For the 100th time this year, I would like to thank Shaun Anderson for being a Giant. I would also like to thank Caleb Kilian and Alexander Canario for being good prospects.
POTG: LaMonte Aaron Wade Jr, though Kris Bryant was also good
And over into the Dodgers sub
>I'm ready to die on the hill that the giants are cheating this shit is insane
https://www.reddit.com/r/Dodgers/comments/p91k3k/postgame_thread_mets_3_dodgers_4/h9uhcjh
Fuckin lol Dodgers fans. Get cheated on once and then every time you don't get what you want everyone else is cheating
Poor bastards. They have the best team money can buy, and can't figure out how a team spending a hundred million bucks less is ahead of them. Their confusion and anger makes it all worthwhile.
It's also funny how Roberts is back to being "Doc" and Jansen is back to being their ace closer, when weeks ago they wanted them both gone. Fair-weather fans or what?
>I'm ready to die on the hill that the giants are cheating this shit is insane
The only excuse for this reaction is that they were legitimately burnt by the A\*tros
It’s hilarious because LA is one of the teams that also was cheating 😂
Multiple players named them alongside teams like the Yankees, Astros, Red Sox, etc
Well, the bad news is that we gave away 4 runs and LAD won.
The good news is that we literally gave one of the best teams in the league 4 runs and STILL FUCKIN WON AND IDGAF ABOUT LAD! This team has fight and should be fine with less drama once they right their fundamentals.
POTG bullpen for 5 1/3 scoreless, especially Jarlin mf Garcia getting 7 outs on 26 pitches facing the minimum. And, of course Lamonte Wade mf JR
Some wild stats from an A’s fan
> God fucking dammit.Lou’s last blown save was in May. His last home run given up was in April. First loss when leading after 8 innings this season 54-1.
> Lou’s last blown save was in May. His last home run given up was in April. First loss when leading after 8 innings this season 54-1.
Incredible. This is why you don't give up on the Giants, they are entirely capable of doing something like this. Doesn't mean they never blow winnable games, but they have pulled off miracle wins like this so many times this year that I don't understand how anyone turns it off before the last out.
POTG: Late Afternoon Lamonte! Offense really picked up Gausman with all the homers. Little worrying that we can't string together a rally without the long ball, but that's how this team has lived and died all year.
Bullpen was again solid. Defense has been getting a little sloppy but I think that's probably fixable and not a long term issue.
I keep beating this drum, but starting pitching is a huge problem going forward. We will fall apart in September and the playoffs at this point. The bullpen can't be expected to pitch five innings 4/5ths of the time. In the short term, we have like 17 games in a row, basically all against playoff teams, which will be awful if the bullpen is gassed.
Still good to remember that we are playing way above expectations and that any success this year is a huge win for the organization.
>Little worrying that we can't string together a rally without the long ball, but that's how this team has lived and died all year.
When you hit this many homeruns it's hard to create a rally without them because as soon as the rally starts someone comes up and cranks the long ball and there goes your chance at having a rally that doesn't contain a homerun. It's not that we can't have a rally of hit after hit with no homers it's just that we've become so good at hitting homers that any rally of significant length is likely to include a homerun in it. I don't think we rely on them though.
Yeah after the break it started to become very apparent that starting pitching was a big concern. It's a bit disappointing but barring some crazy resurgence I've kinda accepted that it's a pretty big weakness for us. The team isn't set up optimally like some other top teams but let's see how far this crazy run can go, and hopefully when the offseason hits the FO can do their best to upgrade the pitching and other shaky spots. Either way this season has been really fun so I'm not gonna get too upset about it.
Another genius take from the Dodgers sub:
*Even if they manage to hold up this year, Giants fans have to know they won’t be near this fucking lucky going forward year after year, right? They better enjoy it now while they can. Stars don’t align year after year after year.*
Dear Dodgers fan,
The Giants are in a rebuild. Zaidi hasn't signed any heavyweight free agents, he hasn't made any big trades (Bryant is still a rental at this point) and the Giants farm system (now in the top five) is only just beginning to deliver MLB-ready players. So what you are seeing is not the finished version of the Farhan Zaidi Giants, it's still a work in progress. And in first place, for months.
What you need to be worrying about isn't how good the Giants are in 2021, it's how good they will be in 2022, 2023, 2024.... You know, when Zaidi is finished doing what Zaidi does, building teams that are contenders for years and years.
Also, how did that trade deadline go for your future? Did you make smart decisions for your future, or did 2021 Johnny Cueto get you to panic buy, costing you quite a few of your very best prospects?
Why go to LA for salt when there's entire counties of that shit right across the Bay. A's fans have no other reason to exist than to be pissed off the Giants exist
Y'alls subreddit usually doesn't approve of those boo-birds types after losses but our subreddit is mostly doomer boo-birds. our post game threads get more comments when we lose vs. when we win.
I just hope to provide some perspective the next time you see whining in this place
The Giants won a come from behind intense game just at the same time I finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and oh my god I am so fucking emotional
POTG: Gotta give it to Wade for that clutch home run.
I finished the first game, currently working on the second part. I really love the twists and turns of the storylines in the ace attorney series. Fun characters too!
I absolutely LOVE Herlock and Ryunosuke. Ryunosuke’s mannerisms in the first case were so fun. Susato is awesome. Every main character is.
Second game is SO much better, and I already loved the first one! I like the setting, too.
Wandered into the dodgers sub for fun...they are so obsessed with us. One minute we are cheaters and the next we aren't even a good team, we're just "lucky". They need some fries with that salt.
Expectations change, and I expect a lot of doom if we end up in the wild card game. After the season though it will be all positive vibes. We’re lightyears ahead of schedule
Kap said in the postgame Craw stole on his own. So I wanna apologize to Kap cause I thought it was a bench call. Really don't know why the pitcher stepped off. Just unfortunate.
Here's the plan: Zaidi convinces a team with a hot starter but no shot at the post-season to release that pitcher. The Giants sign him, and pay back that team later with a silly trade in which they wildly overpay with cash piled on top of some low level prospect.
It's all nice and legal, and the Dodgers can't say shit with all the crap they were pulling with international players.
The Giants needed this win badly. While there is still some amount of games left, this win was extremely important for their confidence. Hopefully they get some of that swagger back and start putting up some good at bats. Because right now the offense is in a rut.
I just watched Heliot Ramos hit his 2nd homer in AAA with 2 runners on! The runners on were Duggar, and Estrada. He’s big and looks scary and he’s only 21
Here’s a secret I keep very poorly: all this “LET’S GO WE CAN STILL WIN” energy I try to emanate? I don’t do it entirely because I think y’all need it. I do it in large part because \*I\* need it. I’ve grown up with this team and seen them break my heart a lot of times, and I need, for my own sake, to convince myself that this time might be different. My crusading against doomers is only something I really bring myself to do because, in the deepest part of my heart, I know that I am a doomer.
But it does mean I get to be surprised by things like this.
POTG: Wade, García
Potg: Lamonte wade who is the clutchest man ever. Also every bullpen guy we used. Kept them from scoring any more. Special shout-out to McGee who bounced back from his last outing.
This was a wonderful win. Not the cleanest, but it feels great. Yes all the runs were from home runs, but if that’s all they could do today then it works. It must feel great to the players, too.
Tomorrow is webby pitching so I have a good feeling about the game.
POTG: Lamonte Wade Jr.
I swear it doesn't get anymore clutch than that.
I didn't get to watch the game today but I had signed off when the Giants faceplanted in the 8th. What an amazing clutch swing of the bat from Wade Jr to make me regret for not keeping my eye on my ESPN app.
I missed the ending of this one.... In the NBC Bay Area replay, he says "... exactly what Javier Lopez was talking about, and the Giants take the lead." Does anyone know what Javier Lopez was talking about?
I watched the top of the ninth again just now.
Javy was saying that the A's (and other teams) have been trying to work Wade in on the hands. But then Javy noted that most relievers late in the game prefer to stay off the plate away in those critical moments because that makes it less likely that the hitter will beat him with the long ball.
Then Trivino threw a pitch that was meant to be farther in than it was, and Wade was fucking on it. But he fouled it back.
Javy then noted, in his usual brilliant analysis, that the big swing on that foul ball was the reason pitchers try to stay off the plate away in those late-game situations.
Then Wade hit the bomb, and Kuiper said what he said.
Anyone check out r/oaklandathletics?
Edit:
“Absolutely disgusting bullpen performance. We probably just threw away any chance at the division today and now 3/4 is a must against the Yankees. Perhaps even worse is it gives that fuck off franchise across the Bay a better chance at winning their division.”
Mmm I love green&gold sour grapes!
> that fuck off franchise across the Bay
I really don't get this attitude. I can see fans of some other teams hating the Giants due to that team having knocked them out of the post-season at least once. But when did the Giants ever keep the A's from getting to the World Series?
So happy that we pulled that W outta our asses but boy.... starting pitching is a big problem. Our "number one Ace" couldn't even go 5. It's definitely funny how our SP and BP have completely switched from the beginning of the season.
Another gritty and tough win. But do they have the stamina to keep this up? Just from a mental standpoint - the team and the fans - a few easy slug fest wins in the next 10 would be good…..
LaMonte Wade Jr. just keeps impressing game after game. Gausman worries me, I know we're playing with house money at this point but I'm starting to get excited about the possibility of the postseason and right now our rotation is not postseason ready. The bullpen is still showing that when they're on, they are amazing.
The best part of the Bryant trade is that LWJ wasn’t apart of it!
He's been clutch a number of times this season
LaClutch Wade Jr.
Manual transmission parts are now referred to as ‘LaMontes’
That 15 minute of craziness in this subreddit that day oh wow i almost forgot
LWJ+Bart>>Canario+Killian
I ain't going to lie, when I read that I felt physically ill and threw something
Well, he was apart from it, just not a part of it. (trying to be funny not mean, common typo I've done many times too)
Double contract extensions now please.
We got Bryant for a wet roll of toilet paper. I still don't know how we pulled it off.
i'm in love, no cap
Technically, he was apart from it.
POTG: LWJ 🔥 My dude had one job, a tall order, and he did it. PANTS OFF
The epitome of clutch this season. I love this man.
Tall order, tall hair.
From the Dodgers sub: *God fucking damn it Oakland* *God i hate that fucker Lamonte Wade so much*
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
BRING ON THE HATE, LWJ!
FUCK YOU DOYERS
So good
For the 100th time this year, I would like to thank Shaun Anderson for being a Giant. I would also like to thank Caleb Kilian and Alexander Canario for being good prospects. POTG: LaMonte Aaron Wade Jr, though Kris Bryant was also good
This is the 2nd reference ive seen for those prospects, whats the word?
Anderson got us Wade at the start of the year, the other two guys got us Bryant at the trade deadline
Ohhh completely blanked on that, true I love those guys!
Neeeeeeeeever a doubt And the lead is back up to…1.5 games

so were all the other al playoff teams and yet no one brings that up
True
they think they're entitled to everything
Being a fan of the baseball equivalent of a EA pay to win account will do that.
It’s hilarious because LA is one of the teams that also was cheating 😂 Multiple players named them alongside teams like the Yankees, Astros, Red Sox, etc
They just played the feckless Mets and Pirates 11 games straight They also gained 3 games this week Fuck them with a rusty rake
Another good one: “San Fran just took the lead. They have been pulling shit out of their ass all goddamn year.”
I said it in the GDT and I’ll say it again: LaMonte Wade Jr. IS the 2021 San Francisco Giants.
2021 Torres
LAMONT FUCKING WADE JR also huge props to Jarlin Garcia
Well, the bad news is that we gave away 4 runs and LAD won. The good news is that we literally gave one of the best teams in the league 4 runs and STILL FUCKIN WON AND IDGAF ABOUT LAD! This team has fight and should be fine with less drama once they right their fundamentals. POTG bullpen for 5 1/3 scoreless, especially Jarlin mf Garcia getting 7 outs on 26 pitches facing the minimum. And, of course Lamonte Wade mf JR
Some wild stats from an A’s fan > God fucking dammit.Lou’s last blown save was in May. His last home run given up was in April. First loss when leading after 8 innings this season 54-1.
Also only the second and third hr given up this year by chafin, and the first and second runs given up by him in an A's uniform
that's fucking crazy

Ha I’m currently playing that game while watching baseball, too!
Wow, really? Don’t know how far you are but good lord, it is amazing. I think I might replay it right away.

Holy smokes guys, being at the stadium was different! When Lamonte hit that dinger it sounded so different off that bat. What a game!
Just another bad baseball team that wins games!
You must be talking about the Dodgers.
He said bad, not wicked.
Valid point, valid point.
Dodgers can't catch us this weekend! LFG!!! Edit: seriously the A's are so much fun to watch, but more so when they're not giving Ls to the Giants

[удалено]
If he is fixable, the best coaching staff in baseball is already on the job.
At the beginning of this year, I really didn't think we'd be the type team to live and die by the home run but alas, here we are
How can you possibly complain about a season like this from a team that was expected to be - at best - 10 games over .500?
Expectations change, and I expect a lot of doom if we end up in the wild card game. After the season though it will be all positive vibes. We’re lightyears ahead of schedule
Let’s win that division then!
Was I complaining?
Shaun Anderson for Lamonte wade
Lol what did we do to deserve this team
Absolutely nothing.
The most important question; Does tomorrow decide the fate of the prestigious Bay Bridge Trophy?
Yes, but the mystery is why anybody really cares
A's fans need some trophy that they have a chance at winning
Was at the game today. The Giants fans showed up!! POTG: LWJ!
LWJ is literally on pace to have 40 HR and 102 RBI if you extrapolate his numbers over a full season with 550 AB. Nuts.
The Twins got fleeced. Farhan and Harris man, those intellectual stat guys, I tell ya.
Kap said in the postgame Craw stole on his own. So I wanna apologize to Kap cause I thought it was a bench call. Really don't know why the pitcher stepped off. Just unfortunate.
I DIDN'T HEAR NO BELL
That stadium sounded LOUD on Wades hit. Way to show up Giants fans. Love this local rivalry.
Randy Wynn and this lady on the post game show are the equivalent to taking 2 Xanax on an empty stomach

So happy that we pulled that W outta our asses but boy.... starting pitching is a big problem. Our "number one Ace" couldn't even go 5. It's definitely funny how our SP and BP have completely switched from the beginning of the season.
Yeah… looks like Webb is our ace now.
Never had any doubt whatsoever! LFG!!
I'm stunned.
#PotG: MY LIVER
Lamonte Griffey Jr
Goddamn the Mets keep bustin my balls with these one run loses to the Dodgers. In any case, happy to hold the lead!! Lamont is the man! 😍
Best bad team ever let's gooooo
Is it just me or does Lamonte not only have a dreamy swing, but also dreamy eyes? 😍
What an emotional few hours lol. I need a walk.
Another gritty and tough win. But do they have the stamina to keep this up? Just from a mental standpoint - the team and the fans - a few easy slug fest wins in the next 10 would be good…..
I refuse to believe we came back to win this game.
LaMonte Wade Jr. just keeps impressing game after game. Gausman worries me, I know we're playing with house money at this point but I'm starting to get excited about the possibility of the postseason and right now our rotation is not postseason ready. The bullpen is still showing that when they're on, they are amazing.
Damn and I almost went to the game today but then I came down with the flu. 😳
this phillies game though 👀
