9/3 Giants (Bumgarner) @ Cubs (Arrieta), 1:20 PM, CSN

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh well. Is it my turn to start a game thread yet?

[UMFan83]

Man it sucks slumming it with the teams that aren't 40 games over .500 again

[CubInOK]

Rizzo had no clue the 3rd baseman fielded that ball.

[Sammy Sofa]

GOD DAMNIT THAT WAS SO [expletive] STUPID YOU STUPID [expletive] JERKS

I don't think "bunting is stupid" should necessarily be the takeaway there.

[USSoccer]

Rizzo probably should have just kept going

[Sammy Sofa]

Maybe Rizzo thought this was a real day off and he was drunk.

[TMan92]

Hey guys. Who gives a horsefeathers. Get all the nonsense out of our system now.

[Sammy Sofa]

I don't think "bunting is stupid" should necessarily be the takeaway there.

 

Correct. The proper term is "bunts lick butts."

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I kinda want to know what he did

losing on mistakes brought on by what were dumb strategic decisions to begin with grinds the horsefeathers out of my gears

 

hated the bunt already and then rizz dumbs it up on the bases by being needelessly overly aggressive

 

fowler should've been swinging away and then the league MVP was coming up

Bunting is always stupid even if dumber things happen during a bunting play

[USSoccer]

He watched Javy being awesome on the bases and wanted to try and be awesome too

[David]

if something like that happened in a playoff game i feel like i'd probably have a heart attack

I'm not particularly bothered by the bunt itself (though I generally dislike bunts), but far more so by Rizzo's tootblan. But I'm still more irritated by the wild pitch that allowed the Giants' third run to score.

i was too impressed by JD's clairvoyance to be that upset... + i just assumed we'd get a few off their shitty bullpen after that

[USSoccer]

That was the "hey let's not cover 2nd, or hold the runner at 2nd or block the ball in the dirt" sequence.

[UMFan83]

Key takeaway is we did decent against Bumgarner, Jake actually matched his outing. Secondary takeaway is Seal Boy sucks at third basing

[USSoccer]

No bucket of fish for Tommy after the game

I think the roster is good enough now where we won't see him starting a playoff game this year. So all is good.

You know you're watching a weird baseball game when Travis Wood works a 1-2-3 inning.

[Banedon]

Hold up...are people actually mad about losses right now? I mean...I wanted them to win...but oh horsefeathering well. I'm gonna have a real hard time getting upset about losses the rest of the regular season.

 

The only thing I'll retain from this game is Baez's mad dash.

Given that the last post that could be construed as "mad" was made over an hour before yours....no, probably not.
