Game Thread: Cinco de Mayo Gs @ Maidens

[calsnowskier]

This is rough, but you gotta let the kid work it out.

 

[calsnowskier]

No, Kuip. We dont need him until he is right. Might as well make him right in THIS game...

 

[calsnowskier]

Well, at least now we know how Mac is getting back to the roster.

 

[SFGRTB]

Wtf are you talking about, Lopez?

“Gearrin’s having a good year. His numbers look pretty good.”

An ERA of over 4.00 and a WHIP of about 2.00.

I understand you have to talk with rose colored glasses (you like that one?), but don’t say stupid shit.

Gotta have his bullpen mates' backs

(but yeah when you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything at all)

 

[LHG]

Moronta has lost some luster lately



edit Jeebus, couldn't thro a friggin strike.

Walks have been plaguing him the whole year. He's just been able to escape most jams.

Yeah, but how is Pence getting back on the roster?

 

[SFGRTB]

Just when I was going to complain about his cold spell at the plate, he does this. Well, gotta find another player to complain about now. Hmm, let's see, how about . . . Samardzija?

Yeah he was a prime candidate to get replaced by Pence coming into this game. He just bought himself some more time

 

[Sandisfan]

Well I usually read posts and don't write much cause heck who wants to read what I write... but this last little while with the Giants proves what others have said about wins by starting pitchers, wins is way over rated after all these Giants starters aren't the greatest but since they pitch for a OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT they can easily wins games. See what I did there OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT

Enjoy it as long as it lasts IT'S FUN and hope when things get back to average our Pitching staff can help keep the Giants above .500 and in it.

DFA Hanson?

 

[SFGRTB]

Giants and Braves just made a trade...

Tanner Murphy coming to the Giants, a MiLB catcher. The Giants are extremely thin on catchers in the minors right now, this is just an emergency scenario.

 

[SFGRTB]

Nice job, Pierce

 

[1phlapdown]

Dogs losing in 8th


edit: Hey Stokes, 9-15!!!!!!!!

 

[SFGRTB]

Fifth consecutive series win!

Looks like an all-glove, no bat catcher. Certainly hope we didn’t give up anything of value (a case of NEW balls would be considered “too much”, IMHO).

 

[msgkings322]

FYWW! OK kidding...

But this is a fun stretch. Who thought we'd be winning with Bum and Cueto injured?

And Cutch is coming on, .765 OPS and rising.

Plus we now have a logjam of intriguing OFs: Slater, Mac, Gorkys, Cutch all need playing time. Blanco looking great in his role too. I'm sorry but there's just no room for Pence.

Isn't that just about all the catchers the Giants have? And I didn't think they were thin on catchers. There's a few guys left in extended spring training, unless they are all injured.

But I cannot see the Giants just dumping Pence. His rehab should be ending soon. Hard decision coming up.

Make him a coach like they did with Ichiro. Only half kidding.

Sandisfan, you've read some of the nonsense we've written. Don't be afraid to contribute more. It doesn't stop me. (See @calsnowskier , @Stokes1931 , @SFGRTB , @msgkings322, @1phlapdown and @tzill all nodding their heads over in that corner?)

That could be a possibility but would the FO do it?
