A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

We Win!

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on May 12, 2024

I know Chap has been in a slump but his power is there, man. He’s just been in a funk. Soler I don’t know about. He is worrying me whether he’s injured or not. It’s wild to me that the brass considered both Black and Jefferies, twice, and still picked Jefferies both times. I get it, he’s got a short leash but Black is on a different planet than Jefferies. It really makes you wonder if they have any fucking idea what they are doing or how to do it.

    Doubt analytics agreed with it, but Wade Jr. was in lineup vs. LHP batting second. Singled to CF first AB and scored after Chapman bomb. Only Giant w OPS above .900.

    Elly charged w error #8 yesterday…wonder if/when Reds move him elsewhere like Pads did w Tatis Jr., who is really good in RF. Last week he caught a guy rounding 1b too far after single and gunned him down.

    Yogi mentioned Hjelle yesterday, and he has done well since Mets lit him up in April

    .Last 5 appearances 7 innings 6 hits 0 runs 0 BBs 12 Ks.

  3. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 10:07 am

    Yes I’m in shocked but extremely happy that Hjelle seems to have turned the corner in his career considering his career stats going into this season was 6.00 era in 60 innings most teams would of cut him but the Giants stuck with him and right now he’s quite effective..

    Elly Delacruz as talented a young player he is I feel is just too tall and gangly to play SS,(8 errors already is a lot in only (40games?)the Reds would be better off with that speed and arm to make him a Centerfielder imo…

  4. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 10:51 am

    Btw BF is right like a lot us with the Giants wasting starts with Jeffries with Black certainly the better option.And giving time with another obvious no talent player in Mitch White 2 Roster spots that made no sense and of course didn’t have a chance for success cause of the Giants continued approach of “VETERAN” Presence .I’m so sick of that crap,pitch the young relievers that’s the future not the relics from the past!Will they ever take their foot out of their asses and realize that?

  5. xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:23 am

    mccchronicle says Lee’s in CF today. Paywall shot up before I could copy the full LU. Who would pay? I did see Ramos’s name.

    Hell, Matos may be back soon.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:44 am

      Good news, thanks. Anyone on X hear about Conforto? Speculation if he were to go on IL either Matos or Luciano up.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:55 am

        Flemming on the radio post game said full HS strain. .

  6. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:48 am

    Yeah,the problem with signing 30+ guys is the injury factor.

    But really, it’s baseball for fuck’s sake. How hard is it to keep loose? Lazy ass motherfuckers.

  7. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:48 am

    Xoot..You can see the the Giants confirmed LU if you just scroll over to BF’s The Associates to the right and 3rd one down is MLB Daily Lineups ..

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:53 am

      ah! Thanks. I generally use the mobile feed. Not sure the side bars show. I’ll look.

  8. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 11:58 am

    Jazz Chisholm triples off Z Wheeler, straining to get out of the 4th as Marlins lead Phils 6-3.

  9. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on May 12, 2024 at 12:37 pm

    Conforto to IL, Matos up.

  10. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 12:49 pm

    And just like that all the rook’s are up except Luciano due to injuries …

  11. xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:20 pm

    Oh shit.

  12. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:21 pm

    Disaster

  13. Yogi Barrister's avatar Yogi Barrister said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:22 pm

    Welp. Lee is out for two months. An absolute disaster of a first inning.

  14. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:24 pm

    WTF?????

  15. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:28 pm

    Goddamit Now Lee hurt!! Elbow/Shoulder running out of Outfielders fast!

    Should be Luciano but I would not bet against Meckler next..

    Geez Harrison way to amped up throwing way to many pitches being wild..

    Had to finally come in are walking in a run and the hitter cleared the bases..

    • Yogi Barrister's avatar Yogi Barrister said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:36 pm

      Meckler is still out with an undisclosed injury. There’s been no information about him for over a month. Sounds like an Andrew Wiggins situation, something so personal, nobody can talk about it.

  16. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:35 pm

    The Sac-town Express is being fully engaged.

  17. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:43 pm

    I hope Lee is OK, but if he’s out for a while, the Giants can try to improve on Lee’s disappointing numbers on offense.

    • alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:55 pm

      What’s with Lee’s numbers compared to most Giant hitters Zumie? He was actually heating up 10-24 last 6 games..

      I want to know WTF is going on with Meckler being AWOL ( thanks Yogi didn’t know that)not playing at all this year? And yet he’s on the active 40? Shit like this is what pisses me off with this organization!

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:58 pm

        There’s not much pop in Lee’s bat, and he doesn’t walk much. I was expecting more, for the contract he got.

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:00 pm

        But, yeah, lots of other Giants hitters have been disappointing, too.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:01 pm

        Lee’s third in mlb for fewest SOs per ABs. Not bad for a rookie.

      • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:04 pm

        He hits a lot of pop-ups and fly-outs. He needs a better approach for MLB success.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:20 pm

        uh huh. His star is still rising..

  18. xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 1:44 pm

    I think that ball four to Elly is the first call the ump has blown. Many close ones already. Hope he remains consistent. Many pitches not close, from Wild Harry.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:27 pm

      yeah that was issue right from start. Gutting this out through 5 without further damage. Good for him.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:30 pm

        exactly.

  19. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:24 pm

    wow nice play by Chapman. Elly turns routine grounder to 3b into exciting play

  20. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:33 pm

    Warren Spahn fought as a soldier in the freezing cold in Korea. He didn’t have an easy gig like some major leaguers in wartime.

  21. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:34 pm

    Wild Harry’s day will be over.98 pitches 5 walks 5K’s only 3 hits plus a HBP surprised they only got 3 runs off him he sure battled hard maybe the Giants can get him off the hook???

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:36 pm

      ask ye shall receive.

  22. xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:35 pm

    just saw a tweet. SF and the Cardinals are the only teams this year w/out a HR from SS. Let’s see if Schmitt can do something about that. (oh, Crawford. What a way to go.)

  23. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:37 pm

    Late Afternoon ties er up.

  24. Yogi Barrister's avatar Yogi Barrister said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:38 pm

    Lee has a shoulder strain

    Harrison gets through five

    Junior ties the game

    It’s been a good inning

  25. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:38 pm

    And Wade bails out Dirty Harry with a Bomb that just cleared the wall! 3-3 new ballgame!!

  26. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:42 pm

    RBI Ramos. We take the lead.

  27. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:42 pm

    Flores hustling into 2b on that ball that got away, and now he scores on 2 out RISP from Ramos that knocks Montas out of there.

    Yes, it’s been great inning.

  28. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:43 pm

    Ramos is doing more with his bat and glove in 3 games than Slater has so far this season…

  29. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:45 pm

    Sabol with the dribble triple.

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:48 pm

      he runs well for a catcher who can’t catch real well.

      • Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:50 pm

        True dat, xoot.

  30. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:46 pm

    Baseball is such a weird game as bad as Harrison pitched he can qualify for a win now..

  31. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:47 pm

    And it gets better!

    After that shaky first inning, Harrison outlasted vet Montas who is getting $16mil this season from Reds if I read B/R right.

  32. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:50 pm

    Candelario (over at 1b for Reds) was mostly 3b, right? Still Elly picks up error #9

  33. xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:54 pm

    I think Chapman’s back to full strength.

  34. zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 2:58 pm

    • xoot's avatar xoot said, on May 12, 2024 at 3:29 pm

      I think his motion is slightly quicker and more deceptive than it was years past. Something’s better. I’m impressed so far.

  40. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 12, 2024 at 3:27 pm

    I didn’t get Walker coming in for Hjelle. Hjelle gave up a hit, after two guys easily retired. Walker is also right handed. Chaos ensued. Somebody enlighten me…

  41. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 12, 2024 at 3:28 pm

    Do we get the focused Doval or the dude out in the ozone?…

  42. willedav's avatar willedav said, on May 12, 2024 at 3:28 pm

    Nice grab going back by Ramos. Reds are teeing off on Walker. Hopefully Doval can hold them off scoreboard.

  43. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on May 12, 2024 at 3:29 pm

    Yeah, maybe a good move taking Walker out after those hard-hit shots.

  44. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on May 12, 2024 at 3:29 pm

    Ramos is doing just about everything with bat and glove to show he belongs. Hope he keeps it up…

    Well this Mother’s Day crowd is really getting they’re moneys worth It been a good game! Happy Mother’s Day to all you Flappers!

    Yeah I would not of pulled Highway to Heaven he was solid as he has been lately.Giants always do this shit where they now feel Walker is moving into an 8th inning guy, so that’s how they play it a lot unfortunately..

    I’m wondering are the Giants ever going to throw out a baserunner from the catching pósiton cause no way Sabol can do it.. Bailey obviously can but he’s been banged up and dealing with a viral condition..

    • zumiee's avatar zumiee said, on May 12, 2024 at 4:35 pm
