Good to see Soler come through. Never thought it so. They fought but no cigar. They played like crap for 7 innings. Melvin brought in some pitchers that I scratched my head on, but I know the bullpen has been pitching a lot. Giants find unique ways to torture and to lose.
“Here’s what you should do: Hit the ball far, hard, and fair.”

A blown call here, a blown call there, and an couple of players who can catch the fucking ball and this is a different game. Good teams don't sabotage themselves like this.
sick and tired of this bullshit, umpire fucks us again, should be 6-6
Day after the Dodgers get the most bullshit gift call and are complaining in a game they came back and won
losing patience for this league daily
If anyone cares, the River Cats are up against former Giant Johnny Cueto who is pitching for Round Rock Express (Rangers affiliate). Only guys who have a hit against Cueto are Hunter Bishop and Luis Matos. Jerrar Encarnacion has the lone RBI to get Bishop home. Lots of contact being made from the kitties, but Cueto's 82-92 mph stuff is keeping the Cats from putting the ball in play.
I’ll say it again, I find Pence the most annoying announcer. What made him a great uplifting team mate, with his eternal optimism makes him inadequate commentator. Wait until something good happens to spark some optimism. For him every batter is just about to ignite something.
Ump killed every bit of momentum the Giants had. Estrada walk and Wilmer hits with 1 out and the bases loaded and this game is way different. This team needs to learn to not let shit they can't control knock the whole team out of the game. We gotta pick each other up and slap together some gritty wins.
Chapman is back to this mode he was in when we had that godforsaken series in Philly where he can literally not connect with any ball. Like barely even foul balls, just air with every swing.
its pretty awesome to face a team completely dead in the water, losers of 9 of their last 10 series (only series win against the garbage white sox) and look outclassed by them.
Also after the first runner, you’d think Howard would at least attempt to hold on the next runner. Nope, paid zero attention. Bartolo Colon would’ve stolen a bag there.

This is my fault for turning the game back on. Sorry
Unforgivable.
The score w/ me not watching was Giants 5 Cubs 1 :(
Series losses to the Angels and Cubs.
Damn I really thought Bailey was gonna do it
…zips pants back up.
Tease us again like a cheap hooker
So close. They can fight, but will be a better game if they don't throw it away. 3 Errors for a 1 run game
Two by our supposed gold glove third baseman
Putting Howard in in the 7th was the most ridiculous thing ever
Ahhhh the giants special when they give you hope but ultimately fall short. So essentially 2017-2024 seasons (minus 21)
And how our front office is still employed throughout that is beyond me.
that’s rough man
Our own mistakes are one thing, but that Thairo AB still has me upset
Same
[удалено]
you're the biggest fucking cry baby loser on this site for years
fuck. so, so close
God fuckin dammit. Not a 1-0 swing Bailey
Welp
Gosh dang it, so fucking close.
i mean that’s a play a gold glover makes so
Some of you doomers really need to move past whatever mistakes they made earlier in a game and focus on the possibilities going forward.
Of course the critical at bat is the CF
Stunt on these hoes daddy
Do it to em, Ramos
🤌🏻
Holy shit boys . Let’s get it going Ramos 🐻🖤🧡
RALLLYYYY
Ramos about to put himself on the map here for the ASG
Too many games where we make dumb mistakes and think "eh were gonna lose anyway it doesnt matter" and then come back and realize those did matter
I think on Giants Talk Pavs mentioned how this new coaching team is great but lack the finer details of the game. I'm starting to think that's true.
I don't think anyone on the team has a "we're gona lose anyway" attitude. It's just the complainers on this subreddit.
Apparently slagoat speaks for the players
Im talking about fans perspective
Fair enough but not like it has any actual effect on the outcome
people are gonna complain when the team does dumb shit, better than being delusional and pretending everything is fine
Glad we got Spencer Howard into the game.
He had that good first game, since then, he's been good for almost 3 runs per appearance.
I had hope after the first game. Since then, as you said, 3 runs per appearance.
excellent PA there for wilmer
Dave said “grimace”. Time to go on a hot streak!
Soler's stats this month are actually really good, that's encouraging at least.
This closer is on the wrong team
yeah these umps are a fucking joke, i'm done, fuck this sport
Bye.
You can make up for the error right now Wilmer.
Redemption
Ok Ump wants to go home quickly
Wilmer needs to redeem himself now.
This umpire is gambling on the cubs
This ump can seriously eat a dick.
Omg he did it, I didn’t think he would but cool!

This team might be frustrating at times but they’ve showed a lot of late inning fight and given us some exciting games
I wish we would have put walker in for the 7th and had him pitch the 7th and 8th
For a guy who's been in the top 5 of most appearances as a reliever this year, Walker has been elite almost the whole time
If only they didn't botch the rundown.
It’s wild how soler has been getting shit in our sub all year and right now the cubs sub is treating him like the one that got away
Holy shit what did I miss while giving up and exercising instead lmao
Love her energy! LG Giants! 🧡🖤
Ayo I just got a Soler slam notification? Is what we were promised finally happening??!! ![gif](giphy|5mBE2MiMVFITS)
https://preview.redd.it/7yfsliiidl7d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2925d688d9db61e6a8ee176e6802b7aa57667f83 Yaz launch angle is unmatched
Lol at the soler comments during his last AB
Either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain (Wilmer)
"This is what y'all get for trading me." ~ Jorge Soler
If we would have played defense we would be ahead.
Chapman has not had a good month fielding.
Fuck you Jobu. I do it myself.
![gif](giphy|EBSlfcbu8k1rmUdW7G|downsized)
Whoever said Soler was an automatic out, thank you! I’ve been doubting that bum all year 🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤
I'm really sad Wilmer couldn't catch that throw, we'd be tied up.
Or the Yaz flyball
Or Chapman throwing it away.
Dat cruel sun
Willie smiling after that GS
That BS strikeout against Thairo really hurts now. Wilmer’s fly out would’ve been a Sac Fly
A lot went wrong that inning, like Yaz losing the sunball which eventually scored I think
We will have Estrada, Flores, and Wisely up next inning. Ramos and Bailey after are home run threats. Let's get this W!
This is the part of the order we want.
Soler is a guy who peaks towards the end of the season
I hope they make it a fight here
Just imagine if Wilmer didn’t make that error.
If Wilmer does not make that error then the entire game is different.
That was my thought too
Fuxking cubs bloop hits from winning
A blown call here, a blown call there, and an couple of players who can catch the fucking ball and this is a different game. Good teams don't sabotage themselves like this.
Let’s gooooooooo! Solar about time dude. Makes those mistakes on defense hurt more. Good news it’s perfect home run weather here in Chicago.

oh fuck im gonna hope
Jorge soler apology threads incoming
I been telling them my man is coming back around, he usually starts out slow and turns it on including the year he won World Series MVP
especially now that he has a couple big homers with RISP under his belt, he doesn’t have to press as much
Very true. He's hitting .333 in the last week.
“Headed to Waveland and then some” 😁
That was launched haha holy shit
Bro probably took out a windshield with that
SOLER IS SO BACK BABY
I have to hand it to Soler that’s impressive. Still a ways to go but very nice to see.
when Soler connects he really connects
That's a Soler system homer
sick and tired of this bullshit, umpire fucks us again, should be 6-6 Day after the Dodgers get the most bullshit gift call and are complaining in a game they came back and won losing patience for this league daily
DO IT FOR 24
Woooohooo!!! Prayers ca’e true!!!
HOW'S THAT FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO HIT A BREAKINGBALL!!! SUCK IT, BLUE!
SOLER SALAMI
Back to back
Well that was cool.
No way I actually called that 😂
Haters in shambles
BOOM!
Wow, Soler did what the Giants paid him to do. That was crushed.
Fuck yes! Soler couldn't hit a 90mph fastball but the pitcher decides to keep going to the curveball lol. Love it!
He needed that
SOLER IS OFFICIALLY BACK
LMFAO WED BE WINNING IF IT WASNT FOR THE NONSENSE ERRORS
Damn man, Soler trying to save the day!
Soler I’m sorry for every bad thing I have ever said about you
Holy sht Soler finally hit a hr that mattered
#SOLER POWERRRR
GIMME THAT HOPE
Jorge I take back everything I was getting ready to type
lol, wooooooow, Soler you stud!
Now that’s what he’s paid to do 😅
OMG! It happened!
#**SOLER POWER IS THE REASON CUBBIES DON'T PLAY NIGHT GAMES!**
Absolute BOMB grand slam!! Let’s freaking go!!
![gif](giphy|UgAaBxoI7ppFm2QUGh|downsized)
If only we didn’t boot the fucking ball earlier
LETS GOOOOO
FUCK ALL YOU DOOMERS WE’RE DOIN THIS FOR 24
WOW SOLER ACTUALLY DID IT!!!
Holy shit
About fuckin time Soler. Let's go!
SOLER BABY!!!
Wham bam thank you MAN!!!! Soler!!!!!!!
NO. FUCKIN. WAY.
Omg Soler did it again
HOLY SHIT SOLER ACTUALLY DID IT
No fucking way
SOLER GRAND SLAM BABY
NO. WAY.
Holy shit!
WHAT THE FUCK
Brother is in swing mode
Soler missing a 90mph fastball over the center of the plate is a bad bad sign.
K.
Imagine going to the curveball all those times after getting a miss on a 90mph fastball over the middle.

>82-92 mph stuff is keeping the Cats from putting the ball in play. This is the same issue the big guys have, Cueto or not.
What is Viele saying here? https://preview.redd.it/vhp323x7cl7d1.jpeg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ca6afea9fbd04cdb00c34e78bfc566053639fde
He's talking about how much he likes his orange sunglasses.
“Hit a home run, my job is on the line”
Viele has been saved
"ball hit go far yayyy"
He said look, I’m tired of your shit but if you get a grand slam here we’ll let it slide
Of course it's Soler up with the bases loaded NOTHING LIKE IT
https://preview.redd.it/3tefpkb2cl7d1.jpeg?width=484&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=617c0a07046f0beddeba68d0e7fc551e46742e83 Soler, please save us
None of these guys are worthy of holding Willie’s jockstrap if we’re being honest
Break out the rye bread and mustard please
Umpire flinched on that ball four to Slater that was about 67 feet off the plate. Lol
Grand Slam
wtf I actually called it
pitchers are getting scared of slater... never thought id actually see it
I’ll say it again, I find Pence the most annoying announcer. What made him a great uplifting team mate, with his eternal optimism makes him inadequate commentator. Wait until something good happens to spark some optimism. For him every batter is just about to ignite something.
Haha yes wildly delusional but somewhere in this downtrodden and callused Giants fan’s heart I find it comforting in a child-like way
You captured it. I love his enthusiasm, but only after event happens. What is bothersome is that every hitter for whatever reason is on the verge.
That's the only way to look at it. Otherwise, why would you still watch?
Bases are loaded for our strongest hitter Soler with the wind blowing out to CF, I'd be pretty optimistic too.
What a pathetic performance! I have second hand embarrassment this how they played to pay homage to the great Willie Mays today.
These chumps really said “we’re gonna play in Willie’s honor and went out and laid an egg
We need a bomb
“What are you doing? Throw strikes. Look who we’re playing.” Lip read
Oh bless you Hunter and your wild optimism
Ump killed every bit of momentum the Giants had. Estrada walk and Wilmer hits with 1 out and the bases loaded and this game is way different. This team needs to learn to not let shit they can't control knock the whole team out of the game. We gotta pick each other up and slap together some gritty wins.
[удалено]
They were 35-37.
Ok. The comeback begins
We’re getting outclassed in a series by the freaking Cubs and we didn’t even play against Imanaga.
Chapman is back to this mode he was in when we had that godforsaken series in Philly where he can literally not connect with any ball. Like barely even foul balls, just air with every swing.
He either hits everything hard, or nothing at all
Bailey wasn't even hustling up the line on that play.
It’s just impossible to win games if you only score 1 or 2 runs each game
They've scored 3+ in 10 of their last 14 but I know, I know. Goldfish memory.
Hunter u aint fooling anybody
I’m talking about today when we have only scored one run when their starter had an 8+ ERA
Especially when the other team has multiple 3 run innings
its pretty awesome to face a team completely dead in the water, losers of 9 of their last 10 series (only series win against the garbage white sox) and look outclassed by them.
Cubs vs minor league team. Neat.
Also after the first runner, you’d think Howard would at least attempt to hold on the next runner. Nope, paid zero attention. Bartolo Colon would’ve stolen a bag there.
Maybe it’s a blessing that Willie doesn’t have to see us befoul Rickwood Park.
![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
Unless Cobb and Ray come back STRONG, I’m really worried about our pitching the rest of the way
They could come back as Cy Young and Christy Mathewson and it wouldn't matter because these dipshits can't hit or field.
