Andujar, El Matador, now has as many hits, homers, and RBI in September as Torres has.
He has TWICE as many hits as Giancarlo has. And the same number of home runs, even though Miggy hit his off one of the league's leading pitchers, and Stanton hit one off a moonlighting catcher.
They DFAed Guzman? I'm surprised. He's a former big leaguer and not only was hitting in Scranton, he's working on also pitching. That's some short leash, alright.
YES just went to other programming, but promises to update us about if and when the game will start.
It's the usual fan torture. The rain delay has already gone on for an hour-and-a-half, but the fans are just supposed to wait and see if they're going to see anyone play.
I'm hoping that hell will include a rain delay for baseball and TV executives (and they'll all be there). A rain delay that last maybe 250 years.
Well, our lads took the series against the invincible, young, and athletic Rays. Showing backbone when it looked like they might collapse. Or did we just catch a glimpse of a Yankee team straight from Brigadoon?
IF...and it's a huge if...but IF Giancarlo and Gleyber suddenly start to hit again, AND the pitching stays more or less stabilized, AND we get Rizzo back in good shape...this team might surprise people. Such as me.
AA, My mom was a strident Irish woman who made the Maureen O’Hara character in The Quiet Man look like Cinderella. She didn’t suffer fools gladly, or at all for that matter. She would’ve halted Hicks more than any of us do.

They can be heroes, just for one day.
ReplyDeleteFucking Marwin again. Jesus.
JM - that's because they DFA'd the big 1B who looked like the love child of Stanton and Gio Urshela.
ReplyDeleteI guess the ducking and barely trotting while grounding into a key double play was what did it.
Shortest leash ever.
Well at least Boone is going with the , "Wrecking Balls" (his term), at the top of the lineup.
RizzO is five/6 days away

Brian Cashman is an idiot. But you knew that!

ReplyDeleteHoss,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start calling you Captain Obvious if you keep it up.
Any hint when game will start? Right now mlb at bay is playing a Giants pregame lol
ReplyDeleteIt's not raining here, but there's a chance of rain until 6 or so. Why they don't just play is beyond me. Their weather service is notably lousy.
ReplyDeleteYeah , guzman is guz-gone. I would have kept him as a late inning defensive sub. He's a good 1B (and an actual 1B)
ReplyDeleteThe game will start at 3:20. Plenty of time for a nap.
ReplyDeleteYES just went to other programming, but promises to update us about if and when the game will start.

Handy walks and crappy AtBat is still playing Giants pregame.
ReplyDeleteHow am k supposed to turn off a game in disgust I can’t even turn on?
ReplyDeleteGleyber Day!!!!
ReplyDeleteMicheal Kay, "So once again the Wrecking balls get on"
ReplyDeleteOh and apparently it's Gleyber Day!
Three run shot. Nice.
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteKarmicly speaking: Doesn't calling Judge and Stanton "The Wrecking Balls" invite a groin injury?
ReplyDeleteDid I miss something with out starting pitcher?
ReplyDeleteYes, why did German leave after the first inning,,, I can't get the radio feed LOL
ReplyDeleteHe was starting on 3 days rest. It was probably his throwing day so he did it in a game instead of on the sideline but it was only one inning.
ReplyDeleteGonna be a long game. Boone is "managing."
ReplyDeleteBut only 14 pitches?
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks Doug! OYE, now it's Weissert, it's not going to be pretty
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting
ReplyDeleteKen- mlb just changed to baseball feed. You can listen now.
ReplyDeleteStanton!
ReplyDeleteThe Glass Giant comes through.
ReplyDeleteEvery time Gleyber comes up to bat my wife says “clitoris is up”…
ReplyDeleteTorres!!!
ReplyDeleteBack to back a belly to belly…
And we ALL LOVE CLITORIS! (Though some not exclusively)
ReplyDeleteRanger,
ReplyDeleteWhy?
Ray’s bullpen showing exhaustion…
ReplyDeleteI guess Torres sounds like cli-TOR-es
ReplyDeleteCabrera!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the John call?
ReplyDelete"Oswaldo! The Wizard of Oz! He homers to right!"
ReplyDeleteTnx
ReplyDeleteOnly rain will beat the Yankees today…
OH NO> I missed the Wizard of OZ call!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess the rain won’t beat them now that it was mentioned…
ReplyDeleteYesterday and today are like the first half of the season. Another tease?
ReplyDeleteJohn and Suzyn are rooting for rain. They must have dinner plans.
ReplyDeleteThe Giants are in midseason form. Down 10-0 and Jones just coughed up a fumble getting sacked. Looks like an imminent Tennessee score.
ReplyDeleteSuzyn's Star- her weather app
ReplyDeleteI've never seen so many dink hits by a team. Tampa isn't exactly tagging the ball.
ReplyDeleteI just tuned into the game. What team is this?
ReplyDelete'61 Yankees
ReplyDeleteWait, nobody told me there was a Peralta-Peralta showdown.
ReplyDeletePeralta won.
How is it we cannot hit Ryan Yarborough, but everybody else in baseball can?
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know!
Giants took too much time on last play of the half and missed out on A FG opportunity
ReplyDeleteTennessee 13, Giants 0 at the half
That's our Jints.
ReplyDeleteBoth NYC baseball teams scored at least much as the Jets today.
ReplyDeleteShaping up to be another terrific fall in the Big Apple.
TD by Barkley, who is running amok today.
ReplyDeleteAnd...Giants blow the snap on the PAT.
Incredible, your leading running back has nearly 120 yards, your QB is 9-11...and you have 6 points, well into the third quarter.
As for the Jets, they have not won a September game since 2018.
Go Knicks.
ReplyDelete2 big plays have the Giants tied
ReplyDeleteThat was some bomb to Shepard.
ReplyDeleteHolmes is not the Holmes who won the closer role. That's kind of a problem.
ReplyDelete10-4, good buddy.
ReplyDeleteTHUUUUUHHHHHHH....
ReplyDeleteDo you think the rain will hurt the rhubarb?
ReplyDeleteWell, our lads took the series against the invincible, young, and athletic Rays. Showing backbone when it looked like they might collapse. Or did we just catch a glimpse of a Yankee team straight from Brigadoon?
ReplyDeleteBTW, any news of German?
ReplyDeleteGoing for two by the Giants was the ballsiest call since christ left Chicago. Can they hold on?
ReplyDeleteOh, rain is always good for the farmers, AA. My mother used to tell me so.
ReplyDeleteI'll say, 999! LOVE to see that—and it seemed to really jack the team up.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to tell me “Close your mouth, you’re catching flies”. ….unlike Hicks
ReplyDeleteIF...and it's a huge if...but IF Giancarlo and Gleyber suddenly start to hit again, AND the pitching stays more or less stabilized, AND we get Rizzo back in good shape...this team might surprise people. Such as me.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the real key is Tots Bader!
Ahh, zebras seem bent on taking the game away from the Jints.
ReplyDeleteHO LEE FUK!
ReplyDeleteThe Giants win! Where’s John Sterling?
The GIIIIIIIIIIANTS WIN!
ReplyDeleteThat was incredible. The balls on Dabol! The effort of Barkley. Truly great!
Giants won?
ReplyDeleteVery ballsy move by Dabol. I didn't agree with it but..
ReplyDeleteThe Titan kicker pulled a Scott Norwood. It would have been another Giants find a way to lose ending.
I didn't see it. A win? Incredible.
ReplyDeleteBorn to Run:
ReplyDeleteYour Mother followed Hicks on Facebook?
AA, My mom was a strident Irish woman who made the Maureen O’Hara character in The Quiet Man look like Cinderella. She didn’t suffer fools gladly, or at all for that matter. She would’ve halted Hicks more than any of us do.
ReplyDeleteBTR,
ReplyDeleteAre you secretly Johnny Dangerously?
Or just little Johnny Kelly?
My mom was the same way - exactly.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they couldn’t be running the Yankees
Not a Jints fan—but what a gutsy move by their coach! I'd like to trade his balls for Boone's.
ReplyDeleteMetaphorically speaking.
Hoss, not metaphorically. Actually. Balls of Steel transplant. We have the technology.
ReplyDeleteSo they just let McCullers of the hook. Prepare for 8 innings of relentless ineptitude.
