Tough Start
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.
fire Vitello!!!
whew!
It’s a lead!
fucking Adames with the worst challenge of the season so far.
And after he’d just seen two pitches in basically the same area. He was embarrassed and impulsively signaled for the challenge.
the other two pitches were closer to the bottom of the zone, too. V has to stop that.
2 runs!
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…
The bullpen hasn’t been terrible yet.
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..
YES! Even the awful Walker couldn’t completely eff this up.
Homer Walker, our closer. But a win is a win!
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.
Great album.
Is the Flap back?? Up late. back issue flared up my insomnia. Not sure why i clicked on the flap? But i did and i’m happy:) Nice win tonight!
