A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Going McCray Cray

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 8, 2024

Well, at least we have an NFL Sunday to get excited for! Niners tomorrow. I have absolutely no feel for what they’ll do this year. They got all their guys back but it’s just been a sludge of negative press all Summer. Maybe they rise above it but it sure doesn’t feel that way right now.

    Adding Loo’s nickname from last night to Flav’s blog entry title, we have McCray Cray All the Way.

    Gonna be a weird football season for me. We dropped all live local and sports channels from our cable. I’ll probably only use streameast for the 9ers, so it’ll be a weird season for me.

    wow football Giants reference, per Leon McQuay. Poor guy died of heart attack at age 45.

    cbs said NYGs to wear throwback unis today as they celebrate 100th season in NFL. Hopefully they get off to good start for Mac’s sake; lot of fans in TA referencing 2022 playoff W vs. Vikes. Both teams missed playoffs last year.

    And unfortunately the throwback uni’s are not working as the NY Giants continue to suck.
    Vikings 21-3 As former 49er Sam Darnold on fire go figure? Sorry Mac but looks like another long season for the Giants.But theirs always the Jets! But hopefully not tomorrow against the 49ers! Should be a great game though! I have Jets DST and their going to solid all year!

    Campman gets us 2 with that HR.

    • Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 1:54 pm

      Yeah, I’m watching the game.

  5. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 1:57 pm

    Roll out the barrel. Beer leaguer tapped that one.

  6. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 1:58 pm

    Now Matos joins the party, gone.

  7. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:00 pm

    Luciano keeps it going with a double.

  8. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:00 pm

    # HRs in one inning?

    7 hits in a row?

    Somebody must have given them Metamucil in their spread last night — Stop the Giants !

  9. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:05 pm

    A crooked number 6 here in the 4th.

  10. xoot's avatar xoot said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:05 pm

    Nice to see the Giants minimize their no hit ways to the first time through the order. lol.

    • Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:09 pm

      Yep, also nice to see them take an early lead. Now they gotta hold em.

  11. bassbaldy's avatar bassbaldy said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:17 pm

    Now that the season is lost & pressure to make the playoffs is massively reduced, maybe these guys are beginning to relax & have a bit-o-fun!

    • Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:32 pm

      Yep, glad to see it.

  12. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:41 pm

    Groundball to 3b, Chapman starts inning ending DP for Miller. 6-1 Giants end of 5.

    Yes Mr. b-b…Padres beat writer AJ Cassevell said those 6 runs in 4th inning were more than Musgrove had given up in last 5 starts plus 3 innings since coming off IL in August.

  13. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:42 pm

    Casali? yeow. Was just gonna look up last time Matos homered lol.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:46 pm

      June 28 in 5-3 win vs. LA when Giants took 2 of 3 from Dogs.

      Next game was 0-6 that began 3-33 slide that earned him trip back to Sac.

  14. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 2:52 pm

    I wanted to see em let Bivens finish the 5th. I think he deserved a chance for the win.

    • bassbaldy's avatar bassbaldy said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:07 pm

      totally agree .. isn’t that the kinda thing that helps manifest team spirit, especially in the youngsters?

  15. mrsprtdude's avatar mrsprtdude said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:02 pm

    unlucky re the error. Likely cost him a win:(

    • Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:04 pm

      Yeah, but I still wish they had let him pitch through that. He was throwing well today.

  16. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:10 pm

    Yeah that sucks for Bivens letting Miller vulture his win.

    You know it’s your day when Casali hits a HR.

  17. xoot's avatar xoot said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:27 pm

    Fitzfuckup has a downside somewhat similar to Donny Bobbles’s.

    Good to see Donny’s still getting his ABs in.

  18. xoot's avatar xoot said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:43 pm

    Tranquilo Pendejo.

  19. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:44 pm

    Just can’t see Fitzgerald sticking at SS 12 errors now, They should really go after Adames, second choice Kim but Adames a better overall player with power and solid defense.Fitz could slide to 2nd and battle Luciano for errors there lol but Fitz is still the proven player of the 2…

  20. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:46 pm

    Having to bring in Walker, this is so fucked up.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:51 pm

      Yeah to get 5 outs. doval is toast, still hasn’t established command. slider down and away for ball 4 then hangs one that winds up in seats.

  21. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:49 pm

    Wow that was big, as Walker picks him off and then gets harmless ground ball to end inning.

  22. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 8, 2024 at 3:58 pm

    I read/heard somewhere that the Giants, in the offseason, offered Dovall $55 million. Unsure of years. He stupidly rejected it. Nobody is going to get near that number now…

  23. bassbaldy's avatar bassbaldy said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:01 pm

    WheW!!!

  24. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:02 pm

    A whew win. The Giants almost beat themselves today.

  25. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:02 pm

    Snagged by Yaz in corner as Walker with 5 out save.

    Giants take series over 81 Win Padres.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:05 pm

      sets down Arraez Tatis Jr and Profar from top of the order to close it out.

  26. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:03 pm

    Amazing the crap Giants took 2 of 3. Almost gave back a laugher, but Walker put a stop to it. He and Fitz are my choices for 2nd half of season heroes, such as they are…

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:09 pm

      Agreed, but Fitz is big part of “almost gave back a laugher” and I think he signed himself up for the lecture series from coaching staff or manager. I’m sure he called the popup but it was hit right where Luciano was standing so he should have seen that. And if you call it you gotta catch it, 100%.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:09 pm

      I have no idea what Fitz was doing on the pop up. He was 25 feet onto the R side of the diamond. Luciano made a half hearted wave of his right hand as he camped under it and waited for it to plop into his glove. But, Fitz just goes for it, doesn’t even look at Luciano. WTF? That’s obviously Luciano’s ball.

      Fundamentals lacking, again…

      • Flavor's avatar Flavor said, on September 8, 2024 at 4:59 pm

        appreciate this level of honestly in an interview

        https://x.com/KNBR/status/1832928204887392393

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 8, 2024 at 7:02 pm

        He sorta took the blame, but sorta threw Luciano under the bus for supposedly not calling it loud enough. Maybe he didn’t yell loud, but Uh, dude, you have to know where you are on the field — you’re literally rolling right into the 2bman’s position. Anyway, another example of how did these guys get up to the bigs with fundamentals this crappy?

  27. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 5:28 pm

    Lions another team in single color unis. Sucks

    • Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on September 8, 2024 at 7:11 pm

      Awful, oughta be banned. And yeah, NYG looked every bit as bad as their unis.

  28. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on September 8, 2024 at 7:21 pm

    Good to see the Giants win a series vs. a contender. And a Casali bomb, how did that happen? First HR by a catcher since god knows when.

    • djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on September 8, 2024 at 7:56 pm

      John Orsino?

  29. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 8, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    Rams go down in OT. Awesome.
