Notice how easily the Dodger runners go from 1st to 3rd on a single? Damnedest thing I’ve ever seen. Why can’t we do that?

 

[Stokes1931]

1st and 3rd two out

90 pitches

leave Hicks in to face O.

whar could go wrong?

 

[Sandisfan]

If one run is insurmountable what is a three run lead?

 

[Stokes1931]

Ohtani with a two run double

good managing! Excellent!

And see how it works for them? We don't want THAT kind of baseball being played in orange and black.

Yaz and Wade seemed to play better for him tho

A SpaceX launch to Mars.

Hicks should go to IL or back to the bully. Dude needs to build up more stamina to be a starter. He has good stuff. Until he doesn’t.

Almost like it isn't the manager that is the problem . . .

Need to make room for Cobb (Birdsong already down for Ray . . . in the rotation. I have no idea what the plan is for active roster spots for the two.).

 

[sf1giantfan]

We should throw in the towel now

 

[calsnowskier]

Hicks’ last 5 starts…

22.0 IP, 20 ER, 30 H, 13 BB, 22 K

Dude needs to go to the IL for a few weeks BADLY. I suspect they will find something this week.

Has Estrada hit his way to a nontender this offseason? Or does his history and his defense keep him on the roster in 2025?

I think so. With Wisely, Fitz, Lucky and Schmitt, I dont see room for him anymore.

Too bad. He played well in the past. I would non-ironically call him a good Giant.

Unless he is playing through injury, he gone.

 

[calsnowskier]

Wow. That play really highlighted the fact that Fitz does NOT have a rocket arm.

But he has a rocket bat

Can we sell NOW???

nothing to sell that anyone wants

He has to take some blame for lack of running and clown show defense in the field
