For those who served and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, you are not forgotten. Strangely enough both my grandfather (born in 1900) and my father (born in 1925) didn’t make it out of training before the respective wars ended. Dear old dad was training to be a fighter pilot and got a little seat time in a P-51 when the war ended. Funny thing is, my oldest sister was born in 1950. She broke the streak by having her daughter in 1968.
Lots of chatter out there about 4th round OT pick Carver Willis being the guy who helps solidify this swiss cheese O line by winning the left guard spot. Let’s hope so. That still leaves the revolving door that is Jake Brendel, at center but one thing at a time. Someone may fall out of a troster somewhere hopefully.
As for the hapless Giants? Yesterday is kinda what we thought the team would be. Decent hitting with middling pitching. Instead we get 1-2 game sa week where everything lines up surrounded by 4-5 that don’t.
Not sure how we get out of this other than to hope all their slow starters wake up. There’s plenty of time to get things right, but with the pitching being so scattershot with the starters AND the pen, depending on this team to consistently hit its way to victory is proving to be too much.
Hope y’all have a nice long weekend, and gland to hear Paul is on the mend. We al seem to be about the age where maladies and medical procedures are the grist of the mill.
If anyone needs to pull his head out of his ass, it’s Chappie. Dude is utter death at the plate.
Well, Adames and his hit-and-miss defense is up there too.
At least Eldridge showed more patience than the chapman and susac at the plate.
Giants are only down by a grand slam.
Gilbert lol
. . . and Adames missing the easy “bounce” relay from Gilbert. HAHAHAHA!
Weeeeeeeeeee!
Outstanding D by Devers
Snakes 4 straight thus far in their series against the Giants. We just couldn’t get the key grand slam hit today.
Chappie in a hitter’s count (3-1) watches a fastball dow the middle to hit the slider for a DP at 3-2.
Willie, thanks for commenting about Adames (4:58pm). Did you ask Adames this or SD? I am curious how Adames replied (if the former). Don’t get me wrong, if after the game, you want to chit chat or go out to dinner with an old team mate from another MLB team, minor league team, college, etc., I completely understand that. However, between the lines – that doesn’t fly or at least didn’t use to fly with old school players like you mentioned, Robinson, Rose, Mays, etc. Respect yes, but otherwise, save that crap after the game.
Sheesh, I especially hope he doesn’t pull that shit when we play the Bums.
Ocrap Okert was part of a 3-pitcher no-no for the Astros.
Yeah, the happy crappy shit with these guys isn’t just Adames, and it sure ain’t old-school, but when you forget how many outs there are and continually fuck up in the field and on the bases, the silly shit really has to stop.
Flap Trivia:
What was the real name of Ocrap’s bullpen mate that we nicknamed “Oshit”?
LOL!!! I I thought about that before you asked the question.
Kevin Osich. I think.
How about this continuing stellar play by are Outfielders that’s 0-3 on should be caught by Rodriguez.Ah heck it’s Borsucki on mound so something bad every appearance anyway. But the Glory days of Mays,Bonds,Maddox,Matthews will never be replicated again..
