Wilmet Leads MLB in RBI’s LOL
Miller throwing 104 and Wilmet just absolutely spitting on that shit. That dude has somehow given up 9 hits in 16 innings. Who is hitting that?
Let’s finish off the city-less A’s with me and my dad getting to watch the game together. Just like old times.
Very cool, Flav. Enjoy the hell out of that.
As far as Wilbur goes, I’m just blown away. He played 1st that night as well.
Crazy shit.
just foul off the unhittable strikes and take the rest–nothing to it. Ha! What an AB. Wilmer needs to stay healthy and rested so he can do this the entire season.
meanwhile, how about Lee’s play at the wall? I’m still astonished by his blend of precision and athleticism.
Yeah it’s not just the offense though he is fav hitter to watch.
So great for guys like Ramos and Matos to have Flores around. Lot for them to absorb about how to handle yourself day to day.
Quick hits: (1) Overdue for Giants to give Verlander nice run cushion in first five innings today. (2) First major roster adjustment in 2025: Birdsong to starting rotation and Hicks to bullpen. (3) Subtle tweak to relief corps with Doval seeming to reclaim 9th inning duties. (4) Just passed quarter pole in season and Giants despite 1-5 skid last week vs Twins & D’backs have played consistent .575-.600 baseball. (5) Adames & Chapman slowly rounding into form while Bailey & Wade remain weak link in lineup. (6) Bailey’s defense and management of pitching staff will keep him in everyday lineup but Posey’s first big in season test may be trading for power hitting 1B.
“A Giant Among Giants” is new bio of Willie Mac written by Chris Haft. First chapter of him arriving mid 1959 with big game vs. Robin Roberts and eventually winning NL Rookie of the Year unanimously and helping to fuel pennant run gets book off to great start.
Hope V can settle down after 27 pitch first inning.
El Pelota Ramos! 1 pitch 1HR!!!
Vamos Ramos!
this big kid Kurtz at 1B for sack was their top draft pick just last summer. Similar to Eldridge (who went 3-4 last night w. 2HRs and a double). Difference is two years in age and college experience. Also, the A’s always rush their prospects to the majors.
Yeah the A’s throw these kids right into the fire unlike the Giants That kid SS Jacob Wilson a #1 pick in 2023 even played last year at 22 ,weird stance but he’s been effective hiring .342?
A’s have some real nice players with Wilson,Langleirs,Rooker,Butler,Kurtz,Soderstrom,Andujar etc..
Mr.V is not cutting it..84 pitches, 5Walks lucky to be down only 2-1 ..That elusive 1st win continues on cause he’s done early today as Bivens comes again..
Some nice plays on IF today by Giants D.
2 shutout innings for Bivens. Yesterday pen had 4 no hit innings to hold off A’s.
A baserunner!
Finally another baserunner, and they got Springs out of the game.
LaMonte “I’m not dead yet” Wade Jr. Nice to see, off high 96 fastball. At least shooed away buzzards for another week or so.
And Bailey drives him in.
Tie game!
How about that are 2worst hitters Wade&Bailey deliver a triple&and a tying single!!2-2!!! Baseball is so unpredictable sometimes..
Untied!
I like Ramos. But damn he has a negligent streak.
Yeah, didn’t he get in same kind of rundown last week?
Yes. This time throw wasn’t cut off and he still got caught.
Verlander off the hook again..
sweep!
SWEEEEP!
As Elmore James put it, “I’m getting up soon in the morning/I believe I’ll dust my broom.”
thanks for stopping by A’s.
5 innings of one hit shutout relief today behind Verlander. 0 BB/5 K. without Rogers or Doval.
What a weekend! Bums swept by Halos and Pads swept by M’s.
Yeah sure was sweet and needed Mac!Pickup 3 games in 3 days and now only 1 game back again…
Fucking wordpress
fuck this shit

Thanks! Beautiful.
A little surprised Walker closed but he did it.
Damn. Al Central a little bit hotter than the NL West. 4th place KC is 26-22. Deetroit leads the majors at 31-16. And we got them coming up on our east cost swing coming up.
Yes this road trip could be brutal for the Giants. It’s gonna be a good test and hopefully we can come out with a .500 trip.
Have to dust off that album…..
When Hudson pitched for Giants, I think Stix used to mention “Terraplane.” I think that one is my favorite, buzzing of the bottleneck before he ends the verses. In some of the comments the speed of recording is brought up.
been a while since I stopped into the Beat Museum in North Beach but they used to have an actual Hudson Hornet in the main room identical to the one Cassady and Kerouac drove.
Love that little corner of the city. Up to and including the Tupac mural. City Lights. The t-shirt shop. Mr. Bings. Bummed that Rogue Brewery burned down on Union. And they fucking shut down Cap’s Corner.
Worked at 655 Montgomery for 6 years but went to Club Fugazi about 50 times over the past 50 years.
my last office in the city was on Columbus across the street from Mr Bings. I greatly enjoyed that neighborhood.
Lefty with a good changeup is getting to be old story.
soft toss blues
Who the hell is this Bublic guy?
Close
5 hopper…is that Giants first hit? Guess not
You know it’s the end of the line for Villar again, but he was actually better then Schmitt. with both small sample sizes( avg,OPS).Age I guess played into, but Villar makes the catch that Schmitt just butchered
Hey can we get a fucking hit off this chump?..
We did. After the fact.
Can’t believe they changed that to a hit.Flores would of been out by 10 ft, that’s wrought way to lose a no hitter..
Now that’s a hit.
There’s a real one. Nice shot Casey!
A true hit!
Ouch! Jesus. That was a dead duck drive. Stupid shit there.
Fuck, tough DP there.
Mr. Rogers strikes again.
mm his last 5 outings he had not even allowed a baserunner in 5 innings. someone on TA said it and I looked it up, and he was right. 9 groundball outs, 2 flyball outs, 4 Ks. 0-15 from hitters.
Royals did smoke couple off him, to their credit.
Sorry, but it’s doubtful I’ll ever warm up to him. It doesn’t help I attended two of his meltdowns last year (at Mets, at Cubs) that still piss me off.
Fuck. That was to be expected seeing the last couple guys tee off.
True dat.
Damn.
Jesus My Cousin Vinny launched that 2run Shot off Mr.Rodgers gonna take 3 runs for a team with really one hit..
Cannot waste an all too rare base hit from Huff.
Dang Wilmet. Lee is um, due.
And he comes through. 11-53 coming into tonight, 13-65 (.200) in May.
Hicks out of the pen, oh boy here we go.
Late in the game send Ramos as the tying run never really showed a play rounding 3 rd? Williams fast on the brakes call??
Yeah, wondering that myself, but down the line is so short.
Hicks is showing I can suck as a reliever too!!
last 3 games the offense has ben bad even by our standards!
Hopefully we can get some hits for birdsong tomorrow!
Giants were 9-0 in Robbie Ray starts the BP screwed it up tonight..
Birdsong time to deliver tomorrow night in his 1st start!!
