As long as Bumgarner starts in the Wild Card Game. The San Francisco Giants in 2017.

Which of these will happen first:

- Bumgarner will scream at an opposing batter.
- A .gif of Hunter Pence fighting seagulls make the first page of SB Nation.
- Matt Cain to the DL
- BeeOK will have a meltdown in this thread.
- Everyone realises Pablo Sandoval was the key to everything.

Jokes aside I'm bullish on this squad.

beeok meltdown for sure

ditto

Reds were pretty f-ing stupid to not sign Cueto. I see it as a mistake not unlike what the Cubs did with Maddux back in the 90s.

The fact that Cueto is the #2 says something about the Giants pitching. As long as him and Bumgarner stay healthy, they are going to be competitive.

Did they do any moves to improve the bullpen, that seems to be their big issue last couple years.

They paid a truckload for melancon

they got rid of sergio romo

they sent Will Smith to TJS.

Chris Marrero is the star of the game so far.

YAY, 2017 thread where i will keep my sanity. ILB will be so happy :-)

i have not even opened up ILB since the 8th inning of the last game.

wait, that is wrong. i did last week when USA won it all.

only game on right now. great pitching match up.

Bumgarner hits a home run in the first game.

classic MadBum game right now.

sadbum trombone

you have to be kidding me

MadBum goes deep again.

haha leading the majors in homeruns.

all they have to do is have him pitch 9 innings every game and they should be in good shape

i don't think i'm ready for baseball yet.

this game has been back and forth.

and two blown saves. :rolleyes:

I guess the answer to my earlier question is so far, no.

Among the players who hit fewer air balls at 110-plus in 2016 than Bumgarner did yesterday: Robinson Cano, Andrew McCutchen, Jay Bruce, Daniel Murphy, and Carlos Beltran.

playing better today, love watching Cueto.

Cueto is must watch. I was supposed to be there tonight had to cancel tho

that Cueto run was all-time.

Also, a 6 runs lead. Time to test the new bullpen guys.

Ive never wanted anything more in my life than this:

Cueto is my favorite playing in MLB.

looking forward to watching Matt Moore tonight.

yeah Cueto is in my top 5, league-wide.

he'll have better games than last night, that being said.

huge strike out from Moore

Belt's kid is so cute and then dad hits a home run on cue

i';m going to drive ILB crazy ain't i?

"Same as it ever was"

my Talking Heads poll ruled!

it did!

I would move Panik up one spot in the lineup. He's been good over that small sample size. Wouldn't be surprised if it happened in the next series.

i hate Arizona, the place plays like a pinball machine.

i hate Arizona

I live here :(

I'm just a jealous canadian.

i don't hate the place, despite how red it is. i just hated this road trip and for five days. want to get the fuck out of dodge.

bottom of the NL west.

i hate San Diego, j/k. i expect to lose almost all Matt Cain's starts this year.

4 games behind the Diamondbacks.

Posey hit in the head? After Belt and Panik (I think?)

the Giants lose Posey for at least seven days, oh boy!

mad b is pitching in sacramento tonight

not to mention an offensive http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2011/09/mind_blown.gif in pittsburgh

I'm bullish for the playoffs let's go.

five in a row, i feel like this is a completely different team. thou when you walk 10 you don't deserve to win in extras on a 1:1 tie into the 10th.

The Average Sports Fan: How were so many people so wrong about the Giants?

Jeff Sullivan: I don’t really know what we’re supposed to learn, here. Crawford forgot how to hit, Pence forgot how to hit, and Bumgarner forgot how to practice responsible dirt-biking safety habits

some minor leaguer hit two homers off bumgarner in one inning last night

cueto - 6ip 6h 6er 6bb

Bumgarner tomorrow, probably the most important event for these 2017 Giants.

need this guy more than just about anyone not named Posey.

He ought to ride out to the mound on an ATV.

these 2017 giants have no important events beyond making trades

to non-Giants fans that's valid. for us fans, we need to find out if he is damaged or not.

there have been few things i have enjoyed more in my sports life than 2010, 2012 and 2014 World Championships.

the release of the Panda today is having an impact on my mood. that and Pendleton i have been drinking.

leave me alone qualx, thanks!

sry bud ilu

the Giants did not sell out tonight, breaking a 530 game streak. it started in 2010.

Pence with the game of thrones walk up song.

Everything makes sense if Bee OK ends being Hunter.

Thursday is GoT Hunter Pence bobblehead night.

Everything makes sense if Bee OK ends being Hunter.

<3

messed that up, try again-

Pence with the game of thrones walk up song.

Everything makes sense if Bee OK ends being Hunter.

Sandoval came back today

Giants had to claw and fight but they did win today, coincidence?

oh i meant to say in extra innings too

Nunez is hugging everyone, have not heard yet what happened.

the jellicle choice has been made, he is ready to ascend

i think Madison Bumgarner is going to be alright.

one positive from this dreadful year.

Two series wins in a row things are lookin up!

as long as bumgarner starts in the wild card game

WS champs 2017 baby

this made me laugh:

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/pablo-sandoval-says-struggled-boston-heart-s-f-210626441.html

At the end of the day, I just never felt comfortable in Boston. It had nothing to do with the organization, or my teammates, or the fans, or the city. Everybody was great to me. I think it was just something that happens sometimes — you don’t feel comfortable somewhere, or you don’t fit in, even if you’re in a place you chose to be.
In Boston, I was lost. It just never felt like home. And then I got released, and it was the worst feeling. I knew it was coming, but when it actually happened, it felt worse than I had even imagined it would. I felt like my career was over — like everything I had worked for my whole life was just … you know … done. All the great memories. All the great times you have playing this game. And one day, it can all be gone like that.
I had the greatest times of my life in San Francisco. And when I chose to leave, I left the special group of guys that I had shared those times with. I left behind the chemistry I had built with my teammates. I left behind a dynasty.
And I think that’s another reason I struggled so much the last couple of years: Because every day I spent in Boston, my heart was still back in San Francisco.

don't believe him at all, he is just playing nice these days.

Cueto makes Giants baseball so much better. hope the next four years is not a waste.

did he hit bader on purpose because he yelled wooo in the dugout too loudly after hitting his first ever HR?

#drama

Cueto v Kershaw tonight and it is on regular TV tonight so i can watch.

i forgot for a moment it was 2017.

Just wow 🙌🏾#AfricanAmericanHeritage | #SFGiants pic.twitter.com/ttTJuGfUQu

bee ok do not read this

https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-san-francisco-giants-baseballs-biggest-disappointment/

Thank you Matt Cain, it has been a absolute pleasure.

i just read that NA, needs to be said. it was such a disappointing year and they are not going to rebuild.

i guess that what happens when you make a deal with the devil.

Grant Brisbee did an excellent piece to say goodbye to Matt Cain:

Another piece by Brisbee -- my mind is blown by the Moneyball tweet (scroll down near the end).

https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2017/9/27/16375384/matt-cain-sf-giants-retirement

must be something in my eye
