Swoon
I haven’t looked it up but I don’t think we’ve had a lot of these June Swoon’s lately. I definitely remember it when I was a kid. Regardless, we are losing a lot of games right now. Had we not given away games early on (see: the Dalton Jefferies Era) a losing streak like this might not sting as much. But we did give those games away and the D-backs could pass us in the standings with a win tonight.
Either way we could be getting closer to it getting easier for BoMel to just start running our youngsters out there more often. That would take a little sting out of the return of Conforto and the underwhelming Slater and maybe Z can somehow unload Soler to someone unwitting.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
my kid got home late sits down to see Soler come up to bat I guess in the 8th and says ground ball third base..and guess what…Soler likely the worst signing coming off his “career” year and Farhan got suckered.
Buyers or sellers? No matter what happens, we won’t be standing pat at the trading deadline.
you’d think but Farhan has sat on his hands the last couple of seasons
True dat, I should have added, this year, to the above.
yes. Lot of teams need OF help and pen help.
No one will want what we have.
Rodriguez has good fastball just got beat with it. Ryne nelson and his ERA of 6 coming in is another story and Giants couldn’t beat him. discouraging game
Since lofty expectations don’t exist anymore it is nice just to see us play a solid game here and there. I agree with Flav about BoMel sending the kids out there would make things a lot more tolerable.
Looks like the kids are all in tonight against the lefty starter.
The best of the kids Heliot Ramos is leading off where he belongs are no lower then 3rd with his solid .295 average and OPS at .833(needs to get as many AB’s as possible in the LU)he’s proven now that he’s their best prospect with the most experience and needs to be in the heart of the order EVERYDAY!!You need to get this Melvin and not bat him 7-8 anymore, he hits the ball as hard as anyone on the team except for Soler eclipse but with better results!
Good assessment AK . . . agree.
Zumie would appreciate this – https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/04/media/caitlin-clark-media-coverage/index.html
Smack down of Smith, McAfee, and Barkley for their “no nothing” takes of Clark and the WNBA.
Thanks!
It’s a real interesting situation. This may be the one chance the WNBA has to break through permanently, and there’s lots of dynamics going on.
Like, who had ever even heard of Chennedy Carter, pronounced Kennedy (whatever), until she cheap-shotted Clark? The kind of cheap-shot that, if it happened in the NBA, would result directly in fisticuffs. The look on Clark’s face said it all: “what the bleep? I’m bringing this almost anonymous league into relevance, and you almost injured me with a stupid cheap-shot.”
Chicago Sky is playing NY on the NBA network, and Carter is actually a good player.
The NBA finals are taking a long time to get started.
The Golden State Valkyries will be a WNBA expansion team next year, which is great news.
I’m not so sure about that V-shaped logo, though. They might have thought that one through a bit more.
Well, we know then that Richard Wagner will be making a musical comeback before every home game…
Soon to be the Kyries.
Who dipped the Diamondbacks in butter?
After Ramos shows why he’s finding success, Thairo with one of the stupidest Ks you’ll ever see.
He looks 50 lbs heavier than the day they drafted him…
Thairo feasts on middle in when he’s right and lays off high pitches. He’s not right, after only a short injury rest.
Thairo calmate. Swung at Ball 5.
Who had J Kidd getting Dallas to play enough defense to get there? Great ESPN story on them tanking end of last season to hang onto draft pick that netted them Derrick Lively and how hard he’s worked in first year in league.
Whoever designed these putrid Serpentine uni’s should be feathered and flogged! They look like grey pompom!
Giants with their customary DP ball to end the first!So tired of that shit every Fucking game..
One of Kidd’s favorite hobbies was punching his wife in the face in front of their son at the breakfast table…
Berkeley didn’t teach him a thing.
Newly elected Prez of Mexico studied at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab there, right?
Yeah, while working on her phd. Energy and climate change expert.
STOP helping this guy!
Thee old bases loaded jinx.
4 walks a hit 50 pitches in2 innings, 0 runs.
Dirty Harry at 16.
You would think the Giants rookies Ramos,Fitzgerald Wisely,Matos,Luciano and some of the pitchers should all know Walston well since he pitched for D-backs AAA team the Reno Aces in the PCL against Sac Rivercats..
Bailey with the double double
Just pathetic 2DP’s in 3 innings from a guy all over the place with 63 pitches already! Damm how about atleast a hit and run ?
clown show pitch. Could be 3 outs but they miss ‘em all.
I don’t expect much from Schmidt, but can you imagine where we would be if Soler and Flores could hit at all? Soler get lots of venom (well deserved) while Flores gets almost none. Both are unwatchable right now. I can’t remember the last time I saw either of them hit a ball hard with runners on. Flores .214 with 1 homer. Yuck!
send in the clowns
about the best we could have gotten after the schitt defense.
I suspect Harrison, with his 92 mph fastball, is not going to “learn” to pitch, ala Webb. Tyler Rogers’ delivery is deceptive; Harrison’s stuff is just lacking in velocity and movement at a time when 95 mph is barely above average. What a disappointment.
Everyone loves Wilmer. Loo, waddyathink, is he just slumping, or is he declining with no return?
Comment on other site said seems like he’s aged 5 years since October.
Finally broke through vs. Uncle Martin.
wow. They ground out a run.
and strike 4 is a double
Yep.
oh my
Schmitt playing a little kickball.
thank God they hit it to chappie
OMG Schmitt has turned into Bob Brenly playing the infield
My god, bring back Craw?
Several guys had a chance to Wally Pip Ahmed, and no one did it on defense.
Takin one for the team.
That was good AB from Ramos laying off non strikes for BB
huzzah. The dying quail.
Fought his way through that vs. top of the order. After bad inning wasn’t sure he’d finish 5.
Or 6.
24 lob?
Great AB, Chap.
and no one covers 2nd. Jesus. Stupid is as stupid plays.
Giants infield D other than Chapman is a crapshoot.
How can you expect to be competitive with that going on every game? It cost SF a run right now.
BTW, another meh start from Harrison. This kid was hyped as a massive phenom, can’t miss. He looks like ultimately a #5, maybe a #4 at best. Where’s the 97 mph movement heater and big time curveball we heard about coming up? …
It’s an age old problem. Baumgarner’s velo was overhyped too.
Dirty Harry is the LEAST of this team’s problems.
they can’t field, cover bases, run bases, or hit with risp. If Harrison is a 3 4 or 5 at least he gives the team a fucking chance ti win.
Wake me when football starts…
This team is so bad.
Both big FA signings have missed most of the season. Wade went down at his apogee. SS was always a problem. Correa never looked so good. Where would we be without Chapman?
Game over.
Giants playing like a single A club.
I’m out…
6 straight losses and no relief in sight for a win. they are so unwatchable…
guys squaring with 2 outs and a 6 run lead in the 8th? Ida drilled him for that.
I’ve had my fill of Giants baseball for the night.
well hello!
D-backs 14 3-2 counts. Most by 1 team in MLB this season, and yet on 2 runs we sit.
Wow a reverse jinx! Nice hit yaz!
yazmatazZ. That’s for Stix.
and down and down and down and down and down and down we go.
D-Backs celebrate their win.

The unavoidable words of the year are sustainable and unsustainable. I think I hear or read them 10 times a day. How does this shit start?
Young people are worried they’re going to be handed a ruined planet and a Mad Max future?
