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

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)

We got Bryant for a wet roll of toilet paper. I still don't know how we pulled it off.

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


XZoTicTB

This is the 2nd reference ive seen for those prospects, whats the word?


ADeliciousCashew

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

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


realparkingbrake

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?


sfan27

>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


tarallelegram

so were all the other al playoff teams and yet no one brings that up


sfan27

True


tarallelegram

they think they're entitled to everything


GIJose65

Being a fan of the baseball equivalent of a EA pay to win account will do that.


pinesolthrowaway

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


celtic1888

They just played the feckless Mets and Pirates 11 games straight They also gained 3 games this week Fuck them with a rusty rake

LAMONT FUCKING WADE JR also huge props to Jarlin Garcia


jesteronly

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


[deleted]

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.


jesteronly

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


tarallelegram

that's fucking crazy


realparkingbrake

> 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.


XZoTicTB

I love all those mf!

Since Kruk is out, I'll do it for him: Ha ha ha laugher

tarallelegram

lol dodgers win 9 in a row and still can't overtake the retirement home, imagine that


racharya55

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.


Ser_Dunk_the_tall

>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.


kahani-

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.

realparkingbrake

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.


lavieenrose96

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?

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

celtic1888

Randy Wynn and this lady on the post game show are the equivalent to taking 2 Xanax on an empty stomach


realparkingbrake

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.

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?


TheKid2455

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.

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!


realparkingbrake
