A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Let Down By Our Best

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on September 15, 2025

I’m trying to remember a time when we had Timmy and Cain lined up for 2 critical games. Or Bumgarner and Voggy. Or even Schmidt and Woody. And they came up ANT FUCKING SMALL.

Anyway, I can’t remember that ever happening. I guess I’ll have this past weekend as a reference point for that going forward…..

    Or if one of them got in trouble, Giants could call on Affeldt Romo Lopez Casilla…

    Good for Eldridge, hope he starts tonight and jacks one into the pool. AZ good place to hit, let it fly.

    Yeah Willie, I hope Gallen tries to sneak a fastball by Eldridge.

    Don’t know what’s up with Ray and Webb, but old man Verlander sure looked like he’s in playoff mode.

    Ya buy your ticket, and ya take the ride.

      Hunter Thompson?

      • Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 15, 2025 at 1:03 pm

        Yep, sorta. “No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride…”

    Yeah, pretty disappointing to see our studs flail like that.

    Melvin bears some blame as Webbie was struggling wildly and BoMart left him to take the loss. He was at 90 pitches to start the 5th and he shoulda pulled hi after the 1st walk at least.

    preview:

    “overall in the PCL, he has had a high 51% whiff rate on breaking balls and changeups”

      Well, most of the Giants have trouble hitting fastballs, so he’ll bring a different whiff profile…

    • James's avatar James said, on September 15, 2025 at 1:28 pm

      If he simply refuses to swing at anything unless he’s 100% certain that he’s identified Loco’s fastball, he can get his MLB whiff rate off to an excellent start.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on September 15, 2025 at 1:42 pm

        yeah just lay off the slider. No sweat.

      • James's avatar James said, on September 15, 2025 at 1:58 pm

        I suspect he’d abandon any quest for absolute certainty right off. Called strike 3 is almost as great a sin as being picked off or missing the cutoff man.

    Lee leading off, Eldridge 5 hole DH, Ramos 6th

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 4:31 pm

      Very cool Mr. BB. Let’s hope for some Bright Moments from debut Mr. Bryce.

  8. snarkk's avatar snarkk said, on September 15, 2025 at 3:51 pm

    Wisely DFA’d to make 40-man room.

    The fan base is devastated…

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 4:26 pm

      Matos was guy sent down, McCray staying up. That throw might have made difference.

  9. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 4:50 pm

    DBax right with Giants. they win this series and they have tiebreaker edge (series was split 3-3 so go to interdivisional records) over Mets.

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 5:10 pm

      AZ is only half game back of Giants right now at 75-75.

  10. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on September 15, 2025 at 5:23 pm

    Wu-Tang man pitching tonight

    Can’t afford to spot them runs.

  13. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    He is a big dude.

  14. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:14 pm

    Kuiper called that one.

  15. xoot's avatar xoot said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:14 pm

    well we won’t get no hit. Nice swing Schmitt!

  16. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:14 pm

    Schmitty!

  17. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:14 pm

    Schmitt goes deep.

    I like Ting. Crazy movement on his pitches. A little more contol and he could be really good!

    • willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:59 pm

      He was great tonight after rough start, good for him.

  19. willedav's avatar willedav said, on September 15, 2025 at 7:55 pm

    Steven Okert got W for Stros tonight. Faced 4 guys/K’d 3. who thought he’d still be in ML?

  20. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on September 15, 2025 at 8:22 pm

    Oh fuck

  21. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on September 15, 2025 at 8:26 pm

    And a good night to all.

  22. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck said, on September 15, 2025 at 8:30 pm

    Oh well

  23. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on September 15, 2025 at 8:32 pm

    Not the first Lucchesi to get whacked…

  24. djloo27's avatar djloo27 said, on September 15, 2025 at 11:21 pm

    I guess when your team sells at the deadline, any excitement you might get afterwards is an unexpected bonus…
