Did so plenty vs the Pirates and Mets but this ain't them

If Webb settles down, they got a shot

 

[msgkings322]

And Ahmed. Also Estrada is out of the lineup tonight.

Ahmed being out down not hurt the lineup lol

It is what it is, pitching focused team which is how they won titles.

No he is doing ok, they have 1 hit. That's what has to change.

Defensively, he is way better than any other SSthey have

Who the heck is teaching baserunning for these guys?!?

This is atrocious!

Ramos on 2nd, fly ball to medium deep CF, and he tries for 3rd?!? What possible advantage is that? Even IF a Giant batter could get a hit with RISP, Ramos would score easily from 2nd.



edit: so it was challenged and overturned, and Wisely drives him in.

The point still stands. Too many pickoffs at 1st, too many baserunning blunders, too many chances NOT taken, and too many stoopid chances taken (usually unsuccessfully). So who is coaching these boys?

 

[LHG]

Oh right, Wade. Yeah they would look better with him in there. Lee or Conforto would be better than Yaz too.

Even full strength they ain't the Yankees

Conforto yes, Lee no. His numbers weren't better than Yaz.

 

[LHG]

Chapman with the whiff hat trick tonight.

 

[Sandisfan]

Soler with the Oppo to drive in run LOL or hit with man on base Haha

Edited: Expected result runner thrown out at second gets on first at least.

 

[msgkings322]

Those kinds of hitters are what we just don't have

 

[tzill]

The only competition tonight was between Webb and Walker to see who could shit the mound more fully.

The pitching in this series has been a straight up phuking embarrassment. No excuse for how poorly Webb or Hicks pitched.

All we need is Snell to complete the trifecta.

The quality of the hitters is a factor

A few years ago they had Coleman in ST as a base running coach. I never heard when he was let go (unless it was only a short term thing for ST), and I never heard about him doing any coaching anywhere else.

Edit: It was in ‘17, and he was a roving minor league instructor for the whole season. No record of him coaching anywhere after that.

Agreed. The giants have to play fundamentally sound ball to beat teams like the Yankees

 

[Brightboat]

Conforto yes, Lee no. His numbers weren't better than Yaz.

I think I’d take Lee over Yastrzemski

Change that diaper. We all would have said before this six game stretch started that we’d be happy with a split of these games and the Giants have a shot at that today; especially the Yankees throw out a Getaway Day lineup

Sure, but not the main factor.

 

[msgkings322]

Sure, but not the main factor.

Of course it is. Webb did much better against lesser lineups.

 

[tzill]

Of course it is. Webb did much better against lesser lineups.

He pitched much better vs a very similar team earlier in the week. It's Webb more than the batters.

It’s not but of course you will never see it

It is but of course you will deny it.
