    ” we just have to continue to talk about how to execute that play.” Kap from Slush column on fail first/third play with Pederson and Bart.
    Um, how about stuffing it completely and taking some ownership yourself for poor decision. wtf would you expect from Bart, who is so rarely on 3b to begin with? Are you telling me they practiced it with Bart in ST?
    Kapler tried this earlier with GD on 3b, I think vs. Mets, with same result, called out by Loo at the time.
    fool me twice/shame on me, no?

  2. alleykat69 said, on May 15, 2022 at 10:37 am

    Yeah that was the most asinine decision by Kapler.You have a Bart at 3rd a freaking catcher ( avg speed at best) you send Joc when Molina is already standing up knowing the play(a modified pitchout, but just stands up, U think your going to fool a Catcher who’s been in the league since we landed on the moon? Taking the bat out of Yaz there who’s been hot lately was just dumb way to end the inning!!

    Another thing that ticked me off and I commented on it in yesterdays post.., Down 2-0 top of the 7th first and second with John Boy Walton ( hustle double earlier in inning and is fast) one out base hit by Wade to center and he’s held up?? No replay on his jump, Loo mentioned Lopez said he froze first to make sure it went thru, on tv it looked like a clean hit, but whatever it’s his 1st game up, so I guess u give him the benefit of the doubt obviously the 3rd base coach did,and if he cuts it to 2-1 still only one out it changes the whole inning imo..So it just loads them up, and of course on cue Belt hits a Taylor Made DP ball inning over, no score , more dumb baseball…

    A Cardinals page says Molina, knowing the situation, read the sign from Kapler to the 3rd base coach.

    I have a feeling Molina could make a great manager at some point, if he decided he wanted to go that way.

    • willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 3:57 pm

      Besides it being dumb to even try it vs. Molina, what bugs me even more is that Kapler won’t take any responsibility for what happened himself. He makes couple statements about Bart’s lack of experience yada yada. Bs. it was stupid idea that didn’t work–what is his problem that he can’t just admit it?

      • Bozo said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:54 pm

        Yeah, just say it was a blown call on his part, which it was.

    Giants get OF Stuart Fairchild from the (again?) Mariners for IF Alex Blandino and cash. Fairchild will report to Triple-A Sacto. Where he will be promptly traded back to the Mariners for a bag of balls and a fungo bat.

  5. xoot said, on May 15, 2022 at 3:33 pm

    More than they got for Ford, who promptly produced for the trading partner. But Farhan concatenates 24/7. Something’ll fire.

  6. willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:09 pm

    Pads beat Braves and lead NL West at 22-13.
    Phils leading Dogs in 8th, 4-2. Giants win/dogs lose, SF into 2nd/LA takes 3rd.

  7. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:17 pm

    I’m guessing Loo is occupied elsewhere tonight.

    • willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:34 pm

      Rangers last Original Six team left standing.

  8. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:19 pm

    Fuck, 2 batters in and down 2-0.

  9. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:26 pm

    Welp, this one’s over. Rodon getting rocked.

  10. alleykat69 said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:30 pm

    Jesus more hangover from yesterday’s lost?
    4-zip as Rodon is throwing BP!!
    Hate ESPN games!

  11. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:40 pm

    Giants bat like they’ve never seen a curve from Wainwright.

    • willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:47 pm

      “Fastball” topping out at 91.

  12. willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:46 pm

    Dang. Dogs win 5-4. 2 run rally in 9th off Cory Knebel, all with 2 outs bases empty.
    Triple from Bellinger, walk to Chris Taylor and 2 run double by Lux.

  13. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:56 pm

    What a horrible strike 3 call.

  14. willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 4:59 pm

    20+ pitches last inning, nothing faster than 89. Giants still don’t have a hit.

  15. alleykat69 said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:02 pm

    Sure was easily a foot outside!
    Freaking ump gave the Wainwright/Molina the 40 year call!
    1st and 2nd one out sure would of been nice but noooo!

  16. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:10 pm

    Meanwhile, another shit inning from Rodon.

  17. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:10 pm

  18. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:33 pm

    Rodone.

  19. willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:33 pm

    ooh Rangers raile 2-1 burned by second power play goal that will be debated–knocked in by high stick ruled legal after review

    • willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:34 pm

      And Rangers tie it up minute later 2-2, off skate of Pens player in front of goal.

  20. alleykat69 said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:39 pm

    Guess we don’t have to worry about the Giants running up the score..

  21. xoot said, on May 15, 2022 at 5:49 pm

    Giants must have someone better for that role than Littell — but he’s out of options this year, isn’t he? The AI seems pretty fucking simple-minded these days. Long? Hjelle? Oh, no. They have options.

  22. Flavor said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:00 pm

    hilarious. Good thing this was nationally televised.

  23. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:00 pm

    Put the hoops on, Doncic has as many points as the Suns at half.

    • Flavor said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:18 pm

      love it. Fuck Booker and the Suns. They’re shit talkin bitches just like Memphis.

    • willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:30 pm

      Intense dislike for #77. First team NBA all whiner team. If refs gave him every call he wanted he’d shoot 100 FTs a game.

  24. alleykat69 said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:01 pm

    On a bright note I’ve learned always bet the over on a National Televised Game.,

  25. willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    Wow Rangers tie it up 3-3 late 3rd.

    • Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:38 pm

      Looks like it’s gonna be next goal wins.

  26. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 6:50 pm

    Down 43 in the 4th. This might be the most humiliating Game 7 loss in NBA history.

  27. willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    Something for Loo to smile about.

    • willedav said, on May 15, 2022 at 7:10 pm

      On good end of handshake line.

  28. Macdog said, on May 15, 2022 at 7:14 pm

    Giants pitcher hits a homer.

    • Bozo said, on May 15, 2022 at 7:24 pm

      Hah, true that Mac and on the plus side, none of our guys struck out against Pujols.

  29. unca_chuck said, on May 15, 2022 at 9:03 pm

    Wow. What a game. The good news is Dallas won’t shoot that well for another year. Funny thing about these shit-talking young teams is they all got crushed. THe cheap-shot artists and the shit-talkers gone.

    Wonder if the Dubs put Wiggins on Doncic. Dray may get into early foul trouble otherwise. He will get his. Stop the rest and they will be fine.

    Looks like Warriors/Celtics. Hope Porter is back.

  30. unca_chuck said, on May 15, 2022 at 9:19 pm

    How bad is it going for the Reds? They no-hit the Pirates. And lost 1-0. 3 walks and a FC.
