This game didn’t start out well. Side note, I thought Tromp was gonna be Cuetos personal catcher.

My guess is there was pressure from PsTB. This is Barts team. Cueto needs to deal.

With tonight's game, its going to be harder to get something of value in a Cueto trade. He needed to deal to be dealt. But he just got dealt instead.

Belt is up to .294/.384/.563

IS THIS THE YEAR?

Stokes, I know that deep inside you, you find it satisfying to post that this year.

I seriously doubt that one start will move his needle one way or the other. However, tonight was more like Dia de Mierda, amirite?

This isn't the kind of situation I expected to see Gott in after his 3 game meltdown.

Not sure I agree. This is his first "full" season back after TJ. He looked good at the end of 2019 but potential buyers want to see some extended dominance before being willing to give up much for him. He started off rough but started looking better. A bad game like this, just before the deadline, could take some of the shine off those previous starts and cause teams to pause in what the Giants may ask, or even they would want him at all.

Treinen is the 3rd Dodger reliever with an ERA sub-1.00 (and 3rd reliever of the game).

....THAT HE GETS DEALT

Nah. There will be a 3-man rotation at 1st and catcher. He will still be needed next year (his last as a Giant)

Come on, fellas. What does one need to do to get a hit with men in scoring position here?

We are now down a run. If we had only 1-2 more hits with runners on, we'd be up by several runs. I hate losing to the Dogs.

If you can dump the salary for a low level prospect don't you kinda have to do that?

Your talking to cal here. He would dump Belt for a bucket of balls and $2 in salary relief.

I thought so but then he replied differently

That’s one perspective. Another would be — if the SP wasn’t doing his Phuking #weaklink act, we would be winning.
