This game filled up my Shitshow Bingo card:
1. Umpjackery -- first two Giants hitters
2. Baseclownery -- Slater picked off at second
3. Moundshattery -- Jelly and Roupp
4. Mittfuckery -- Chap
5. Batdouchery -- Forto, Soler, Estrada, Fitz
wash it off....get 'em Friday.
Tyro and Fitz say "Happy Phuking Birthday, LHG! Here's a swift kick in your balls."
The will to lose is strong in this team today.
Also, the ump sucks. Neither Slater nor Flores struck out on legit calls.
I don't think Cobb is eligible to come off the IL until late May.
With the days off this and next week, we won't need a fifth starter until 5.4 in Philly. I'd imagine they carry Roupp until then. 8 games to figure out if that start will be Roupp, Black, Jefferies, or Seymour.
Or, another opener.
Lets hope. Dudes looking more and more like a second half piece now. OTOH, it does potentially open up a spot for Cobb in a couple weeks if Snell is still rehabbing. In the interim I'd think Mason Black will get the call.

I really hope Snell isn't seriously hurt...
I was thinking about this. I'm not that concerned with Cobb. He's a vet; if his body is right I expect him to be pretty good. Ray, OTOH, I wouldn't expect a ton out of this year. Takes time for those guys to get all the way back. I think FZ was making more of a 2025 play with him.

This has all the earmarks of a TZill approved game. Severino is no joke. Spider will have to be on his game.
Also, forgot to mention: Camilo has a pretty cool entrance now. They turn off all the lights and shade the field in red with a spotlight on him as he jogs in.
Pretty, pretty, pretty...cool.
