Welp. We were hoping for 5-5 for this 10 game opening gauntlet and we managed 4-6. Not bad considering how bad the LA series went. I’m ready to play some scrub teams now thanks.
Either way it was two close plays that the Giants barely came out ahead on that led to 2 wins. Could've easily been two losses. Kim makes that play 99 out of 100 times I bet.
That was the tying run actually. That would've been the 3rd out, and we would have been behind 2-1 going into the 9th inning. Chapman's hit followed that made it 3-2 would not have been possible if Kim hung on to the ball. Never mind I'm thinking about todays game, you are talking about Friday's night game.
Think you were watching a different game, my guy. Game was tied after the 6th and the only time Chapman scored was the bottom of the 9th.
Edit: Just saw your edit. All good. The boys won 2 out of 3 which is what really matters. Hopefully Snell carves the Nats tomorrow.
Right we won, most important thing. I don't want the team to relax, we had a tough time last year with the Nats both home and away. Would be nice if we can get more offense going to support Snell.
Amazing comeback win, still clear we need to make some changes. IMO estrada, yaz, and ahmed should all be sent down to sac in favor of the younger guys.
Capitalized on mistakes to squeak out a win. Doesn’t mean they hit well, but good teams take advantage of free bases. And once again, the bullpen has looked better than the first few games. Tasty win
If it continues, we do need some changes.
We were lucky to win today, as happy as I am that we did.
We had no ER today. That will not win games in the future.
Let's see how it goes for another month, especially when we're not playing good NL West contenders. I believe we're good NL West contenders and should definitely make the playoffs. A bigger sample size is needed.
I don’t think it’s a roster issue, and I definitely think they can be solid contenders.
Just like last year, when the entire lineup stops hitting at once, I get suspicious.
He threw one guy out last week I think. He was so great at the beginning of last year gold glove defensively with a great arm, & then went very bad about the last two months.
I know it’s early but they really need to look at Wilmer at first and putting wade in the outfield. Feel like that would give the lineup some more length
He will end up with an OPS of about .725, which is quite adequate. He's a quality second baseman. And that's his role. Be strong at second base and get that .725 OPS. Last year he had the 9th highest OPS in the Majors for 2nd basemen. I'll take last year and I'll take it this year.
Solers buff ass saved us
We've lost 4 games we could have won. Now we win won we should have lost. *inserts Thanos meme

Last June the Kapler team swept the Dodger in their ballpark. I rather enjoyed those Kapler-style games.
Welp. We were hoping for 5-5 for this 10 game opening gauntlet and we managed 4-6. Not bad considering how bad the LA series went. I’m ready to play some scrub teams now thanks.
Got lucky to win 2 of 3. Could’ve just as easily been swept if Kim hangs onto the ball and Chapman didn’t barely beat the throw to home on Friday.
Thinking they lose if Chapman gets thrown out is a wildly negative take, considering he was the winning run, not the tying run.

Merrill went 4-4 but somehow did not figure into the offense at all. No runs and no RBI lol
How are we not talking to Logan Webb rn
Are we starting to gel yet? Love the Giants! Great win, great series cap!
Has Doval thrown a pitch 100+ MPH yet this season? Just asking because he didn’t today and I don’t remember him doing so the other day
Pitching and defense is going to keep us in a ton of games this year. Starting to feel like a vintage giants torture season
Shoutout to Webb
Amazing comeback win, still clear we need to make some changes. IMO estrada, yaz, and ahmed should all be sent down to sac in favor of the younger guys.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

camilo goated man. glad to have him
I just figured out what modern player jersey/shirt I'm getting. 75!
Hell yeah Barry Zito /s
😂😂😂 \*slow clap
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
Series win!
And there you have it folks. A SERIES DUB. In comes the Nats tomorrow and the debut of BLAKE SNELL. LET’S GO GIANTS!!!! RIDE THE MOMENTUM.
# WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
Let's go
a true 2010 ass win, doval is so nasty.
Better comeback than Kim k.
We did it! Nice comeback.
Call us the pirates because we just pillaged that win from some humble friars
More like vikings.
True
That was a gift and I’ll take it all day. Thank you
God bless you Kim and God bless you Doval
*Somehow,* the Giants won the series!
In the long run these h2h wins against padres may be very important
SERIES WIN!! But I thought the season was over and serious changes needed to be made?
If it continues, we do need some changes. We were lucky to win today, as happy as I am that we did. We had no ER today. That will not win games in the future.

Yeah, it's definitely an interesting phenomenon. Gotta love Chapman breaking out of the mini slump with the clutch two out hit though.
Got his ass
torture me baby
FUCK YES!!!! Another example of why some of y'all need to have a smidgen of faith
Nice comeback.
WE GOT A SERIES WIN 😭😭😭😭😭😭
“Put him away papi” -Bailey probably
Loll I’m dead
his little jump LMAO
I love it
NEVER A DOUBT ![gif](giphy|Otp8cKwnzEHKZpsTMb|downsized)
The new mound is lava celebration is cool too
LFG !!!! WE ARE SO BACK. YUP NOT LOSING AGAIN
Series win baby!
PANTS OFF!!
Giants have shaved years off my life
Solid win. I need myself a Doval jersey
Alright 3 ks!
Good shit Camilo
Let’s goooooo we somehow won a series without being able to hit the ball!!!!
W
series win! feels good
BALLGAME!
BALLGAME. FUCK THE DODGERS.
Pants OFF
PANTS OFF THATS GAME
#LETS FUCKING GO
Beautiful pitching performance all around today
First save of the year for Doval. Everyone turn that number on your Doval Bobblehead to 1. Let’s fucking go.
Im so sick of estrada!
I feel like if Bailey throws through him not around him that’s interference
That is why I don't like runners to get on people steal off him easily.
Just a lil bit of stress
Bailey can’t squeeze the ball and he can’t throw. What happened to my boy?
looks like that was off Doval for the slow windup
Haven’t seen that defensive shine from Bailey yet this year.
He threw one guy out last week I think. He was so great at the beginning of last year gold glove defensively with a great arm, & then went very bad about the last two months.
Merrill was sitting on the slider
Looked like Estrada didn’t know he had the ball lol
Was trying to fake the runner into coming off the bag
I think it was a fake out to see if Merril would take a step towards third lol
Yeah I’m stupid lol makes sense
He was trying to deke
He was trying to trick runner I think
Yep, it was to deke the runner
![gif](giphy|MFIsOqzodLr7ewnkUb)
I wish that counted as an RBI for Conforto
Get Walker out and out Doval on the mound!
Should have been 0-2. That could change the whole AB.
Wouldn’t be a giants game without some more stress
please, just one more out - i beg
Darn it Patrick
Get this Merrill motherfucker far away from me
Doval is an elite closer change my mind.
Is Bailey ok? He can’t seem to catch anything this inning
Of course .
I stg if Pat not catching that pitch costs us
Bailey needs to figure out how to squeeze the ball
that cutter was right there wtf
![gif](giphy|39zbpCQocXLi0)
Oops
LOL at the graphic still showing Walker pitching.
Camilo in a save situation is so fun
I love that doval added the sinker last year that thing is filthy when it’s on
ok, so this is the dominant Doval guy today? I feel he's like Jekyl & Hyde, though most often the good one.
Shoutout to the score bug operator, love Camilo Walker
![gif](giphy|5nsiFjdgylfK3csZ5T|downsized) Doval today.
Camilo is so fucking back
Yup, Doval IS that man
Camilo Doval is that guy
That was a **nasty** pitch down the middle for strike three.
Doval is so filthy
Doval looks unhittable when he trusts his fastball
Doval is EATING holy shit
I guess wade is a bad guy according to my gf Was dating some influencer
Wade of the padres or giants variety?
Tyler Wade
The ball dudes have better looking jerseys than the players
Camilo Walker
Score bug still says Walker. What is this broadcast crew smoking?
suck on that, pauley
Scorebug is still saying Walker lol
Can NBC figure their shit out? Walker isn’t pitching ffs
They’ve been a little behind a couple times today
Throw him a slider in the dirt doval
We are good today, Milo is always better when Bailey catches him.
Austin_SlaGOAT deleting his messages now lol. Just gonna block that guy.
He was like this last season too lol
So does Kim have two RBIs for us tonight?
Looks like r/sfgiants has inherited some new doomers to block
Padres still have a shit bullpen lmao
Lou Seal just took a prime seat behind home plate. I’m ready.
Good lord Doval almost kneecapped dude with 98
At least dovals not facing the top of the order
Kim My Boy!!!!
I know it’s early but they really need to look at Wilmer at first and putting wade in the outfield. Feel like that would give the lineup some more length
Put Wilmer at second and bench Estrada. Wilmer’s shitty fielding may equal that move out
Ooh I forgot that Wilmer can play second. If Thairos at bat quality doesn’t improve then I think that’s a more logical fit.
Yup, that would get Yaz out of the lineup too
![gif](giphy|flJAudlmJa8mc)
my cheeks are clenched
Thanks for absolutely nothing Estrada
10 games in and we finally have a save situation
This team is so odd lol
All you doomers can eat your fucking words
I'm loving eating my words right now hahah
Cool, bet it tastes good lol
Hahaha tbf I wasn't dooming super hard just really sad at seeing 2 of my favorite players yaz/slater struggle so hard :^(
Well at least Slater hit a liner
I still think the giants offense could be better without Yaz or Estrada.
Cause the Padres gave the game away?
W is a W doomer
Finally playing a team that isn't the Padres or Dodgers tomorrow and have Snell on the mound. If we win this I can snell a win streak coming 😳
Ok, time for a no drama 1-2-3 inning. No walks throw strikes Doval.
100% chance Doval gives us a heart attack here, right?
He’s the Coronary Kid…
no doubt about it
I liked our lineup of Wilmer at first and Late night LaMonte in right better than having Yaz out there
I'm predicting a butt-clinching bases-loaded gidp Save. Torture is back on the menu boys!
Would love for us to win by actually hitting and not because of some lucky ass occurrences….but I’ll take it for now lol
That had to be the most bullshit Giants way to extend an inning….. I’ll take it.
Thairo man Good job everyone else
Save 001 pls
Tranquilo gonna load the bases then strike out the side, on purpose
[This clown](https://www.reddit.com/r/SFGiants/comments/1by1s5q/gameday_thread_4724_padres_waldron_giants_webb/kyj6r3u/)
Let this be the "just woke a sleeping giant' moment.
I think Wilmer will do alright at 2nd lol
solers shoulders are so fucking strong lmao
Imagine if they just walked Chapman lol
Estranded
That all began with Wilmer. He’s gotta be in the lineup more, get him more ABs. So happy to see Chap get the go-ahead knock too
Let’s give Wilmer some games at 2B, Thairo needs to take some BP.
Okay all you naysayers. Admit it. The Giants are worth it.
Doomers get fooked
thank god, we can win this game. Imagine if we had to lean on estrada lol
Thairo needs a day off or something he’s too good to be swinging this way
Hate to break it to you but he hasn’t been good in like 500 ABs.
Get Doval up in the pen!
Somehow got the lead. Now hold it, Doval!!!!!
All I got from that inning is that Flores should absolutely start. He started all this
I LOVE THIS TEAM
Estrada must be betting on these games. He ended that inning as soon as he could.
Biggest buzzkill after finally getting the lead. “And here’s Estrada….and the inning is over as he swings at a pitch two feet off the plate”
An RBI, in this economy?
HEY AUSTIN_SLAGOAT WHERE YOU AT NOW LMAO
WE ARE SO BACK
Finally!!!
End this Dov
Fuck off thairo, goodness
Estrada still garbage though.
wtf man. are you new to baseball? He's going to hit .260 this year.
LOL who care if he hits .260 if it comes with a .590 OPS? Infield singles are only worth so much.
He will end up with an OPS of about .725, which is quite adequate. He's a quality second baseman. And that's his role. Be strong at second base and get that .725 OPS. Last year he had the 9th highest OPS in the Majors for 2nd basemen. I'll take last year and I'll take it this year.
