I know this is a Niners blog but holy fuck. Instead of being 15-16, the Giants fell to 13-18 by gagging away 2 games in Philly yesterday. Ryan Walker blew the 1st game by giving up 2 in the 9th and one of our no-name relievers gave away the 2nd one. I need to see how they fucked that one up as I was out to dinner, but it sounded bad as we had a shot to go ahead and Windy Hoo was held up from scoring, and we gave up the winner in the 10th.
This Giants team is hard to watch as of now as they either can’t hit or can’t pitch. There is no consistency and we’ve all said all a long they didn’t do enough with the pitching.
This is on Buster for not pushing hard enough on Greggie to get more immediate help. The farm certainly looks like there is no immediate help there either.
Yes, you build from the farm up, but you can do more than Mahler and fucking Doogie to help the rotation. And Bofucki in the pen has run his course.
I believe that the Giants FO is just like a lot of sports FO are where Greed is the motivation and winning is secondary. And it does start at the top and sadly trickles down. Just like a lot of people here have said that quite a few of the players we let go start to shine with their new teams. I have noticed that also, kinda tells me there is an organizational negative attitude. It can’t be that it’s the stadium since other teams seem to do well there. We just don’t draft well anymore. During the Stoneham years we used to draft so many good hitters that we had to trade em to make room on the roster. Anyway just my 2cents.
And I know Stoneham was in financial trouble and I am sure a lot of those trades were made to bring in some cash…but i’m just sayin.
We draft like a turd bomb sundae.
San Francisco 49ers Forever Flap.
Chuck you’re on to something, engagement is equal to if not more than 49ers.
Hah! Well, the draft is over, OTAs and camp are months away, and football is in hibernation right now, so what the hell?
But this team is sucking balls despite actually hitting pretty fucking well overall.
11th in all of baseball BA-wise
sure doesn’t seem like it. It must be because when we tear it up we end up with 12-14 hits and then go on a dry spell for a few days.
They need to walk too. Last in the league (not NL, but MLB) in walks, led by Devers, who is the worst in MLB taking a walk.
Derby seems wide open. Ortiz bros have been dominating at Churchill. Velasquez has good mount, Prat, even ancient one Mike smith plus few California trainers involved See what happens
Wow Cherie Devaux first woman trainer to win it. Ortiz bros 1-2 just like Race 11. Jose won 5 races yesterday at churchill. Great longshot winner.
As interview gal said, Jose won Kentucky Oaks feature yesterday and it’s never happened same jock won that one and Derby in all 152 year history of race.
Willie you mis-heard. Been done a bunch of times as recently as 2024…
The Oaks-Derby jockey double I’m referring to…
Thanks Loo.
Kentucky Derby 🐎 time!So since I can’t take the Giants 3B coach “Stop Sign” who scratched like Hector’s coaching, I’m Going with “Emerging Market” 1st 🥇 Further Ado🥈Renegade 🥉🐎🐎🐎Enjoy your Mint Juliep with Woodford Bourbon 🥃
Chappie swings at a pitch a foot out of the zone. And we run Bailey.
Hit and run but Jesus.
And none of the 4 umps see Raoms’s ball hit the railing. Roupp gonna get fucked.
Most impressive finish how far back Golden Tempo was in the stretch turning on horse burners to run down his brother .And congrats to a female trainer winning in a male dominant sport!
Agreed. Jockey who finished 3rd on 70-1 longshot, Tyler Gaffalione, was previously scheduled to ride another horse that got scratched and he only picked up mount yesterday. Nice payoff of $36 to show.
I tell ya, I remember the 2007 team was hitting like .275 collectively but couldn’t drive in runs to save their lives. The Freddie Electric / Ray Ray years.
This game feels like it is 3 hours old.
Chapman a K machine. Four more years of paying him for this shit.
Cat walk Homer for Ramos Denied even in NY 0-5 road trip with one more loss to go and out scored 24-8! No power, no speed, no walks, no steals,DP machines,RISP forget it,watch ability worse in baseball..😩
Hate to say it but we are the Pittsburgh Pirates. We are a bottom line team now.
The pretenders
Things just are not going well with the Giants. I honestly thought we would be competitive this year but to do that you have to score some runs and close out games. I feel bad for the whole organization this is not Giants baseball. I don’t really blame Posey or V for this it is just weak baseball.
fucking phenomenal band live.
Yeah, saw them in ’81 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston; Alan Vega opened with his silly rockabilly music and was mercilessly booed off the stage, dropping his drawers as he left to moon the crowd. Never seen so many things thrown at a performer before. Pretenders came on and the crowd settled in nicely to a tremendous show.
English Beat opened for them when I saw them at the greek. One of my fave shows ever. That was Friday.
I got free 4th row tickets at Perkins Palace in Pasadena to see the Pretenders. I had no interest in that band, but I wasn’t doing anything else, so I went. It turned out to be a great show. One of the better ones I’ve seen. I became a Chrissy Hines fan.
Watching the Giants . . .
Awesome.
nailed it
Yeah she is a special talent and the whole band is good.
