A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Soundly Beaten

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on April 2, 2024

That one just kinda felt like we were out of it from the first inning on. Disappointing but just one game. My boy Lee as well as Chapman and Conforto continue to rake. Would like to see Soler join the party at some point. Webb facing what appears to be a bullpen game from LA tonight.

    mm as Pawlie noted there are so many pitchers injured right now. Baggs said Snell will make debut next Monday at home, hopefully Cobb can return soon and roles can be readjusted for Winn and others. Not good beginning for pen obviously.

    Man, Iowa-LSU women’s game was fantastic. Clark really is something special, able to find open teammates and deliver great passes to cutters and in transition, and pure scorer who can get to rim and fire away from deep.

    there was big Asian club team tournament in South Bay over last weekend where I saw some girls games at HS level (and boys middle school) w some very talented players and lot of good exciting team ball and individual play from local teams and those up from LA.

    Missed this one over weekend but MLBTR story says DeSclafani will have flexor tendon surgery and miss all of 2024 plus some of 2025 for Twins. As noted in story, had decent 2021 season (when not pitching against LA) and then things went downhill. 2024 is end of 3 year/$36 mil contract from Z.

    Missed the last two games and glad I did. I don’t expect to beat the Dogs very often but we are giving up a lot of runs per game I know it’s early yet but the pitchers should be strong right now.

    5 games in not one Stolen Base are even an attempt I believe?What else is new

    So the Poll is open for who gets a steal first.

    And since there’s only 4 candidates in my book, Lee,Estrada with long shots Slater&Fritzgerald I will go with Lee since he atleast gets on base the most so far..

      In Korea (6 1/2 seasons), Lee had 1181 hits, 383 BBs, and 39 HBPs: OBP .407 (in just under 4,000 PAs). He stole a total of 69 bases, CS 23 times. I don’t think the SB is a big part of his game. His OPS was .898, though.

        Xoot, Neither is the Giants plan all season , probably end up dead last in steals…

    Bryce Harper 3HR’s last one a GrandSlam 6RBI’s have a night!

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on April 2, 2024 at 6:39 pm

      2 errors for Elly de la Cruz today. Had one already coming in, so that’s 3 in 5 games.

      Last year 13 errors in 69 games at SS, 4th most at SS in NL. hmmnn

      Btw, tied for most errors as C in NL–Patrick Bailey with 13. Also tied for league in passed balls with 8.

    my son thinks it’s amusing that the giants just traded Joey for a RHP named Strickland. I’m just glad they got someone.

      Pirates may have finally found their replacement for Jim Pagliaroni…

      UK guy xoot.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on April 2, 2024 at 7:55 pm

        I saw that. 8th round pick last year. Hell, Romo was a 28th round pick. (Just ignore Hjelle.).

  7. xoot's avatar xoot said, on April 2, 2024 at 7:24 pm

    purely lucky bloop for mookie and now Logan’s only gradually settling into the stretch.

    poor throw from Bailey let mookie advance. Now a legit single scores him. First innings are one of Webb’s worst Achilles heels.

    Ha Conforto says I got your platoon right here.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on April 2, 2024 at 7:57 pm

      and promptly gets picked off. Oy

  9. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on April 2, 2024 at 8:17 pm

    leave it to the Giants to let that batting practice pitcher Yarbrough off the hook who they should of kept hammering..

  10. xoot's avatar xoot said, on April 2, 2024 at 8:33 pm

    anybody else noticed that new chron Giants beat writer @shaynarubin filling in behind Slusser (who must be speeding to retirement as fast as she can go)? Rubin tweeted this after mookie hit a HR: “That dude Mookie Betts cannot be stopped.” She gets paid for her insight and her skillful phrasing.

    Soler launches that one.

  12. xoot's avatar xoot said, on April 2, 2024 at 8:49 pm

    El Crudo! El Cubano!

  13. willedav's avatar willedav said, on April 2, 2024 at 9:16 pm

    wow Roupp froze Mookie there and Rogers get Ohtani to ground out on one pitch.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 2, 2024 at 9:35 pm

    Dubs pulled it off. Be nice to see the Giants do the same. 

  15. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 2, 2024 at 9:43 pm

    Shouodn’t we be running?

    • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on April 2, 2024 at 9:54 pm

      Giants don’t know how to run Unca that’s why the SB pool is still open!

      And of course they can’t tie it up, so predictable..

  16. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 2, 2024 at 10:00 pm

    LA not running either. Strange.

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 2, 2024 at 10:04 pm

    Wooooooo Don’t take that again.

  18. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on April 2, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    Oh boy. What the actual fuck, Bailey.

    • Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on April 2, 2024 at 10:12 pm

      Feeble Bailey.

      • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on April 3, 2024 at 5:50 am

        I just got that.

        Very clever, Mac!
