I was talking about getting Giolito AND a bully piece for Bart/Ramos.

They have a couple ok guys but nothing special

 

[Stokes1931]

de la Cruz is tall! And has a cannon for an arm. And is very fast. But he’s like 1 for his last 30. Welcome to the majors, kid!

 

[calsnowskier]

Yes. Both games tonight. Waited out the rain. No pitching duel in the 2nd game. Giants going for some sort of strikeout record. 8 in 4 innings.

Hacktastic bunch.

 

[Stokes1931]

Former Giant Derek Law on for the Reds.

I am not a fan, but I have heard Anderson is getting shopped. Having a bad season, but maybe a change of scenery could help him out?

Bart/Ramos

Giolito/Anderson

??

That would be taking a lot of money off their books.

Former future closer for the Giants.

Wow. I just looked him up.

I knew he was having a rough year, but holy shit. That is Bellinger level drop in production.

WTF?

 

[calsnowskier]

This umpire is horrible

I am not HATING Yaz this year.

Rumors are he's having personal family issues. And he probably wants out. Worth a shot I guess based on track record but who knows

 

[Stokes1931]

Could really use a PBF here.

 

[msgkings322]

It's Cincinnati man, there's gonna be some high scoring games. Not quite Coors but still

 

[calsnowskier]

I hate AL baseball.

 

[Stokes1931]

And the kid’s first MLB hit is an EWS against the Giants.

Was a Giants or As fan?

Not according to Flores.

Manaea and Llovera say: Wilmer, hold my beer.

I really can't see a role for Manaea anymore. He can't start, he can't be a bulk inning guy, he's certainly not a late inning guy. Might just have to eat that $12M next year and DFA him.

Hacktastic bunch.

Not tonight, not really. Sure, a lot of Ks but a LOT of good ABs. Through 5:

1 one pitch AB 0-1
3 two pitch ABs 2-3 2HR
2 three pitch ABs 1-2

10/15 outs are Ks though.

Not really hacking, just whiffing.

 

[tzill]

I mean, you can hate the Hebrew because "he doesn't give a shit on defense" or "he's out of shape" or whatever, but that walk was a phuking THING OF BEAUTY. He had a plan to get Wilmer up with the bases loaded.

 

[tzill]

5 RBI for Wilmer....every single Giant not named Wilmer has K'd.
