No BB9, no Dozens.

Fed those fedding Feds...

5-4 good guys.

Nunez better shape up if he wants to stick around.

Working a walk -

Getting picked off and showing no heart in the process -

 

[filosofy29]

Sooo tired of Samardzija. Only 4.5 more seasons of this.

2-0 bad guys already.

I feel bad, I shouldn't blame him for signing the contract. Just frustrating is all.

Agreed. If he were getting #4 money to be a #4, I'd probably be OK with him.
As it is...

More Shitmardzjia....ugh.

And we surrendered a # 14 pick to get him. If we could get Reynolds in the second (and Quinn in the 3rd), who could the Giants have gotten in the 1st in this year's draft?

 

[calsnowskier]

Not that Leake is having a good year, but he may have been cheaper and would not have cost a pick...

 

[Stokes1931]

I thought July was over.

 

[calsnowskier]

At least Pagan is acting like he actually cares...

That was my preference. Then again, my past vision is 20/20.

Then again, his ERA is half of Timmah's ERA, for those that were advocating for resigning Timmah.

 

[calsnowskier]

I think most of us here were high on resigning him, even if he didnt blow the doors off of us in his short stint here.

When he signed with St Louis, I actually said that that would end up being the best, dollar for dollar signing of all FA pitchers in that class. I may not have been accurate (yet, at least), but has certainly not been the worst.

 

[Stokes1931]

What are the Giants' hitters hitting with? Didn't the bats arrive from Philly? This prolonged hitting slump is more maddening than Scrabble's poor pitching. No one, no one is hitting. With RISP, or any other time. One freaking hit?

 

[Stokes1931]

Since the ASB, Giants scoring only 3.5 runs per game, and giving up 4.9 runs per game. (-1.4)

Pre-ASB, Giants scored 4.7 runs per game, and gave up 3.9 runs per game. (+0.8)

 

[Stokes1931]

 

[calsnowskier]

As bad as Goners glove is, he is not any worse than Nunez, and his bat is red-hot. You GOTTA give him the lion's share of ABs right now.

 

[calsnowskier]

And Punch comes into the game. Is that Boches version of waving the white flag?

 

[calsnowskier]

So Punch mows 'em down when we are down by 4. Every bully needs a guy like that.

 

[Stokes1931]

About to go 0-7 in opening games of series post-ASB.

Why can't this team win the first game of a series? Yeah, I know, they give up more runs than they score.
