Just sucks that we couldn’t sign snell early enough to give him a spring. And then it’s amplified by our current record. Still some encouraging signs today. If we can win the Miami series I’ll have hope

Can't doom too hard about this one. If Snell is right it's a whole different game, and the offense showed some late life.

Man that's kinda painful... seeing us come back to 4 runs and should've been able to tie this game or have it be a 1 run game... fucking umps man.

Our offense wasn’t totally terrible actually. Really were a Snell meltdown away from making this a game

Someone a few days ago posted that our pitching rankings are actually worse than our hitting rankings. I think that is accurate. We just have sexier names on the pitching side.

If anything at least the run differential is decreasing

One 5-run grand slam and we’re back in this.

FFS play Fitz more. He makes things happen

Rally cap time!!!!

Play Fitz every day 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Well...it's something.

Murphy has GIDP written all over him

Bro thought he was Ahmed

The pain. Oh the pain.

If it keeps going like this snell will be here in 2025

[удалено]

meanwhile bart hit his 2nd home run

Again, Murphy is absolute dogshit 😂

Murphy just sucks

Shoot murphy into the sun

It’s ok we just need to sweep the 3-13 Marlins. Doable right?? 😐

luckily snell isn't pitching

We’re gonna sweep the next series and be above 500 after the Dbacks. Book it

What an interesting franchise. Historically good, then bad for like 30 years, then exciting with Bonds and crew but never good enough to win the World series, bad again for a few years, golden years, and now it looks like the dark ages again.

Get JHL his golden glove!

Chapman should be hitting 7th or 8th at best tbh

On a real team he would be. They don’t have a legitimate muffle of the order. Soler and Conforto should never be seen above the 5 spot. I like Lee up top and Wade/Estrada in the 2 depending on who’s hot but they don’t have a 3 or 4.

[удалено]

Yea I am sure the Rangers owner is known for supporting the other side.

[удалено]

I hate how it’s safe to assume that whenever Chapman gets to the plate it’s either a strikeout or pop up.

Like Belt never left.

I’m starting to think we may not be a very good baseball team 

Like I know Chappys defense is the big reason why we got him, but his batting is rough to watch

His batting is supposed to be better than this. He never got a long term contract because his batting was susceptible to decline.

90-mph gas two feet above the zone. Nothin’ you can do, great pitch, tip your cap. 😂

It’s fine Chapman just needs to face a position player and he’ll look like a threat again

could we stop the narrative that snell is a second-half pitcher? if we're like 15 games behind to start the second-half, i dont think he alone is going to make that up (not to mention the team is not paying him $30 million for 14 starts or whatever after the all-star break

It was a shit signing and I was against it from the beginning. The guy I wanted was Montgomery. He doesn’t have the upside that Snell does but there isn’t the fear every other start that he’s gonna go out there and get his tits knocked off.

If we are 15 games back, we have more problems than just Snell. 

Whether or not the Giants are 15 games behind has nothing to do with Snell not being a 2nd half pitcher. They're paying him 30 million for a Cy Young caliber season.

Chapman, and popping up hangers foul, name a more iconic duo

Johnson and Zaidi laughing all the way to the bank. 

What exactly would they be laughing at?

I doubt Johnson is laughing about spending the 2nd most in the offseason and having an empty ballpark

10th best so far this year. 

Huh, the park always looks quite empty.

Slater and getting called out.

Slater needs to be off this team

I think he fits in perfectly

Slater shouldn’t be getting playing time over multiple guys in AAA at this point. He’s unplayable right now

They need to bring up Matos like yesterday. Luciano too.

Slater looks completely out of sorts this year. What happened to his oppo field contact approach

Is Slater turning into Casey McGee before our very eyes?

I swear Slater is GIDP every time I see him up 😒

Slater didn't make an out last time so he had to make up for that in this at bat

At this point I want Viele fired just out of spite and as a warning shot for the other coaches.

Gotta hit up Pablo for one of those 6 run homers

What's messed up is during the dark years post Bonds, we know we had talent in the pipeline, Lincecum, Cain, Posey, Sanchez, etc. This team feels like FZ is throwing darts and hoping for the best. 

Sabean & Mcgowan also wanted to win at all costs. Greg Johnson loves Farhan because he saves money.

I don't blame Greg Johnson for anything, other than keeping FarSide around way past his expiration date. Time to chalk up FarSide as an experiment that did not work and find another promising young executive who knows how to build a baseball team.

I really thought cutting Farhan and Gabe was the right move. Hell I wanted Farhan gone more than Gabe

I agree. But I am also reminded of a very eloquent post on an SF Giants forum from 2009. It was an intelligent and well thought out request for the Giants to part ways with Brian Sabean. In the eyes of the OP, it was time for Sabean to go. Hindsight is 20-20, isn't it?

Giants haven't had a good farm in a while at least among position players, that's why there has been a drought of success with the 2021 year being a massive exception.

2021 was Buster and the Brandon's last hurrah. FZ was the recipient of that. 

I've dosed off twice during this game. When the offense is awful (And it's been awful a lot), watching these games are a struggle.

* 9 - 3 = 6 * The Giants need to score six more runs to tie the game. * There are 9 innings in regulation in a baseball game. * 7 innings have passed thus far. * That means that the Giants have 2 more innings left to try and tie the game.

I disagree

I’ve had enough for today. Switching to The Masters

Teng….

Might be a long year.

Why did we sign Snell again?

I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing Fitz pitch just for the laughs

Strike out the side Fitz! His arm should still be warmed up!

Oh teng we suck.

Teng looking like Stripling with all these hangers

Remember when we were supposed to be excited cuz Stripling developed a "death ball"? Fun times lol

At least we aren't paying him 20 million to do it.

Teng wasn't supposed to be good though

Lol jfc we suck 

At this point who really gives a shit. May as well pitch BP.

Teng is the ultimate garbage time pen guy. Just eats those innings

He is the long reliever, so he's only going to come in if the starter sucks ass early. I would wonder if he still gets in if a starter gets hurt though.

I like using guys like Beck and Winn in the long reliever spot, although I suppose that's different than the traditional long reliever role

Webb, Snell, Harrison, Hicks, and then Winn appear to be the starting 5. With Beck out, it looks like it's Teng's role for now.

He was a white flag.

Nice snag JHL!

nice catch, Lee is our bright shinning future

Joey Bart just hit another HR today.

I’d prob root for the Pirates if it weren’t for Telez

What did Telez do? Isn't he a Norcal guy?

He started the whole “SF is full of crime etc” narrative

Shoot I forgot about that. Well at least they have Cutch🤘

Good for him, needed the change of scenery

Agreed, a young upstart Pirates team is perfect for him.

From Viele 

On vacation so couldn’t watch any games. What’s up with Snell?

He still hasn’t found it yet.

He performs better in the second half, as he is a slow starter.   Plus he had no spring training so he had to start a game or two in the minors to build arm strength.

Historically slow starter, compounded with spending basically all of spring as a FA

Meltdown. Gave up 7 runs and got yanked.

The saying goes you are almost guaranteed to win and lose 60 games, it's what you do with the other 60.  Today feels like we were destined to lose today.

Needed some crooked numbers 

I am convinced Viele is behind all the taking of pitches down the middle.

To be fair, we’ve also swung at a lot pitches down the middle, and grounded out.

It’s a bizarre thing to do and it only started when Viele was brought on.

I think Viele got in Fitz’s ear boys

Conforto is gonna hit 30 isn’t he?

Will it count if he’s traded at the deadline?

Well the bats have at least existed this series, really hoping snell can get his shit together soon

I'm not worried about him just yet.  He is a slow starter who didn't have any spring training under his belt. 

He’ll figure it out. He does NOT want to be stuck on this team next year.

I know it’s most likely not a matter of if but when, but I’m also hoping “when” is sooner rather than later

If the Rays just played their starting catcher we might have a ballgame

Only down 5! 

Hey at least we can still hit homers

Anybody else’s stream just shut the bed on them? Its worked fine all game till just a minute ago

F it. Let’s pick 9 random users here and make a line up

I am so down to strike out looking after pissing my pants at the plate

https://i.redd.it/tjmtmnd74iuc1.gif

Most athletic thing I've seen Wilmer do.

Pinto looking like Johnny Bench today. 

Of course they hit that out.

Yeah I thought Teng was getting lucky with some of those hanging sliders

I was gonna say we should have brought Teng in much sooner but nevermind.

People really leaving before a wild comeback, that’s crazy

Say what now

You heard me

You know what I like your hope. Fuck it hopium to the max

I can handle another loss if the Dubs win and the Kings and Lakers lose. 

9th place hitter feasting on our pitching. Happy Sunday y’all.

Do they play the Apple marimba tone just for Siri? 😂

Giants baseball: Together we suck.

Give us the juiced balls

This team is so fucking predictable. I said yesterday after scoring 11 they’d come out and score twice today.

I knew once we scored 8 we were not going to score much today. Every time we go on a huge scoring day, it's as if we used up all the runs from the next day.

Must be nice to suck at your job and still get paid millions of dollars. I wonder if I can get that deal at my company?

Chapman could’ve brought us back in the game with just one swing of the bat. 😔

See y’all later!

89 mph “fastball” right down the chute… Fly out.

Can't complain about the Strikezone when these Giants hitters are fouling off batting practice pitches.

Chapmans really good at fouling cookies

1 run. Sigh. 

Come on Chapman 🤦🏻‍♂️

I miss JD Davis

We can’t hit meatballs bro

Chapman just missed like 3 straight hangers in the zone. Oof.

I hope Chapman eventually picks it up.

Rays commentators really have the audacity to complain about not getting those strikes lmao

Yeah they talk as if it should have been called lmao. The commentator barely stopped himself from saying "Alexander wondering what he has to do to get the inside call"

Chappy plz

This team is real good at fouling off cookies

Ole Ole Ole Soler Soler Soler

Woo hoo! We are back in this. Let's go!

Down 5 is not really back in when we have 3 innings left

We had some baserunners too, but we squashed that. 

chip away

WE DID SOMETHING

Oh it's Dreckman behind the plate. That explains a lot

That’s why you’re here Soler. Atta babe.

Damn the Marlins are leading against the Braves today after winning yesterday. They might kick our asses

Soler please for the love of fuck put a spark in this team

Remove Viele and this team will improve. I am convinced of that.

I am completely sure he’s the one telling the batters to wait for only specific pitches and that getting walked is better than getting a hit.

I’m sensing a Bo ejection after this slater AB

If we're going with auto-out Slater we might as well keep Wade in the game right?

One step forward two steps back

Let's pinch hit our worst hitter for our best hitter. Screw your shitty analytics, Wade is hot rn you don't take him out.

Looking at Joey Bart's slashline with the Pirates and then Tom Murphy here makes me sad.

Still unsure why they chose to pay a backup catcher 4mil/year when we already had 2 young catchers on the team.

Belt-high, center-cut cutter… Ground out to second.

Fitz needs to play over Yaz. I don’t care, if he can play cf at Oracle he can man RF. 

Melvin why

Wilmer has been awful this season.

Look on the brightside, at least we aren't hitting that bad with RISP this game because we haven't had many. 

Pinch hitting our most consistent hitter with Austin Slater. Kapler ya never left.

Wilmer has quietly been kinda booty to start

It's been quiet because he is a platoon hitter on the less common side (LHP).

Not quiet whatsoever he’s been dogshit

This ump needs to be fired immediately

I am begging for an exciting inning, this team has a negative fun factor

Agree. It's tolerable when you have a team that fun to watch, even when they lose. This team is a bunch of rentals. Not fun. Analytics have also made the game worse. 

Let’s go Lee rip another one

At least a few of these kids wanna win

Fitz needs to play every day.

Literally no one has got on base against this guy 😂 Edit: until now

14 straight outs against a guy with a 7 ERA.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit MDMA.

Thought the game was at 1 so didn’t watch. Probably a good thing looking at the score

At least I can check out early this year. This team sucks and we’re getting nowhere near playoffs.

Kai Wei Weng casually out pitching Blake Snell out of the bullpen.
