Opening Day!

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on March 25, 2026

Honestly I can’t figure out when the Flap is shutting down, lol. Whatever, I’ll keep a thread going until it goes bye bye. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I hope you all have Netflix…..

Yay. Play ball.
Flavor said, on March 25, 2026 at 7:28 am

very cool that we get the first game of the season and it’s vs the Yanks.
xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 8:03 am

Adios, Matos; hola, Oliva.

  Good riddance. Matos had a gazillion chances.

    some interesting stories on Twitter etc last night about how the Zaidi Kapler regime re-engineered his swing for “power.”
  - blade3colorado said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:56 pm
    
    Hmm. In fairness to Matos, yeah, I could see how that would mess him up.

Surely there are some Johnnnies on the team.

Haven’t heard a peep about the (lack of a) run game. Are we gonna still be the slowest team in the game?
unca_chuck said, on March 25, 2026 at 11:21 am

No waivers, no Matos . . . and no Johnnies on the team. 😦
Flavor said, on March 25, 2026 at 1:49 pm

Honestly not really sweatin’ Matos. I’d rather take a flier on Encarnacion finding some later-career power numbers. Personally would rather have both I guess but outside of a week or two when he was hot Matos has been pretty mid

Not too exciting on paper. Possibly the most no name PS I’ve ever seen. And not exactly a youth movement. Exactly one guy born this century. Devers is a full-time DH?

  i have zero faith in our BP and SP this year. Hope we score a ton of runs. We gonna need em
xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:20 pm

half of last years pen is in Sacramento. But no new closer. Buckle up.
Macdog said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:21 pm

When the hell does the game start?
James said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:22 pm

First ever opening day. Just had to be here for that historical ABS challenge.
- xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:25 pm
  
  my sons there. He didn’t like the anthem flyover etc.
- Macdog said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:33 pm
  
  You’re spared Pence working the game.
  - djloo27 said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:38 pm
    
    I still think the fact that our new hitting coach is supposedly named Hunter Mense is some sort of elaborate prank…
Macdog said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:43 pm

Didn’t take long for the first squandered RISP.
djloo27 said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:51 pm

0-1
Macdog said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:51 pm

Webb is so overrated.
alleykat69 said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:51 pm

Yeah I was thinking Keyser Soze prank Loo!

Didn’t take long for Webb to get lit up, wow 5-0 😩
Winder said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:52 pm

How quickly things can turn
xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 5:54 pm

Pretty good first inning. We’ll always have that.
blade3colorado said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:04 pm

Bailey in mid season form.
djloo27 said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:05 pm

Marichal in 10 opening day starts: 6-2/1.73/2 Shutouts

THE FLAP !!!

  Hey, you made it!
Dean said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:24 pm

Adames picking up where he left off in 2025…failing to deliver with runner on third and less than two out.
- James said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:48 pm
  
  Plus two shitty throws.
xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:31 pm

one wind blown sun blind bloop hit. One.
- djloo27 said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:34 pm
- xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:36 pm
  
  whoa! Another bloop.
Macdog said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:45 pm

What will end first in 2026, the Giants’ season or the Flap?
alleykat69 said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:46 pm

So Webb is only good pitching for Team USA?
Macdog said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:53 pm

As if this game can’t get any worse, now Manfred is in the booth.
blade3colorado said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:53 pm

Maybe next time, we’ll get the Rockies on opening day in 2051???
Charlie Strother said, on March 25, 2026 at 6:54 pm

There goes the undefeated season.
- Flavor said, on March 25, 2026 at 7:10 pm
  
  there goes yomama. What kind of loser makes up a fake Gmail account to post something so stupid and boring.
Flavor said, on March 25, 2026 at 7:08 pm

i had to turn the sound off on this game. The interviews are torture. It’s much better like this.
Dean said, on March 25, 2026 at 7:14 pm

Tony Vitello’s post game to do list tonight: checking Delta direct flights from SFO to Knoxville.
bassbaldy said, on March 25, 2026 at 7:58 pm

161 to go. We’ll get ‘em on Friday.
xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 8:06 pm

Giants had only three homegrown players in the game until Doval got the call.
unca_chuck said, on March 25, 2026 at 9:18 pm

And they still had only three homegrown players in the game.
xoot said, on March 25, 2026 at 9:22 pm

well if you’re gonna be literal, Webb was long gone.
James said, on March 25, 2026 at 10:48 pm

FWIW, Yankees had 3 homegrown players in the game. With Webb, SF had 4 (Schmitt, Ramos, Bailey). I wonder if it’s that unusual.
- xoot said, on March 26, 2026 at 7:38 am
  
  yeah, my attempt to convey the strange dismay I felt at seeing Doval take the mound didn’t work. Happens. But suddenly the difference between the Giants and the Yanks took on a new light. It’s not just salary. Etc.
Winder said, on March 26, 2026 at 5:51 am

That was a hard game to watch NY definitely had the ball bounce their way and Fried owned us. A reality check.
unca_chuck said, on March 26, 2026 at 7:32 am

The familiar shut-down-by-a-lefty curse raises its head.
