Ouch. I'm enjoying the drama though!

 

[msgkings322]

OK 2023 Giants have returned lol

2-0 seems insurmountable.

PHUK, Spyder.

Just...PHUK.

Another well pitched game by Webby

Well boys, we're back to being a pitching dominating, pretty lousy hitting team...we should be used to this lol

Through 8:

7 one pitch ABs: 4-7
6 two pitch ABs: 3-6
5 three pitch ABs: 1-5

One BB
Five Ks

Weird game.

Doval!

 

[msgkings322]

FYWW!

Camilo Doval is a baaaaaaad mamma jamma

 

[msgkings322]

Doval!

Easily our best player, so much fun to watch, love this kid

Edit: Webb is close

 

[msgkings322]

Now 50-0 when leading after 8. I bet after 7 it's not much worse. That's a good feeling that kind of confidence in your pen.

Nice win. 8 pitch save for Doval. Great start by Spyder. Enough hitting.

You can kinda see how good the team could be when Haniger/Yaz/Tyro come back.

Some love for Flores, we rag on the hitting but that guy ain't it...he's dialed in for 2 months now

Also give it up for Crawford...the numbers are deceiving, he is great with RISP, he fields the position still, and he's the only guy on the team who's won anything. That matters if you're in a playoff hunt, that clubhouse vibe of people who been there. Gonna miss that next year.

On postgame show they're comparing Bailey and his arm to Benito Santiago who also had a gun, used to throw out dudes at 2nd from his knees

Bailey leads the league in defensive runs saved at catcher, playing only 2 1/2 months

About two months ago, Flores looked like the guy at the end of the bench (everyone else hitting and he wasn't). Now he looks like the team's offensive MVP. Guess I was wrong on bringing him back (thus far).

I remember that! Benito was the premier catcher in his prime. A big reason the Padres were comfortable moving Sandy Alomar to another team.

This applies to tomorrow but Giants are 14-5 when using an "opener". This is our thing now.

The org went all in on the opener this year (just look at the AAA "rotation"). Glad it is at least working out. I don't like it but if its going to be used, it might as well work.
