Hey, pretty good game. Giants played better. And won!

The lowly #SFGiants take two of three on the road from the league-leading Brewers with a 7-1 romp and two 9th inning comebacks.

The most interesting thing goin on in the NL West now is that the #Padres are only 1 game behind the #Dodgers in 1st place & have 2 games to play to take 1st place away from them.

After all of the games that the Giants recently lost to the Padres, there's no point rooting for the Giants, except when they're playing against other NL West teams but now that they are firmly rooted in 4th place behind the Dodgers, Padres & #Dbacks . . .

I'm rooting for the #Padres to #BeatLA!!!!! 👏👏👏

Go Padres!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

@SilverArrows My wife remarked at the time how random the officiating was in that game. It wasn't biased to favor one team or the other — just BAD. That included not only the umpires on the field, but also the review officials in New York. IIRC we all thought the #SFGiants player stayed on first base, too. He used both feet and one hand to do it, but at no time was his body entirely out of contact with the bag (assuming I'm not confusing two different plays). He was robbed on the review.

Actually IIRC the home plate umpire was the worst. Balls were continually being called as strikes, and strikes as balls. He just couldn't see the strike zone!

@SilverArrows The #SFGiants PLAYERS are classy. The owners and managers, not so much. Posey (owner) and Melvin (manager), in particular, are real pieces of work. Their abuse has demoralized a team that ought to be in pennant contention to the point that they're nearly in the cellar instead.

You know Blake Snell, a recent (and sweet) addition to your beloved #Dodgers' bullpen? He used to be the best pitcher for the #SFGiants. Admittedly the #Dodgers lured him away with a very sweet deal, but the SF owners and managers seemingly didn't even try to retain him.

They traded away one of their best relievers, Tyler Rogers, the "Submariner", who demonstrated again and again that underhand pitching could work in the major leagues. He was effective AND tremendous fun to watch.

And the way they treated one of their best all-around fielders, batters, and base runners: Tyler Fitzgerald. He was a superb base-stealer, but they overplayed his abilities in that department. Again and again they told him to go for it in impossible situations — then blamed HIM when he got thrown out trying to steal. They TWICE sent him down to the minors! Currently he's back playing for the Giants. I hope he stays that way!

You get the idea. Believe me, there are many more examples. This kind of behavior is how you turn winners into losers.

@SilverArrows San Diego just played my wife's (and mother-in-law's) team, the San Francisco Giants (she's from the San Francisco Bay Area, although we presently live in Mississippi). The #SFGiants had been doing so badly they had a 1–15–1 record in home games, equaling the record for the all-time worst start to a season in home games, which they had themselves set — in 1901[!] (as the New York Giants, before they moved to California along with the #Dodgers). Last night they'd finally managed a win, so as to avoid setting a new record — against the miserable Tampa Bay #Rays.

Now they faced one of the strongest teams in the league — in the running for the pennant — in San Diego. We braced ourselves for a dismal massacre. Instead, the #SFGiants got 3 homers, for a total of 4 runs, in the first inning! They never scored again — but their pitching, which had hitherto been a particular area of trouble, managed to keep San Diego mostly under control. Final score: #SFGiants won 4–3.

This is a team that can beat anyone in the league. And they might be doing it, too, if their managers would treat them right.

@cwgrody @baseball
I forgot it was a day game. Had it set to record though. Sounds like I shouldn’t waste my time. ☹️

It was oh so promising this spring. I went to Arizona (first time) this year. They #sfgiants looked great. Lots of energy. Timely hitting. Verlander in particular looked sharp. This is really disappointing.

I miss Yaz.

Game day in San Francisco. I was looking forward to seeing Giants starting pitcher Justin Verlander. He didn’t have a very good outing, though, allowing 11 hits and five runs in five innings (though he did record his 3,500th strikeout) on the way to an 8-0 loss to the Nationals. But any day at the ballpark is a good day, amirite? #mlb #sfgiants

Ms. Missy

Another quality start, Verlander. 😡

The Gage/Gilbert game went well for the #SFGiants. A shutout win and while Gilbert went 0-fer, he made some great plays in right. And it’s a W!

The starting pitcher for the Giants tonight is Matt Gage.

Who is Matt Gage??? 🤔

Apparently he's a relief pitcher in his 2nd start as a pitcher for the Giants, who pitched only 2 innings last Tues in relief of Webb when the Giants beat the #Pirates 8-1 a few day ago.

The Giants are over .500 again, beating the Pirates this morning (noontime in Pittsburgh) 4-2. Jerar Encarnacion launched a 442' HR in this one.
