A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

This Is No John Bowker

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 12, 2023

I’m a Casey believer. Top 50 pick. Won a gold glove in the minors. Crushes the ball 443. This is no Bowker Gang member. Sure, the league will adjust but I think he’s gonna be fine. We got ourselves a homegrown bat, gents. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

    Off to great start so hope he continues to get regular ABs somewhere once Crawford comes back and not just as platoon SS.

    Part of baseball’s 3 outcome problem is inability or unwillingness of pitchers to throw strikes. Happened to Hjelle who was all over the place and then got hammered once he came into zone, same as Beck. Lot of hitters K at alarming rates to begin with.
    This guy Waites that came in there last night walking guys with 6-0 lead in 9th is just a wtf.

    Schimitt is the shot in the arm this team needs. Hope he can stay in the zone.

  3. Winder said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:57 am

    With all our pitching woes Cobb has been nothing but amazing.

  4. alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:49 am

    Kapler would be a complete fool if Schmitt isn’t in this LU everyday.He doesn’t even act like a rook, he’s calm, plays with controlled emotions in the field and at AB’s, ( picking the brain of Craw is cool too, kid just wants to absorb as much knowledge as possible)gives that clubhouse more juice to build off as a franchise piece for the future!

    PS..Speaking of future does David Villar still have one? He’s obviously odd man out losing his job to Davis and now Scmitt, he really needs to go bak down to Sac and work on hitting breaking balls cause the league has figured him out..

    If Schmitt has good ABs against Gallen, I’m sold.

    If the season ended right now, each of the big 5 free agent signings would have the worst stats of their careers . . . by a lot. If they’d collectively been merely below average through the first quarter of the season, the Giants would be over 500. That’s heads coming up 5 times in row when you’re calling tails. It can’t stay this way for the entire season . . . I hope.

      Well, the biggest fail by far has been the relievers. And the shitty back end of the rotation. Yeah, they get shut out once in a while, but the pan has given up a ton of leads. It may be settling down a bit but I’m still iffy about Stripchat, Manaea, Shitter, and now Tom Waites.

      • James said, on May 12, 2023 at 3:37 pm

        Sure, that’s legit. I was marveling at the chances of all 5 of these FAs being far worse than a mix of ho hum or disappointing. If the pitchers each had an ERA of 5 and Conforto/Haniger 690 OPSs, SF would very likely have at least a couple more wins.

  7. xoot said, on May 12, 2023 at 12:52 pm

    Villar soon should see Sac again. Tweet from the River Cats today bragged that Amy G is now working the mic for them. I’ll always remember the day she knelt down beside me in the RF bleachers to interview some people who’d dressed their baby in a SF onesie. Great hips.

    Gallen’s whip is minuscule. Wow.

    • unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 1:42 pm

      Wasn’t sure where you were going with that Amy G. story.

  8. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 1:49 pm

    I’m seeing Ryan Nelson vs Brebbia?

    Pen game? Oh joy.

  9. alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2023 at 5:24 pm

    Now I’m seeing Alex Wood starting..That’s good fuck openers/Pen game BS when they face 3 hitters and their out of there.

  10. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 5:40 pm

    Checked 3 sites and I’m still seeing Brebbia. pfffffffffffffffffffffffft. I think we’ve won a few pen games tho.

  11. Flavor said, on May 12, 2023 at 6:33 pm

    Also don’t sleep on this: a year ago while driving into work The Thrill was on KNBR and he said we need to look out for this Schmitt kid. Will The Thrill has spoken……..

    • xoot said, on May 12, 2023 at 6:46 pm

      Todays the anniversary of the college game where Buster played every position, finishing as closer. Casey could’ve done that too, given a chance. His era as a college pitcher was something like .28, while he excelled in the field and raked at the plate. He is our salvation.

  12. willedav said, on May 12, 2023 at 6:44 pm

    Wade singles in first AB. Coming in he is 3rd NL for OB at .431 yet has only scored 15 runs.
    Last night Giants added on 4 extra runs not off HR.

    • willedav said, on May 12, 2023 at 6:46 pm

      Estrada tied for top 10 runs scored with 25. And Joc likes roof open!

      • willedav said, on May 12, 2023 at 6:47 pm

        File hairstyle under kids do not try this at home.

  13. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:02 pm

    I’m convinced if the Heat wins, we go to 7 games.

  14. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:05 pm

    Conforto!!!! Nice AB there. Damn.

  15. xoot said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    Longo looked horrible in his first AB. Conforto looked ok in his.

    • unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:10 pm

      “He looks great in any uniform” striking out.

  16. alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    What a tremendous AB by Conforto what 15 pitches? then goes yard!!

  17. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:17 pm

    Knicks trip over their dicks . . .

  18. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:17 pm

    Stripchat??? Fuck this. There goes the lead.

  19. alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:23 pm

    Fucking Stripless! Why does Kapler do this shit pulling Brebbia for this PÓS!!

  20. xoot said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:24 pm

    Can we can asswipe stripling now? My god he’s “finesse” mediocrity incarnate.

  21. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:31 pm

    Warriors game is over. They are gonna call 40 fouls on us.

  22. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:36 pm

    Then again, going 1-27 in the 1st won’t win you any games.

  23. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:38 pm

    And another Stripling inning?

  24. alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:44 pm

    Warriors are harder to watch then Stripless right now.
    I take that back Fuck this bum Strippy you sick donkey dick!!!!

  25. willedav said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    Cut lead got back into it.
    Longo gets one on other side of foul pole yikes.

    • willedav said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:55 pm

      Not lot of ball movement, everything Steph centric. Klay 1-10 oy.

  26. PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on May 12, 2023 at 7:54 pm

    Here I am, trying to guess the scores of games in progress just from the comments here. Giants, ok, comments match the score. W’s though, it’s a 5-point game? Hardly time yet for gnashing of teeth?…….

    • willedav said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:00 pm

      from trailing 27-10 now down only 4 37-33 as Steph got a rest.

      • PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:09 pm

        Got it.

  27. alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:02 pm

    Stripling is the new Trevor Gott of agony have to watch.

  28. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:24 pm

    Should be down 25 but we’re still sucking hard.

  29. unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:38 pm

    Yep. Giants are just gonna scuffle along like this.

  30. Macdog said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:41 pm

    Another Sabol passed ball.

    • xoot said, on May 12, 2023 at 8:49 pm

      Schmitt makes Bart look dull right now but he’s actually turned into a good everyday catcher

  31. Macdog said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:00 pm

    Paul, here’s an update: Neither one is going well.

    • PaulinAsia Banh Bao said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:05 pm

      Haha, yeah thanks, John…

  32. Macdog said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:17 pm

    Brenly: “Schmitt’s a guy who loves to pull the ball.” What, based on 3+ games?

    • xoot said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:32 pm

      Was that after the oppo field double?

      • Macdog said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:33 pm

        Yes.

  33. Macdog said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:33 pm

    Goddamn, I can’t believe the Lakers are going to have a chance to get to the finals. Hoping the Nuggets have what it takes to beat LA.

  34. Macdog said, on May 12, 2023 at 9:39 pm

    I know Sabol was pinch-hit for in the 8th, but how did Bart end up in Joc’s spot in the lineup?
