Game Thread: 5.22 Snellzilla @ Sea Ganifs (3:40 pm)

[Brightboat]

Soler had three RBIs today. That should quiet the critics here for at least a day

 

[msgkings322]

Got revenge for yesterday.

Some of this stuff evens out over 162, you give one away, you steal one, etc

 

[msgkings322]

Greatest defensive Giants 3B since Posey?

Posey never made a single error at 3rd base so yeah, he was pretty good

 

[tzill]

I hope this unnamed lefthander does well in this start. Will he wear a mask to hide his identity?

Wouldn’t you like to know…

Hjelle showing his true colors.

Reynolds giving a nice Italian salute to the team that traded him away.

Giants bully has now inherited 58 runners, 28 have scored.

This is the concerning issue…Jax looks good til he doesn’t. Jelly looks awesome til he doesn’t. Hope this shit ends soon.

Chapman warming up. Now has 7 homers.

On pace for 20?

 

[tzill]

Bases loaded, no outs.

Bailey whiffs

Soler hits a ball about 10 feet, but got a run home.

And Ramos sees five pitches, none even close to the strike zone, swings at three of them, misses badly, end of an inning.

You’d have to think Soler will snap out of this and regress to the mean.

LWJ is the first NL player this year to get on base six times in the same game. Dude is tragically underappreciated. OBP now .484

Hard to see him get an all star nod but he's that important to us

By the way great thread title use of 'ganifs'

 

[msgkings322]

Man remember when Aroldis Chapman was the nastiest reliever in the game? Now look at 'im

 

[msgkings322]

By the way, I posted those bouncing Katy Perry funbags in the other thread when the Giants were getting their asses kicked, and then look what happens

You're welcome

Nice to see Joey Bart be useful to someone, rooting for him. Bailey makes that easy to say

We are only getting the pity rep this year. I don’t see anyone else worthy. And he might actually be legit worthy.

Webb?

Webb?

Is he all star worthy this year? I haven’t compared numbers, but he isn’t passing my eye test this year.

He is good but he will need a couple dominant starts to get into the conversation. His WHIP is a bit high (1.320) and his K rate is a bit low (7.3 K/9) and his traditional stats (3.03 ERA, 4 wins in 11 starts) don't quite make up enough for serious consideration, in my opinion.

The problem is that people still expect 1st basemen to be hulking power hitters with ridiculous home run numbers. He'll be overlooked, unless someone realizes he needs to be the Giants' pity pick for the All-Star game.

I still remember ST like 10 years ago when I saw him live for the first time…the pop of the catchers mitt…never heard anything like it.

A true thread King suffers in silence.
