FYWW and lots of runs, this team is fun to watch so far

You rooted for the 1980's Pistons?

No... but in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s (yeah i'm really old) players enforced decorum. i have no issue with that

13 hits for the G's, that's my metric

True, but the NBA has a real problem with the way Steph gets mugged every night and nary gets a call. He was never one of the ones like the Beard who went hunting for fouls. He does so now, once in a while, out of desperation. I cannot believe the refs don't see it.

I legit can not watch SGA play. Dude is so talented but such a diver. Don’t want him to get hurt seriously, but would love to see him get a game of hard fouls with no FT love.

For me it' James Hardin,

A split was all I wanted now we can try for extra...

I think the Giants like it when they get to hit in a park like this. The pitchers not so much

Phil’s are just gross right now.

8 losses and 4 of them are Nola starts. He’s in year 2 of a 7 year deal. His velocity is down like 1.5-2 MPH. I hope he goes to the DL because they reveal he’s been pitching hurt cause if not…I have Jake Arrieta again.

Our local telecast had this stat. Tonight was third time since 1974 both starting pitchers walked in a run in the first inning. Last time was August 2001. Damn

I don’t think our guys mentioned that in the broadcast. Of course, we only took our backup announcers on this trip. We got Flem and Lopez on TV (that’s actually not a bad duo, Lopez has gotten MUCH better since his debut a few years back) and on radio I think we are going Ritzo and FP (FP isn’t horrible but Ritzo SOUNDS like a minor league announcer).

 

[calsnowskier]

Did any of us believe JHL would be this productive? I admit I didn't

He has been nothing short of amazing. And fun to watch!

 

[calsnowskier]

kinda a thread jack, but i agree with nba freethrows. we now have players whose speciality if not career is build on their ability to draw fouls. miss the old days where if some one was inducing fowls repeatedly he'd find himself on the floor, repeatedly, with bruises,

Phil, is that you? Lambeer, you old dog.

It’s Laimbeer. Get it right or you might never get out of the paint

My preference is this:



But my reality is more this:



Telly Monster is an intense and earnest monster who worries about everything. He often needs help from his friends to cope with strong emotions like anxiety and frustration.

MLB leaders in runs scored now:

Cubs 124
Yankees 107
Giants 100

the 2025 Giants are at exactly 100 runs scored on the season. They’re averaging 5.55 runs per game, which is the third-most in baseball, behind only the Cubs and Yankees. Enough of their hitters are still struggling to justify an article centered around those struggles.

Just sayin...this team is weird.

 

[tzill]

MLB leaders in run differential:

Padres +37
Cubs +36
Giants +34

The Giants have scored 100 runs and allowed 64. That’s good for a Pythagorean record of 13-5, which just happens to be their actual record. You might think that a team’s Pythagorean record is something that only nerds care about. Well, allow me to disabuse you of that notion and … wait, no, that’s entirely correct. It’s definitely just for nerds.

Who is Snuffleufagus?

 

[tzill]

For me it' James Hardin,

You just know that when Hardin was coming into the league he studied a TON of Corey Magette film...
