LLoved That Win

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on July 30, 2023

Irritating blown save but the Giants deserved that win and in the past those are games they’d lose. They handled Boston all game though and JD came through with not just the walk off but a bat flip for the ages.

What is Farhan doing right now. That’s what I’m thinking about this morning.

What is Farhan doing this morning??? Taking a big dump…

  Sometimes that’s the highlight of a day…

    I can’t argue…

Interesting to see what rest of West does by time dust clears. Pads have taken 2 straight from Rangers and held them to 1 run and a team that has plus run differential/losing record. They haven’t had 3 game winning streak all season yet and play Rox (getting stomped by A’s) next . AZ comes in next for 4 here. Dodgers might not be done adding yet.
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 8:50 am

Every time I check standings it’s still hard to believe that after 105 games and 4 months of baseball the Giants have won only 2 less games than the Dodgers.
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 9:01 am

The Giants currently occupy the top wild card spot again!
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 9:44 am

AZ over last 20 games is 6-14, worst NL. over last 30 11-19, tied for worst NL with Rockies.

Morroco Mole (Farhan) has ties for sure with GM Scott Harris former Giants GM now Detroit’s GM .Time to get off the shitter and work the phones..
One Trade rumor mentioned Detroit SP Mike Lorenzon for McCray,Loope,&Hejelle .That I would jump on!Though I like McCray ,Giants need to add a reliable SP pitcher ..
They also have a solid reliever in James Foley( never have enough dynamic arms in the pen) Giants need to clear out space on their 40 man to make moves and trades..

Still need a RH Bat for the infield DeJong would be perfect, just wondering if the Giants have talked about India as well?

The Giants placed Anthony DeSclafani on the IL with a right elbow flexor strain. Tristan Beck is back.

Bellinger off the market,they haven’t committed to Stroman though..
Seems like a tough market with so many teams (18 out of 30? at .500 and above)
And the sellers want young controllable prospects mostly pitching
While the buyers don’t always want rentals, they would like players with extended contract if possible..
- willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:16 pm
  
  Think fans would storm Wrigley if Cubs sold Stroman when they are 3 games out of first for prospects.
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:14 pm

Oy, out of zone swings already.
snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:14 pm

Looks like the DeScaloppini deal has turned into mush…
James said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:20 pm

Schmitt hasn’t had a single AB as controlled as Luciano’s just now.
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:29 pm

Toronto trades for Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks ., for 2 minor league pitching prospects ..
snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:31 pm

How many Giants have to be hit by pitches before the Giants hit somebody?
snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:33 pm

Love the bunt hit !…
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:35 pm

Ha another successful bunt. Yaz had sac one yesterday that paid off.
snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:38 pm

Can Schmitt just make contact ?
- snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:43 pm
  
  Yes. Good AB, at least got the one run in.
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:41 pm

Brainless…
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:42 pm

It’s time for payback Snarkk I’m sick of the Giants continuing to get drilled.Conforto had a chin burner before getting drilled and then nailed in the shoulder.Matos a shin burner but wtf??
Sabol great bunt loads them up no outs..
Schmitt quality AB , great play by Devers to get a force but the Giants are on the board whoopee!!
snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:42 pm

Unreal, but par for this course.
Bases juiced, no outs. They get one run.
Sabol with the bonehead base running. That shit loses you games…
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:43 pm

Sabol again with bad baserunning.
Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:43 pm

At least they got 1 with the bases loaded, unlike the usual outcome
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:49 pm

Sabol’s base running is reaching Luis Gonzalez &Ruben Rivera ineptitude..
James said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:53 pm

And Luciano swings at 3 pitches out of the zone to follow it up.
- xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:57 pm
  
  Looked like he was hunting hangers. The pitches were all good–strike three was a FB with more movement than most sliders.
  - xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:58 pm
    
    None were in the zone though, I agree.
  - James said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:06 pm
    
    The last strike was definitely right where he wanted to put it.
  - xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:13 pm
    
    It was a perfect pitch,but I bet it ended up slightly more inside Ie even better than he hoped. Luciano did well to foul tip it.
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 1:58 pm

And a wasted leadoff double by Yaz.
Can’t score AGAIN with a RISP!!
Luciano got worked hard all inside swinging at balls too, but hey Rooks will struggle, stay aggressive..
- xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:05 pm
  
  I think he got a piece of each of those strikes. That nasty strike three was a foul tip I believe. Just terrific movement.
Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:01 pm

Lesdoff double — the usual result.
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:05 pm

Stripling did well that inning; the ump was squeezing him a bit.
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:28 pm

Wilmet to RISP rescue
- xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:33 pm
  
  He cancelled that coincidental stat didn’t he?
  - willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:39 pm
    
    Yes. was surprised to see those numbers they flashed yesterday. He’s been lights out slashing ball all over field.
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:29 pm

Mr. Ed has to be NL Player of the Month…
xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:32 pm

Wilmer! There are players who gather fan respect steadily, cumulatively — like WAR. Wilmer’s fan WAR should be very high. It is with me.
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:36 pm

Yep.. Mr.Ed is far from dead when it comes to hitting u want him up there in the Clutch AB..
Player of the Month give it to the horse 🐴 he’s been unbelievable!

Wow what a beautiful play by Crawdaddy still flashing the leather for a DP!!
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:42 pm

Just like in the movie “
Mad Mad Mad Mad World “

Just look for the Big W it’s where the money is..
Are Big W is Wilmer Flores he’s are Money ballplayer!
Flavor said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:50 pm

Duvall. Lol. Of course.
unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 2:56 pm

Here we go.
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:04 pm

“Right idea” stfu Kruk. It’s effing stupid for Joc to do that. Crawford just lined a base hit of LHP. You’re the power hitter and you try drag bunt?
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm

Giants are sure going to be strong going forward at 3 key positions,C Bailey,SS Luciano,& Matos the strength up the middle and even Schmitt at 2nd/SS /3B makes some nice flexibility..
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:09 pm

Wilmer now at .301…
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:10 pm

Geez and now Kuiper screwing up as he’s calling Crawford safe at 2nd when it’s Joc who’s safe ..
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:15 pm

Kuiper calling Crawford safe at 2B on Wilmer’s flare when it was Pederson another flub of losing it..
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:17 pm

De La Cruz picked a good time to have a good game, 4 hits vs. the Dodgers.
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:17 pm

The same motherfuckers always torture us and they can’t seem to do anything about it…
- Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:49 pm
  
  With the new schedule, there’s no hiding from Giant killers.
Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:18 pm

Fuckin’ Rogers has not been good for awhile now.
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:19 pm

Damm you Tyler that pitched was grooved and it would be freaking Turner who keeps tormenting the Giants!! Sox’s up 3-2 on that bomb..
- djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:34 pm
James said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:33 pm

God, Schmitt is a dumbass.
unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:35 pm

Estrada can’t come back fast enough
Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:35 pm

Good riddance to this ump crew after the game ends.
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:36 pm

If Schmitt wants to stay a major leaguer he has to do better than that.
- djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:37 pm
  
  I can’t believe he wasn’t sent down weeks ago…
  - unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:39 pm
    
    agreed
  - zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:40 pm
    
    He and Sabol have strong potential, but both of them need to improve their baseball IQ.
  - willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:45 pm
    
    lot of Giants fans elsewhere said this.
James said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:41 pm

There’s a little bit of Hunter Strickland to Doval’s 100 mph.
unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:42 pm

Getting hosed by the umps is an issue these last 8 crews.
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:46 pm

Bruce Bochy gets some more shiny pitchers to use as the Rangers are all in .
They just added Jordan Montgomery from the Cardinals after getting Scherzer as well..
Morocco Mole still in his hole waiting for ground hog day as the Giants as usual remain silent..
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:54 pm

Well are bench is empty cause they don’t want to use Wade, so why don’t they DL him with his bad back,right leg pain etc and get someone else up ??
- djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:56 pm
  
  Because that would make sense…
willedav said, on July 30, 2023 at 3:57 pm

Nice to have Beck back.
James said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:02 pm

Some more warning track power, please.
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:09 pm

Matos got a pitch down the middle. Sox pitcher made a mistake, but Matos didn’t do much with it.
James said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:12 pm

Embarrass all of us negative geezers, Casey.
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:13 pm

Matos may be the new Marvin Benard…
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:16 pm

He had 2 great pitches to bunt.
WTF is his problem?
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:18 pm

Crawford practices bunting during BP more than any other Giant I saw at Citifield…
Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:19 pm

Yeah Joc! Series win!
Flavor said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:19 pm

Llove it!
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:20 pm
Macdog said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:21 pm

And way to go Shitter!
- James said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:25 pm
  
  Stripling, Manaea, Beck, Farhan sez to himself we’re good to go!
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:21 pm

BALLGAME!!
Torture ends with a Joc coming through!!

snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:23 pm

I’d rather have these kinds of interleague games than 3 more with the Dbacks or Rockies or Pads…
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:26 pm

Gotta give Craw credit. The old pro stepped in and said: “Here’s the bunting fundamentals, lads.”
snarkk said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:29 pm

Stripling.
Does that dude ever pitch without giving up a dinger ?…
zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:37 pm

Beck had great stuff today.
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:54 pm

Pretty cool interview with Ross Stripling who’s very articulate talking about the clubhouse vibe after a win..Yeah it usually starts out with high 5’s then some techno blazing music ,we’ve got fog machines and a used car dealership blow up thing that waggles in the air in a corner, and after about 5 minutes the 2 fog machines take over and u can’t see your teammates anymore!! Great Stuff!!
mrsprtdude said, on July 30, 2023 at 4:56 pm

Beck player of the game! Big win!! Time for Z to do something! If we don’t get a starter I’m gonna be pissed!
Winder said, on July 30, 2023 at 5:03 pm

Fun city
alleykat69 said, on July 30, 2023 at 5:04 pm

Orioles crushing the Yanks and it’s awesome as they scored 7 runs in the 1st inning..
- zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 5:23 pm
  
  Boone, the manager on a very hot seat.
  I’ve seen Mattingly’s name floated out there as a possibility if the Yankees end the season in disappointment.
  - djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 8:41 pm
    
    Mattingly is a god in NY – even to me.
    Idk WTF they’re waiting for…

    Most beloved Yankee since Mantle…
unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 9:48 pm

Thought the Pads would run into the buzz saw that the Rangers are, but they swept. 52-54.
unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 9:52 pm

Stripsearch was dealing today. Gives me a little hope for him. DeScaffolding has collapsed.

41 hours and counting . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 9:54 pm

Who is the most beloved SF Giant ever?
Depends on the age of the fan.
On here probably McCovey just over Mays and our extraordinary Latin contingent.
Go younger and there’s the Clarks, 2 Bonds, Tim, Bum, etc.
Have a nice night.
And ditch Wordle for immaculate grid.
Grow up…
- zumiee said, on July 30, 2023 at 10:01 pm
  
  Maybe it’s kind of shallow of me, but my most beloved Giants ever are a bunch of the 3-in-5-years guys now. Championships!
- xoot said, on July 30, 2023 at 10:14 pm
  
  That immaculate grid game is a killer. Wordle is a nice diversion over a second cup of coffee.
  
  Most beloved Giant, I immediately thought Barry Bonds but then almost as quickly. to my surprise, I thought Rod Beck. Not an easy question.
- unca_chuck said, on July 30, 2023 at 10:17 pm
  
  McCovey, Mays, Speier, Bobby Bonds, The Count, Will Clark, Jack Clark, Robby Thompson, Big Daddy, Shooter, Barry, Schmidt, Timmy, Mad Bum, Posey, Angel, the Horse . . .
- James said, on July 30, 2023 at 10:56 pm
  
  I got 5 of the nine in the grid. I’m surprised I did even that well.
  - djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 11:00 pm
    
    But you grew as a person…
  - James said, on July 30, 2023 at 11:15 pm
    
    Maybe once I realized that I didn’t really understand how to play. I might have gotten a few more …
  - djloo27 said, on July 30, 2023 at 11:21 pm
    
    It still confuses me at times…

  the Nenth inning also
