Posey came out of the game after being hit in the mask in the second inning. the Giants already have two HUGE bats out of the lineup, really can't afford any more injuries.

Glad the Giants are not really in the Hamels chase anymore.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 22:01 (eight years ago) link
they almost got him.
The Giants aimed high in their efforts to trade for an ace. Evans confirmed that talks for Cole Hamels got serious enough that the left-hander rescinded his no-trade clause to go to San Francisco before the Texas Rangers made the winning offer. The Giants then engaged the Detroit Tigers about David Price before coming up short.

got Mike Leake. they have seven starters and yes needed another one.
thanks Tim Hudson.

so it really was that close: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/report-cole-hamels-accepted-offer-from-giants-but-was-too-late-080715
However, behind closed doors, the Giants nearly landed Hamels, but the timing wasn't right.
According to a report from CBS Sports, Hamels accepted an offer from San Francisco contingent upon the team exercising his option for 2019, but the Phillies told the Giants that Hamels' acceptance came too late.
While the final proposed deal remains unknown, the Giants would have reportedly parted ways with catcher Andrew Susac and pitching prospect Tyler Beede in exchange for the 31-year-old ace.

matt Cain cannot get out of the fourth inning in any of his starts, may need to shut him down and hope for the best next year/
― Bee OK, Sunday, 9 August 2015 00:57 (eight years ago) link
thank god Mattingly is a terrible coach. considering how bad we've been in the past week, can't believe we are just 2.5 games back.
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 15:16 (eight years ago) link
So yeah our schedule for the next few weeks: Nats, Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs and then Cardinals again.
Yikes.

Henry Schulman is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
I posited some time ago that Duffy has little chance to win National League Rookie of the Year because he not only had to outplay the Dodgers’ Joc Pederson and the Cubs’ Kris Bryant, he had to outperform their outsized expectations going into the season.Done.Duffy should be smack dab in the middle of the conversation. Heck, he should and will get Most Valuable Player votes.I’m going to remain a little stubborn and say Bryant is still the Rookie of the Year favorite, especially if the Cubs reach the postseason. (Pederson has turned into a one-dimensional hitter who remains a homer threat every time he bats, but a strikeout machine with an average below .220).However, Duffy is leading NL rookies in several key offensive stats that could resonate with a younger, increasingly diverse writer voting bloc.Start with OPS+, a way of measuring a hitter’s on-base and slugging averages adjusted to his ballpark. One hundred is league average. Duffy is at 130, Bryant at 125, Pederson and 122 and the Pirates’ Jung Ho Kang at 121.Duffy leads them all in hitting at .310 , which is seventh in the league. Bryant is at .257, Kang .288. Duffy even has crept within six home runs of Bryant’s 16. Pederson has 22.If you want old school vs. new school in the same paragraph, Duffy is trailing Bryant in RBIs by seven, but leads him in WAR, 4.1 to 3.7. Kang is at 3.5, Pederson at 2.3.Duffy has fewer at-bats, thanks to his spot on the bench early in the year, but he should have more than enough by season’s end to dissuade voters from using the difference against him.
