Ramos is finally showing he may be major leaguer after all.

Outstanding defense today

Hope he can hit especially if Conforto is down for a while. These guys are scuffling for sure but missing lots of bats to injury hasn't helped

When they give up a couple runs, you're not happy. When they pitch great and win, you're not happy. You've become NolanNonsense which is ironic since he's back posting here under another name.

so, so untrue.

Then stop posting like it

I don't. You read into it. I'm disappointed when the mound is shat. Always have been. I'm generally pleased, win or lose, when the SP pitches well.

Tonight was a great example: SP leaves game early and the offense clocks out after the salami. Recipe for disaster...but the bullpen was nails. I need to see more from this rotation than we've been getting.

This could very well be the start of a 10 game winning streak for the Giants.

Unpopular opinion: I like bringing up Wisely here. Clearly wasn’t ready last season but he has a phenomenal glove, particularly at 2B, versatility, speed, has almost as many BB as K, and has sneaky enough pop to have some intriguing potential. Hopefully he can hit offspeed now.

Not sure who would disagree with you. He's done well at AAA and deserves a shot on the big club. Hope he does well.

4 runs is usually plenty to win at home and today was a perfect example. You just like to be angry in GDTs

Please, more like 15

 

[sf1giantfan]

I’m hoping the rookies will put pressure on our players to play like they are being paid top dollar.

Don’t get greedy, baby steps.

 

[LHG]

And that time Yaz with the cannon!

Even when he doesn't hit he plays great D

But man if Conforto is out a while we got problems, one of our only legit hitters

This phuking "offense" is pathetic.

Absolutely nothing since the slam in the first inning. They are really going to try and make that one hit stand up for the win.

That says everything

Can admin change the starting time to 4:15? I got the east coast time.

As you wish.

 

[LHG]

That says everything

One of the many things that stuck out to me was the rankings on stolen bases and caught stealing.

I can see the meme now: "We don't steal much but when we do, we usually get caught."

Did their sons become Giants?

It is a mouthful to be sure

Hitters 7-31, 1BB, 9 K...yikes.

Bullpen 4.2 IP; 4 H; 0 R; 1 BB; 5 K...bueno.

Well, they’ve lost their center fielder, left fielder, DH and their shortstop. that doesn’t help the lineup

Well at least it’s not last year. I think they had the lowest team batting average and committed the most errors in the league If they ever get healthy they’ll be good
