[msgkings322]

in the 11th if we’re lucky

Uh....

 

[msgkings322]

OK Walker, you better have your shit together

 

[msgkings322]

How sweep it is!!

FYWW for real, Walker was nasty

Pitching and defense again...last error the Giants committed was May 4...but it was a doozy both Adames and Chapman had 2 errors and the Cubs scored 6 unearned runs. That's the way to play it, get em all out in one game LOL

I like this rivalry weekend. Admittedly some are forced, but in general fun to see city / regional NL/AL games

Totally agree, the 'forced' ones are for teams that don't really have a regional rivalry.

Easy to say when we just swept 'em LOL

It was really nice after losing the series to AZ after being swept by Minny to then sweep the A'zzzz to end the week well, saved the giants to stay in with other teams in the WC race surely helps. Not expecting to get a WC but staying close and in it for a long time would make this season more enjoyable.

I think they've shown they are every bit a wild card contender this year, we're 47 games in, and their run differential is 4th best in the NL

Pitching and defense baby!

Not saying it’s gonna last, but is almost like Buster Posey knows what wins in this park.

For all the wins the G’s offense has left on the table for JV, nice to at least see them erase a L.

Been saying the same all year: P&D&TH

Buster remembers from 2010

He deserved an L today....He was NOT good. 4 IP is a shitshow and overtaxes the bullpen.

The Royals series starters:

Mon - Ray v. Bubic
Tue - Bird v. Lorenzen
Wed - Webb v. TBD

They have a slight pitching advantage Monday, we have a slight advantage Tuesday, and we should have a strong advantage Wednesday.

We should take this series before heading out to DC.

 

[tzill]

If we can get solid starts from Webb, Ray, Roupp, and Bird regularly, then we endure JV as a fifth starter.

I'd be ok with that.

Right, but that’s not what I said.

I don't know. TBD has been very tough on the Giants in the past.

Hate that guy to be honest.

Dodgers 3 best pitchers are hurt but none of them for all year. They are treading water for now but Vegas still has them favorites to win the Series
