this seems...bad

i'm so mad, this game was in the bag. the Braves are a last place team. sometimes you lose but this one really hurt.

Pence to have surgery on his hammy :(

eight weeks out at least. and not an easy one to come back from

this is the first i'm hearing about this. not good news.

heart and soul of the team

Giants vs. Red Sox. should be a fun couple of days.

SAN FRANCISCO – Madison Bumgarner wants to become the first pitcher to participate in the All-Star home run derby. He isn’t sure if he could win it, but he’s darn sure he wouldn’t embarrass himself...

The left-hander made it clear he “wasn’t politicking” to participate in the derby, but if asked, he wouldn’t refuse.

The story became a story after ESPN’s Buster Olney asked Bumgarner in St. Louis, if he’d like to take part, and the pitcher answered honestly.

Then Bumgarner took batting practice and crushed home runs into Big Mac Land, hitting a fourth-decker shot on his final swing.

please, no. have a real hitter take part. i love Bum and everything but this event is for the hitters.

Price Vs. Bum

should be a great game

sorry, Bumgarner

hey, Joe Montana is in the house

Posey is not catching MadBum in like forever.

living up to it's title

i keep forgetting

trying to let go

bunch of fucking bullshit last night

umps, let the players decided the game!

Here we go, who will win?

Win after going down one

man the peaves has really doubled down on his redneck this season with that hair, huh

coming back?

oh sorry, wrong board...

i forget that this is a Mets board

What are you talking about?

dope comeback by the giants vs the pirates.

phew, that was a stressful one. still not a fan of our bullpen.

i'm starting to believe, team is on fire

With their 12th win in 13 outings, the Giants moved 21 games above .500. They are 31-9 since May 11, marking their most victories in a 40-game span since 1954.

oh William, i have no idea anymore.

loving Pena, are we the new Cards?

gigantes have kinda been cards 2.0 since 2012 - although unlike the cards, "awful and obsessed with the corniest play-the-right-way aspects and pastoral aesthetics of baseball" is not the baseline attitude of /most/ giants fans I've interacted with

which is to say, the only reasonable cards fans I've interacted with are ilxors, whereas I've met pleasant giants fans irl and online, so that's an advantage imo

wait, were you asking if there's an actual baseball similarity in that case I got nothin

everything going the Giant's way + ability to produce good talent seemingly out of nowhere was the equation i was basing myself on.

that's def true the past month and a half - not sure how sustainable all of it is, but then again #evenyear

MadBum is DH for the Giants tonight. first time a pitcher has done that in 40 years.

He is not even listed as a DH :D

Win two in Oakland.

he is not the DH. He is the pitcher who is hitting.

lol, i read it wrong.

but then the Giants don't have a DH in an American League park.

Belt/Posey

oh wait, we already lost in Oakland.

yeah, they haven't been playing very well.

some really tough loses.

bee we were doing so good til you said we were doing good again
