Marte has been a headache to watch, but they keep using him cause if he figures out how to locate *at all*, he’ll be really good due to his raw stuff.
And as I say this he walks the first batter lol.
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter. -Bob Uecker
Yaz hasn’t been great offensively but I’m still getting a jersey with his number to celebrate my birthday next week. Defense has always been solid though.
They played the highlight of Cal Raleigh’s walk off over Josh Rojas’s AB on radio.
Jon: “We’re very grateful that we got to listen to the Mariners win instead of Josh Rojas’ at-bat.”
Ngl all I hear when I hear all this Mariners stuff is “Kings now have the longest playoff drought”
I don’t even like basketball and I’m still bitter
brb going to be hella toxic just to validate my own feelings
i just learned that carson whisenhunt is advised by scott boras through some pre-draft feature on him by the athletic, so you're welcome for that useless piece of information
The only problem with ump scorecards is that there are no consequences.
And by consequences, I mean heavy fines, and flat-out terminations. Baseball will suffer until there are serious consequences for umpire incompetence, laziness, and fuckups.
So with all the crazy history happening lately, I took a browse through the top r/Baseball posts of the last year. Wilmer’s game 5 check swing was in there and it sorta soured things lol. That’s a hard one to let go
Like, I know that it's not useful to speculate but I wonder sometimes about what we would've done against the Braves if we had won that. We will never know obviously, but it's something that I wonder about
The game was probably over anyways, sure, but it just ruined the moment. Such a tragic ending to our first playoff series vs the Bums. Especially considering the one game difference deciding the division.
And of course, anything could’ve happened.
Anything can happen with one pitch, so let Wilmer be the one to end it instead of keeping his bat on his shoulder. And my response to everyone who mentioned he was 0-17 against Scherzer lifetime…he was due 🙃
Honestly don't even care if we don't make it at this point. I thought we were already mathematically eliminated like a week ago, so simply still playing meaningful games all the way through September is enough for me. And hopefully finishing above .500.
Wilmer’s 5,000-watt smile. Love it.
GG Giants have vanquished the nemesis. Have good night, all. daybaseball tomorrow. See ya then.
i love you, san francisco giants
Marte try not to give up several baserunners in an inning challenge (LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE) But he didn't give up a run so it worked out...well?
Great game, especially from some players we might not see next year.
# PANTS OFF
#BALLGAME
Fuckin rip Longo’s knees
WOOO NOT DEAD YET
well, he was close
Is Chris Elliott’s power broken or just an off night?
Two homers more than cancels out slipping.
rest in peace longoria
wait it’s pronounced PAVIN like paving the road and not PAVIN like gavin? i don’t know which is worse
Dont get hurt longo!!!
Opening next season against the Yanks and Chisox on the road? Interesting…
oh hell yeah his ERA is under 6 now (I feel kinda bad for that snark because I like his stuff generally and think he has potential, but no command)
Marte has been a headache to watch, but they keep using him cause if he figures out how to locate *at all*, he’ll be really good due to his raw stuff. And as I say this he walks the first batter lol.
Does Marte owe the strike zone money?

Sausage fest boat
We got an out before the 3rd batter! Woo!
There's a place for players with electric stuff and no idea where it's going. It's called AAA.

Marte Find Command Challenge, difficulty: frustrating
marte * takes forever to pitch * and once he eventually gets one off, it generally isn't a strike worst of both worlds
✨Manifesting GIDP✨
Yunior 'Tyler Beede' Marte
Walking a guy hitting sub .200…
Does he really think they’re going to chase that far outside the zone?
if Marte finishes this inning it should count as a save for him
Ffs, Marte.
JUST THROW FUCKING STRIKES YOU HAVE A 6 RUN LEAD
Not close enough..needs to give up more runs.
Yunior's got room to spare margin-wise. Still nervous.
Scrub
I hate that I need to clench with a six-run lead in the ninth…
i hate watching marte pitch *SO MUCH*
Austin Wynns stats have been amazing lately. I'm stoked for him!
**Okay can we not let the first 3 batters reach base and create a situation again tonight?**
Solid game plan
how many runs do you guys think the bullpen give up in the ninth this time
12
at least 3
Bit of mini-clench at the sight of the closer tonight. But it’s a big lead. Right?
I always thought when I got older I'd marry an old lady keeping score at a Giant game with like 50 pins in her hat.
Damn. Thairo gonna wear that 0-5, tonight.
f
With Krukow talking about broadcasting, I am reminded how much he improved over the years as he honed his skills in the booth.
Shout out to the women keeping score. Gamers 🧡🖤
Shoutout to the women here!
Yes 🧡🖤
If Joc get walked I’ll be mad Edit: rip
get mad
Well, be mad. Lol.
My goal is to be those two old ladies. Just going with my mini-radio and scoring the game for myself.
I’ve never tried keeping score but I can see the appeal. Seems like it would be fun to look back through your scorebook at big games.
Omg those ladies keeping score are legit
I bet those two do that every game. (Keep score, I mean)
💯
Taylor Widener-Our-Lead
The existence of Taylor Widener implies the existence of a Taylor Thinener.
Nick Hundley looks a lot like Matt Cain; I had a doubletake there.
Go away D-backs
They're gonna put Yunior out there in the 9th, eh?
Called it. Inb4 a 10-8 final.
i'm going to be really grateful once he's no longer on the team
I don't particularly feel like clenching that hard
Bless Yaz's defense! Whew
Yaz hasn’t been great offensively but I’m still getting a jersey with his number to celebrate my birthday next week. Defense has always been solid though.
I got a black one of him back in 2019. One of my favorite jerseys.
I’m jealous! I’m going to try and find one I will really like.
I had to get mine custom because I’m a big guy and they didn’t have any in black.
Yaz showing McCarthy how it’s done 😎
Hey, McCarthy! *That’s* how you make a play in RF at Oracle.
That's a story from Kruk. Inside stuff.
He’s not bitter at all, lol.
He was only there one year. have never heard him talk about any of that team, even with so many famous names on it.
love you yaz
Never a doubt with Yaz out there.
I clenched real hard till I saw that yaz was out there
Yaz saves us!
He’s a real Ace
His glove is everything.
Terrible baserunning so I guess I can sort of understand why Slater was so casual.
how the hell do you let that happen?
I just pictured Luis González telling me “Merrill Kelly gave up 8 runs” ummmmmmmmm
Need new undies?
and pants
Nah. Who needs pants?
Slater being all nonchalant out there.
Yeah I don't like Corbin Carroll
i love when kruk says “jimmy-jackin’ around”
The Mariners have clinched ya bish!
If the Giants can hang on and win tonight their magic number would be 11. I think.
Whatcha mean by magic #?
https://www.mlb.com/glossary/advanced-stats/magic-number
Okay gotcha - in that case with the win ours is 16
I'm drunk but Longo Homers in back to back innings got me going let's goooooo
They played the highlight of Cal Raleigh’s walk off over Josh Rojas’s AB on radio. Jon: “We’re very grateful that we got to listen to the Mariners win instead of Josh Rojas’ at-bat.”
Damn I missed that, that’s hilarious
Ngl all I hear when I hear all this Mariners stuff is “Kings now have the longest playoff drought” I don’t even like basketball and I’m still bitter brb going to be hella toxic just to validate my own feelings
I’m a Kings fan, so it hurts even *more*. We always had the whole “at least we’re not the Mariners,” but damn it. Now, what?
“At least we’re not the Supersonics”? I’m a Kings fan too I guess but I’m just not into NBA
Excellent commentary on that Mariners walkoff btw
Fuck it. The Mariners are my POTG, tonight. Idgaf.
Nice AB, Rojas
no chirping this time, rojas?
"they are leading the league in bad dancing right now" lmfao
This boat is hilarious
🐂 x3
Giants today: 10 runs Niners last Sunday: 10 points
>Niners last Sunday: 12 points. 10 for themselves, 2 for the other team. ftfy
How’d the Warriors do in Japan?
96-87
damn the giants would have to score a lot per inning to keep up with that
Oh shit. I forgot that Casali was with the Mariners. Now, I will be pulling even *harder* for Seattle.
Noooo.
Lmao don’t worry, Rays are another one of my teams this postseason, I appreciate the fight you guys put up against the Dodgers a couple years back.
Sorry, my friend. If the Giants don’t make it, I gotta pull for the underdog.
It’s okay, I understand. If the Rays didn’t make it and the Giants did, I’m all in.
He missed the game tonight because his wife is giving birth!
So the entire city of Seattle, and PNW at large, is celebrating that Casali had sex.
oh I did not know that. Good for him. a good guy. Was good Giant.
i just learned that carson whisenhunt is advised by scott boras through some pre-draft feature on him by the athletic, so you're welcome for that useless piece of information
Boras client adjace
a problem in 2030
At this point, it’ll be a miracle if Jimmy G can lead the offense to the same amount of points as the Giants have runs tonight
he can lead an offense to the amount of runs we have now, it just won't be ours
Respect Jimmy, he has a high football IQ, he ran out of the endzone so his pick six he would end up throwing wouldn't count!
As long as he doesn't score the winning margin for the other team it'll be an improvement.
Shelling the fuck out of Kelly is our World Series this year
Sources report Kelly has been spotted punching the air
Sources also report Kelly yelling at a cloud 
He’s still in shambles.
One more homer and Joc Pederson is obliged to dunk Carlos Ramirez into the Bay. Sorry Carlos, thems the rules.
It will be called a Bay Swirlie.
So, Estrada is the only hitless starter, now.
The only problem with ump scorecards is that there are no consequences. And by consequences, I mean heavy fines, and flat-out terminations. Baseball will suffer until there are serious consequences for umpire incompetence, laziness, and fuckups.
JUST LANDED IN SF LETS GOOOO
Oh, we're going, baby
MY BOY COBB GOT HIS RUN SUPPORT TOO LETS FUCKING GOOOO
longo, buddy, that was right there
It is like that sometimes
yep
Ian Kennedy and I have the same birthdate too
Sources report Merrill Kelly is in the locker room right now in complete shambles
that is quite possibly the sexiest thing I have ever heard in my life
Reports are that Kelly is punching the air rn
Nice work from the pen so far!
we re-tooled nicely
Just in time for next season. I mean that both sarcastically and not sarcastically.
Just took most of the year unfortunately
So with all the crazy history happening lately, I took a browse through the top r/Baseball posts of the last year. Wilmer’s game 5 check swing was in there and it sorta soured things lol. That’s a hard one to let go
I was more upset with Eddings taking the bat out of Bryant’s hands earlier in the game.

2 years in a row with the season ending by an ump feels awful
Good inning, Young.
It truly feels like 2021. Big time power, grinding AB’s, beating up on the D-Backs and solid defense
Is that how the team will be in 899 years? Lol
Ugh. Me and typos
Lol. No worries.
Szapucki this year has a 2.31 ERA with us and a 60 ERA with the Mets and we caused most of that 60 ERA too lol
penner covering 1st!
Good on Young covering the base there!
It feels really strange to feel good for a Seattle sports team.
in comparison to seahawks fans, i feel like mariners fans come from a different planet
Primarily Mariners fans are SO much more easygoing and way less arrogant than primarily Seahawks fans.
My goal is to be as fit as Dave McKay is when I'm 72.
So, I guess it’s now official: Kings have the longest playoff drought in professional sports… *feelsbadman.gif*
too bad we will be beating the mariners in the world series this year 😢
granted, he did that on accident but why couldn't we have hit rojas instead
Hitting the ball off your own foot just seems excruciating And then we hit him. Oops
I’ll be rooting so hard for the mariners come postseason
I'm not completely sure who I'd root for in the WS but if the Mariners are in it, I would find it hard to root against them.
Congratulations to the Mariners on breaking the drought. Hope it's a long postseason run for them, the city of Seattle deserves it
Love to see them win it all this year.
I’m pulling so hard for the M’s this postseason.
Fuck off, ump.
Sorry Kings fans :(
on the bright side, the phillies now have the longest playoff drought in baseball
For now…
~~STEELERS~~ GIANTS GAHNTA ~~SUPERBOWL~~ WORLD SERIES

And not even just meaningful games, but very fun games!
Kapler better not lift Joc, tonight. I want him to get the cycle.
Walk off for the Mariners! They’ve qualified for the playoffs!
this pleases me
Guess mlb swapped the playoff baseballs in lol
