3rd and Gone

The Jauan Jennings era is done. The almost-MVP (fuuuuuuck!!!) of Super Bowl 58 way back in 2024 signed with the Vikings for 1 year/$13 mill. Solid guy who was tenacious after the catch and a beast blocking. The seemingly studly WR group of BA, JJ, and Deebo is all gone. Replaced by Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Ricky Pearsall, and De’Zhaun Stribling. Seeing that Brocky Purdy has thrown to only one of these guys might be a challenge, but hey that’s what camp is for.

Not quite sure what is going on with the WRs on this team, but that number is fairly small and I wonder if we even tried to keep him. Dude always came through in the clutch and was there for a lot of big plays. Up to and including a TD pass in the Super Bowl. What’s the deal?

I tell ya, of all the coaches on the team, I’ve never heard the name Leonard Hankerson ever come up. Yes, he’s the WR coach/passing game coordinator. Never heard of him as a player either. He was a WR for the Redskins, Falcons, Pats, and Bills for 5 years. If he was the problem, you’d think something would have come out. Weird. Don’t know.

And hey! The Giants got their weekly victory!

    Borucki & Walker, what could possibly go wrong?

  2. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Borucki is sucki. Repetitive, but true.

    Walker, just is… I asked for him to be DFA’d or put on the IL after the last debacle. After this one, what more can I say? He’s horrific, has no clue where he’s throwing the ball. He has to be mentally fried.

    K, Walk, wild pitch, single with runner scoring, hitter moves to 2nd on lousy throw in, single with runner scoring after horrible throw from outfield and the hitter moves to second, then Walker taken out after probably losing the game for the team. Again. Oh, and the Bucs have about twice as many walks as the Giants so far this season. That is crazy.

    Wash, rinse, pitch and play like crap, lose, repeat…

      Seriously, is there nobody down in Sac that can take Walker’s place and do better than this S? What do we have down there, a bunch of sore arms?

  3. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Another sign of a stupid, dumbass team is when Roupp had that really taxing, long-ass 20+ pitch second to last inning of his stint tonight — after he closed it out the Giants hitters followed by a speedy, brainless 3 and out, in a total of 8 pitches — going down super quickly in order like they were late for a hooker appointment. Nobody took a couple of pitches to give Roupp a rest. IDK if Vitello told anybody to take a pitch or two or call the one time out allowed per AB, or what. Just do anything to give Roupp more of a breather Inexcusable IMO and just another unmistakable sign of a bad team that from soup to nuts doesn’t play the game properly …

    OMG, Ramos again.

    Can anybody here play this game ? …

    Paul, be thankful you’re on some beach in Vietnam, with a mai tai or some other tropical drink.

  6. Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

    I hadn’t really formed any opinions yet on Vitello, giving him time to see what he can do, but continuing to bring in Borucki and Walker is just too stoopid to be believable….

  7. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Now, I know why Santos was looking to the sky, praying, when he came in to pitch from the bullpen . . . lqtm

  8. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    It’s contagious!!!!!!!! Santos has the yips now too.

  9. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    This is so, so bad it’s comical. Except if you are there and paid hundreds of dollars to watch this absolute debacle…

  10. Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

    Sorry, in addition to Borucki and Walker, I forgot Brubaker. Oh, sure, add Santos to the list. My goodness….

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

      Don’t believe anything you see on Gamecast Paul. For example, Santos was gifted a single by the official scorer on what clearly was a fielding error.

  11. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Easily a nominee for worst defensive inning in the history of SF Giants baseball…

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

      Yeah, in the comfort of my home, this is a funny game. If I was paying for this shit at the ball park, I would be pissed (particularly, if it was a cold evening).

  12. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Seriously the Holokoss throws softer then me fast pitching are slow softball! It really is a disgrace for MLB to allow teams to do it!

  13. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    13-1??? Wow. Like I said one win a week.

    • Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

      And the “1” is the Eldridge HR. What the hell are all the other *hitters* doing?…. again, my goodness….

  14. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    So Koss was throwing softer hard at 48 mph the Pirates decided to hit him in the head? Geez that was weak and scary..

  15. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Biggest hi-light was Eldridge getting off the schneid with his first bomb in the show. Hopefully, he continues to rake, where he replaces someone in the LU quickly.

  16. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Giants “rallied” to make it a more “respectable” 13-3 rout.

    Seriously, this was a massive embarrassment in a season so far that has been full of them. When your team is mostly boring-ass bad, then occasionally comically bad like this turd of a game, it’s time for a rebuild. I doubt a rebuild could be worse than this season so far…

  17. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Had to watch the 7th inning. It didn’t disappoint.

    Bryan Reynolds – 4 HRs 23 RBIs.

    Oh, that Cutch trade.

    Losing is contagious and I don’t want to see Roupp get burned out. He is a true bright spot. In all sports there is a time you have to just cut bait and I believe we are at that point now. Everyone in the decision making process is to blame. By continually letting these jackwads come into pitch doesn’t make sense. My guess is V is thinking they can fight through their problems, but they obviously can’t. I believe it’s time for a complete overhaul.
