A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Tough Start

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on March 30, 2026

A day to clear our heads from that disastrous opening week. Now we head to San Diego were we have played pretty dreadful the last few seasons. This has gotten ugly, early. But hey, at least we score 1 run on Saturday. That’s one in the bank, baby. Woo hoo!!!!!

    The difference between the Yankmees and the Giants K count this past series is that even though NY had slightly more Ks, they hit home runs, which the Giants did not. That’s critical in this day and age of MLB. You can have tons of Ks and the resulting low OBPs and BAs, as long as the sluggers hit quite a few out in between the Ks. The Giants better get their homer machine going this season if they’re not going to improve their contact hitting over last season…

      Absolutely. Although a low OBP will put a dent in the run production. The Yankees will not have a low OBP, even though they’ll be whiffing a ton.

    There’s Dom and there’s Joey:

    ”The San Francisco Giants, who designated him for assignment in January, had 13 hits over their first three games. Wiemer has eight.”

      puzzling dfa, given how well he played for the Giants during those three weeks in December.

        Ha, when you’re down, may as well pile on.

    whew!

    It’s a lead!

  7. xoot's avatar xoot said, on March 30, 2026 at 7:14 pm

    fucking Adames with the worst challenge of the season so far.

    • James's avatar James said, on March 30, 2026 at 7:21 pm

      And after he’d just seen two pitches in basically the same area. He was embarrassed and impulsively signaled for the challenge.

      • xoot's avatar xoot said, on March 30, 2026 at 7:28 pm

        the other two pitches were closer to the bottom of the zone, too. V has to stop that.

  8. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on March 30, 2026 at 7:31 pm

    2 runs!

  9. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on March 30, 2026 at 7:33 pm

    3!

    Not sure why Roupp is considered the 4th best pitcher he’s better then Mahle&Houser for sure..

    We’re so back!

    The fan in the LF seats has reflexes like a corpse…

  13. James's avatar James said, on March 30, 2026 at 8:21 pm

    The bullpen hasn’t been terrible yet.

  14. James's avatar James said, on March 30, 2026 at 8:34 pm

    Arráez is going to set a Giants record for grounding out on ball 4.

    It’s weird that the announcers aren’t supposed to be privy to the ABS pitch locations.

    If Winn starts getting lit up at any point, you know his arm is fucked up again. Maybe one inning stints will keep him healthy.

    Geez that Jack in the Box Hot Mess meal looks like a Hot Mess on the toilet all night..

  17. Macdog's avatar Macdog said, on March 30, 2026 at 9:01 pm

    YES! Even the awful Walker couldn’t completely eff this up.

    Homer Walker, our closer. But a win is a win!

  20. Locojuan's avatar Locojuan said, on March 30, 2026 at 9:02 pm

    Walker made that one tough. Roupp threw a good game.

    Got 1 in the W column.

    Give ’em enough Roupe — solid start by Landen gets us off the schneid.
