Slater - cf
Belt - 1b

Flores - 2b
Gonzalez - rf
Villar - 3b
Bart - c
Wade - lf
Machado - ss
Wood - sp

Giants taking on our old pal Tyler Anderson, who, of course, is having a banner year for him with the Dodgers (where was this production 2 years ago!?!). Belt is 2 for 16 and Slater is 1 for 13 against him. Flores. fortunately, is 5 for 13.

He actually did quite good for us. Granted, not THIS good, but good enough that I was mildly disappointed we moved on from him.

Good thing we didn’t sell. This team has “deep playoff run” written all over it.

Left in the third. Moundshattery plus mittfuckery = go home.

I can’t blame you this year. This team doesn’t deserve eyes. I turned it off after they started adding runs in the 3rd.

 

[calsnowskier]

If this team weren’t so piss painful to watch, more would be able to see when they actually do play well. I missed that inning, and I am OK with that. They already played like shit and lost me legit.

Bases loaded, no outs, and the Giants score, (drum roll please), let's see, it is here somewhere, ah, there it is, NO RUNS.

 

[Stokes1931]

Of course, what the Giants really needed was bullpen help, of which FZ got NONE. So a 6-5 game turns into a 9-5 game (or worse) in the 8th because none of the Giants' pitchers can get anyone out. After two out, triple, double, triple, double. Nice job, fellas.

 

[LHG]

This Alex Young fella seems like a nice acquistion.

He seems to fit right in. Wonder if he plays second base, too.

Maybe we'll see more of those hybrids (pitcher-middle infielder) next year.

Great, now FZ has a new pet project for his churn.

 

[LHG]

I wonder how likely Wade gets jettisoned this offseason. In fact, I wonder how many guys currently on the 40 man roster are still on it come December 1st.

 

[LHG]

This team flat out stinks.

 

[calsnowskier]

This team flat out stinks.

I would be OK with “stink” if I felt ANY of these players had a future with the club. But the churn makes it impossible. All we are watching is laundry playing badly. If we were watching VR, Ramos, and Wilson playing badly, we would be more forgiving while we watch. I just don’t give a shit about this team. Why should I?

We're not the worst team in the MLB, but we're trying.
