Flores - 3b
Pederson - dh
Estrada - 2b
Conforto - rf
Luciano - ss
Sabol - c
Fitzgerald - cf
Walker - op

No Matos and no Ramos. Like these slappies are going to do anything. And why isn't Walker shut down for the season? This past couple of weeks makes it obvious that he's been over used this season. At least Pederson is at the DH spot and not the outfield.

Pederson SHOULD be on the golf course. Dude is worthless. And he won’t be around next year, so who cares about getting him PT.

Dodgers have three hitters with 30+ HR
Dodgers have two hitters with 20+ HR
Dodgers have three hitters with 15+ HR

Giants have NO hitters with 30+ HR
Giants have one hitter with 20+ HR
Giants have five hitters with 15+ HR

Dodgers have two hitters with 100+ RBI
Dodgers have two hitters with 90+ RBI
Dodgers have one hitter with 70+ RBI
Dodgers have one hitter with 60+ RBI

Giants have NO hitters with 100+ HR

Wonder if/when the Giants will develop/steal/sign someone who can actually hit homers and drive in runs.

 

[Stokes1931]

Lance Lynn, he of the 6.00 ERA has held the Giants scoreless for four innings. About right.

At least we are young and athletic.

Anyone else looking forward to this season ending?

And just as I wrote that, LaMonte ties it up.

FZ really knows how to pick 'em. Conforto, a major signing, has exactly four (4) RBI's in the last month! I am sure that helped a great deal.

I was just thinking about how Kapler insists on putting Conforto in right field. The dude has never graded out as even average defensively. He has a -3.3 dWAR on his career by BBRef standards. It is -0.8 this year. Yastrzemski, meanwhile, has a 0.8 positive dWAR and is stuck in left field today. Maybe the two need to be flipped.

I don't care about matchups, is Haniger for Yaz really a good idea? I'd say no.

?? The season ended for me almost a week ago. That’s when my subscription to MLB AtBat expired.

I love baseball and I love the Giants, so it is very hard for me to want to disengage from the season and the team will play is still going on. So these final weeks feel like absolute torture, having no faith on how this team will perform. I feel like I'm counting down the days to the end of the season (it may not help that I'm about to hit the road this Thursday to visit more national parks).
Coincidently, I dread the post season when the Giants are NOT in the postseason but the Dodgers ARE. I feel such relief when the Dodgers get eliminated.

Another bases loaded situation for the Giants. Another 0 runs scored result.

 

[LHG]

C'mon, Estrada, make 'em pay!

 

[LHG]

Really, why no Ramos!?!?

 

[calsnowskier]

Really, why no Ramos!?!?

That just tells me they have basically ready made their decision on him. Trade or DFA. He has next to zero chance of making the club next year.

 

[LHG]

Sheesh! Two innings in a row of bases loaded opportunities and two innings of no runs scored!

 

[LHG]

That just tells me they have basically ready made their decision on him. Trade or DFA. He has next to zero chance of making the club next year.

And that is absolutely ridiculous. Huge pedigree, young, no much time in the big leagues. He struggles in the upper minors for about one full season and they give up on him?!?!
