This Is Not Going Well

our only hope is the marlins go out and get fucked up tonight and are hung over for the day game.

well said. And what a *hope* that is, aye? Anyone else sick of Doval yet? Again, because he’s fucked up so many games in the past we don’t really have a lot of patience for this guy’s shit. He’s the Niner version of Jake Moody.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
using Chuck’s post in the main thread got me to thinking about the POTD’s I used to do. I stopped doing them because Twinfan sent me constant emails about how I was doing them wrong. LOL. Here’s an example. There are dozens of these.

cute- you make the potd the post agreeing with my comments. typical. my 9:38 and 10:39 were two of my best and you don’t even recognize them .
Priceless. Please keep em coming anytime you’re bored…
Here’s what he was talking about:

“two of my best.” Like the borscht belt joke about the guy marrying Mrs. Right and finding out her first name was “Always.”
I know it’s easy to hate on Williams right now, he’s been awful as a 3rd base coach lately. But if they Giants offense wasn’t such absolute shit he probably wouldn’t be sending some of these guys who are getting thrown out by a mile. Last night’s throw was awful and it was still enough to get Lee. Embarrassing. Like our offense.
Come on. Two things. Williams left Lee on third on a deeper ball that would have won the game a few days ago.
Yesterday, the LFer was in 25′ to cut off the lead run. Which they did. If Lee holds, we have a runner at 3rd with 1 out. Look at the play. Fucking Lee is 10′ past the bag when the LFer throws the ball.
Stupid stupid stupid. 2 games lost and I’d say 4 other times he cost us runs.
that guy sinceseventy8 was great. Forgot about him. Lotta Giants fans have come and gone here over the years.
these are so good.

Melvin and of course his no throwing of Windmill Matty in the Fargo Wood grinder for humans..The outfielder wasn’t very deep the usual BS it takes a perfect throw? Lee wasn’t even at 3rd yet as Blackhawk Sarge Helicopter 🚁 Tour sends another abortive player to his death..
Melvin as his usual protocol won’t throw a coach/ player under the bus, I get that to a degree but back to back nights and atleast 4-5 now in the last month?
Look we’re trying to win a game,Look we’re trying to win a game there,Look we’re trying to win a game there! Yes I get it BoMel since you don’t expect a hit in a clutch spot your sending them into Gladiator Arena to die with honor, His blank dumbfounded face is getting old postgame is so annoying now..
It’s like he’s been trying to make up for the egregious stop sign a few games back and now he just sends everyone…
Exactly. Lee is barely off 3rd when the LFer throws the ball. And he;s about 20′ from the IF dirt.
I make that fucking throw. At 64 with a bum shoulder.
Yeah, what happened to your site? The layout is all fucked up. Like your widgets are gone/different
In line with the thread, Matt Williams is Nick Sorensen.
And let’s not forget are washed up hitting coach Pat Burrell and his terrible job since last year, with a team that couldn’t hit then with him, what’s changed? If anything their even worse.I get the long ties especially Melvin with Williams,Posey with Burrell but they really need to consider cutting bait with both which for them would be hard to do.,Hallienberg also these clowns have made them the worst running team in baseball with all the screwups on the base paths..
Last night, on KNBR, everyone was screaming about Williams’ shitty job at 3rd. Then one caller pointed out the fact that a couple weeks ago everyone was screaming that Williams needed to be more aggressive and what we are seeing this past week or so, is Williams doing exactly that: being aggressive.
maybe williams forgot that there was only one out and that holding lee would’ve given them two more shots at a walkoff. Inexcusable for that reason alone. Lee who’s a smart deeply disciplined player must’ve been appalled at the go sign.
From the radio broadcast, the consensus I came away with last night was that BoMel sees Giants’ struggling offense needs base runners to be more aggressive and has instructed the coaches & players to do so. Thus, the results we have: failed attempted steals, and the obvious gaffs at home plate.
yep, you’re probably correct about the oversimplification. I’d didn’t see the game but read your post stating LFer positioning. I think you (or somebody) said Williams was looking in the wrong direction ffs!
Way oversimplified, baldy. The LFer was at LEAST 20′ in from his normal spot. Lee was 5′ off the bag when the LFer made the throw. It was a SHIT throw and they still got Lee.
If Lee stays at 3rd, there’s one out.
Fucking retarded play. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I responded to you but posted in wrong spot.
https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/giants-casey-schmitt-undergoing-ct-scan/
And yet the Giants still let Schmitt go out in the top of the 10th for defense with a jacked up wrist?Freaking Dumb as F***K when Wisely could of come in..
“this is the one you want to propel yourself momentumly”
krukow’s addled.
payback! But now the runners on third. Hmmm.
I suggested the other day that Birdsong at 94-96 is not the same pitcher we had high hopes for. That was one the longest bombs to left I’ve seen here.
birdshot guano game, yet the Giants are hitting.
I can’t believe it down 5-0 Devers long bomb for 2 runs,Adames knocks in Lee who tripled as he was thinking inside the Parker but thank the lord Williams did something right and he threw up the stop sign.Wisely! Off the bricks double knocked in 2 tie it up 5-5 on James Day getting firepower from both teams!
At least James is seeing some runs from the boys.
But really, don’t ever go back, James.
I guess hungover they can still kick our ass. Hello third place.
so far wisely and koss have both looked better than this year’s version of Fitzpatrick.
The usual fantasy from Fleming and Kruk
Well if Yaz can get on base they get the opportunity of having Devers come up as the potential tying run.Well Yaz strikes out inning over.They use those dumb what if situations way to much..
Glad you said it Kat. Fleming does this constantly. Drives me nuts…
If wishes were fishes we’d all fry for free.
Oh Hjelle No has to be the next guy under the fucking Sacto bus. Jesus. He’s a disaster.
And James obviously hasn’t left.
Giants are just a couple of grand slams from pulling this one out…
James should start getting greased up in the pen.
fucking love this tune!
I was rraised on 60s 70s funk. First show was Stevie Wonder.
East Bay Funk, Yes!! One of the great musics of our times
Lurch is the definition of batting practice pitcher my god, and the Giants say WTF keep getting pounded big guy no use wasting another arm..
Yeah Thanks Loo …Fleming has bugged me for so long with his anal analysis scenario that never pan out.
Well, the stellar pitching is hitting a bunch of speedbumps with Verlander and Birdland being the latest to be getting roughed up. The G’s are 3-6 in Birdie’s last 9 starts, and tit master has 0 wins in his time here.
Doval and Hjelle are firestarters, not firemen.
Beyond that, all we have proven is that any team can simply shut us down. Miami threw a 3-7 Quantrill at us, decent rook Cabrera, and good old Jason Junk and their ‘stellar’ pen to sweep us. At home no less.
3-6 against 3 sub-.500 teams is awful. Oh well.
When I get overly concerned they usually bounce back. When I get excited, they step in shit.
81 games in if you want to double any numbers…
Hard to believe the Giants had a chance to take the lead. I’m getting tired of seeing bunts with a runner on 2nd and no out, which is what Knizner did in the 4th. Junk gave up triple-single-double-double, swing the damn bat!
this is what I mean by fundamentally unsound. You dont bunt, for the e most part, before the 7th inning. Depending on score, spot in lineup, etc.
Like Marty having NO awareness where the LFer was yesterday or how many outs there were, or how he didn’t send Lee when the LGer was running sideways to catch the ball
fuck typing oin my phone
I thought that’s wahat was happening to you! Ha!
James earlier post is accurate–that was a tremendous HR by Marlins hitter off Birds. I was there sitting off 1b side w SanDog and friends. Giants got back to even but Marlins weren’t through hammering Giants pitching.
Wait, you and San Dawg were there today, too?
what was Flores episode about? No one where we were knew, just guys yelling at each other.
Nothing like a nasty 10-game road trip to try to wash that stink away. Yeah, Charlie, several times they’ve looked like they were about to sink in the west but picked it up and climbed back in. This road trip could very well define the team for the rest of the season. Buster needs to heed a line from Talking Heads: “I have adopted this and made it my own; cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong”….. There’s going to be some *tinkering* with the lineup while they’re gone.
Same as it ever was
Or that line, which is probably more likely….
