This whole "Giants giving up 1st inning runs" theme has gotten tired. How has this become a thing?

I was typing up a thread with a similar title. Seriously, this is outrageous

 

[calsnowskier]

Credit to Giants fans that it has remained a rarity in the last few years, but...

Boo Birds have officially arrived...

 

[calsnowskier]

And with that, gentlemen, I bid thee adieu.

Knew the Giants were going to be bad, but come on this is just terrible. And they've been over-performing according to the metrics

Their record isn’t that bad. And that is what sucks. They need the record to be WORSE. They are currently only the 7th worst team.

D’Backs have scored multiple runs in 11 of the 20 innings.

They'll come crashing down, doubtless

What in the hell is happening with these first inning runs?!? Are the pitchers not ready? Are the scouting reports terrible? Is it the pitching coach? (Whiteside's fault!) This is beyond fluky.

The received wisdom is that Oracle is a tough place to hit. Well, it sure doesn't seem to be all that hard for other teams to hit here!

[Stokes1931]

Stop the presses. Posey with an RBI this game! He may be on track for 40 RBI this season! Our team leader!

 

[Stokes1931]

Can't pitch.

Can't hit.

Can't field.

Can't get more SF in 2019.

In other news, Pence has hit his 11th homerun this year and he's on pace for the best season of his entire career.

I'm happy for him and I also was okay with the Giants for letting him go for a chance at the young guys. If the Giants brought back Pence, it would not have been easy to DFA him if he did bad.

But his resurgence this season has me legitimately wondering what is going on. There has got to be something internally happening. Or the baseball gods really are just cashing in from our 2010-2014 run.

I thought you were leaving.

I doubt Noggin lasts the season.

Anderson has impressed me today. He’s young and pitched through two ugly errors from savvy vets. It happens, and he hasn’t run his pitch count up nibbling because of it. I think the dude has potential.

 

[Stokes1931]

Looking at the Giants batting averages, all I can think of is Mr. Kotter.

 

[Stokes1931]

Yaz with two hits.

Way to go, kid. Show these geezers.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants have played 22 games in May, and given up 1st inning runs in 15 of those games, totaling 33 runs (a little more than 2 per game)
