Time for the boys to shock the baseball world again. No one gave us a chance last season, and look at what we accomplished!!!

Let's do this!!!

Resident pessimist over here is staring third place right in the eye. Lmao

Your conclusion is the most likely outcome. I'm just not going to count this team out until they have officially played themselves out. I've doubted my Giants way too much in the past, only to be surprised by their performance.

Kind of like the Kings, where I've gone into the season expecting to see them at least contend for the 8th seed, only to be left feeling disappointed. Now, I just don't give a hoot. I'm not expecting ANYTHING from the Kings until they prove me otherwise.

Both are completely the opposite, but the general concept remains the same.

The thing about that is, 3rd place in the West might still be wild card.

Thanks for reminding us about the expanded postseason field, which I, personally, am not a huge fan of...Why try to fix something that ain't broken to begin with?

 

[SLAB]

Belt is too much lmao

Nothing better than Kruk and Kuip and Webb ground balls to kick off the year.

 

[The_Jamal]

GROUND ATTACK IS BACK

Man, the Dodgers just pee me off. That line up is just ridiculous and their pitching is ridiculous. And that’s without Bauer. SMH. I just don’t see how that team doesn’t win 105+ games.

 

[The_Jamal]

Hell of an opening day for Joey B. Holy power.

As long as they stop at 105 games in 2022, I won't be complaining.

Maybe I’ve been predicting the demise of Joey Bart as a prospect far too early. Maybe it’s good I’m not GM because I would have 100% traded him last season. Lol

It’s so nice to hear Kuiper sounding so good in the booth. Poor guy’s had such a rough year.

Buster 2.0, perhaps?

 

[The_Jamal]

Leone meatball.....

Stallings is just ripping us. HR, threw out 2 runners.

 

[SLAB]

Buster 2.0, perhaps?

Man, that would just be incredible!

More power, less leadership/defense/handling of staff. Hopefully evens out to still a darn good player.

 

[The_Jamal]

The Captain! Gives Doval a little breathing room.

 

[SLAB]

CAPTAIN!

 

[SLAB]

The ump had to have closed his eyes and guessed there. Lol

 

[The_Jamal]

What a ridiculous infield hit lol

 

[SLAB]

Oooof, the defense hasn’t been stellar today.

 

[The_Jamal]

Woof, how did that get out?

Errors man.

 

[SLAB]

Of course.

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Are we going back to the days when our starting pitching did all that they could do to keep the team in the game, but the bullpen came in and did all that they could do to not win the game???

Yikes!!!

 

[The_Jamal]

Hard to really put everything on Doval there. Really dumb infield hit, avoidable error from Estrada that should have been an easy DP.

Hanger on the slider, but I think Chisholm got help from the park on that one. Didn't look like he hit it all that clean

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

OK, Walk-off BIG FLY time.

 

[The_Jamal]

THAIRO TOTALLY REDEEMED HIMSELF

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

OK, Walk-off BIG FLY BART TIME!!!!

 

[SLAB]

Nope, I totally didn’t have a “It aint 2021 anymore” post queued up for after this inning.

 

[SLAB]

Ugh… and we’re going to go to garbage extras. I’d almost rather just lose the game outright than deal with this BS.
