GDT GIANTS @ ASSTROS 8/21

[SFAnthem]

Have a good one Stokes. Once again, there should be a special pin or something for those of us who suffer through a game like this...

should read

"I survived ... Giants baseball"

 

[SFAnthem]

Freeport, I would rep you but at this point in my sportshoopla career, it wouldn't benefit you at all

No worries, I got it (when the repgun reloads in 24 hours)

I could be wrong but I think repping someone else boosts your rep power as well (as in how much rep points you have)

ROSS - CF
KEPPINGER - 2B
PABLO - 3B
HUFF - 1B
NATE - RF
BELT - LF
FONTENOT - SS
STEWART - C
RUNZLER - P

Today's the Day the Giants turn things around 7- 3 , Big day from Belt

Wilson to the Dl and Edlefsen to the Bullpen

Just started the thread from the beginning so if this hasn't been covered already: nice one! Rep.

 

[msgkings322]

I really question some of the decisions Bochy has made during this road trip. Starting Ruzler, not having someone throwing early in Wilson's melt-down in ATL - considering Wilson had been having back issues.....

Not playing Belt every day since his return....

you missed a pretty ..
well pretty frustratingly sick to your gut type of game where after all was said and done, the Giants are 1.5 back and going home.

Giants baseball gotta love it

Ross is an idiot

He and Huff the biggest non-injury issues that we didn't expect.

 

[msgkings322]

Braves keep giving.

Seriously, they are going to be tough in the playoffs. Speed, dominant 'pen, good SP.

Likely playing the Brewers to start them, if we make it we're getting the Phillies.

 

[msgkings322]

Man, our leadoff spot has been terrible all year long. We definitely need to prioritize that for 2012.

Ross continues to stink.

When Torres went back to his career production, we had nothing else to put there.

 

[msgkings322]

d@mmit, Nate! You need more patience than that. First pitch swinging?

Doesn't ANYONE talk to these players about their approach in situations like this? The pitcher just walked Huff!

Giants- only team in baseball that can get three singles and a walk in an inning, and still not score.

Huff did it too recently. I fucking hate it. Almost as much as the dreaded not scoring from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

Actually, now that I think of it, I hate it more. Anyone can NOT SWING at a pitch when the pitcher walks the bases loaded. Sometimes you don't get the guy in from third. But ANYONE can not swing at the first pitch after the pitcher walks the bases loaded. Any of us could do that!

And I hate the whole postgame bit where they say 'well I figured he had to throw a strike...'. Fuck you. See if he CAN throw a strike.

 

[msgkings322]

Good to see another team be as pathetic as the Giants with the bases loaded.

Sad when that team is the worst in baseball.

 

[msgkings322]

Thank God for our bullpen

FYWW totally got it done today, without the 2 best guys!

 

[msgkings322]

This is just such a flawed lineup. Boch can bunt with Tehnada there, and then you have Stewart. No good. Then the pitcher's spot. Then Ross.

Exactly. Repped.

While it's true Bochy needs to consider bunting more, in that situation what good does it do?

Totally...I was doing stuff with the kids and playing some hoops.

Checking in on the phone all day. I swear I was ready to call the season over if they lost today. And that wouldn't even be true.

Arizona sucks too.

I don't know much about Eric surkamp but from what I've heard, it sounds like he can do much better than 1 2/3 innings. Lets give this guy a chance.

I think they might. I doubt Runzler gets another start.

I try not to shit my pants on a lot of things going on this year, I'm having trouble with pitchers that can't throw freaking strikes. Walking pitchers and what not

It happens, it's baseball. We're so used to awesome pitching that it feels wrong when they screw up so badly.

 

[BeerMe]

I know were spoiled but it still irritates me.

 

[msgkings322]

I don't usually go to other team's boards, but I bet Dbacks fans are shitting themselves like mad. All 'we can't pick up any ground on the champs, and they are going to get healthy and we will lose! Gibson sucks! Our GM sucks!'

Whenever you think only your team is cursed, or poorly managed, or whatever, just go to another team's board. ALL fans get like that.

Long season, we are the best team in the shitty division....

 

[BeerMe]

I will be stoked if we make the playoffs but I hope we finish strong, I don't wanna feel like the Seahawks of the MLB
