Squeaking Out A W
Anyone who doesn’t think Devers is a team-first guy can suck it. He has proven he can fit right in with the best of the worst hitters around….lqtm
But all that is going to change tonight. Electricity will be in the cool night air and I am expecting that my attendance at the game will nudge the collective offense in the right direction. Birdy will do his thing and Devey will slap an oppo taco right into my open, eager and waiting hands…..
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I wonder if there’ll be hostilities. When the Red Sox used to sell out the E Coli, things were mellow. At least at the one game I attended. The Bay Area Boston fans seemed genteel.
and enjoy!
Devers does have ring of his own from 2018. Once Sox broke 100 year curse (like Cubs) fans started to come out of woodwork and you’d seen more hats and gear locally. Passionate too in East Coast fashion.
Baggs: “Melvin hopes that Devers will be playable at 1b soon.” hmmnn
doubt it will be soon, certainly not vs his old team. Gotta get that bat going first.
Right. Wonder if Flores better vs. LH SP, used more off bench behind Dom vs. RHP.
Saw Boston in 2004 and spent the weekend in the city when we were living in Roseville.
Blown away by how many Red Sox fans were all over town that weekend. They were fine. G’s lost 2 of 3 iiirc.
Looked it up, Giants won 2 of 3, haha.
All I know is the game we saw they lost.
well that’s more like a sweep. .
Tyler Kepner in TA tracks “high quality start”: 7/2. Like what Webb did yesterday. Awesome!
Maybe Birds can get one tonight while Flav is in house.
Boston starting all right pitchers in series but I’m sure Flores will get a start at 1B in one them, his bat needs to get in more other than a PH appearance..
Should be a fun game to be at.
Birdland is due a good outing. He’s been kinda squirrely once he hits the 4th inning.
this from Slusser, plus wisely’s back in town for some reason. Be cool to see Will Clark hanging out at BP. Gates often open after the Giants are done though.

Huh, yeah just saw Verlander on paternity list and Wisely recalled.
Better than a paternity suit…
Flores 1b batting cleanup per MLB com lineup. Koss at 2b hitting 9th
Didn’t know Verlander was preggo.
Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitznowhere.
Big Flav, not going to use a glove to catch that dinger? I will be watching
Or another way, are you going to use a glove or go the Kevin Mitchell way and bare hand that bad boy
Wilmer does it again, haha.
Wilmer stealth ball.
Kuip on Mr Ed: He hits the invisible ball.
beautiful.
Another quick inning for Birds. Give em the heat
26 pitch inning for Birds. Missed location with fastball either too far off the plate or in middle of it.
BF might’ve just had a split second of hope there…
Sorry to interrupt the game, but if you’re not tired of analyzing the Devers trade from Boston’s situational perspective, this is not a bad read by Passan.

So much for the lead.
Hey, at least Koss gets the runner in from 3rd.
2B really is an issue.
Bus that brought Wisely here likely waiting to take Koss back.
Willie, that’s one of the funniest things you have ever said. Still laughing . . .
Back and forth battle Sox’s tie it up 4-4 Duran is a great looking player that dooso many things well..
Wow Koss just butchered the 3rd out for an easy error 5-4 Boston wtf?
So much for the lead.
Second base is a problem for this team…
Hayden not so Sterling lately…
O, ’tis true.
Great actor, but hated acting. War hero and sailor. Lived in Sausilito, where he died in ’86.
Nice camera work…
That’s on the director.
Jeez, what a dumb challenge.
Mr. Ed had to know he was out. He shouldn’t have let them challenge…
Wilmer is slow as cold molasses, what is he doing there risking it with one out? The base running insanity continues…
Maybe instead of working out Devers at 1B, they should try 2B……
Giants have regularly said 1b is not at all an easy position to play. But, they’re prepared now to put a guy there who has never ever played it — with only a few weeks of practice in between games. His bat better get really hot before he starts trying to pick real-game short hoppers from Adames…
,Wilmers bat isn’t cold as molasses like most Giant hitters..
Hjelle — wow, fooling nobody tonight…
Giants unusually scoring 5 so far, with a lot of help, so of course the pitching and defense are melting. This seems like a wacky game at Coors, only at sea level…
I guess we compare basketball ball players at 6’11 that are dumb as a fence post.But Hjelle has to top the list in baseball, watching him pitch is worst then root canal abstraction…
Erik Miller is the new Scott Eyre. Talk about a forgotten Giant…
Didn’t his arm blow up after lot of use?
Let’s send up the guy who has 2 RBI the last two months to pinch-hit.
instead of a bat, Fitz might as well swing a piano leg. Time for him to go down to Sac and figure out how to make contact again…
Give the Giants credit – unusually efficient 5 runs with measly 5 hits.
6 walks helps…
Yep
Reliever Luchessi the new Sam Selman lefty reject..
Actually thought Selman would turn out ok, then again I thought that about Jaylin Davis..
Somebody needs to get some hard contact. Stop the dribblers and pops. A beautiful 3-run Earl Weaver bomb would be nice…
I like inter-league play.
I’d way rather see (i) the Gs play the RSox and Yanks and Guardians 6 times a year than zero times, instead of (ii) see the Dbacks, Pads and Rockies a boring-ass 19X rather than a tolerable 13X …
I think it energizes the players, too. New cities, different parks and hotels and most importantly a whole new set of who-ers…
Agreed. I liked how the Guards played. couple hitters great pitching and D.
Given regular PT Schmitt has started to hit.
Worst thing the Giants offense can do is load the bases…
Futility is off the charts.
Sox keep trying to give this one away but Giants don’t want it.
Nasty pitch, but we oughtta know Yaz pretty well by now. A real box of chocolates…
Three 2nd baseman in a game. Might be a record or a tie?
And none of ’em any good.
Or even mediocre. lqtm
straight up the Yazoo.
A piss-poor game all around.
Did not see this loss happening. Fuck.
