As long as Bumgarner starts in the Wild Card Game. The San Francisco Giants in 2017.

Buster Posey you beautiful georgian.

i'm backed out because i live the Los Angeles market and Dodgers TV...

i see that they won, with Matt Cain again?

yeah! he's been good, I'm telling you. However, now he might be injured.

what, really? of course it's 2017.

Now, let's talk cell-phone flashlights and the so-called "rally lights" at AT&T Park. Our Sam Whiting wrote about it here. It's cute. It's fun. And it's drawn the attention of the league, which has let the Giants know it's not completely kosher.

A major-league source told me that the umpires have been in contact with the league, which has contacted stadium officials to express its concern that an infielder could get hurt by losing a ball in those flashlights. These are not Hollywood Kleig lights by any means, but if you're standing at third base and a line drive comes at your head, it might be hard to distinguish the ball from those lights.

Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner complained about one light that was shining in his eyes Monday night. The umpires stopped the game briefly and had the customer flip off his light.

Now, this is not the No Fun League. Baseball has not told the Giants that fans cannot do the rally lights. But it wants the team to work with ushers in the sections between the bases behind the plate to get those lights turned off for safety reasons.

The last thing the league wants is to stop a game because of this. For one thing, officials understand that fans being fans, that'll only make them keep the lights on longer, at the expense of their cellphone batteries.

But, the umpires have the right to stop the game and take the drastic measure of ending it. If they do, Giants lose 9-0 by forfeit.

So, if an usher tells you to turn of your cellphone flash, it might be a good idea.

welcome back Michael Morse.

not very excited about this but he is a good dude and makes the clubhouse fun.

Morse is a big apeman beast

i don't understand why the giants and angel pagan are shunning each other

if pagan can't get a deal now, he's not gonna get one at 36. and morse is like the giants' 10th outfielder already this season, and not much of one

i can't fucking watch but i just read. Michael Morse just hit a home run to tie the game.

@BNightengale
The #SFGiants make the severity of Bumgarner's injury official, announcing that he will be out a minimum of 3 months, perhaps until August.

No respect for the game.

of course

Jeff Samardzija first hit is a game tieing home run. 2-2

So I guess the Giants are as bad as they were in the second half of 2016, and unless they find a way to dramatically turn it around in May, it looks like they are going to be sellers. Cueto can opt out this summer, I guess this makes him a good trade target? I think the small core is there (the homegrown infield, Ty Blach, Moore, Bumgarner), everything else is a mess. Nunez and Span are combining for -0,6, that's two third of the infield for the next couple of months.

MadBum would shoot more threes.

Giants hammered Kershaw last night.

today the spot Matt Moore four runs, he then gives up six runs. just as a reminder that it's 2017.

they

so apparently they are playing this game on a local channel called KTLA tonight. not even sure i want to watch this horror.

1 - 1

Giants vs Dodgers

more like it

expect the Giants aren't that good this year, really depressing

relax plz Bee

I would like to be a Giants fan but this thread is so radioactive.

Won a series! In LA!

i saw that last Dodger rally at 2a.m. ET, was hoping BOK wasn't watching

i will quit. sorry everyone, baseball is a daily thing and i need to express myself everyday about it. i know ILB is not a place for that and i was using Bags board to post but Mercury News has shut it down so i came back here this year. The Giants are having a horrible start to 2017, so i have been especially bittier about it. again sorry, not my intent.

this is not looking good. double digits leads by the reds, two nights in a row.

Bleh. I believed we could get this one.

I've had enough of Nunez. I don't understand how we went in this season without a proper left field plan.

last night was brutal. finally get some extra base action from pence/posey and then....

Posey walk off. 17 innings and the bullpen kept it together.

Buster hitting like he is Mike Trout these days.

ILB is so boring without me

i will try to behave

the Giants are on a roll and not upset with this club as i used to be.

took two out of three against the Cards and in the middle of a four game series at the Cubs

tie game, just happened

man i really don't like the Cubs. i do think it was great that they won after over 100 years ect but this team is not likable

baseball is such a strange sport, there really is nothing better. i think what does it for me is the day to day aspect of it. life is day to day and so when a game happens almost everyday it is a rhythm that can't be matched...plus you get mad or happy but a new day is always different.

(just to be clear, i was being sarcastic in that first post) i have been taking a break, so i really don't know.

Love Affeldt in the booth, but he could lay off the umps a bit.

you would think playing the Brave you could win some games but being 9 games under .500 is like fools gold.

what do fans think of this Christian Arroyo thing?

i think they should send him down to AAA to get some seasoning, as they say, and come back a more polished rookie.

Christian Arroyo: .191 Ave .242 OPS .304 SLG 14 RBI

as he flies out to Right, now those numbers are a bit lower
