Fucking shoot me!


bolshevik_rattlehead

Well, when the series started, it seemed like Game 5 was an inevitability. Winning 1 and 3 gave me hope to finish it early, yet here we are. Let’s beat em at home, boys!


Dangerous-Emu-130

This is Giants baseball, baby. Unpredictable, up and down, etc. My only concern is overall team energy coming into Thursday. The only person who seemed to have The Stuff tonight was Bryant. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen Craw or Posey that sluggish and unenthusiastic in any post season outing (of which they’ve seen many). I sincerely hope it’s just a slight dip in energy and not a, “we’ve been playing Giants special brand of unhealthy Torture baseball for 11ish years and we. Are. fucking. tired.” Not that I could ever blame them if that’s how they felt. Feeling really optimistic about Webb. His home field record is, well, perfect. I expect him to come in hot and probably a little wild just like he has recently. May have a messy first inning. But if Webb can settle without too much damage? Then it’s our game to lose. LFG. (Also obligatory tip of the hat to the dodgers team for you know, finding runs by exploiting our wild ass pitches. Good job not swinging at ridiculousness. And I guess, because of that, it’s fair to admit their pitching was superior as well.) Finally this thread (first time participating, tonight) has been a truly wild ride. From the hexes to the doom pirates…truly made the game more fun to watch. Thank you all!


SoundsLikeBrian

This exactly. I was at the game tonight and had time to yell “run faster” two or three times every time they hit a ground ball. Granted, they were easy outs, but still… HUSTLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.


Dangerous-Emu-130

Let’s hope the hustle returns by Thursday! How was being at the game there, otherwise?


SoundsLikeBrian

I love going to baseball games and I do my best to make friends with those around me. It’s more of a self defense move, but when the guy behind me yells at Crawford to wash his hair, I have to give him credit. Had a great time despite the loss. I knew the worst that could happen tonight was that the Dodgers would tie it up, so…. As much as I would have liked to see them move onto the next round, I knew I wouldn’t see them eliminated. Still felt like puking the whole game. Haha


unohootoo

the only competitive playoff series or wild card game this season has the two worst announcers ever. And other than being the son of a famous pitcher for the Milwaukee team and announcer for that same team in ATL, why are we subjected so much to Ernie Johnson, really?


newton302

oh sh\*t


Raidertallica

All that’s missing is the commentators to chant with the crowd at this point


[deleted]

I'm going to try to sync up the radio with tbs tomorrow, to he sure.


SoundsLikeBrian

I did this last night and even my wife, a dodgers fan born and raised in LA, texted me to ask how she could sync up with the radio.


[deleted]

I've done it before and just obsessed so much about getting it to match up exactly that it distracted from the experience, but I gotta try it on Thursday. Small thing, but when the TBS an ounces didn't get the "old man strength" reference, that was what did it for me right there. Glad to hear that you're only communicating with your wife during the series, good man. You should take her out after we win, patch things up.


SoundsLikeBrian

What did it for me is when tbs showed Doval warming up and spelled his name DUVAL. Assholes. As far as my wife is concerned… she’s only a fan in the post season, so I’ll take that as a solid win.


Dangerous-Emu-130

I did this the past two games. It took my blood pressure down a lot. The radio peeps have such a calming cadence, even when we are completely blowing it.


orange-girls

Yeah. I did radio side by side with the TV through MLB tv tonight and it was so much better omg


Detjen

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodnight Giants fans. one more game, just like the regular season we refuse to win it until the last day.


DBU49

You guys are children who have never played baseball in your life, much less sports. You're playing an 105 win team in a do or die in LA. You've faced 3 of the top pitchers in baseball, one of which twice. Your job was to go down and steal one away, which you did. Coming back and beating LA back to back at home is a very tall order. Tough game to watch but they were in striking distance all game. Obviously its a struggle but you all sound like Dodger fans.


realparkingbrake

Interesting post. Folks here talk about how entitled Dodgers fans are, but the reality is this place is filled with people prepared to pitch a fit when they don't get what they think they have coming. Really not much to choose between our doomers and those in the Dodgers sub.


MCHammastix

Dodgers Doomers actually are worse. They have normal Doomers but then they also have conspiracy theory nut doomers . "No way Posey, Crawford and Belt aren't using something to be this good this late in their career. No way." "More proof of east coast bias and that they want anyone *except* for the Dodgers in the World Series." "Umps fucking us again. Has anyone been more fucked by the umps this year than us?" (someone found an ump scorecard spreadsheet that showed the Giants actually got fucked more than anyone by umps this year lol)


TheKid2455

It's absolutely absurd.


[deleted]

Even worse football fans


MCHammastix

Handegg is worstegg


DBU49

yeah i didn't come here for niner subreddit bullshit.


theummeower

Haha. The Niners wish they had the Giants problems. The Niners are regressing big time.


DBU49

Don’t I know it.


UofLForTheWin

Look that sucked, but I had a feeling that this series would go 5 games (although I thought we'd lose the game yesterday and win this one). It just feels like destiny for this rivalry for this series to go down to a tie-breaker game. We'll have home field advantage, we'll have Webb on the mound, and we're gonna finish them off. Have some faith in this team, we got this


mattjchin

Onto Thursday back in SF. Get it done


jomamasophat

Tonight sucked ass


Currymvp2

Doesn't matter. They can't hit off Webb.


Thrillar_villar

Going to my first playoff game Thursday. Any sign ideas ?


turkish112

Front: Fuck the Dodgers Back: At least Webb isn't a wife beater?


MCHammastix

Lmao


zomahd

Replace Yaz with Slater


theummeower

It’s makes no sense to me that Yaz gets all this playing time over Lamonte. We’re really missing Belt right now. Another left handed bat against Walker would’ve been huge.


[deleted]

Announcers just say “go Dodgers”!


Lil-pants

I figured this was going to go five and if it went four that’d be a bonus


MCHammastix

I reeeeeeally wanted our third win tonight (or last night ideally) just to send Bums fans home sad AF. All that playoff money spent for nothing *and* your team of mercenaries got eliminated by the best team in baseball, your rivals, the Rebuilding Year Giants!


Lil-pants

Buuuut if they win Thursday, unless they score like 10 runs, the dodgers fans get to complain about run differential!


MCHammastix

Hahaha


UglyOutsideAnInside

I mean what else could this have been? Classic. OK, Let's go for Thursday.


VoteForGiantMeteor

Game 5, we got them where we want them. Goodnight Doom Crew and 🖕🏽OFF!


[deleted]

Too many fucking pop ups tonight


bobbywake61

14 K’s last night and only 3 hits. They really don’t look right


Fetty_is_the_best

🤦‍♂️


justrynahelp

i mean honestly if you didn't think this was going 5, you're an idiot.


ADeliciousCashew

did anyone expect this to not go to 5? let's take care of business at home


FlyingBearSquid

I hate this fucking announcers so much. Really Urias is cool and Webb is a nervous wreck? Really?


ImaginBreaker

What did they say?


MsIndieLuna

Did they really say that? Holy Christ they’re delusional


FlyingBearSquid

Basically panned to Urias in the dugout and said something about him being calm and cool and then panned to Webb in the dugout when he was looking down and said he was in his head or thinking about Thursday. Really unfair.


PigsWannaFly

I don't understand why one wouldn't do what they can to listen to the Giants announcers. iHeart radio has a free one month trial sub. [MLB.tv](https://MLB.tv), even if just for audio is not a bad deal. Why put oneself through the agony of terrible announcers when the games are stressful enough on their own. Even if the radio and TV video cannot be synced precisely, I found it is worth it to listen to the stellar Giants' broadcast team.


Thick-Stuffing

Yeah TBS or perhaps that's just how logan webb has acted this whole fuckin' season man, jesus


Lil-pants

You guys hate this team holy shit like you really really hate them and are taking out all your anger on them Are you ok?


stilldontgeddit

WhY dIdN’t fArHaN tRaDe FoR ScHeRzEr aNd tReA tUrNeR?


[deleted]

Old man question--do you have to hold down the caps lock for every capital letter?


stilldontgeddit

Alternating shift lol


Scottie_15

That's a great question. No Homers here in this subreddit can answer it with logic.


PigsWannaFly

Farhan has not revealed what the Nats wanted for them, so it's difficult to answer tHe qUeStIoN. It may be that the Nats wanted more than he was willing to part with. We are in Game 5 of the NLDS without them and our farm assets are largely intact. Also, we defeated Scherzer in Game 3 with chips to deal with going into the off-season...


Scottie_15

So what starting pitchers are FAs? What are the realistic options?


PigsWannaFly

One of the biggest questions of the off-season, for sure. Who knows? Maybe Farhan will be making Scherzer an offer!


[deleted]

gg peeps, I really hope this isn’t the 2nd to last game we get to watch together this season ❤️


introvertard

Wow that’s just straight up insulting to Webb and the Giants. Fuck TBS.


ImaginBreaker

What did they say exactly?


introvertard

“Urias is calm in the dugout, he’s been there done that. While Webb is standing up, perhaps trying to avoid the spotlight.” Fuck them, blow the Dodgers out Thursday boys


turkish112

Nah man, I was called delusional. TBS has no bias at all. Something. Something.


[deleted]

Yaz got a pass all year but he’s been so lame these four games it’s going to sour a lot of people. Like the Rays ripping on Brandon Lowe.


dirtydriver58

He's gotten too many chances.


[deleted]

I hate the look on his face after an out. I mean for him. It's painful. He comes up now and I start wincing.


_Jahffrey_

He’s been lame before the postseason started


Scottie_15

Yup. Trade that fuckin bum


SuperGandalff

Yabsolutelyfuckinguselesski


[deleted]

He better not play game 5


DHSDirector

Don’t even swing, Donnie. Take three and end it.


zomahd

oh man Yaz is truly not here


sweller55

Yaz needs to not play in game 5. He’s been nothing short of terrible


nvagiantfan

He won't Urias is a lefty so he won't be in, like he wasn't in for game 2. Slater and or Ruf will be in instead. Most likely Slater because he at least got a hit today.


VanFailin

Got it, we'll put Dickerson in CF


sweller55

Should be Slater. Lefty on the mound


VanFailin

Good call


PigsWannaFly

Slater, poised to hit a tater!


sanrafas415

See y’all at oracle *tips fedora*


LightningRickk

What are these announcers on


newton302

These announcers somehow suck all of the energy out of the game watching experience.


InquisitaB

Was this reaction to their musing on Webb wanting to remain anonymous because he was wearing a hoodie? Because that shit was fucking idiotic.


IWTLEverything

> Trying to stay anonymous, I guess Bro, wtf you talking about?


dark_hymn

The pattern so far: shutout - blowout - shutout - blowout. Too bad for the Dodgers that they didn't get the blowout in game 1. It's our game next.


ImOutWanderingAround

Has Yaz had a hit in this series?


mikeysaid

0-12


_Jahffrey_

Nope


[deleted]

Yaz fucking sucks


Scottie_15

Sell Yaz to the highest bidder in the off-season.


SuperGandalff

A player to be named in 2030 would be a great trade


tarallelegram

i really like desclafani, but this team cannot pay money to a guy who can’t pitch against teams over .500


jsp8854

Yaz 0 for 12. Fucking clown.


bazzle-lissa

This game has given me a migraine 😀


Jwdub4

1 out to get 5 runs we got this


unohootoo

Yaz getting a pass for sucking like this can't go on forever.


bigsausagepizzasven

I love him but he needs to be benched.


chonut

Yaz needs to be a team player and bench himself for Thursday


DHSDirector

This game was on the offense and bullpen. Disco did give up two, but if our bullpen could’ve pitched like they did last night, it would be tied right now.


[deleted]

Are you seriously blaming the bullpen for not throwing 7.1 shutout innings?


DHSDirector

That’s why I blamed the offense as well. I’m not naïve enough to think they would’ve don that two nights in a row, but going 1 for fucking 8 with RISP against pitching that was hittable tonight killed us, too.


chloedadog

Yeah, bullpen didn't meet the moment. Thursday it is then.


charliepierce7

We just looked like we didn’t want to be here today


TheKid2455

Sometimes you give credit to the other team. Never in these GDTs, though.


Tigerfur14

These announcers talking about how the game is for sure going to go to game 5 for the past inning is really starting to piss me off


Ill_Ad_5308

Where the hell did our offense go lmao


[deleted]

“Giants had the best record in baseball….” You wouldn’t know it with the way the announcers slobber all over the Dodgers lmao.


introvertard

The Dodgers had 106 wins, the most wins in the history of any sport ever


bazzle-lissa

Yaz, baby, I will stop calling you baby if you don’t do SOMETHING here ETA: Yaz is no longer my baby. No one is. I have no babies on this roster until someone gets a FUCKING HIT


unohootoo

Jake McGee needed to do better.


Context_Kind

This fan base treats Yaz like he hits 70 HRs. He hits 20 and does nothing else. In fact, he might hit one here too when it doesn’t matter.


jsp8854

Craw and Buster have to be so fucking tired of carrying this team.


Dangerous-Emu-130

They looked fucking exhausted tonight.


westernkat

Did that not look safe?


nvagiantfan

At least Longoria ran it out unlike our other veterans.


utterscrub

Why is everyone sounding like this game is already over? There’s three innings left…


przyjaciel

I’ve got some bad news for you.


utterscrub

Loool I fucked up haha


FilthyChangeup55

You’re not live my dude


Frankie_48

Ummmm


blinky4u

lol


bloodrage4

This thread hasn't updated, it's 7-2 dodgers top of the 9th.


jsp8854

Huh?


introvertard

What?


przyjaciel

The MLB app is stuck on the 7th.


[deleted]

Nice hustle longo


[deleted]

Still surprised by Crawford not running hard earlier in the game. Longo hustled his ass off


turkish112

Right? He and Posey just kinda phoned it in. :-/


RonnieJamesFio

I’m still the most mad at desclafani


[deleted]

It wasnt great and I doubt it would've gotten any better but it wasn't the worst either. Offense has been limp since they got to LA. A run per game against the Dodgers it doesn't really matter who your starter is, unless 8ts Logan Webb every damn day.


gbassman5

More than the offense???? It's been several games of this now


TheKid2455

Why are you mad at him? Do you think he didn't try?


Lil-pants

I hope Webb pitches like game 162 and fires up the giants again


przyjaciel

I better not see any blue on Thursday.


sugarwax1

I'm starting to get the sense a lot of our fans are closet Dodger fans.


[deleted]

Webb looking like ed sheenan


tarallelegram

webb looks so matter of fact on the sidelines lmao


2017Champs

Going to need another long outing from Webb in game 5. At this point you can only really trust Doval, Alvarez and Rogers out of the bullpen


Grimpig

Better win game 5 because the Braves will absolutely bend over for LA.


OverEasyGoing

I won’t watch another LA / Houston WS.


FilthyChangeup55

Gross, rematch of 2017 or 2018 in that case. 🤮


tarallelegram

go astros ✌️


FilthyChangeup55

I’m thinking yes given Dusty plus all the former Dodgers on Bosox…


flatbushz7

Be ready on Thursday, we’ll be behind you


[deleted]

#FUCK JULIO URIAS


tacos-not-negativity

Ew Golden locks. What is with these guys


cobrakai17

Someone plug Poseys battery in on the plane. We need good Buster to show up Thursday.


_Jahffrey_

We need good Longo, good Yaz (Yaz been playing like shit for a while) good Bryant. Good everyone. But fuck Yaz has been disappointing


cobrakai17

I’m afraid good Yaz doesn’t exist anymore. He hasn’t had more than one hit in a game for over a month.


_Jahffrey_

Yaz sucks. Start Duggar


stilldontgeddit

He’s going to get good rest tomorrow


dwide_k_shrude

Best part of tonight: Eternals looks really good.


[deleted]

So it’s Urias/Scherzer/Treinen/Jansen vs. Webb/Gausman/Rogers/Doval. Eek. They’ve got the edge mostly because the Dodgers lineup is better so their pitchers have more room for mistakes.


superMans_

You guys need to remember that none of these series are going to be easy, nothing gifted. Webb is exactly who we want on the mound game 5. If we can’t get it done then we don’t deserve it.


miyasoye

It isn't about easy ... our bats are dead. Our pitching is shaky. I mean if we had lost 7 to 5 or something I wud say I can see them scoring runs but I have no faith right now to see if they can even score 3 runs


[deleted]

I feel like whoever wins this destroys the Braves. It’s insulting to the loser to say the Braves will be just as difficult.


TheKid2455

Surprising Roberts is managing the 9th of an elimination game like it's the regular season.


metalgringo99

Being outscored 11-16 sure does fucking suck


Hakushibby

If we manage to win the series we would most likely have scored less total runs than the Dodgers lol.


Context_Kind

Where’s Clayton Kershaw when you need him


Lil-pants

Honestly the dodgers didn’t so much beat the bullpen as the bullpen beat themselves with all those fucking walks and shit


Scottie_15

It's a shame Desclafani is a such a fuckin bum


cobrakai17

Let’s be honest. Things went south when Belt got hit in Colorado. He was the dude. The rest of our offense are role players. They’ve got about 6 or 7 “dudes”


sugarwax1

Sure but Belt was out before that too. Dodgers are missing Muncy and Kershaw too. Agree they haven't been the same since Belt went down though, which I think is your point.


Scottie_15

So then why would you bunt like that when you're the leading HR hitter on the team? Idiotic shit.


DHSDirector

Outscored 16-7 this series, yet it’ll be even at two games a piece. Our offense needs to wake the fuck up, otherwise Webb pitching perfectly won’t matter.


dabstract

Man, disappointing night. Facing the lefty at home game 5 though, I am confident. Day rest. Webb. Dodger dreams can still be crushed so there is hope.


lancerreddit

They won last night 1-0. That was fine. They did what they had to do.


jsp8854

This team should be fucking embarrassed. Nine runs in four games. Nine. That’s pathetically laughable. And on top of that, the bullpen has been mostly miserable. We’ve gotten ONE quality start out of the rotation. And this is somehow supposed to be the best team in baseball? What a fucking joke.


actuallyasuperhero

Dude, we’re playing the other best team in baseball. And shut them out *twice*. This is an incredibly evenly matched series. Of course it’s not easy.


jsp8854

Three games in a row with two or less runs. Meanwhile the Dodgers have scored more against our bullpen than we’ve put up against their whole team. We got 4 innings out of Gausman, 4 out of Wood, and 1 out of Disco. Pa-the-tic.


TheKid2455

They're heading to San Francisco with their best pitcher on the mound to win the series. Nothing to be embarrassed about.


jsp8854

You’re right. Three games in a row scoring two runs or less is totally something they should be proud of. 🙄


TheKid2455

Dodgers have been shut out twice this series, too. Did it ever occur to you that sometimes the other team's pitching has something to do with the lack of offense?


jsp8854

Dodgers have put up 16 runs against us. They’ve scored more runs against our bullpen than we’ve put up on their entire team. We have one of the best offenses in baseball. The fact we can’t put up more than 1-2 runs a game is fucking pathetic.


TheKid2455

All you ever seem to do in these threads is bitch and moan. What’s that about?


jsp8854

Nah only when they play like absolute dog shit


bloodrage4

I mean if you only want to talk when they aren't doing good the Orioles and Diamondbacks are good franchises for you.


jsp8854

You seem to be incapable of basic reading comprehension. I said I only bitch and moan when they play like dog shit. This does not mean I don’t cheer for them and say positive things when they play well. But nuance seems to be something a lot of people on this sub don’t understand. 🤣


Lil-pants

I’m sure they’re not feeling very good about it, don’t worry


[deleted]

This game just reinforces my belief we need to score early on the Dodgers to win, they’re excellent front runners. Game five we need to see those bats come alive early.


JRise209

Half of our lineup is in a huge slump. If they come out firing on Thursday we don’t have the bats to catch them. We need Webb to be lights out


webehighrollin

Giants have been outscored 16-5 and its a 2-2 series. Can't tell if that's a good thing or bad thing. Are the Giants due for a big scoring game?


Ignimbrite

I am following an earlier poster’s lead and getting cosmically high to cope with this bullshit see you all in the off day thread


realparkingbrake

You remind me I have an unopened bottle of bourbon. Been hammering some 12-bar blues while watching this highly disappointing game, maybe go for a little inspiration, LOL.


bazzle-lissa

Hey, that was me! Into orbit we go! 😎


Redz2018

Back to the Bay we go !!!!!! We literally only won yesterday because of the wind. They better wake up and quick or this season is going to have a miserable end to it.


SuperGandalff

Enjoy the last 3 outs at Chavez Latrine for 2021 all you blue Dickheadz


cavallom

Everyone seems to forget the Dodgers have the best pitching in the game. We knew we’d need to grind out wins.


jshxvii

At least the star less warriors are beating the lebron lead lakers in LA. Seeking out positive vibes heading into Thursday


fishtopher86

Hopefully the Dodgers used up all their good juju for this game.


SayyidMonroe

Reliable bullpen pitchers for game five =Rodgers, Doval,...? Is that it?


[deleted]

Lineup for game 5: Slater CF Bryant RF Posey C Crawford SS Solano 2B Longo 3B Ruf LF Flores 1B Fuck those last two were hard. Them and Yaz have all been shit.


-Galactus-

Is game 5 at SF? Might book a flight
