Nervous time...

 

[calsnowskier]

I wonder if Doval will get looks again closing

“Yes”

 

[filosofy29]

Tranquillo! Phew. Couldn’t take this as a loss after that Dubs game lmao.

Doval!

Without Playoff Jimmy the Dubs have no chance.

Good win, nice to have a “backup closer”. In 2023 Doval had one of the best ever seasons for a closer so maybe he has matured

He will be back for game 3 I think. No way the Rockets were losing game 1 and 2 at home

Will he miss more games?

I’d usually agree, but after 2022, I’ll never doubt Steph again.

Wiggins played out of his gourd that post-season, though. As did Looney. Looney has all but disappeared now. Though Dre is playing much better now than he did in ‘22.

Looney had good games and maybe a good series or two…but nobody, I mean nobody…besides Wiggins (a career underachiever mind you)…played well all four series besides Steph. Saying Wiggins played out of his Gourd, is accurate. But it’s like saying Cody Ross played out of his Gourd (we don’t win without him or Wiggs), but that was Steph’s championship (Steph was the Giants starting pitching). He dragged them to the finish line.

MRI is tomorrow in Bay Area supposedly. Himmy says he’s good to go, but MRI will most likely dictate (per the old Twitter machine).

Looney was defensive and rebounding MACHINE that post-season season. Granted, he was not as big as Wigs or Steph, but we don’t win that ‘ship without Looney’s boards.

Pitching and defense boys!

Webb was outstanding as was the pen outside of Walker.

Brisbee, this morning:

If Walker’s back is still bothering him, and if that’s affecting his ability to execute, there’s an easy way to sort this out without making an official change. He’ll get rest, treatment, more time, whatever it takes. If he’s physically fine, though, a change would be premature. Nobody benefits when a closer carousel is spinning out of control. It drives fans nuts, it unsettles the clubhouse and it makes the pitchers involved feel like they have to be perfect. A team shouldn’t mess with that in April unless they have to.

Amen.

 

[tzill]

Do you REALLY think this team would score 3 runs for Spyder? In one game?

Call me a wild optimist...

 

[tzill]

And with a closer this shaky

Good thing we have two...

Third time our playoff run has been decimated by an injury. Somewhere Klay and KD are nodding in sympathy.

Doubtful. I think his season is over, as is the Ws season.
