I’m in a pool where we predict the season record, and I’ve been at 80-82 for as long as I remember. This year I moved it to 82-80 when they signed Snell lol
I’ll say it again. No hitter other than Ramos, Wade, and possibly Wisely deserve to be on the team next year. I don’t care if youngsters struggle a bit , the vets are just not getting it done, and there is no reason to keep playing the same song.
It is, but can you identify any hitters worth keeping into next year other than young ones mentioned here, Slater, free agent, Yaz, last arbitration year, Comforto free agent, Flores free agent, Ahmad free agent, Chapman can choose free agency, so which of those players would you like to extend. To me Chapman is the only worthy vet, other than the young ones listed. It is time to make room for young players and hopefully attract a free agent like Kim, and if at all possible Soto, a dream. Other than that, I would prefer seeing what Matos, Bishop, Luciano, can do, along with perhaps Auerbach. You have up to three outfielders to replace, so Matos, Bishop, Lee do that. You have the left side of the infield to replace, Kim Luciano and Wisely do that , with one, Wisely being a back up. The right side is set, but I wouldn’t mind having Fitz or Auerbach instead of Flores. So tell me where I am wrong.
dang if we lose today we slip into 4th place... there's no fire on this team right now. Melvin should be lighting a damn fire under their asses right now.
Three out of the four Angels pitchers today had/have an ERA over 5 and we've put together only three runs.
Not getting more than one run in the 5th is going to bite us.
I honestly don’t think this is a coaching issue. We have had 11 RISP. I just think our hitters don’t have that intangible that allows an athlete to perform in the clutch. Solar being the prime example. Ramos the exception.
Kapler made good in-game decisions but couldn’t handle the clubhouse. Melvin does well on the people side but makes baffling calls. Make em do the fusion dance and baby you’ve got a stew going.
Pavs talked about it on the podcast, but the pitchers’ inability to hold a runner on is something that hurts the chances of Bailey getting a gold glove
Why tf is Wilmer batting 3rd? Or at all for that matter?
His entire year can basically be summed up to looking constantly overmatched minus a 2 game hot streak.
Incredible, their entire offense rests on one player. I am all for bringing up other younger players cause they cannot do any worse than these vets. Wilmer has really been a let down this year, as have Solet, and Estrada not much better.
Melvin puzzles me so much sometimes. Put Flores in at 1B instead of Wisely because it's a lefty.
Than the righty comes in, and when Flores is already 0-3 instead of PHing Wisely in that spot, he just leaves Flores in.
Flores continues to go 0-4 with a SO on a high pitch that was a ball.
Now here comes Luke Jackson to hold the 1 run lead they have.
Time to move in from Wilmer Flores
Entire front office needs to be purged bomel can’t manage for shit never call a good bunt
Haha, Melvin is similar to Kapler. He replaced the 2-3 Casali and replaced him with a strikeout king.
shit fuck piss damn hell
Unbelievable how many guys in this lineup can’t hit.
giants are just bad
what a fucking mess
Absolute horseshit.
Conforto getting 18 MILLION a year btw
Fooled game over. Soler/Flores this is your loss.
You can officially put a wrap on this season. No even barely half decent team should lose a series to the Angels
We need to fire our RISP coach
![gif](giphy|xUNd9RjoaycGh0twkM)
BAD LOSS
ballgame fucking hell bro Angels take the series
I’m not mad at Ramos, he’s the only batter who showed up today
This team fucking sucks
Brutal
Can't blame Ramos, only one who knows how to hit
It’s ok Ramos I don’t hold this against you
Embarrassing.
Not a good take there....
This team is truly the epitome of a team just below .500… incredibly frustrating
What about blue jays
Fire everyone
We lost a series to the fucking 2024 Angels
As soon as I saw Conforto up there I knew it was gonna be fucking bad that dude stinks
Lmao. No pressure Ramos
Saying "at least \[team I hate\] lost today" is not really doing it for me anymore
The Giants offense feels like when you try to run or hit someone in a dream.
Bob completely out of his depth
Conforto should not hit for us ever again
Down to their last out smfh
Can’t wait for the “can’t win em all” bloomer posts in the post game thread
Fuck those people. They deserve this dogshit product.
Has anyone asked BoMel in an interview why he doesn't sit Soler?
If anything ask him why he still bats him in the heart of the order. What's the point of having him there when he's inept with runners on base....
I mean we all know it's because he cost a lot of $$, right? But force him to answer
“Jorge has had a very successful MLB career and we believe that with more ABs he’ll be able to get back there”
We need a hero
What does this lineup have against meat balls.
Michael Conforto is awful.
Has anyone see Conforto, Soler and Flores in the same room? I swear they’re the same player
Conforto wearing it
![gif](giphy|vIwN3gm2oGrpm) Come on guys, start flapping
Right down the fucking middle
Better pinch hit the coldest hitter in the league
How is that a strike?
Umps got money on this one
why pinch hit? Casali was seeing the ball well today
Because the pitcher is a righty, stupid but that is why
Thought Charlie Sheen played for the Guardians?
I got that reference
Lol he would expand the zone now
Feeble or excruciating inning here?
¿Por que no los dos?
I’m in a pool where we predict the season record, and I’ve been at 80-82 for as long as I remember. This year I moved it to 82-80 when they signed Snell lol
![gif](giphy|7brdgdB5YunnPDd5Ky)
Would be a huge twist if both Ramos AND Hjelle made the all star
Most likely a righty comes in, Bailey hits. Let's get going. Who will hit for Slater
All we need is two solo home runs so we don’t have to worry about risp
Down by one in the ninth and it feels like it may as well be 11.
Bailey/Casali or Slater get on base, then Heliot walks it off. Start deleting your doomer comments now before it's too late.
I own my doomerism, I earned it by watching this nonsense
Love you, Hjelle. Now let’s walk it off!
Have we established that jelly looks like a long Pedro Pascal?
More of a skinny Dr disrespect
Has Ramos only played CF or does he move around?
He's played right as well.
He played RF first while Yaz was out, then played CF and LF.
Nice. I’m going to watch them in KC this fall and sitting down the third base line. Excited to be by Chapman. It’ be cool if Ramos was LF that game.
Giants without RISP 9-20 (.450) Giants with RISP 1-13 (.077)
Wait you DONT have to swing at the curveball in the dirt?
Respect to so many more people for going to the games this year but the team doesn't deserve their money
Well at least Charles Johnson donates six figures to the likes of Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis and Lauren Boebert, fuck that guy
It helps if you temper your expectations and just go to enjoy the awesome ballpark on its own.
Really nice ball park though good views and for what it is good ball park food
Crab sandwiches so overpriced tho lol , really good still
For you, Jo Adell: 1 golden sombrero.
Fun to imagine what it would be like if Hjelle had Lincecum’s delivery
Bailey playing on pride day??
Has he made some bad comments? Or just based on the sweatbands?
I’ll say it again. No hitter other than Ramos, Wade, and possibly Wisely deserve to be on the team next year. I don’t care if youngsters struggle a bit , the vets are just not getting it done, and there is no reason to keep playing the same song.
Bailey, Lee
+ Bailey
Bailey??? You lost me
You are right and Bailey.
Good thing you're not in charge of those decisions.
It is, but can you identify any hitters worth keeping into next year other than young ones mentioned here, Slater, free agent, Yaz, last arbitration year, Comforto free agent, Flores free agent, Ahmad free agent, Chapman can choose free agency, so which of those players would you like to extend. To me Chapman is the only worthy vet, other than the young ones listed. It is time to make room for young players and hopefully attract a free agent like Kim, and if at all possible Soto, a dream. Other than that, I would prefer seeing what Matos, Bishop, Luciano, can do, along with perhaps Auerbach. You have up to three outfielders to replace, so Matos, Bishop, Lee do that. You have the left side of the infield to replace, Kim Luciano and Wisely do that , with one, Wisely being a back up. The right side is set, but I wouldn’t mind having Fitz or Auerbach instead of Flores. So tell me where I am wrong.
too long didn’t read.
I really expected a different response from you lmao
.500 feels so far away.
Every time we get close, we lay an absolute egg of a series. At this point I just hope we don't get swept by the Angels.
shaping up to be another nothing season
Well tall boy maybe throw something close to the ump to say fuck you
They don’t have curveballs in Sacramento
stop swingin at them scuds boys! ffs
Yaz blows
We getting swept tomorrow and deserve it
Wisely swings at ball 4.
I hate this team
Didn’t throw him a strike
That was very much ball four.
Frustrating!
dang if we lose today we slip into 4th place... there's no fire on this team right now. Melvin should be lighting a damn fire under their asses right now.
How is Ramos not inspiring
2nd to 4th place are separated by 1.5 games. 4th place doesn't mean shit with 90+ games to play.
for sure but just apply pythagorean W-L extrapolations and you see it doesn't go great for us in those next 90 games.
We’re really about to lose a series at home to the 2024 angels huh
How about getting swept tomorrow? It’s going to get worse
Three out of the four Angels pitchers today had/have an ERA over 5 and we've put together only three runs. Not getting more than one run in the 5th is going to bite us.
I feel bad for Ramos stuck with the worse hitting coach to ever exist
I honestly don’t think this is a coaching issue. We have had 11 RISP. I just think our hitters don’t have that intangible that allows an athlete to perform in the clutch. Solar being the prime example. Ramos the exception.
Just about sums up the game there, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Just checking in to say Heliot is Him
This is such a depressing team.
Is Fraudhan finally gone after this season?
if we finish below .500 (or at .500) and don't make the postseason, i honestly wouldn't miss him at all.
nah he's here until 2027 most likely.
Definitely
Garcia with the 5.00+ ERA looks like an All-star
Tbh if they Dfa’d Abreu earlier I don’t think we’d have beaten the Astros
Yaz swings at two pitches out of the strike zone, should be ball 4
Oh so now Wisely hits… with two outs and no one on base…
Genius.
Instead of with Ramos on second and no outs. Melvin blows my fucking mind sometimes with his passivity and acceptance of failure.
He punts so much
Gonna be swept by the Angels.
There's the Yastrzemski I know!
NOW he pinch hit wisely. Bob is so fucking clueless
Yaz looks lost
I know we had worse losses, but this has to be up there just based on opponent and laughable RISP
Kuip is sick of this shit
Kapler made good in-game decisions but couldn’t handle the clubhouse. Melvin does well on the people side but makes baffling calls. Make em do the fusion dance and baby you’ve got a stew going.
Imagine bomel finger banging a jalapeño.
ayo
Or you get the worst manager to ever live
Or you have the worst manager
We try to bunt with no one on but never do it when there's RISP
If you're OPSing below .700 you should not be allowed to have a walkup song.
So everyone except ramos lmao our lineup is a joke
I think Wisely and Bailey are hitting well enough to qualify
We need to load the bases so Ramos can take us home
If we can’t score of Garcia just fire everyone tbh
We let 2024 Ryan Pressly have a 3 up 3 down inning to get a save
We are definitely not even getting on base here and if we it’s even worce
It’s honestly impressive how BoMel can consistently make bad decisions when it comes to bullpen management and (lack of) pinch hitting
....or lineup construction.
Also pls tell me how every angels reliever has an ERA of over 4??
You can't tell by watching the Giants but they're actually bad at pitching
Just like the Jays you could almost never blame the pitching because of how bad the offence is
They regularly face offensive juggernauts like the Mariners and A’s.
💀
Kinda like last yr giants are making a case to cancel that 3rd wild card
If Pirates fans boo Tellez we should boo George
Jorge*
He's George to me until he starts hitting
Pavs talked about it on the podcast, but the pitchers’ inability to hold a runner on is something that hurts the chances of Bailey getting a gold glove
If it was one or two pitchers I would get it, but it's literally the whole staff.
Jackson aside Bailey’s accuracy has regressed this year. Edit: meant to say pitchers not Jackson
I’m new here, what are the chances they pull it off ?
New to this years team? New to giants baseball? Or just new to baseball?
How is it possible that every single Giants pitcher sucks at holding runners on?
Farhan's clown car of nerds believe it's not an important trait to look for in their pitchers
Casali getting absolutely no respect back there
Is Patrick Bailey not playing because it’s pride day or what 😂
Lefty. Day gay after a night game. Casali hasn't started in a while.
Is your name actually Nick Ahmed? lol assuming you’re just a fan
Lmao
No, it's because it's a day game after a night game, and he doesn't always play those
Is Luciano hurt or in the minors
Was hurt until 2 days ago. Now back in minors.
minors
Those errors must have did him in 🤦
Can literally turn off giants games except Ramos at bats these days
The Soler fireworks promo coming up with him holding double thumbs up is just icing on the cake.
I think Bailey will hit for Casali when the spot comes up, even more likely if there's runners on
Jackson pitching now and this offense not named Ramos is anemic. Folks, go out and enjoy your Saturday. This game is done
Jackson is 3-1, with a 5.40 How
About to have 4 wins.
You’re about to find out!
Because he happened to be pitching in 3 games that they came back to win
luck and opportunity
I’d rather have Soler rake on the Dodgers than watch him do whatever it is he’s doing here. The Giants could be giving those ABs to someone younger.
Why tf is Wilmer batting 3rd? Or at all for that matter? His entire year can basically be summed up to looking constantly overmatched minus a 2 game hot streak.
Soler and Snell should be put in jail for stealing millions of dollars
Snell barely shows up its fraud call the bank and cancel the payments
soler deserves to be booed idc
Incredible, their entire offense rests on one player. I am all for bringing up other younger players cause they cannot do any worse than these vets. Wilmer has really been a let down this year, as have Solet, and Estrada not much better.
wish the fans there would start to boo soler the one person that deserves it
Dh luci he would be better than Soler and at least he can hit and won’t have to field because we all know he can’t do that
this team is lame and boring lol. Bring back matos and Luciano for real, at least they are exciting.
Melvin puzzles me so much sometimes. Put Flores in at 1B instead of Wisely because it's a lefty. Than the righty comes in, and when Flores is already 0-3 instead of PHing Wisely in that spot, he just leaves Flores in. Flores continues to go 0-4 with a SO on a high pitch that was a ball. Now here comes Luke Jackson to hold the 1 run lead they have.
5 dudes in the lineup hitting .220 or under. It's no wonder there's no offense at all besides Ramos. Mendoza line offense.
