Game Thread: 06.28.24 - A Knack for getting caught in a Webb

[msgkings322]

Nice fucking win. Doval not great but no meltdown he’s still easily the best option and the 8th inning combo with Rogers is powerful

Webb nails as usual and doesn’t get Cained

Wasn't that still a Cained game since the win came after he was pulled?

Nah he knows winning is what matters not the stat. Let’s face it technically the guy that blew the save gets “the win” but everyone knows the guy who pitched 7 giving up 2 won that game

But I thought the whole concept behind getting Cained was pitching well and showing nothing for it in the win column for the pitcher.

Because they usually lose the game. This game was a great team win and everyone on that team knows Webb won it. I just think of Caining being not scoring for him. Even if he wins 2-1 he got Cained

Yep, I just checked the baseball rule book, and Webb was Cained.

Well, poop!

Blown save by Doval.

Hard to blame this one on Doval. Tough play for Ramos, granted, but that should have been ruled an error.

Relatedly, Bailey’s double should have been a single with a 1-base error.

Giants are now 1-0 while Stokes is in Idaho!

On the phone to the Idaho state police as we speak…

Why can’t teams provide load screechy fans that have their ear-piercing whails caught by the field mics with ball gags when needed? That incessant screaming by that bitch tonight was giving me headaches.

for a crappy team, the Giants do produce more than their share of dramatic wins

L O L at ESPN. According to them, the Giants played last nights game without a shortstop.

That is really side-splittlingly hilarious!

I agree. How can a professional sports news corporation show a ridiculous stat like that

Observations:

Ramos was the #weaklink — 0-4 and a critical misplay T9.

Chappys HR pitch was the meatiest of meatballs. To his credit he didn’t miss it but man that’s an awful pitch.

A great game all around. Maybe this wakes them up?

You are embarrassed that you didn't catch it.
