IGT 6/25/17 - NYM@SFG - All This Winning is Terrible

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Giants do great promos, in contrast to the Mets.

How embarrassing is it now that the Braves have joined those clubs completely kicking our promotional asses with the Freeze guy, while the best the Mets can do is junk the awful and derivative "car race" of last year for a similarly lame "car race" this year, the only difference being they pedal instead of run.

Geez Montero sucks toda, again!

[ashie62]

Please be healthy Conforto.

"Derivative" is too kind a word. It shouldn't be that hard for a New York team to distinguish themselves.

Meanwhile, Conforto comes out for Nimmo. Straight to the x-ray machine, young man!

[Edgy MD]

Man, Raffy is not getting the callz.

[Chad ochoseis]

Raffy shows some heart. Duda shows some brain.

[Edgy MD]

I'd probably have given Monty the chance to finish the inning. But he walks off on a positive.

[Frayed Knot]

As soon as the Giants started their runners on those two pitches (first one fouled off) I was thinking Triple Play ... almost got it but Posey's "liner" was too soft.

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, everything is just going wrong for the Giants this year, huh?

[Frayed Knot]

Nice outing from Montero.
I think he'll always nibble a bit too much but he has to to some extent and today he kept the walks to a reasonable level.
Plus most of the hits were kinda soft and there were only one or two hard outs ( a couple of liners to Bruce come to mind).

[Edgy MD]

Span just isn't a starting centerfielder anymore. He's covering less ground than Granderson out there.

Those fucks are gonna wind up with OUR draft pick next year and we'll never recover. Damn it all to hell.

[Edgy MD]

THROW THE PITCH!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

If I can deviate from pretending i want the Mets to lose for a second, it feels like we ought to be leading by about 9 or 10 by now.

[Frayed Knot]

Yup! They've left a lot of tack-on opportunities out there.
Fortunately that never comes back to bite us.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Well, they've left like 18 men on base.

Bruce and Duda have missed some big opportunities.

Until now, sucka!

[Frayed Knot]

Another FB that Span failed to get to.

[Edgy MD]

Very walky game by Nimmo. And he runs out his walks.

Curious if he gets a start or two while Conforto heals.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get some Chasen Bradford in there!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Overusing the key relievers... again?

NICE tank move, Terry! #backontrack

No way! You have to use Blevins while up 6 runs because he didn't pitch yesterday and there's a day off tomorrow. His arm might fall off if he doesn't pitch 3 days in a row (even though he pitched Thursday and Friday and warmed up yesterday).

Of course you use Chasen "Down The Wind" Bradford up 6 in the 8th.

[Guest 41Forever]

Cabrera seems to struggle at second base, too.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

See, no sunglasses and calling off the CF while going back awkwardly? Cabrera's a team player. Watch him, and MAYBE YOU'LL LEARN SOMETHING, RIVERA

[Edgy MD]

This is a rally of cheapie after cheapie.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

BOOOOOOO1!1!!! Terrible AND fascist, Salas.

[Guest 41Forever]

Curtis Ker-splash!

[Guest 41Forever]

Hey, Buster Olney. Tell your "sources" that we are buyers!

* Except for Cabrera. We can still trade him.
