Game Thread: 4/9 GDT Champs @ Fraudres

[msgkings322]

Y'all better recognize the emergence of FYWW last night and especially tonight. Still the best pen in the game, mainly due to 1. arguably best bullpen manager in history 2. a core of talent that has pitched together for 5 years....which oh by the way was good enough to anchor 3 championships in those 5 years.

You just know they are going to keep us in the wild card chase.

Let's just recognize we are in the middle of the greatest era in Giants history and yes I think that includes the NY Giants.

Pad still lost TWO challenges.

Well the boys saddled up in San Diego today with Tim Hudson leading the way. He was on point and got some help from tremendous defense. Huddy went 6 1/3 innings giving up 5 hits and spacing 5 walks along the way. He got help from some great defensive plays and Brandon Crawford is playing his ass off right now. He had the play of the year diving up the middle to snag a ground ball and a beautiful flip to Joey P. for the turn to first. It was a play worthy of a framed masterpiece painting hung in the finest gallery in the world. You see baseball is a form of art..it's sports art..and Craw is becoming a Picasso at shortstop. Later in the game he also saved it with a long run towards the line in that tough hole to stop the runner at third.

It was a pitching battle all day and if there ever was a case for the argument against the DH it was today. A beautiful display of a chess match between two of the best managers in the NL. Bochy and Black showed people why it would be a tragedy to banish the pitcher from hitting in the NL. You could just see the brains wheeling and dealing in their dugouts and they are both chess masters. It all came down to the kid Maxwell (House) cause he is as big as a house. He delivered the game home to the Giants in the 12th with a single to center scoring Crawford. The kid had a big smile as he stood on the bag at first and the Regulators rumbled out of the visitors dugout to salute their young slugger.

The bulls in the pen..hey what can you say but bravo once again going 5 2/3 innings of 2 hit ball. Kontos got his first win and Casilla notched his 3rd save already.

It really was a fabulous ballgame with a kick ass effort by the boys who rode into town back in the saddle again to win. A 1-0 piece of baseball art.

Go Giants !!

Hi

That "torture" word is thrown around a lot, but this is a true torture-type game. So little offense, good pitching, good defense. One mistake by either team could decide the game.

w we survived McGehee, I will never know.

GREAT game, though. Maybe the best game I have ever been to. (At least it makes the short-list)

That's cool Cal..way to support the team on the road. I am glad you had a blast.

Phillie fans and Kimbrel

I was in a pocket if about 9 Giants fans, and we were all laughing our asses off at him.

Gotta say, though, I REALLY respect him for coming in high and inside on Pagan after the warning. That showed balls.

 

[calsnowskier]

That hurt so bad. True torture.

 

[calsnowskier]

McGehee will be the guy I rag on this year. Just don't think he will be a net positive player

I was so ready to really be a fan of his this year.

Today has changed that. He almost killed us, and when he had the chance to be the hero, more goat.

Get Duffy some time at 3rd!!!

Because you force Arias to swing at a bad pitch, have a very slow runner at second and there are far greater odds of it not working than it being successful.

Ok, odds guy -- prove it.

 

[calsnowskier]

The name won't catch on, But I'm calling him Mceee for awhile


No glove "g" or hit "h"

Would have had 3 tonight if Craw didn't save his ass...

Absolutely no question that this is the Golden Age of Giants baseball.
