I get the charm of it, but it's probably best to move the mound off the sidelines. Wrigley Field found a way, so can the Giants.

I have always hated on-the-field bullpens. Dangerous, ugly, in the way...

 

[calsnowskier]

Yeah, but I don't remember them pulling out a pad and pencil and making notes while doing it.

That’s the part where “I wasn’t paying attention at the time” plays a part...

 

[SFGRTB]

Natural situation for a quick concussion protocol check.

Back to the bench.

It might be best to take him out, just to be safe.

Understood, it just seems like a weird time to note something.

I don’t know how accurate this is, but I heard that AT&T has on-the-field pens because they forgot all about bullpens when they designed the place, so instead of redesigning everything, they just plopped them in foul territory.

IDK if this is true, but I've heard they literally just forgot to plan for it. Which I find incredulous for a baseball franchise.

It would probably be incredibly expensive, but it'd be sweet if they put the bullpens underground directly where they are now. Then when the pitcher is summoned, they walk up through the ground.

 

[LHG]

Geez, what is it with our guys on defense and taking shots to the head?

First...




Second...

The Pads moved their pens to the outfield a few years back. AT&T cant put them in right or center, but maybe in/near the garden? I think by rule, they have to be visible from the field, so underground wouldn’t work...

He is a catcher. That is just the cost of doing business.

 

[1phlapdown]

Trout hit otro HR.

 

[LHG]

Did you all hear the report on Will Smith?

 

[LHG]

Yeah, but I still don't like it. Especially after the mini scare with Williamson an inning earlier.

 

[SFGRTB]

Did you all hear the report on Will Smith?

Yes

 

[SFGRTB]

Mac fucking attack

 

[LHG]

I think that Williamson guy needs to be sent back down. He doesn't seem to have the power to play here. Oh wait . . .

 

[Hangman]

Mac flexing. And you wanted to take him out of the game!!!

 

[calsnowskier]

That’s how you do that!!

 

[SFGRTB]

True.

Head injuries are no joke though

I was researching the bullpen story when Amy G was talking so I missed it. I heard Kuip say “that’s great news”, so I assume it was good news?

 

[SFGRTB]

Williamson is ambushing the first pitch. Last night it was a fastball, tonight a curveball
