[WBT 20,638]

A pitching change with 2 outs and Maldonado coming up...f Jayce Tingler.  And what a stupid pair of names.

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

Make it quick Taylor 

[rvm96 1,643]

Surprised Verlander didn't talk his way into the 9th

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

Lock it down boys 

[WBT 20,638]

Well that should have been the dp to end the game at 27 PAs.  Lame.

Sigh.

[YChang 3,455]

For fuck’s sake, come on end the game already

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

8 more to go 

[WBT 20,638]

8 in a row!

[Guadaloopy 10,988]

Another shutout.  Quite a roll the pitching staff is on.  8 runs allowed in 8 games.  

[Mo Horn 8,852]

Nice little 8 game win streak

[Wulaw Horn 19,133]

On pace for 103 wins. Interesting way to get to that pace so far. 

[Pablo 494]

Beautiful game, wtg, boys!

The way we were hitting (or not hitting), I feared we'd struggle to win 85. Now we look like a serious contender again. The starting pitchers have been amazing. 

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

all that matters, stay healthy and get one of the two byes

Sorry guys, my cousin mentioned the No-hitter right before that line drive single in the 8th. My family let us all down and I carry that shame with me like a rotting carcass hanging around my neck.

Old man called me to see if I was watching 🤦‍♂️

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

Thank god I come from a baseball family, no one said a word until he gave up that single. My mother was probably as disappointed as JV 

[UTexasFight 9,515]

My girlfriend was completed befuddled why I was screaming for every out and then irate when I wouldn’t answer her asking after every out why I was so in to a random Tuesday May ballgame.

one thing I did notice, the broadcast didn’t show R H E going to break. Only runs.

is that normal? Saving space for an ad? Or did the producer really chop off the hits to avoid a jinx?

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

They don’t show a box score anymore 

[tx 3 putt 77,212]

Correa and Espada 

 

[dr99 560]

I bet Dusty wants to put Goodrum and Siri in the lineup today to break up the win streak.

I didn't notice the whole game, but they showed it all in the 4th or 5th inning going to break because I remember looking at it.

Charge your phone!

[runthebone 8,023]

Today, Will Clark (I know) was on sports radio in the Bay Area, and he talked about how Dusty Baker was the best hitting coach he ever had and how much Dusty helped him.

It should be on the KNBR podcast channel later today if not there already.

SF was my second favorite team as a kid. Maybe it was trying to stay up until midnight for a game where the fog would roll in at Candlestick. Always loved Clark's game as well. His dodgers hatred still shines.

[Scraps 13,569]

Fucking hated Will Clark

This is the correct and only answer…back to the mid-80s along with Palmeiro and Miss St.

 

[HtownHorn 14,753]

Correction Will, we didn't get caught, we got narced on by a pedophile.

per a friend that had to interact met him, world class dick

I could tell that by looking at his dumb face

Yup, that’s pretty much his reputation. 

[MaybeACoordinator 8,349]

I did think it was funny when I read that his answering machine played a recording of BB King's "The Thrill is Gone." Also, I have an affinity for fellow grads of Jesuit highs schools, unless that school is in Dallas. But yeah, he was an Astro-killer for sure, and I've heard the same rumors of dickishness.

He literally looks like a penis head in that clip above

It seems that the Giants have had a disproportionate amount of jerks in their history. The Clark, Bonds and Kent trio takes a backseat to no one in in terms of assholery.

Has Archer always been this big of a douchebag?

Yes. 

[WBT 20,638]

I may not have caught the numbers right but I think Ford just said that last night JV tied Randy Johnson for 2nd most times taking a no-hitter into the 8th in the expansion era with 8.  Nolan had 23.

[Pablo 494]

this fuckin catcher and his frame jobs.  its fucking comical

I saw it for several innings show hits
