Watching Rogers throw those 380 ft fly balls makes me nervous. Please, Gabe, not another inning.

What a win Poor announcers upset but the Giants shut out the Dodgers again

KNBR on dodger stadium. A shell of concrete covered in Pantone.
Nice win for the Giants.

I get MLB. I can synch the sound from KNBR. Not only do I think the pro-Dodger spin is obvious. But of course I’m biased. The other thing is the play by play guy just talks too much.
What a game. Giants offense needs something from Yaz and Wade…..

Longoria clutch homer. Crawford clutch catch. Duggar several wind-blown clutch catches. Wood/Rogers/McGee/Doval shutout the Dodgers for the second time in three games.
That's the Dodgers' first 1-0 loss in over two years. The last one? Sept. 7, 2019. At Dodger Stadium. To the Giants.
Amazing. BTW TBS's production is terrible, and the Dodger ballpark makes Candlestink look like Oracle.
RE: [merged] Giants/Niners 2021 thread - BostonCard - 10-11-2021
You think the Giants have offensive issues? The Dodgers have been shut out twice in three games.

Been there many times. Nice plain ballpark.

Yeah, but that’s a GOOD thing! :)
Trey Lance, sprained knee. Wow.
RE: [merged] Giants/Niners 2021 thread - Phogge - 10-11-2021
Yaz takes too many strike threes. Dickerson horrible.
Harold Reynolds couldn’t believe that they took Pujols out in the fourth after he had the only Dodger hits.
I can’t believe that the TBS announcers let the home ump off so easily. He missed a bunch.

Like the checked swing strikeout on Solano. Ugh. Wouldn’t even check the 1B ump.
Most shutouts, postseason history: Yankees 32, Giants 27, Braves 23.
And Posey has caught 14 of them!
RE: [merged] Giants/Niners 2021 thread - BostonCard - 10-11-2021
At the rate Posey’s going, the Giants can catch the Yankees this year.

Wow ... with all of those great batters up and down both line-ups, the Giants and Dodgers gave us a 1 run gem that the Giants win 1-0. And the lone run was a solo home run from Evan Longoria who came into the game in a 1-32 slump. They still needed some nifty fielding by Crawford and Duggar to hold on plus a helpful gust of wind to keep out #27 inside the ballpark. But, it's a win and the Giants lead the series 2 games to 1.
There's fairy dust sprinkled on the Giants this year that has led to magical moments and I hope there's enough for one more win tomorrow. (And maybe eight more wins after that)

If those guys are 0-whatever, are they really giving you a better chance than some RH hitters? And yes, I'm thinking Slater.
But then again, none of the Giants are really hitting . . . except Old Man Posey.
I'm so glad the Giants' season has been so great. Takes the mind off of (much) less-great sporting experiences . . .
Does it get any better for a reliever than a 6-out save in a 1-0 game? Wow.
[And Lux crushed that ball . . . he just needs to lift a few more weights and then he can be Longo Strong (heh, heh)].

The guy who I hate the most is the little red haired creature who looks like he is right out of a Tolkien book.
RE: [merged] Giants/Niners 2021 thread - Leftcoast - 10-12-2021
Hmmhh ... There's several on their roster who might qualify as a red-haired hobbit. Did you mean THIS guy? Personally, I think he's more likely one of Thorin's 12 distant relations than a hobbit. Or Peter Jackson's forgotten ginger-haired step-child.
Full Glory:

Now Lance has a knee. Get ready for "At quarterback, Nate Sudfield."

Seems fitting that this series is going to 5. Winner gets Atlanta.

A few things are clear (if they were not already):
1. For the Giants to win, they'll need a heroic effort from Webb because there is no one Kapler can trust in the bully, except for Doval (and perhaps Rodgers);
2. Jake McGee (aka "McGasCan") is a liability against good hitting teams . . . like all remaining teams in the playoffs. His fastball is too flat and thus too hittable;
3. The Giants are not hitting/scoring enough. What is that . . . 9 runs in 4 games? That is not good enough. The hitting is a problem for the G-Men;
4. This game felt like a complete blowout, and the score was "only" 7-2. But here's the scary thing: if (i) Longo hits a SF early, (ii) the pitcher doesn't make an error prior to Mookie's dinger, and (iii) Kapler keeps McGasCan out of the game, the score going into the 9th inning could have been 3-4 . . . which is pretty shocking.
The most disturbing thing: the Giants aren't playing well. They're not hitting or pitching well right now.

The team SF is playing is pretty good bunch. I think they have something to do with the hitting/pitching comment you made. You make it sound as though the Giants are playing in a vacuum. Heck, looking at the big picture, the series is where it should be - tied - between two teams that won 107 and 106 games.

I'm with those who think anything from now on is gravy.
