Miami Stinks
….but will that even matter? Feels like the last 15 years or so our record vs Miami is probably pretty bad. Anyone know how to look that up? If they somehow start hitting, who knows, we might not lose too many…..

A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
It’s actually pretty .500 ish

Huh. All the previous threads are all bad news about Miami
last game vs Miami that I attended.

Miami can hit and have been lately. Until proving otherwise, the Giants can’t. Giants will do well to take 1.
Sorry to see today that Klay Thompson’s good buddy, Rocco the bulldog, was put down last weekend. It was always good fun to see Klay with Rocco, particularly vids of both on Klay’s boat in the Bay. Never a good day when you have to put your dog down, regardless of who you are…
Looks like Schmitt starts at 1b vs. RHP.
give him a legitimate shot. Jerar will be ready to start his next week apparently. Poor Lamont needs the 200 day IL.
On KNBR earlier this week, Buster didn’t say it outright but when asked about Wade’s useless bat, the very tepid support Buster gave sure sounded like Wade will be hitting the road soon…
Oy, MLBTR lead story is will Adames turn it around or not?
Was going there to look up story that Orioles CF Cedric Mullins was placed on IL. Had great April/awful May (sound familiar?), and is a rental. O’s are in rare category of non contending team with some hitters that might be available soon.
Damm MASH star Loretta Swit Maj “Hotlips Houlihan” has passed away at 87..
Met her and Jack Lord on location while filming Hawaii Five-0 on our street in Honolulu. She was sitting in one of those “director” type chairs, watching the filming. Quite approachable and very friendly. Myself, my brother, and a couple of friends were 12-13 years old. She chatted with us, signed autographs, etc.
Conversely, Jack Lord was a complete asshole, when he saw us approaching, he hurriedly walked away and “hid in his trailer.” My brother and I called him names from outside his trailer, but didn’t get a reaction, until we threw rocks at his trailer. He ran outside, chasing us, and swearing up a storm, ” . . . *%&#^%_#.” Too funny.
Anyway, RIP Loretta. I’ll always remember her kindness to a bunch of kids.
Danno! Book em! Book em, Danno!
fwiw .. Career BA’s for vets: Wade = .239; Yaz & Chap = .240; Adames =.245; Flores = .260
eh, what the heck, fwiw, Career OPS for vets: Wade.744; Flores.751; Adames.757; Yaz.778; Chap.788
Per KNBR, Giants hitting .143 with RISP last 11 games. Dead last in MLB. Now, add that to how often do they even get any RISP…
geezus, your kidding .. I knew it was bad but, damn that is BAD!
To clarify, that last place in RISP was over that period of games. Not that that is really gives any solace…
Allright let’s show some hands flappers, Who wants to punch both Larry Baer&Greg Johnson in the face!👊🥊I can’t stand either one on all the lame excuses of adding baseball talent( break even is are motto)
👍
An RBI machine.
Great AB by Wilmet ! I thought for sure after Ramos one out Triple they wouldn’t score! But Mr.Ed delivers again..
.. and why would you think that Kat?
Probably cause I believe the Giants don’t know that home plate is a friend in baseball, if you cross it ,it counts as a run Baldy.They think of it as a “Forbidden Zone” like Planet of the Apes, but Charlton Heston said I don’t give a shit about these mangy Apes I’m going there anyway…
exactly right Kat .. let’s get these f*ckin monkeys off our back, fer fck sakes!
Only the Giants can hit two doubles in an inning and not score.
you are so right-on, it hurts!
gettting thrown out in scoring position. Brilliant
97 there from Harrison on 3-2 to Stowers who swings right through it.
And there’s 3 more by Hernandez to end inning. Stop trying to be cute and nibble, pls.
Chapman with the payback.
Chapman bomb!
5 innings one hit no runs? Not bad.
Yeah well done by Harrison. 80 pitches 3 BBs 5Ks. Lowers ERA to 2.51
Yep. Good game for him.
just proves what we are all saying. Pitching is not the problem. Hitting with RISP, now that’s a big issue, same as last year. So far, 8 hits today is nice. 2 for 9 RISP, 8Ks not so good.
This game is looking very familiar. Leave RISP early on, good G’s pitching early to keep the oppo down. Then, mid-late game its gets squirrelly. Hopefully this one ends differently than recent experience…
very good observation Snarkk. Those squirrelly mid-game innings have been doing us in.
with a terrific pen after an off day — why did Beck get the call in a close game ?
I thought same, but no damage done.
Melvin won’t give Harrison any leash compared to Webb are Ray.5 innings and cruising on 80 pitches,1 hit,5K’s 3 walks.You want to stretch him out right? Then luckily they got thru Beck unscathed but took Walker now Miller to get out of it..
if we get out of it …
whew!
Always dicey bringing in Rogers with RISP, but he got the K.
Exactly. With his penchant for getting grounders, that was very risky, but he got it done. No way that would happen if the oppo were a NL West team that sees him a lot…
An insurance run or two sure would be nice.
Schmitt needs to launch one…
Pfffffft K. Seriously, Schmitt almost always disappoints. The kid has some talent, but it just rarely comes together.
Bivens in now, 8th inning with a slim lead? Huh?
Kruk on Schmitt remember when he first came up he was chasing everything, not anymore, did I miss something Mike he just chased up and away to K..
For the second time I’ve seen this game.
Doval up. Good move. giants pen guys keep putting guys on base with 2 run lead.
Everybody ready for some TORTURE?
Here we go … wheeee!!!!!!
Why can’t the Giants challenge the hit batter call? It was a foul off the bat. That’s crazy ////
Why didn’t the Giants challenge that HBP it clearly hit the knob on Lopez?
Miller/Flemm seemed to indicate a hit batter call is NOT reviewable. Huh?
3 outs to go .. hope Doval can er done. As usual we’ll probably just roll over in the 9th so Doval’s gotta step up
the more I see if Fitz the more I like him. Seems very focused player.
Yeah the more I see Fitzgerald like I’ve said before he should be batting 2nd after Lee and Yaz near the bottom..
Well nice job by Doval to get out of it,as the mystery of his Mom section approved I guess?Kinda weak they can’t figure out who she is?Especially he first time to ever see him pitch?
Another base running error. Fitz steals 2nd, throw goes through to center, and he’s clueless. Aren’t they taught to immediately look at the 3rd base coach to see if they should get up and run to third due to just that scenario?
And both times that he went, Yaz struck out. Maybe go when there aren’t two strikes.
2 for 12 now with RISP. Pathetic again.
All up to Doval to put this on ice…
Ballgame!
Yay! Damn, though, pitching’s gotta be near-perfect to get a win.
Hey can’t lose when Momma Rosa Doval is in the stands! Ugly as always but a smiling Rosa is a great thing! Doval continues to dominate even the club’s offense remains stagnant in the clutch! Win baby wheee!!!
Wow, Doval comes through. Nice, with a touch of doubt.
When Doval has stuff like that, what’s between his ears is the only thing that can stop him. He didn’t let the walk get to him, unlike last year. Still, IDK why he jacks around with the slider and cutter when he’s flinging a 100 mph two-seamer that moves…
”Nice, with a touch of doubt.” That’s is about as succinct a description as is possible.
Took 7 pitchers but Doval finished them off. 4 out save in 18 pitches.
well, a win, is win, is a win, and we’ll take it but … damn, as everyone is pointing out, not an inspiring win.
About the only way the Gs can win right now is have the staff spin a shutout, and that’s just what it did tonight.
A win is a win, but this one doesn’t stop the huge concern about a stubbornly flaccid offense…
absolutely brother, nothing solved at this point with our offensive offense.
I’m looking forward to seeing Buster/Minasian’s first trade. I just hope they don’t wait until the July deadline……….
Posey called Bailey “instrumental part of our success.” Had great game today–2 hits including double, picked runner off 1b, caught 7 different guys on mound that combined for shutout. giants didn’t do much but they were better than other guys-all that matters.
Giants are 2nd NL for fewest runs allowed per game and have 2nd lowest ERA at 3.22. If he hits fine, but if not there are 8 other guys in lineup to pick up for him. Good to see Chapman get going today making some loud contact.
Beauty of baseball–unlike basketball where your best scorers can take 30 shots a game, each guy in the order only bats once through. Ohtani leads off then has to watch 8 other guys hit before he gets another shot.
Yes, and in baseball, your best hitters should get as many ABs as possible, meaning… put the best ones at the top of the order. Really don’t get some of Bobo’s lineups…
