Game Thread San Francisco Giants vs New York Yankees Saturday April 1st 2023 4:05PM

F'n HP Ump rings up DJL on a pitch that was 1/2 foot outside.

 

Bad throw by Cobb gives the Yanx a 1-0 lead.

...Ducks on the pond and Donaldson and Torres both stand there with the bat on their shoulders and watch a called strike 3 go by.

 

Volpe gets his first MLB hit...then steals 2B without a throw.

Can't ever remember eagerly waiting for a #9 hitter to come to bat.

 

Stanton with a oppo field seats laser...2-0, good guys.

 

So we have a pitch clock to speed up the games, we have quicker replay to speed up the games, and we have home plate umpires fucking up games with their strike zones to speed up the games. MLB isn’t unwatchable because of the length of the games, is unwatchable because of these umps. For the love of god, bring in robo umps!!!

 

Donaldson and Torres both once again fail miserably with runners on 2nd and 3rd.

Boone once again proving what we already know...he can't manage the bull pen for shit.

 

^^^ "Great minds..."

 

Yeah, he'll struggle maybe at first...but that line drive had a ton of topspin on it and dove down at the last minute...and he's making decent contact at the plate and not at all over-matched...I hope to be watching this kid for the next 15 years.

 

Donaldson makes it 5-4, bad guys...storm on the way.

 

Same shit, different year...Boone can't manage, poor situational hitting, and a BP with Tourettes.

 

Pinch hitting Hicks?...seriously?

 

SF stalling with the tying run at the plate.
