You can talk all you want about Covid and this and that but if Craw gonna hit .220, Bart .188, Ruff .178 etc then this is what we get. And Z let’s Posey and Bryant go without replacing them (unless you count his Gonzalez/Padlo/Etc moves and again, this is what you get. The only good news is that with mlb screwing with the ball to the point of destroying most of the offenses it’s not like we have zero hope with this batch of loser hitters.
But they can’t hit like this. Not against a team like The Dodgers.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
great unis, great players all around. George J had a great fro too.
sorry bout the thread today WillieD. Very busy. Will hit one for the Derb tomorrow. Gonna be a huge day!
Oh that’s OK, look forward to it. How about Kentucky Oaks, Luis Saez/D. Wayne Lukas and Secret Oath?
Giants of 2021 were an offensive juggernaut. Led league in HRs, slugging and OPS, 2nd in walks yada yada. That was big part of what made them so fun to watch.
this year, 6th in HRs, 10th slugging 11th OPS 8th in walks 14th in doubles 12th in triples. bad luck/babip?
What concerns me with excuses from beat writers is that they’ve decided to refrain from any criticism of players, or mgmt., Zaidi Harris Kapler.
FireSabeanNow! (sorry, I think I’m having an acid flashback)….
yeah that guy was hilarious.
The Cards’ Gold Glove outfielder missed the ball because catching pop-ups at twilight in the Giants’ ballpark can be very difficult.
A Giants fan decided to go all Bartman.
Bader just made up for his gaffe with a 2 run HR and with are offense a ballgame moment..
Wow, you don’t see this, like, ever:
“Bellino issued an apology Friday for his actions during a viral incident with Madison Bumgarner that ended with the first base umpire ejecting the Diamondbacks’ starting pitcher.
“I would like to address my actions on May 4 involving Madison Bumgarner,” Bellino said in a statement (H/T ESPN.com). “When I began my MLB career almost 15 years ago, I received some good advice. I was told to umpire every game as if my children were sitting in the front row. I fell short of those expectations this week. While I can’t go back and change what happened, I take full accountability. I will learn from this incident, and I sincerely apologize.””
A clutch hit!
Quick question, as I can’t see the game for real: I see that by the 5th or 6th inning, Slater had replaced Wade and Ruf had replaced Yazz. Just curious, why? Basic L-R matchups?
yes
Thanks…
I was watching some fan video footage this week on YouTube from the McCartney tour. He’s almost 80, and his voice isn’t what it used to be; but I was very impressed with the set-list. He had a nice mix of Beatles and solo stuff, but what especially impressed me was he performed several songs from his most recent albums, from the last few years. He was willing to stretch the audience and that’s cool.
Related to nothing, I seem to remember some Flappers were fellow Ozark fans. Anyone hate that ending as much as I did? F-ing “show runners”….
I haven’t seen any of that show yet, but I’ve been watching the final season of Better Call Saul, and not understanding everything, but that’s OK. All the details aren’t essential to still find the show interesting.
You’re watching the final season without having seen the previous seasons… or Breaking Bad? As for Ozark, it was great, one of my favorites, but they just completely crashed the final episode, a la Dexter or Game of Thrones…
Hjelle’s 94 mph FB had good movement, caught the corners more than once, as did his breaking balls. He looks like he could pitch forever with his easy 6’11” motion.
Zumie..The wife and I went to see McCartney at Dodger stadium in 2019. He played a great mix then too. Place was packed. How many guys at 78 can sell out a stadium playing solo. So much fun. I was impressed with how many different instruments he played. Close up video of him playing piano, guitar bass, ukulele…60k people singing along to hey Jude.
Great to see a bounce back good game from Cobb. Go Giants!
Ruf top 15% in MLB in hard hit ball %. Crazy bad luck so far. I’m calling that he hits a homer in the 8th!
Watching Ozark right now. No more spoilers!!!!!!
Damn. 100mph on the corner. tip your hat
If I was playing fantasy I’d pick this guy Helsey up in a snap. Only 1 game, but wow
“Watching Ozark right now. No more spoilers!!!!!!” Sorry Charlie! (what I said about the last episode is just my opinion, obviously)….
I remember Danny Ozark was briefly Giants manager.
FUCKING SHIT!!!
Augh
2 runs tonight, that’s progress.
At least we didn’t get blown out.
5 losses in a row and Clint is getting real impatient not seeing his mug after a win!!
Going to bring out his 44 magnum and blow someone’s head completely off if he doesn’t get a win soon!!
Ruf did get some luck from BABIP gods with 2 run single. Joc 0-14. BA has dropped from .340 to .277. LHP Matz going today for Cards vs. Webb. So far Golds and Arenado held in check. Daniel gotta be feelin good about their pitching.
