Even Year Bullshit: The 2016 San Francisco Giants

on into the night

11th AZ pitcher

so many pitchers. at this game rn btw

this could take awhile

did anyone see what Bochy did last night?

It was a brilliant one. He had Cory Gearrin start the 12th for one out, then sent him to left field while Javier Lopez pitched to Lamb. It was the first time a Giants pitcher played a position other than on the mound since Noah Lowry in 2005, and the first time a Giants pitcher had gone to play a position and return to the mound since Keith Comstock did it in 1987.

Lopez walked Lamb, who stole second base after Gearrin re-entered. Paul Goldschmidt was walked intentionally. But Gearrin got the benefit of a 3-2 pitch on the edge of the strike zone to Welington Castillo, drawing an immediate wail of protest from the batter and an ejection.

Gearrin then battled Yasmany Tomás in an eight-pitch at-bat and the five-hour, 23-minute game ended with a ground out to second base, along with sighs of relief in the visiting dugout.

yeah that was hilarious

getting excited again. i guess a four game winning streak helps.

Joe Maddon has done the "have a pitcher play outfield then come back to pitch" thing a couple of times this season, usually with Travis Wood.

or maybe not.

that was such a bad game, thank god for football.

unbelievable

worst lost of the year.

considering the time of year and everything else

snake bitten

i hate this team

can't even beat San Diego, they swept us coming out of the all-star break.

now they buried us and the Giants playoff hopes.

they should just lose the rest of their games. it would be embarrassing to make the wild card at this point.

the other 2 contenders are not so hot either, u know

because this is about as good as it ever gets, By Grant Brisbee:

"The second thing you need to do is put some mood music on. Maybe Hospice by The Antlers. Anything from Mark Kozelek. I think I’ll start with Disintegration and move on to some Joy Division after that. Because we’ll be here for a while."

OK, if they do well against the Cardinals they will be in the wild card lead. i just don't see it happening.

well that was important

Go Giants!

Who is that Luke Weaver guy and how did he strike out the first four batters?

Boy, it's been a while since we've seen that kind of inning from the Giants.

Not happy with Cassila, at all. But the boos are obnoxious.

Bochy should be fired.

giants in the 9th inning should be fired

Bochy should be fired.

That's madness, Bee.

wtf Bee

bad fan

tsk

Casilla out as closer

finally, that is all i ask.

two months too late!

in case people don't know: Madison Bumgarner vs. Clayton Kershaw tonight.

Kershaw is already done for the night.

I don't what their actual records are head to head, but these two guys totally seem like Koufax-Marichal when they face each other (who apparently only matched up twice--bizarre).

bullpen time baby

madbum lol
