And Melancon was something like 130 for his last 140.

The Giants need to get new Gatorade or something.

He was unscored upon in ST. Two outs bases empty in the ninth and he loses the game.

Hard to believe.

There are definite yips going on. Law looked uncomfortable as hell and then the best closer in the game over the last 3 years coughs up the victory with 2 out and none on.

It is simply beyond explanation.

The Core Four will only get better as the years pass, me think.

Bum with 2 homers today. Perhaps he could play LF on his off days?
We had the discussion last year. I think he could be a stud OFer if he concentrated on hitting. You gotta think, with dedication, he could be a .270 hitter with 35-40 HRs.

Was that a message from Bochy to management? To leave the new best closer in there? I kept saying to myself, "Why doesn't he take him out?". Bochy didn't call time out. Nobody went to the mound. Nothing.

Just one game, but a very disappointing loss.

Bring on the hot takes.

In all seriousness, of course the season had to start this way. It was a fun game, except for the 9th inning.

Take him out when they're still winning? What?

Giants on pace to blow 324 saves this year.
...but Bum is on pace to hit a boat load of dingers.

And so this year starts like last year ended: GUT PUNCH!!!:mad2::mad2::mad2:

Bum looked really, really good today. There was an uptick in his fastball too.

I saw a quote somewhere from Bum in the offseason. He said that he hasn't had his right mechanics in a couple of years now. I wonder if he's figured out his mechanics now? That would be really scary.

His bat is obviously in mid-season form.

A lot to like about this game, even with the outcome.

Giants weren't winning when there were two on and the game tied after Melancon gave up consecutive hits. Two runs on three hits with two outs. Yep. I would have pulled his ass immediately. He looked very uncomfortable.
