In Zaidi we trust - The Giants

Wilmer Flores had a big game. Fun nail biter of a game

clinched a playoff birth tonight for 2021

incredible year (so far)

bullpen game bit them on the ass tonight

San Diego had to win a game, just wish it came against the Dodgers instead of losing six

1 is better than 2

What a game

haha! what an ending

I screwed that up

2 up on the Dodgers is better than 1

you can't make this stuff up. Giants cruising and put their closer on the IL today. up comes Rogers and gives up three in the bottom of the ninth. Giants tie it in the bottom of the ninth on their last strike. and then...

Dominic Leone has been something this year. has been the opener when the Giants are throwing way too many bullpen games. tonight he closed the game.

what a year

2 out of 3 against an Atlanta team that is fighting for their playoff lives, unfortunately the Dodger did the same. still up and in the end of the week and that is all you can hope for at this time of the season.

LaMonte Wade Jr. has now beat the entire NL West in the 9th inning.

7/22 vs Dodgers (tie-breaking two-run single in 5-3 win)

8/5 vs D'backs (game-tying two-run single in 5-4 win)

9/8 vs Rockies (go-ahead two-run single in 7-4 win)

9/21 vs Padres (go-ahead single in 6-5 win)

nice piece on the Giants: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32249806/the-san-francisco-giants-just-keep-surprising-us

not sure of the last time the Giants actually gained ground on the Dodgers, might be when the Giants beat Walker Buehler.

Kazmir, of all people, gave the Giants four shut out innings to start this game, turns out it was enough

sorry, he actually gave up on earned run

Move over, Barry Bonds.

Padres officially eliminated from post-season play, wow

Magic Number 6

second three game sweep at Coors this month, with a team that doesn't lose at home. 5-1 road trip, will take it

Magic Number = 5

devastating news:

https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/giants/giants-brandon-belt-has-fractured-left-thumb-timetable-unknown

Magic Number = 4

congrats Bee.

the logan webb game

2 run homer to boot

had a great time today

San Francisco Giants 2021 National League West Champions

i know i'm a pain in the ass board, why i stepped away...

... not at all, baseball is nerve-wracking. here's to hoping they can keep the magic alive. it's an odd numbered year but still

I’m ready for some playoffs

i still don't really know who's on this team but i'm really glad they kept pace through the whole season, it would've sucked if the dodgers caught up with them in the last few days

Nominate Bee OK as the official ILX Giants fan rep

Also holy crap... they DID it. If they can somehow win the NLDS I don't see anyone stopping them from a title

damn this sucks

Buster Posey plans to announce his retirement tomorrow. The end of an era for the Giants.

— Alex Pavlovic (@PavlovicNBCS) November 3, 2021

it sure does but makes sense as he was only playing two and then taking a day

i wish the beat writers would have let Posey break the news himself tomorrow as planned

anyways, Spottie we have been talking about it here: rolling retirees: 2018 and beyond

🐐 sighting

Webb was in a groove tonight, funny because I was worried about him after the first two starts this year, lol

Webb is steady af, I was thinking about him specifically because of how efficient his starts are. Andrew Bailey is a miracle worker.

Uhhhh snell placed on 15 day IR

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/giants-blake-snell-injured-list-adductor-strain.html

Saw that. Probably not surprising given he started late and didn’t ramp up enough.

Read something last week that none of the seven biggest MLB contracts belong to Boras' clients whereas 10 years ago, he owned 9 of the top 10.

Last night's game sounds like a classic but I missed as I was at Slowdive.

PATRICK BAILEY CALLED GAME ‼ pic.twitter.com/vB8jOVXkEk

Patrick Bailey made history with the walk-off blast, becoming the first catcher in MLB history to turn a double play, catch a shutout and hit a walk-off home run in the same game, per OptaSTATS.

This was nice, I like it when people are classy:

"There's some really good people here."

xp that's some reaching but I guess with baseball there's such a huge sample size of games it's hard not to be surprised when the first of anything happens.

xp it wasn’t him sneering about him being DFAed. Giants fans were gloating for whatever reason. Good for him.

6 - 4 on this home stand with two series wins and one split. One month in and one game under .500, will take it. No help from Snell but still doing okay.
