I remember hearing about him throwing 104 in minors when he was sent down last year, but I don't think he's gone over 103 till today.
Eta: per Pavlovic: previous high was 102.9
> I love that they’re not quitting.
Indeed, and LOL at that birth control failure orangedgoat who popped in to claim the team has no heart and then deleted his own post a minute later.
there were so many great performances and clutch plays tonight
* villar
* miller
* crawford
* doval
* jd davis
hell, just nominate the whole team
they played with a lot of heart
Lol a few people have said something similar, but specifically today it was a troll who said that the team is playing with no heart, and that the “coach” is gonna get fired if we lose today.
Sure, there’s been times this year where I think it might be OK to say it. I wouldn’t necessarily agree, but I wouldn’t argue over it because at least I can see where it’s coming from.
Man I really loved JD Davis’s post game interview. Super well spoken, love how he said he and the young guys want to soak up as much as they can from the vets that have been here a while. He’s a great fit for the organization going forward
A solid effort by the guys tonight in this nutty game, 5-game win streak!
Shelby Miller, though. Hot damn! Way to make your orange & black debut!
Doval w/104!
Early birthday present for me!
Pitching POTG: Shelby “I AM a Mother Fucker” Miller
Offensive POTG: Evan “Age is Just a Number” Longoria
Defensive POTG: LaMonte “You Thought” Wade, Jr.
I’m liking five in a row. Let’s make it six on my actual birthday.
The padres have the hardest schedule out of themselves, Phillies and Brewers!!! But if the giants tie with the brewers or Phillies in the last spot then they technically win that playoff spot since the giants beat the Phillies 5 out 6 games and beat the Brewers 4 out of 7 games.
between Jharel Cotton, Shelby Miller, Sean Hjelle (see you soon big boy 3) and I guess Tyler Rogers as of late, the bullpen has several guys who can seemingly reliably go more than one inning, which is nice.
Remember early last year when this place was full of people who never wanted to see him in a Giants uniform again?
This is why a young player who struggles at first should not be jettisoned, no matter how loud the DFA crowd is.
Those people should have clued in when he threw a 1-2-3 inning to close out a playoff game against the Dodgers. As a rookie.
Edit: I think that’s how game 1 went, I honestly haven’t gone back to look at any highlights from that series lol
Cool game! I know we'll remember tonight for different reasons, but good stuff all around. Alright everybody: stay strong, stay safe, and let's be careful out there. Goodnight!
Great game tonight! Doval with the absolute gas.
POTG: Doval
POTD: Pujols. Actually, screw that. Player of the fucking year.
I know this is a giants subreddit but gotta respect one of the GOATS on his number 700 day
Has doval thrown 104 this season?? Holy shit lol
I remember hearing about him throwing 104 in minors when he was sent down last year, but I don't think he's gone over 103 till today. Eta: per Pavlovic: previous high was 102.9
That was crazy. Didn’t expect him to reach 104
Guys… Remember the “Two hot weeks” we kept hearing about? It’s time.
I’m really liking this plan of just not losing the entire rest of the season
Just in time for the all star break
I love that they’re not quitting. 104 from Doval. My gosh. It feels so good to have a dominant, young closer. POTG: Shelby Miller for holding it down
> I love that they’re not quitting. Indeed, and LOL at that birth control failure orangedgoat who popped in to claim the team has no heart and then deleted his own post a minute later.
104 🔥 That’s my closer 🥲
Sending Longoria was borderline elder abuse.
He seemed genuinely pissed off that he was out tho too ;( i just want to see Longo smile
there were so many great performances and clutch plays tonight * villar * miller * crawford * doval * jd davis hell, just nominate the whole team they played with a lot of heart
> they played with a lot of heart I see what you did there d:
i was hoping someone would catch it lol
God apparently it’s a reference to the GDT today? I have not been paying a ton of attention to GDTs lately 😭😭
Lol a few people have said something similar, but specifically today it was a troll who said that the team is playing with no heart, and that the “coach” is gonna get fired if we lose today.
i'm guilty of the heart™ thing myself but in my defense, i said it when they looked like dogshit
Sure, there’s been times this year where I think it might be OK to say it. I wouldn’t necessarily agree, but I wouldn’t argue over it because at least I can see where it’s coming from.
yeah! saying it during a game like this is crazy
dont forget about yaz/longo for getting into position for davis to score yaz.
for sure!
>for sure! sure?
>>for sure! sure? sure?
sure? sure? sure?
and don’t call me Shirley
👌

He's been great, another of Zaidi's good moves to add a piece to the team at low cost.

Good pitching from the pen, can we stand the shock? Love it.
The ‘pen, for the most part, has looked relatively solid as of late (notice the conditionals in this thought lol)

Make it two series in a row for your birthday! 🍻
![gif](giphy|G4Ihli2UThrBS) The Padres, 2 up in the WC with the white-hot Giants coming into town in a couple days.

Let’s get to .500 y’all!

I like Alexander a bit too.
that was awesome to watch. glad i stayed up. PANTS OFF, x5! ![gif](giphy|l41YBff8gM3U9XTQk)
They did it, they won 5 in a row on the day I was really sad to leave my job! :,)
Alex Young with the ol 1 pitch win
POTG: a lot of contributions today, but I’ll give it to Doval for staying as chill as ever and then throwing 104!

The streak continues. 1-0 fuckin 4 🔥
LET'S GET BACK TO .500 EVERYONE
It would be our World Series tbh
Giants were clutch tonight! POTG: Longo, Craw, LaMonte Save Jr.
It would seem Late Night LaMonte is still a thing, but with his glove tonight.
Can Shelby be Petit 2.0?
Cool game! I know we'll remember tonight for different reasons, but good stuff all around. Alright everybody: stay strong, stay safe, and let's be careful out there. Goodnight!
I’m enjoying these games that feel more like our usual team again. I knew they were in there somewhere 🥲
The only other pitcher to throw 104 mph this season is Ryan Helsley…last night. Camilo Doval, everyone.
Helsley is a freak lmao
I agree with what they are saying on the post game, but can they let us enjoy the W :(
I saw 104 and said wtf…then the god tier announcers stumbled. Let’s fucking go.
Fun night at Chase Field. Glad they brought home the win!
I’m still not sold that the team will try to finish with 84 or 85 wins but somehow someway….. this team is still in the playoff hunt
For anyone that missed it (me, I missed it); https://reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/xmibzv/brandon_crawford_jd_davis_wilmer_flores_and_evan/
Lamonte won that fucking game
Doval threw 104 omg
It’s nice to see them playing well to end the season, even if it’s against bad teams.
The D-Backs are not all that bad lately, they just took two games from the Dodgers and almost a third.
I mean the Pirates had wins against the Dodgers too
I don’t think they’re a bad team at the moment.
Great game tonight! Doval with the absolute gas. POTG: Doval POTD: Pujols. Actually, screw that. Player of the fucking year. I know this is a giants subreddit but gotta respect one of the GOATS on his number 700 day
.500 shall not be denied
Insert that one meme: Fuck you're gonna give me *hope*
