out…

  53. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    Why couldn’t Mookie Betts just start his Bowling career sooner..

  54. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:39 pm

    Kap extending Rogers and Doval last night might’ve been a sign he doesn’t trust anyone else in the bullpen, and now I see why. Man, these guys fucking blow tonight.

  55. sfsarge's avatar sfsarge said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:40 pm

    I knew when Buehler singled off Garcia’s foot that the game was over. The baseball gods let us know right there that this will not be our night.

    • Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:58 pm

      that’s what I meant in the lead.There always seem to be some subtle signs throughout a game about who’s got the ball bouncing their way—and it usually leads to a win

      • willedav's avatar willedav said, on October 12, 2021 at 8:04 pm

        Baggs said Taylor hit 2 balls combined 715 feet and both were caught only 1 run scored. Wade’s already saved them a few or this could be worse.

  56. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:42 pm

    Never saw Kotter so animated.
    All game…

  57. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:44 pm

    Alvarez was the star of the pitching staff tonight.And like Chuck said rather have One nut Alvarez batting then no nuts and a limp Dick Pinch hitting there..

    • Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:45 pm

      Yeah, that might be the turning point of the game.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:48 pm

      If Gyros make it to NLCS, a big NO on Dick…

  60. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    I guess you could say the Grave Duggar got rid of Buehler…

  61. gianthead's avatar gianthead said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:56 pm

    Buehler going out makes this a must score inning.

  62. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on October 12, 2021 at 7:56 pm
