Arrieta's melting down an inning earlier than usual :thunk:

e: Oh never mind, strikeout and GIDP is good :toot:

The Giants offense is melting down worse than any pitcher could

If you told me at the beginning of the year that Parker and Moncrief would be our best outfielders I actually wouldn't know who you were talking about.

Yeah but OTOH if you told me two random people I'd never heard of would be better than Pence and Span I think I'd believe it

Buster just assumed that somehow it'd be called a GIDP despite hitting off a fan/wall

Strickland's method of "throw really hard down the middle" is showing its usual effectiveness

I guess Posey figures since he's not catching he might as well pad his stolen bases

Meanwhile the Giants pulled Dyson out of the scrap heap and he's been a better closer for them than the guy they paid $62m.

Dyson's been better than like the entire bullpen has been in the last 3 seasons, and he's not amazing or anything-- the Giants bullpen is just that bad.

Also possibly the best move the Giants have made is to just let the Pirates have Kontos.

Every time I check on the game it's in the bottom of an inning because Hendricks is taking a million years to pitch and throwing a billion balls

Is MadBum bad now or just recovering still?

This is better than he's usually throwing in August.

I know the score is tied 1-1 so I can't complain too much, but man this is the worst I've seen Kyle pitch maybe ever.

Unsurprisingly the ump misses strike 3 and then the Giants manufacture a hit for the other team

Last Giants win I was present in person for was Tim Lincecum in 2014 lol

I'm not sure which is less likely: A 2014 Tim Lincecum win or a 2017 Giants win

Of course Chris Stratton has one of the best starts by a Giants pitcher.

Yeah but Matt Cain looked great in his final Spring Training start, ergo,
