99 Losses or Bust
We seem to be in the holding pattern of 1 win, 2 losses as this bland flavorless season continues it’s slow march to oblivion.
Looks like the 1985 team of Jimmy Davenport is safe in the knowledge that they will continue to be the one and only 100 loss team in the 144 year history of the NY/SF Gothams/Giants.
I mean, 5 more wins out of 21 games shouldn’t be that hard. Right?
V dropping Adames gently down in the LU? Kid gloves. But we all know how emotional Willy is.
Adames at 6 is the most charitable position he should get. Chapman is hot and is a faster runner, he should be ahead of the Gatorade Guy.
Maybe putting Adames at 7 for any length of time is too embarrassing for the team at his pay grade. I wouldn’t care if he’s embarrassed, he should be for his performance so far this season. What kind of a team “leader” is this guy — what is he doing to “lead” this sad sack team? To me, Eldridge is a team leader — taking walks, making great ABs that pressure the pitcher, and coming through in the clutch.
MLB LU didn’t have a LU up when I posted it was the famous TBD, I was going off of Rotowire LU and another one with the same dreadful LU..
If MLB LU is true, so be it , it still stinks when you don’t have Lee 18 game hitting streak and Arreaz 11 game hitting streak, the table setters1-2!!
Eldridge hitting 2nd makes no sense but neither does Vitello! Adames should be hitting 7th actually 8th with Susac moving up a spot but that will never happen getting his butt cheeks scoured!And I agree with Snarkk I’m batting Cox 9th over V’s boy Gilbert
not exactly in depth reporting but…

Bochy and Baker would’ve knocked it out better in ten minutes.
Not sure if Eldridge at 2 is the answer but getting KArames out of the 4 spot is essential.
Lots of empty seats.
Esp for a Cubs game on a Friday night.
Guess they found Adames is back in the LU..
One gamer babe( cute too) fan who’s always there is Sparkling Hat (Orange SF tonight but other colors as well, she makes the hats herself, and always wears sunglasses 🕶️ too) directly behind home plate, second row and she also does the box score as well mostly..
Susac seems to have a clue about ABS. THat’s 2
Schmitt in LF is still pretty frightening.
Unc, Willie McCovey batted #2 in the line up exactly 5 times in his 22 year career. All in 1964 (April 28-May2) over a single 5 game stretch when Dark was the manager.
During that particular road trip, Dark was shuffling the lineup to jumpstart the offense. He experimented by batting McCovey second, directly ahead of Willie Mays (#3) and Orlando Cepeda (#4). While it sounds like a terrifying top of the order for opposing pitchers, the experiment was short-lived. After the May 2nd game against the Pirates, McCovey was moved back down into the cleanup spot, and he never hit second in a starting lineup again.
I don’t agrtee with Ellie batting 2 but I’m happy Adames is finally out of the 4 hole.
Arraez and Lee should be at the top of the order. It ain’t rocket surgery.
Cubs owe Swanson 3 more years total of $81 million. High WAR guy noted for D, and he did hit 24 HRs last year but off to rough start this season .178/.284/.318
3 for 3!!!
I guess it’s mandatory for every Giants pitcher to throw 10 pitches to every hitter they face.
Oh boy. Roupp getting wild. Again.
Another Giants catcher who can’t catch a relay throw.
Susac blew that play. Good eye, though.
Roupp is kinda wearing on me with his nibble nibble nibble approach.
I think every walk this pitching staff has given up has scored.
Roupp at 90 after 4. Can anyone besides Webb go more than 5?
88 pitches in 4 innings,Roupp won’t last much longer before the stellar BP comes in.
So fucking frustrating – DEVERS!!!!!!
The runner at 3rd one out blues.
I guess protecting the plate isn’t a thing anymore.
Horseshit Vitello lineups is more than half the problem.
Funny watching Schnmitt breaking back on that popup.
