When does the Giants aura and confidence from their win on Wednesday kick in?
-
How is this interview still happening
-
It seems like Montero is stabbing a lot. Ball 4 and then the next pitch both looked like they crossed the plate. Combination of movement and iffy control, I'd assume.

Enter the pantheon of dongs Jake, holy horsefeathers
-
2016 Playoff Javy is 2015 Playoff Jorge
-
That's two pretty terrible breaking balls in a row.
-
Accidentally hitting Addy is probably going to keep him from purposely hitting Javy, for better or for worse.
-
I don't think we need to worry about it. Or if we do, it means things have gone really well. 2016 Jake isn't really someone who you feel comfortable with that deep, especially considering our other options.

Yeah I'm still a little torn, but this year has been a big eye opener for me. The last few years they seemed to be building the organization around offense/home runs, and doing things like putting Schwarber and Contreras in the outfield just to get their bats in the lineup. At the same, they were more or less ignoring developing pitching, which I associated with defense. Then this year happens, and while we did more than enough offensively, I think most would agree the biggest factor of our dominance came on the pitching/defense side, and the .251 BAPIP stands out as the most staggering number. While I don't really care how much of it was a fluke, given that our offense is going to improve going forward, it really made me rethink my original 'horsefeathers defense' philosophy. That, and I'm still not convinced Heyward is totally broken offensively. Or that a very rusty Soler will give you much. But whatever, 2-0 lead and massive pitching advantage in Game 4...not going to freak out about this one.

Divisional series thread
squally1313 replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
yes...just somehow make sure trea turner never sees 1B against lester (yeah yeah i know we're good at controlling the running game in lester starts now but still) Strasburg is a bit of a wild card, but overall I agree. Just getting Kershaw to pitch again in this series would be very beneficial too, even though he hasn't been his usual self lately. -
Someone bring in Fred to make this thing official.
-
He'll have to wait until next year after Jake ends their year on Monday.
-
Solemn Oath here. Revolution last night. Going to tour my way around Chicago....need 9 more.
-
Agreed. Let's do this nine more times after tonight.
-
I wish I didn't feel as nervous about Rondon coming in as I do. Get Strop throwing next to Chapman, please.
-
When Bumgarner two hopped Bryant it was the hardest hit ball of all time but 'somehow' Panik struggled with that rope of a one-hopper horsefeathers off Bob.
-
Wow Vogelbach actually started three games at first base for the Mariners down the stretch? Would have loved to see that. Anyways, thanks!
-
That was a really frustrating 3 minutes or whatever. Stupid Costas, stupid rule, stupid-ish play by Baez. Whatever. Oh good, Costas goes back to being baseball Pierre McGuire.
-
So this is not at all going how I anticipated in terms of donging their sad sack bullpen, but now that we can get to Monty/Strop/Rondon/Chapman, I'm still entirely confident.
-
Edwards pitching to Contreras in a playoff game makes me really happy.
-
It's unreal how the vast majority of MLB playoff broadcasts are total ass. This doesn't happen for any other sport.
-
Was that Duncan Keith?
-
Oh right Conor gillaspie is a garbage baseball player an so one swing doesn't change a career of garbage.
-
Not ideal. Let's go Monty.
-
We are absolutely fine. Seriously..plan their pitchers for the rest of the game. Try to keep a straight face.
