Game Thread: 07.28.18 Winners @ .500

He looked terrible out there.

I fear he's going to have to have TJ, and basically not be right until April 2020.

Cutch could help some team, he isn’t helping us.

They also announced that a new way to get on the Wall of Fame is 3 World Series titles as a Giant.

It use to just be 10 years with the Giants, or five with an All-Star appearance. The latter rules meant the Core Four would never have a chance.

3 WS. How convenient! Why not four?

I’m afraid you are right. Bringing him back to win now may have cost him a lost season.

 

[Stokes1931]

Dumb code, IMO

At what point is stealing 3rd not OK? 10 run lead? Is it always OK? Stealing 3rd with a large lead seems superfluous to me. A hit would get the run in from 2nd anyway. Glad Huntley threw him out.

I was saying that when he first went on the dl and they were wanting to have him rest instead of TJ surgery.

Longo watches three identical pitches to the identical spot to strike out.

They need to shut him down. I hope we lose the next 3 so we will know it's time to pull the plug on trying this year.

I mean we already know but then the brass will have cover

 

[LHG]

I think it is safe to say that defense at 1st base has gone down a bit.

 

[Hangman]

Just make him have TJ already. He stinks now. Longer delayed the longer we don't have him. But that is not a real issue anyways as he can't win with no UCL. As someone who had it I know the recovery sucks. But throwing with no UCL is upsetting.

NFL season can't come soon enough

Did you require the surgery from playing ball?

I don't have a problem anytime personally. Stealing bases is part of the game.

Now that was a pretty dumb time to steal regardless of the score. He was already in scoring position.

I mean with this team, stealing up 2-0 could be considered 'unsportsmanlike'

Yes

 

[1phlapdown]

So now that Jr is the ace, I wonder how much of an advantage he has against the usual pitching injuries, by being a convert?

 

[LHG]

Yes

Did you get the surgery in high school or college?

 

[LHG]

So much for getting back to .500. Maybe they win the last three games of the month and start August over .500.

 

[Hangman]

In between high school and college, Injured my arm playing basketball after my last game. Tore my rotator cuff, laberum and triceps. When i was rehabbing my arm after surgery I tore my UCL. I could no longer throw hard with my right arm so I started trying to pitch left handed and tore that UCL too. They just sewed that ligament together and let it heal that way instead of tommy john. But matching scars.

I went from throwing in the low 90s in high school to now I can't throw a ball more than 25 yards. And the ligament in my arm is not where it should be so it grabs and pops when I throw so I don't do it much anymore.

 

[Stokes1931]

Giants' slash line post-ASB

.218/.262/.345

In 8 games, they have 16 walks, and scored 26 runs and given up 34 (difference of one run per game)

Ain't going to get it done.
