      A lineup with 5 rookie or near-rookie players.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on July 20, 2023 at 9:51 am

      If you like defense, it’s a pretty good lineup…

  3. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 9:45 am

    Bailey nails Elly!!!

  4. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 9:46 am

    Mr. Ed playing first like Keith Hernandez…

  5. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:15 am

    We are running out of IFers and Schmitt is doing nothing. ONE XBH since June 12.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:20 am

      Thairo absence hurts a lot…

  6. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:18 am

    Bottom of order guys killing Giants.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:20 am

      Exactly.

  7. willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:19 am

    Slider that stay in the zone a no no at this yard.

  8. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:23 am

    If you liek offense, not so much . . .

    Wisely .192
    VIllar .155
    Schmitt .221 (.094 in July)

  9. willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:26 am

    Haven’t the Reds only stolen the 1 bag the entire series?

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:31 am

    Oh good. Now Wilbur’s hurt?

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:32 am

      And idiot 3B coach sends him to certain death…

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:32 am

    There you go. Didn’t see that coming 2 miles away.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:34 am

      Matos did drive one over the LF’s head.

      • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:36 am

        But Wilbur was just doubled over at 1st base, and he’s slow as fuck anyway.

        Ballgame.

  12. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:32 am

    Maybe not a good send there.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:35 am

      Not even a good throw, to 1b side of the plate.

  13. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:32 am

    Our third base coach flubbed. There’s no way Flores was going to score from first on a double to left field.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:37 am

    Yeah, and we ain’t coming back in this one.

  15. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:39 am

    The Reds are a good team. They weren’t going to look weak all series.

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:39 am

    Wow. When shit goes south it goes SOUTH.

  17. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:42 am

    Halberg sent Flores because he knows this lineup is challenged for hits. Hoping for a bad throw and didn’t get it. I don’t really blame him for waiving him in…

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:44 am

      He really has been excellent all year…

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:45 am

      Still and all. with Pederson up, I’d take the chance with Joc.

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:44 am

    Huh. 2 consecutive tag-outs at home. Never seen that before. Weird fucking game.

    Can we GET any offense?

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:44 am

  19. Yogi Barrister's avatar Yogi Barrister said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:47 am

    That was either a smart play by Wisely or dumb one by the runner. Think the Kiddie Corp has a puncher’s chance of coming back here.

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:48 am

    Story of this game is all this shit. Can’t buy a break.

  21. willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:52 am

    Really don’t understand what Joc was doing there. Guy’s fastball is at 93…he gets one up and away he could drive it out to here to LF.

    • unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:11 am

      Well, a home run does little. Getting on base is getting the pitcher out of his windup.

  22. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:57 am

    At least it’ll be over before you guys have lunch…

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:01 am

      Yeah, lunch today for me is leftover pizza and cold watermelon. A good lunch, IMO.

  23. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on July 20, 2023 at 10:59 am

    Jeez, what a crap job from Cobb.

  24. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:02 am

    Now it’s Webb and head to the head..

  25. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:04 am

    Votto got Baileyed.

  26. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:08 am

    Not impossible, but a comeback with this weak hitting LU is a long shot…

  27. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:10 am

    One hit wonders.

  28. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:13 am

    I’m having a hard time now remembering when Schmitt was good.

  29. Winder's avatar Winder said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:36 am

    Leaving Cincy with a split isn’t so bad we have looked pretty good overall.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:45 am

      Good point. Next 6 are 3 at Nats, 1 at Tigers and 2 at home vs. A’s.

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:48 am

      Agree. Won 8 of the last 11 games, with 5 wins out of 7 on the road (if we lose today). Not too shabby.

  30. Yogi Barrister's avatar Yogi Barrister said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:52 am

    On the upside, the Giants have sole possession of 2nd place…for a few more minutes

  31. willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 11:52 am

    Wilmet sends parting shot to Reds.

    Lose 3- of 4 to these guys and the beginning of this road trip will feel like a distant memory

  35. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on July 20, 2023 at 12:25 pm

    Casey at the bat:

    May – .325 16 RBI 16 k’s
    June – .140 5 RBI 18 k’s
    July – .086 1 RBI 9 k’s

    The mighty Casey has struck out.

    Ouch

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 12:55 pm

      No joy in Mudville…

  36. willedav's avatar willedav said, on July 20, 2023 at 1:03 pm

    Huh, don’t remember seeing this anywhere even in SF Chron, but Ed Bressoud died at age 91.
    Was giants SS when they first moved here and played for Giants through 1961 season. Wound up in NL Expansion draft, eventually winding up in Boston. Hit pretty well there for 4 seasons and was then dealt to Cards where he finished career on WS winning 1967 team, and got into couple games defensively.

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 7:15 pm

      Bressoud had a knack for hitting 3 run homers for the Mets.
      I remember Lindsey Nelson saying that he had 6 of em that year…

  37. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on July 20, 2023 at 1:42 pm

    Giants have to get a Starting pitcher maybe 2?
    But I would like to see what package the Giants could do to get both. Stroman&Bellinger.
    Strotman is like Webb a ground ball specialist and it shows giving up only 6HR’s in 118 innings and an ERA at 2.86… Bellinger has obviously figured his stroke out his BA .311 his K’d are way down and is fire in July 18-37 and still a plus OF with a great arm.

    Another guy they should look at is Orioles Ramon Urias who can play all 4 infield position even has a GG on his resume he’s a solid player..

  38. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 2:41 pm

    “was then dealt to Cards where he finished career on WS winning 1967 team,”

    Coincidentally on the Mets broadcast today, Ron Darling was talking about being a 7 year old Red Sox fan during the ‘67 season. The Red Sox lost to the Cards, but Darling grew up as a very devoted fan. He has a lot of memories of that ‘67 season.

    Baltimore playing to a .611 clip.

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 7:38 pm

      I saw a thing that the current AL East standings are the exact opposite of the size of the teams’ payrolls.

  40. mrsprtdude's avatar mrsprtdude said, on July 20, 2023 at 7:14 pm

    Bummer loss. getting old how most of our lineup can’t hit

  41. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on July 20, 2023 at 7:52 pm

    I think the Giants might be a bad team with a good record…

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 8:02 pm

      This Nats series will tell a tale.

  42. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on July 20, 2023 at 9:03 pm

    An article in FanGraphs about the uniqueness of Giants’ pitching, but I found the article to be very technical and hard to read, like a lot of FanGraphs’ articles.

    Once again the team is hurt and tired. Lots of brutal roadies this year.
