sgt1372, Wow!!! 🥳
The #Giants come back from 2-6 to score 5 runs in the top of the 8th to win today's game w/the #Pirates 7-6.
The rally was fueled by a 3 run HR by Chapman -- his 3rd HR in 3 days during the series. 👏
Tyler Rogers (RH) got the save.
So, the Giants took the series 2-1 and are now only 1 game below .500 at 25-26. 🙂
Details to follow after I watch the game off of my DVR & study the final box score further.
sgt1372,
luis_in_brief, @sgt1372 these are always weird.
thelinuxcast, So I haven't been paying much attention to the #SFGiants so far, only once in a while noticing that they're not very good. But I looked today and saw they're second in the NL West. 2 Games below .500, but second place? Wooboy, looked at the standings and wow. NL West sucks. Looks like the effin' Dodgers are going to walk through it this year. Again.
Granted, it's early, but still. Definitely not lighting things on fire this year.
thelinuxcast, @luis_in_brief I'll start listening to more now that the Dubs are out and I don't have to boo at the Lakers.
luis_in_brief, @thelinuxcast it’s been delightful as background noise as our little guy has grown (now 8; we go to a couple games a year and probably listen to 80ish games.)
sgt1372, #BreakingNews !!!!!
Snell just got pulled as the starter today and was put on IR !!!!! 💩
Walker is going to start in his place. So, it's going to be a bullpen game. Manaea, who use to pitch for the Giants, is starting for the #Mets. The game starts in just a couple of hours.

luis_in_brief, @sgt1372 ooooof.
sgt1372, Nice to see Winn finally getting some (not a lot but just enough) run support to get his 1st "win" of the season by throwing 6 1-run innings, that run was a HR but it was an excellent outing.
Soler still isn't hitting long balls but he did get 2 hits and a walk and scored a run ahead of an Estrada double. He was also reached 3rd on a Chapman double that scored Lee.
The 3rd run was scored w/2 on and no out after Ahmed hit into a DP but those are all the runs that the Giants need to win after Doval (who was more focused) came in to get the save --- 3 up/down w/one K.
The Giants win the series 2-1 and FWIW, according to the announcers, this was the 1st series win for the Giants in Miami since 2016! 🤷♂️
Now let's see how the Giants do vs the $Dbacks starting today.
somedude,
stevenray, @somedude well, he has the reputation of being inconsistent. Plus this was start 2 after virtually no spring training.
clair, It’s been a shit week. Thanks to this person on the interwebs for making me laugh. #GratefulDead #SFGiants
sgt1372,
Cdespinosa, THIS ONE IS OVER #SFGOpeningDay #sfgiants
Cdespinosa, @gruber And Chapman was on first from an HBP as well.
dxzdb, (edited ) @gruber @Cdespinosa That looked close enough for me to want to find the moment of proof.
Cdespinosa, Michael Conforto hits a grand slam in the 8th to make it a laugher #sfgiants
Cdespinosa, @dgoldsmith and apparently hold a grudge
dgoldsmith, @Cdespinosa Indeed.

A mile off the plate? … sounds like they need Harry Dole from the movie Major League to make the announcements. 😂

Love the Panda.
stevenray,
storiedSF, Anyone here have experience organizing fan boycotts?
luis_in_brief, @storiedSF surely some bored As fans can be found to help out
upright, Oh great — guess I will listen to games on the radio, #sfgiants.
Dumb.
joelvanderwerf, No home run balls to scoop up today, only fish.
markfields, :sfgiantshat: Boras said it’s about the ownership, organization, and winning not about the city, because all cities have crime and bad neighborhoods. This makes a lot more sense to me. #SFGiants

peterbutler, @markfields I thought all the Giants lived in Burlingame or Atherton
San Francisco is still a big draw for those who can afford it. You think they’d prefer St. Louis (a city with surely as much crime as SF)?
sf_cablecar, Even though the #SFGiants won't be playing in the postseason, I still enjoy seeing them beat the Trolley Dodgers.
stevenray, @sf_cablecar nice reference to the Dodgers original name!
Though always, #beatLA
markfields,
markfields, :sfgiantshat: Cosgrove just missed 3 pitches by a mile. Why swing at the 4th pitch? He should have kept working him until he threw ball 4 #sfgiants
byondr, Black and orange going to go as well as orange and black? #SFGiants
eRatt, Anyone know how to put faces back on? The #SFGiants have made me claw mine off.....
wx1g, @eRatt We would SOOOOOOOOOO not want that!!!!!!!!
eRatt, @wx1g can you imagine? It would be like a horror movie..I don't have time to be in a horror movie right now...maybe after the new year, but not now...haha
byondr, At least for today, Kyle Harrison is the long awaited palate cleanser for Ross Stripling. #SFGiants
markfields, :sfgiantshat: Shall I turn it off now. Feeling sick. #sfgiants
byondr, Joc gets nasty. Love it. #SFGiants
