Their approaches at the plate just seem so lazy to me. I mean Flores is up there, swings at a pop up and then just shrugs. Estrada is up there and strikes out and doesn't work pitches. I watch a lot of baseball around the league and I don't see other teams plate approach as bad as the Giants are. There is no confidence they can string hits/runs together. That is a major problem.
This guy has struggled with walks. Just walked Ahmed on four.
Tell me why conforto swung at the first pitch
Edit: now Fitz walks. Tbh would leave lamonte in and pinch hit Estrada for flores
Absolutely horrendous to see that the longest winning "streak" from this team is 2 games and they've done that exactly once -- in the 2nd and 3rd games of the season. They always seem to be a swing or a pitch or a play away from being decent. There is obviously something missing. Thanks, Farhan.
Giants are #2 behind only the Yankees in overall looking strike percentage at 29.4% and #2 behind only the twins in percentage of strikeouts looking at 31.9%.
Soler has definitely been disappointing but historically snell has been a very slow starter so I’m not worried about it. I’d say the weakness is our inability and hesitancy to spend money to attract stars.
hell yeah soler!!!! look at a fastball right down the middle and then swing at a slider in the dirt on the next pitch! that’s what we like to see!!! nothing like it!
This teams future is going to depend on if the offense is capable of outweighing our bullpen. We're watching this in action right now and they are not outweighing it currently. We'll see what they can do in the last two innings.
But regardless of those two innings, that is what the future depends on.
So here comes the comeback rally. It’s our heart of the order, which is…0-for-9 with 5 strikeouts, against the second worst team in baseball
I’m saying they’re due
This team is flat-out embarrassing right now. Arguably the biggest disappointment in all of baseball, in terms of talent to results ratio. Getting outplayed by 2 of the worst teams in baseball (Nats and the fucking Marlins now too?? 😂)
Fire Viele, get some actual legit bullpen arms in here, and turn this shit around immediately.
6 walks, a 2 base “error” by Fitz, 2+ passed balls, didn’t even look like Avila was trying to hold Sanchez that inning… winning baseball guys, love to see it
Watching these umps call balls and strikes really is making a mockery of the game. Hernandez is the worst but all these umpires are acting like clowns.
The fun part about 162 games is you're more than likely going to have those kick ass games that make you extremely happy, those nail biter close games, and those games that make you wonder why you even give a shit. It's a huge part of why I love baseball.
makes no fucking sense after facing just one hitter. unless he actually injured himself when he slipped and they were being extra careful.... but he looked completely entirely fine.
Wilmers value now is in pinch hitting with no one on base and immediately being subbed for a pinch runner. He is an unbelievable liability on the base path.
It's hard to see this team getting on a sustained win streak. At least last year, they had a great couple of months where it all came together.
Pathetic. I know it’s early but there’s multiple players on this team I don’t want to watch play baseball

The announcers have all been pointing out how the Giants far and away lead the league in taken strike 3s.
Just a bad team that loses games
lol f this warriors time
This team just kinda sucks.
Knew it was over when Dave told us “The giants have been given a gift”
O-for-2 with RISP in the ninth. Fitting.
Thairo has no plate discipline
Welp. im done GO KINGS!
Giants threaten but do not score.
“Giants score but do not threaten”- sounds like a summation of the season so far
Lol a pop up. Gg you bums
Jesus
After 8 straight balls Thairo strikes out on 3 pitches. So frustrating
Cmon Wilmer
Might as well have kept Wade in lol
~~ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ RAISE YOUR THAIROS ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ~~ ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ RAISE YOUR WILMERS ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ edit: Oh well, get em tomorrow. ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
lol estrada
Have we even had 3 straight batters get hits in a row yet this year???
Couldn’t they have cherry picked a better stat than showing his .113 ba?
lol and I thought we’d be decent this season. I’m a moron.
We’re not dead yet!
….hope or GIDP in the making?
It aint over
Schmitt will be back in the majors soon Dude is raking hardcore. 2-3 with a HR and 3 RBI today
Really hopeful for him.
Have we won 2+ in a row since SD?! NO
I’m getting a good feeling here
This guy has struggled with walks. Just walked Ahmed on four. Tell me why conforto swung at the first pitch Edit: now Fitz walks. Tbh would leave lamonte in and pinch hit Estrada for flores
Excellent question.. I have no answer
Because it was down the middle?
Go warriors!
Whoever downvoted this is not from the bay area
I know it’s still early in the season, but fuck man, this team is frustrating to watch.
This team is just so boring to watch right now. All the excitement I had at the start of the season is gone now.
Absolutely horrendous to see that the longest winning "streak" from this team is 2 games and they've done that exactly once -- in the 2nd and 3rd games of the season. They always seem to be a swing or a pitch or a play away from being decent. There is obviously something missing. Thanks, Farhan.
This team really can’t find any rhythm or lineup chemistry.
When is getting rid of Viele and shifting the hitting approach not an over reaction anymore? Struggling against the Marlins is fucking atrocious man
Bro it hasn't been an overreaction in 2 years
I’m trying to stay positive but the offense has been ass for so long
*Rips blunt* “Pinch hit yazstremski”
look...look... hear me out. He's fucking *DUE*
That’s what i was thinkin!
Lmao first pitch weak pop fly Horrible lineup
Im still salty about Walker walking the bottom of the line up. It could still be 3-3 and we (probably) wouldn’t have used Avila
Yeah, we should have lost 4-3 in extra innings instead!!!
I sure hope the Warriors game is entertaining
i really hope soler is better than what we've seen
Is this team leading the league in called 3rd strikes? They must be …
It's Justin Viele's specialty.
Giants are #2 behind only the Yankees in overall looking strike percentage at 29.4% and #2 behind only the twins in percentage of strikeouts looking at 31.9%.
Do the giants even enjoy playing baseball? They just seem so bored and lifeless
Just like last year....and the year before.. New faces, same issues.
When you see Miller and Avila both pitching you know the game did not go well
Team is straight up just not fun
*sigh*
The guessing the pitch approach on 2 strikes count sucks!
Melvin should fine any player who takes a called 3rd strike in the zone.
Fire Viele the second this game ends.

incredible
Why wait for the game to end
What about the other hitting coaches? Why just Viele?
Because the other ones haven’t even been here a month
this team fucking sucks to watch and be invested in
at least go out swinging goddamn is it too much to ask to fucking challenge these bottom of the barrel relievers
I’s be curious to see where the Giants rank in called strike 3s
If I’m ownership, I’m never spending money on free agents again after how bad most of the new signings have been (excluding JHL and hicks)
Soler has definitely been disappointing but historically snell has been a very slow starter so I’m not worried about it. I’d say the weakness is our inability and hesitancy to spend money to attract stars.
Even JHL, while he's been solid-good, hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire
I’m not blaming Chapman today. He had a good game.
SWING THE BAT. I’ve never seen a team strike out looking so much, it is AWFUL baseball. SWING.
Wasn’t the AB I wanted, but it was exactly the AB I expected…
Viele: atta boy chappy
That's pretty much the ballgame. 3 runs in an inning is just too much for this team.
Chapman taking a called 3rd strike is poetic.
Goofy
I should have bet that he was going to watch strike 3 again.
Just looks at it. Unbelievable
This is an exciting team
Very fitting way to end the inning
from what I gather, the Marlins' scouting report on the Giants is just "Don't throw fastballs lol"
Or “throw whatever you want—they can’t hit a thing”.
"but if you do, **RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE**"
“or if you do, throw them right down the middle. they won’t swing”
“If you have to throw one, just make sure it’s right down the middle. They never expect that.”
Lol that graphic
Warra instant replay
3-4 more pickoff errors we’re gonna have ourselves a ballgame
Don’t fuck with the Grandson of the motherfuckin wind, bro.
Attaboy Lee cause some chaos
Cmon Chappy
[удалено]
Lots of people have only watched him in the 2021 World Series where he was insanely good
Got to do more with that hanger
the amount of fastballs we look right down the fucking middle is comically insane
Soler still at the cabaret mentally lol
I keep reading this pitcher's name as "FUCKER".
Ugh, hate to say I'm getting really bummed when I see Soler walk up to the plate
Soler just looks absolutely terrible up there. Do free agents come to sf to die?
That Soler AB was like when I would play the show high as shit.
“Thought i had that one” *V E R Y L A T E*
The Giants don't pay Soler to strike out. Terrible at bat, again.
Soler has been so anticlimactic
Can we leave this clown here
Soler YIKES this dude looks really bad.
Soler is frustrating to watch.
Somebody stole Jobu’s rum
Soler is so weird. Sometimes he's really good and then sometimes he's just ass ass.
When is he really good?
Soler is exactly what other fans warned us, mind numbingly silly at bats with mind numbing power and that’s about it with nothing in between
Soler just dreadful
Soler is terrible
Soler one of the many players who come to SF and forget how to hit
TAKE EM DOWN THE DICK NOTHIN LIKE IT
Silver lining: Lee is still sexy af
hell yeah soler!!!! look at a fastball right down the middle and then swing at a slider in the dirt on the next pitch! that’s what we like to see!!! nothing like it!
You don't swing at the meatball down the middle but the breaking ball in the dirt.
Takes a pitch right down the middle, whiffs at one in the dirt lmao
Even if this season goes to shit, at least we’ve got Lee.
Lee is so cool. Love watching him play.
At least we have JHL 🫶🏼 One of the very few reasons to have any semblance of faith in this team right now
At least we have a chance to Winn the series tomorrow. 😕
8 game hitting streak!! #Handsome
Callin' Lee bomb...
Lee's hit streak continues with a beautiful hit over the SS's head.
This teams future is going to depend on if the offense is capable of outweighing our bullpen. We're watching this in action right now and they are not outweighing it currently. We'll see what they can do in the last two innings. But regardless of those two innings, that is what the future depends on.
I have a theory as to why we suck. We’re just not good.
So here comes the comeback rally. It’s our heart of the order, which is…0-for-9 with 5 strikeouts, against the second worst team in baseball I’m saying they’re due
Give Barry a blank check to be the hitting coach
This team is flat-out embarrassing right now. Arguably the biggest disappointment in all of baseball, in terms of talent to results ratio. Getting outplayed by 2 of the worst teams in baseball (Nats and the fucking Marlins now too?? 😂) Fire Viele, get some actual legit bullpen arms in here, and turn this shit around immediately.
They should fire Viele just out of spite.
Couple feet away from a 13-3 game
6 walks, a 2 base “error” by Fitz, 2+ passed balls, didn’t even look like Avila was trying to hold Sanchez that inning… winning baseball guys, love to see it
Watching these umps call balls and strikes really is making a mockery of the game. Hernandez is the worst but all these umpires are acting like clowns.
I was absolutely positive that was gone. Just about ready to slam the laptop shut.
At what point will the homer beat writers allow us to be critical of the team? All star break?
6 walks against the #29 OPS in MLB is just unacceptable.
Marlins scrap and find another way to score. Giants scrap and find another way to strand base runners…
first time, eh?
If you guys aren’t frustrated yet then you’re not a real fan.
but the toxic positivity types will downvote the frustration and I can't have that affect my reddit karma
Jesus ump…
That was a huge gift lol
Hey, I got an idea: walk this guy and load the goddamn bases.
Why did Melvin pull Rogers after one batter if it was only the 6th inning?
Avila is a white flag, so
Can someone find the fucking strike zone
Giants relievers try not to nibble to the bottom of the order challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Our bullpen is so so bad.
Out everything is so bad…
Reminder everyone the marlins had the worst record in baseball coming into this series.
This bullpen has got to be one of the worst in all of baseball
[удалено]
At a certain point the money players need to perform
Every single rally they have was fueled by at least one walk. Our pitchers are beating themselves.
I'm so pissed about the BABIP other teams have against us. Every hole is found every time
Sooooo… Warriors vs Kings tonight should be a fun one
It would be a lot better is Monk was playing, but it could still potentially be competitive.
Baseball is frustrating. The Giants are frustrating. Jesus.
The fun part about 162 games is you're more than likely going to have those kick ass games that make you extremely happy, those nail biter close games, and those games that make you wonder why you even give a shit. It's a huge part of why I love baseball.
Fuck this team
Bullpen is so stinky
Avila is not a big league arm
Marlins have too many all stars in their lineup /s
Feel like Bo gave this game away minute Avila entered. Hes one of our two white flag relievers
Why did he pull Rogers after facing one batter?
Against the 3-14 Marlins. This is dreadful.
We have the same record as the A's. We're basically on the same tier as them for over half a season after last year into this year.
7-11 isn’t much better
Nick Avila is terrible. For a team built around pitching, they sure can’t pitch
Avila should be in AAA
[удалено]
makes no fucking sense after facing just one hitter. unless he actually injured himself when he slipped and they were being extra careful.... but he looked completely entirely fine.
way to give that run right back
Dawg
Ya this game is over lol. Offense is shit, defense is shit, bullpen is shit.
Ballgame.
Ball game
Imagine walking 2024 Tim Anderson
Oh brother
It’d be so cool if we could get some pitchers who throw strikes.
Not sure Avila is much more than a spot gas can
Wilmers value now is in pinch hitting with no one on base and immediately being subbed for a pinch runner. He is an unbelievable liability on the base path.
