Giants: let’s load the bases

Padres: we got them right where we want them

I was afraid some of our hot start was because of a soft schedule...now we face some good teams.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2021 San FransisKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKo Giants. :L
Yep, they have thrown a ton of strikeouts this year. Stellar pitching, including another QS tonight. But SD is no joke and we were never gonna finish with 108 wins.

True, but we’ve played them tough. Thought the G’s actually should have won last night if they could have cashed in. Tonight, Pads earned for sure. If the G’s can win tomorrow, they’re 3-3 vs the Pads for the season IIRC. We’re hanging with them, not like they’re blowing us out of the water.

I really like watching this team. Maybe it all blows up later but I choose to think they are one of the surprises in MLB that happens every year.

Royals maybe too? And in the other direction, are the Twins and Rays bad now?

Yes, the Padres are very, very good this year. Should give the Dogs a run for their $$$.

Just commenting on the 28 times the Giants have struck out the last two games. Giants are in the bottom seven in strikeouts offensively (right next to the Dogs!). For a team built on not striking out, and having plate discipline, this is not a good trend.

Their record is surprisingly good, even with that. Should be a fun and frustrating team to watch develop this season. I wonder when Ramos gets called up. :D

I don't feel any frustrations yet, they are WAY outperforming what I thought we'd see. And it's awesome to see Buster freaking Posey mashing like it's 2012.

Really asking, not being a smart ass. Are they a team built on not striking out? Looks like they’ve tried to build a team that makes the pitcher work. Usually, more pitches a player sees, more likely to strike out.

I’m ok for the rest of this year, but please end the Dubon experiment. Guy is not a major leaguer. Maybe a decent utility guy off the bench at best.
