I'll take a "Fire Donny" gif instead

Rehire Ned Colletti

Rehire Ned Colletti

He's already on staff.

 

[JDeluis]

This Dodgers game reminds me of last year playoff. AJ Ellis with the home run and the rest of team takes the day off. And the bull pen just as awful.

He'll trade Puig, Ethier and JT for Posey.


Hehehehe

 

[see5harp]

Mad Bum with a pinch hit and a run? Half of the lineup is out but damn dude is impressive.

 

[JDeluis]

Damn Turner has had an awful night. And apparently there was a fight a few rows back of the Dodgers dugout. Damn Raider fans.

Lol probably L.A./Oakland Raider fans fighting each other

Ned has always had a hard on for the Giants. He even cried when they won the World Series in 2010. Dude acts like an ex-girlfriend.

Raider fan smelled a Charger fan and tried to stab him. Lol.

Country Breakfast <3

edit: nothing wrong with that win gif

 

[JDeluis]

At least Kershaw didn't get the loss. Too bad his best pal AJ was the only one that came through today.

 

[geeko]

Thanks A's!

Great comeback win.

 

[Corran Horn]

A's!

You freakin lovable elephants.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Thank you A's bros!!

 

[see5harp]

Bless Oakland. They finally won a 1 run game!

FanGraphs - Sergio Romo and his no-dot slider:

&#8220;The way I see my slider &#8212; other than different &#8212; is that it&#8217;s my 95,&#8221; said Romo. The slider has become his fastball, and his fastball has become the pitch he picks and chooses. &#8220;Just like other pitchers have to pick and choose with their breaking stuff because it&#8217;s not their best pitch,&#8221; Romo agreed.

The reason it works so well for Romo, though, is that no-dot approach. Most sliders spin around an axis that creates a red dot from the spinning seams. Like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gG_ywlBofs

Perhaps because of the way Romo grips the pitch with his two fingers separated, or the fact that there&#8217;s so much white facing the batter because of the way he holds the seams, or because it&#8217;s a very horizontal (almost curve-ball esque) pitch thrown from a low arm angle, there isn&#8217;t a tell-tale red dot on his slider.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Braves are now 2-17 in their last 19 away games, 13-8 in their last 21 home games.

 

[BumRush]

Have Tyler pitch the 9th.

No I get that. Who pitches the 8th?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Man what's up with Pence this year.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Safe to say the Bay Area has the win.gif game locked down

Been gone. Can't be in last place twice and keep yo job.

Especially when you do things like let Jon Lester walk (EDIT:Trade him for a four month rental and then fail to resign him when he's keen to come back) and then turn around and give Rick Porcello 80 million before he pitched a game for your club.

And when you spend 180 million American dollars to play Hanley Ramirez in the outfield and turn Pablo Sandoval permanently into a left-handed batter. Although I suppose some of that falls on Farrell too.

This thread has given non-Giants fans a reason to hope the Giants win.

 

[graffix13]

Royals win!

Medlen with a potential game-winner. lol

Loved the way Medlen hustled down the line too after that bunt.

And while Medlen's bunt scored the game winner, we don't win that game without Zobrist ending Chapman's home save streak.

We need a 'Kneel before Zob' meme or something. That guy is so good.

Agreed, especially with how long that streak was. I'm really glad that Medlen got the win too since he hadn't had one since Sept 2013. Mainly because of Tommy John, but still. Hope he can get, at least, one or two starts before the end of season. I would love to see him start.

If they do make it to playoffs, I'm pretty sure they win it all again. Look at how many injuries they have right now and they're only two game behind the Dodgers.

People keep saying the Cardinals are the ones sacrificing animals to have all these wins. How many animals are the Giants sacrificing a day. lol

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I went to sleep during the game. I see I was right all along.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Byrd is the GOAT

[Lambtron]

Can Ervin Santana hurry up and piss hot two more times so he's kicked out of MLB? What a fucking bum.

 

[zroid]

if the Twins get perfecto'd by Eovaldi then I think we can all agree they should be relegated to AAA

 

[sangreal]

so uh, Eovaldi huh

 

[Malo]

Pinstripe alley @pinstripealley: Since 2002, the Yankees are 80-29 against the Twins, including playoffs. That's a .734 winning percentage & a 118-win pace... SEEMS DECENT.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I remember when Eovaldi gave up like 8 runs to the Marlins in the first inning and I completely wrote him off. He's come a long way since then.

 

[Malo]

What a bullshit hit

 

[zroid]

you're safe Twins... for now

 

[sangreal]

always the lamest bloop hits that do it in

 

[SRTtoZ]

2 cheap ass hits.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Is this the at home Doyer fan version of leaving the park early?

 

[lazybones18]

Would love to hear the John Sterling call on the HR

 

[Lambtron]

What a bullshit hit

The Yankees have more than their fair fucking share of these against the Twins for the last 15 years.

 

[SRTtoZ]

102mph? Is the gun broke?

You know of the twins' futility against the Yankees. Why not get a free pizza out of it?

0 to 100 real quick this inning.

 

[jbug617]

Seems like Utley is going to be traded today. Twitter says it's probably Angels or Dodgers because that Utley's preference.

I wanted them to get perfecto'd in the hopes they'd actually call up Buxton, to be honest.

Pinstripe Alley@pinstripealley: Too easy. Broadway play. It was meant to be. RT @djshort "Bye bye Birdie" - John Sterling on Greg Bird's first HR.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Cheapest inning ever.

 

[zroid]

dodgers plz

 

[Ninja Scooter]

what the hell do the Dodgers need a 2B for?
