We have a winning streak!!

Only the second of the season, I think...

Nah bro, the Giants have won more than 2 games this season.

We weren’t talking games. We were talking streaks.

3rd both involve dogs

Ah yes... I missed the bookends of the rainouts.

I know. I was just playing off the ambiguity of how you phrased your response.

Seriously, does he EVER protect? He looks at EVERY pitch after strike 2...

Why Giants’ Brandon Belt gets bum rap on strike-zone approach

Just saw the Mac homer..... holy effing balls, that was a SHOT! That was Bonds-ian

Did you see Boch as Mac went back to the dugout? He looked like he was going to stain his smile muscles. It was kinda eerie...

Just watched again...

Did that land in the same seat as 756?

Awfully close.... I think Mac's went further:

Statcast: Williamson's 464-ft HR

 

[SFGRTB]

It was the longest opposite field homer in MLB this season. Further than Stanton.

I'm trying to think of right-handed batters who've gone out that far, and the only names that come to mind are Justin Upton and Paul Goldschmidt.

Mac has the most pure power on the team and it's not close. If he can have an OBP of even .315 or so he's our everyday LF.

 

[msgkings322]

By the way so far this year the pitching has been 2010 good. Yeah I said it. And without Bumgarner. Once he replaces Holland...

If the season ended today (LOL) Cueto would likely be the Cy Young winner. I am aware there have been Aprils where Barry Zito looked like a Cy Young winner too.

 

[msgkings322]

He is certainly earning that 2M...

Our best reliever so far

 

[msgkings322]

This guy is NOT a closer...

I dunno, Brian Wilson?
