Hey, I said they would get swept first round They made it competitive with a team that had no damn right winning that many games Now, the real shit begins. This team needs a scary bat

This team needs a scary bat The real shits over. This season is going to be such an outlier looking back in a few years. I’m not gonna go back to saying they’re a 100-loss team (that take aged well) but they’ll be much closer to .500 The only starter they have under contract is Webb. The old guys another year older and still around. Is Kris Bryant going to be the big hat on a big contract? Because he’s good … but not a scary presence. The top prospects are legit but still a few years off, except Joey Bart who’s stuck behind Posey. Zero starting pitching anywhere close to MLB level. Farhan will do something. He’ll find a Diamond in the rough. But nothings gonna come close to this season.

I think they wing it but they also try to not break the formula If anything they are Oakland in San Fran except they will spend money. Just got to find the people to spend it on If they can pry Scherzer away from Dodgers that would be a plus and a "win now move" but there is legit questions on if Posey, Crawford, Belt can do this again They damn sure not winning 100 games again but I don't see them losing either. Probably an 81-81 team with upside

Probably an 81-81 team with upside Posey and Crawford no chance, I think Belt can but he might be going elsewhere (almost assuredly if they cash dump on KB) and even then it’s always a matter of health. Always gets the stupidest injuries. I’m just looking forward to Marco Luciano now. Wake me in 2 seasons.

Flores definitely didn’t go. But there still would’ve been a long way to go. He would’ve been down 1-2 against a guy that he’s 0/17 against. And you still probably need two hits to score KB from first. Still, it’s a terrible call and a brutal way to end a great team’s season.

KB’s AB earlier where Eddings gave Balls 5 & 6 to Urias before he got the K? That was bullshit and the game ended right there. Should have been first and second with no outs. With the Giants bats this series, probably a double play. But still to take that away is horseshit.

My team won and I did not like that call. It’s not the first thing Giants fans should point at but it’s not the last either, is my take.

I missed most of the game. I can’t believe you guys didn’t join me in watching the epic clash between Memphis and Navy. It could very well determine who finishes 6th in the American Athletic Conference.

This is where the eyes should be. Fxxx off, Eddings.
Anyone defend this shit, or even tell me not to whine about it. First and second no outs very likely changes this whole fxxxing thing.

Nah, it's fair to be upset about that. They are both balls. Only slight pushback I'd give is the first one is a pretty standard frame job imo, Posey does it routinely so if he can Smith can too. Still a ball tho. The second one is egregious, it's below KB's knees.

It could very well determine who finishes 6th in the American Athletic Conference. That clash does indeed sound interesting. After all, Tennessee is a landlocked state. How could naval ships even target it?

It takes a lot for me to look at a sporting event with a side eye and be suspicious about whether its officiating was on the up-and-up, but last night's game was about as close as I'll ever get to equating a baseball game to Game 6 of the 2002 NBA Western Conference Finals. Baseball just had its "Dez Caught It" moment. There's at least an argument to be made about whether Dez Bryant caught the ball. I've made it. I still think it was incomplete (just don't extend the ball to the ground and you've got 1st and goal inside the 5!) But there's NO debate to the way last night's game ended. It wasn't a judgment call that went the wrong way -- it was a bad call plain and simple.

The MLB should be embarrassed and shamed for how that amazing series and game ended

It's kinda like a blatant holding call on a 70-yard Hail Mary. Was it the wrong call? Yeah. Does it matter? Not really. Flores hit .073 in the series and already came up very empty in a big situation earlier in the game. He is a big hole in that line-up and I'd bet the house against him extending the game there. Still should have had the chance tho.
