To paraphrase Josef Stalin:

Ha ha. That bit of nonsensical drivel is right out of the Joe Biden playbook for debating.

A bit of a rough end to the game (Tyler Rogers proves, once again, that this bullpen doesn't know what to do with inherited runners) but still nice to see a W against the Dodgers!

Gonna be interesting over the next six

1. We suck on the road
2. The rotation is a mess
3. Easy to lose contact with the WC as it’s not a bunch of sub .500 teams now

if we can stay relevant until Snell, Harry, Ray and Cobb get back….

Remember that Hicks is scheduled to have his mysterious ailment soon as well. That should shelf him for 3-4 weeks.

Finally home. I think I will call home "Wyoming" for a while and see how the Giants do.

Nice game today. Listened to it when we got over the Sierras into the valley.

Every hitter had at least one hit

6 of our 9 hitters had at least one RBI

Giants hit 10 doubles

8-19 with RISP WILL get it done (unlike the 5-23 debacle of last night, even before Jelly's meltdown)

I wonder

1) If/when Hicks will go on the IL sometime

2) Whether he will revert to the bullpen upon his return

3) Or something creative, like he can start once a week. Maybe he can go 6-7, and not accumulate as many innings starting fewer games? :noidea:

They still should have won yesterday. They threw that game away

When it's warm and sunny that ballpark does not prevent runs like it usually does LOL

So VR has a batting average of .357 and an on base pct of .333

Remind me how it's possible to have a lower OBP than average?

nice confidence boost for the kid Bivens to see him own Ohtani, with a grounder and 2 Ks including his last out of the night

Sacrifice fly. It counts as a plate appearance but not an at-bat. Since he has 0 walks, it makes his OBP lower than his AVG
