Dr. Jeckyll, Meet Mr. Hyde

Consistently inconsistent really seems to be the MO of this team. Not sure what they can do about it but here we are struggling to crawl to .500 while beating great teams and tripping over our dicks on those same teams. Having a blast so far. Made it to Tofino after being everywhere in these last 5 days.

    Yikes, Ray was gonna be a major trade chip. Still might but last night was pretty ugly right from start. Said in Chron maybe AZ were onto his pitches (tipping somehow) and he felt fine going in. Once again bottom of order guys do the Giants in.

    One injury to Ramos, likeable but barely above average OF they’ve got on the cheap, and Giants have Schmitt playing LF (then SS) and their bench is Gilbert Brennan and 2 Cs. AZ pitching is eminently beatable; hopefully bats show up tonight.

    yeah, in the middle of Ray getting hammered last night, Flemm was musing that he was tipping pitches. Thats the usual MO of Giants announcers when a starter is getting smoked. Ray is a long time vet and Cy winner, all of a sudden he’s tipping? How about the Dbacks game plan was to jump him early in the count, he didn’t andjuat, and he was throwing hit me pitches all night to a team that’s been hot lately. Thats more likely explanation.

    Let’s see Bryce Eldridge gets 2 hits last night so of course you’re back on the bench! He should be playing and especially against right hand pitchers !So sick of how they continue to screw him over..

    Adames thumb ( besides up his ass) got banged up last night, but now of course Schmitt DH’s-instead of SS (cause V has to continue stroked his ego)so Eldridge can’t DH!! Does anyone care anymore how to run this team?

    Now Lee’s out for awhile ( back spasms) Ramos DL, the outfielders consist of Bader ( btw leading off now lol)Gilbert&Brennan killer row indeed

    Knicks-Cavs should be good series. Apparently last time Knicks made NBA Finals was 1999, losing to Duncan/Admiral/Sean Elliot/Mario Elie/Avery Johnson in 5. Kerr was reserve on that team, played 44 minutes total in Finals.

    On the PG the other night, Aurelia and Kontos agreed that Trevor with his options will eventually be sent down, the victim of a “numbers game”…

  7. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Which is BS Loo about the numbers game.Yeah both Mahle&Houser have 5 years experience each and both are either would have to clear waivers first and the Giants won’t eat their contracts.So yeah one of their best pitchers has to eat crow?Its only going to get worse..

    Giving the 1st year manager a lot of rope as it takes time for him to learn the players, etc. and develop his own mental list of “his guys” (Schmitt comes to mind, loads of playing time now and he’s producing). But not sure who exactly is making most of the “who will play where and when” decisions… Buster? Minasian, the silent GM? Agree that the OF situation, which was supposedly fixed in the off season, looks very weak with Gilbert getting a lot of starts, and I still don’t even know who Brennan is. And Trevor is 10x better than Hauser and Mahle; if you’re going to jettison anybody, it shouldn’t be Trevor back to Sacto, it should be Mahle given a bus ticket home. And yeah, Eldridge needs reps to progress. We keep saying the players all need to perform better, but management needs to start making better decisions too, or they’re never crawling out of this early season hole.

  9. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    And now back to back HR’s Devers&Adames Chapman a single and Susac smokes a double to make it 3-1 this team nobody can figure out?

  10. djloo27's avatar djloo27 says:

    Devers shot measured 458…

  11. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Royalty up in those box seats (Buster and Brandon).

    Congrats Adames for the bomb, but pleaseeeee act like you’ve been there before. Conversely, Susac, a rookie, gets a double to knock in Chappie and he doesn’t “emote” at all . . . He’s all business.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

      Adames is a friggin’ clown.

      It would be tolerable if he were a serious star player. He’s not…

      • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

        Exactly. The real stars would conduct themselves with a lot of modesty. Adames acts clueless, e.g., thinks his shit never stinks. Worst type of team mate imo.

        That being said, I could be all wet. I don’t understand today’s generation by a long shot (Gen X?). I am clueless about what these folks like/dislike, prioritize, minimize, etc. Sort of like aliens to me. I do know they HATE Boomers.

  12. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Devers beginning to rake. Nice!

  13. willedav's avatar willedav says:

    Interesting what Kruk said about Posey/Crawford connection, mentioning 3 n 5 years 2010-14.
    Far as I can tell, of position players only Posey and Sandoval were there for all 3.
    Pitchers: Cain Lincecum Javy Affeldt Bum Romo Casilla.

  14. willedav's avatar willedav says:

    whoa the 3-6-1? wow

  15. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Amazing Winning play by Winn Arreaz,Adames for a baseloaded get out the jam DP as Winn kept hustling (uhh take notes Brubaker) that was special!

  16. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    2nd base no outs and 3 straight strikeouts yep that’s the ugly Giants

  17. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Death wish — walk the bases loaded ahead of Arenado…

  18. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Whoa, Giants whistling past the graveyard there, and escaped with 3-1 lead intact…

  19. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Arenado is historically a “Giants Killer.” Nope, not that time. Snakes 2nd consecutive inning bases loaded double play. Sheesh, seems like they’ve appropriated the Giants last 2 months MO.

  20. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Adames got on 2nd base in the 8th with no out. Stranded there with 3 straight Ks by Chapman, Gilbert and Susac. Giants season in a nutshell…

  21. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Giants Pen is continually into torture. The 1-2-3 Pen inning apparently isn’t in the Giants planning…

  22. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Now catcher’s interference? Giants appear to be ready to give this away. Come on, just one more out !

  23. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Fucking easiest challenge ever.

  26. willedav's avatar willedav says:

    Dang. Should have never come to that.

  27. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    And their your SF Giants in a nutshell.Blow extra opportunities to add on and in the end Ballgame Walkoff HR!! I’m still sticking with Killian no matter what but not V..

  28. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    There it is. No surprise whatever.

    That is what a crap team does. When it does play well enough to win, they can’t close the deal to win.

    In addition to the myriad other problems, this Pen is inexperienced, not confident, not trustworthy. Now NINE under .500. Seriously, Buster better be sketching out and searching out trades. This season should be used to experiment with top minor leaguers. It’s already done for any chance at post season…

  30. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Snarkk’s 9:08pm can’t be emphasized enough . . . You get a situation where Adames walks in the top of the 8th; gets to 2nd on a wild pitch by Ginkel . . . and, what happens?

    Chapman stikes out swinging; Gilbert strikes out swinging; and, Susac strikes out looking.

    Yep, “Giants season in a nutshell.” Pfffttt!
