>Javy ALREADY hitting homers

this so hard...

faggots

I got ahead of myself, my bad dawg.

maybe they can teach that moron to learn his baserunning signs

but they should have dfa'd descalso and 3rd catcher, kept russell and brought up another pen arm (rosario?) after burning it in yesterdays loss

Descalso's only still around because of either he's a 'veteran presence or they're to stubborn to burn that money.

I kinda just want to see Happ up again, his last month has been great and although it won't translate directly into the majors he should do better than last year at least. Also Russell is a better ss than baez

>Contreras bat flipping on a single
Golden.

>Also Russell is a better ss than baez

he makes so little, its not much salary to burn
not sure why they keep him - could be veteran presence
but he's proven himself to be garbage on the field
russell would be more valuable than him as a defensive sub and as a ph if nothing else
swapping russell for happ would be an acceptable experiment, both of them have shown potential, but neither has been able to maintain it

but he is

>fucks up signs constantly
fer sure b

unless you're talking about fucking up pickoff signs why would that matter for being a better ss?

Ironically, this makes Brach shititng the bed last night kinda of a good thing because imagine what would happen to the pen and rotation if Chatwood came into the game last night and pitched several innings where he couldn't be used today.

They'd probably have to call up whoever was going to pitch for the Iowa Cubs next and we might have had a Mike Mayers redux.

I wonder what his babip was these 4 years

someone crunched the numbers and his numbers have been shit since he hit that girl

well I thought that would be a typical self destruct inning from chatwood

LOL GNATS

Chadgood getting a strikeout and outta that jam.

2019 Chatwood has been much sturdier

yeah he has, I need more convincing though but he hasn't been around much

that's gay

>Baez getting umpballed

"Uhhhh i'm to much of pussy to pick a ball up" please hold my hand

If you did that at Wrigley it wouldn't be a ground rule.

Look what you've done.

Enjoy having your country fall apart and collapse due to Boris Johnson

>pakipaddle

this is a rounders thread, guv

It all started with a 2 out base hit up the middle..

..and ended with a 3-pitch K of a greaseball franchise player

>They forgot to add the bullpens when they designed the stadium
>That's actually not true
>Of course you're going to deny it
I love Len and JD's banter.

>Chatwood spun out, but didn't crash
The question is how long can he go if he doesn't completely implode during an inning.

>When the pitcher knocks your starter out of the game.
Pathetic.

I got a feeling we're going to see Schwarbomb.

almora babip per year
.315, .338, .337

this year its .257

Giving that Texass girl brain damage gave him PTSD.

Almora just hit a new born baby on that home run ball, brain damage is feared

Attached: shitposting.gif (445x250, 1.41M)

probably, but he was having a shit year before that happened

>98 fastball

Attached: 1361135166365.png (500x333, 198K)

The worst thing was the Astro pitcher taking advantage of Almora being in consolable and throwing him a change up which he just swung at anyway because he didn't care.

This. Fucking Russell is gone and they still didn't call Happ up. Fuck this team

That's because Happ is still shit.

Now enjoy hearing Rizzo go
>FUCKING SHIT!

Attached: Swan lake.png (723x408, 516K)

umps are a bunch of faggots holy shit

In the month of July, Happ has a slash line of .303/.439/.606, which equates to a 1.045 OPS

Now this is umpball

umpball out in full force today
also why tf is Bryant out of the game???

*In AAA

Your point? If guys put those numbers up it's usually indicative of a promotion

No clue, maybe tweeked something?

Why do they still suck?

Watch those number nose dive in the majors and we'll right back where we started except with more loses.

why is the water green? is that how polluted san francisco is?

Because your photoshop sucks and you touch yourself at night. And during the day.

He would instantly be an improvement over almora, offensively

>implying

yeah that is what I'm doing

That's the sand being kicked up and making the water murky because of wave action you dumbass.

And it's wrong.

he'll make a great September call-up before not making the postseason roster

seems common in urban coves/inlets from what I've seen

no i'm right. now say your sorry

>Sorry
Of course you are

say it

Say: Happ is great trade bait.

>The Swan is taking on water
RIP

contreras is great trade bait

Based. Giants sweeping today.

heads-up 7up baserunning!

Bryant really is. He's not resigning with this team and they could get a great haul for him next year.

That god tier base running by Heyward and Garcia.

Almora you bum!

He didn't even argue it or say anything to the Ump.

happ OWNS almora

Time for Schwarbomb grand slam

cussing after a call is an auto-ejection with a lot of umps

Says who?
Give me proof because there would be a lot more ejections if that was true.

well you can either learn it or deny it, it's just true. i didn't say it was a rule.

So you have no proof, okay.

the proof is that the next time it happens you'll remember my post and watch the batter

>RISP

Attached: file065243.jpg (1280x720, 124K)

Maybe look back at all the other time a batter went 'fuck' and didn't get ejected.

>who is jason heyward

>Jason Heyward
>Being ejected
We're back in that alternate universe where Desclaso got a base hit last night I see.

I was using him as an example of someone who didnt though.

all JHey does is scream profanities
thats not enough to push an ump to eject a guy

I feel like Rizzo said a lot more than curse words, something that bruised the ump's ego

umps are way too faggy

Green texting means you're saying something contrary

oops, I just (you)d the wrong user

Good.
Let's see if he can have a clean inning this time

>Schwarber with a diving play to save Strope
Nice, a clean inning.

Now who pitches the 8th.
Cishek? Kintzler?

Leave Strop in; he only ha 10 pitches.

>Call back to the vulture.
Anyone else love these continuing plotlines by Lenn?
We also have the 3 run homer vs quality start.

>Clean inning by Kintzler
He's in the circle of trust

you'll jinx it

his era is now 2.11
he should have been the 8th inning guy by default

>Kimbrel
Where's Ishikawa to take the walk when we need him?

Kimbrel shuts the door!

Break the brooms, the bullpen saves the day.
Why can't we have a clean save with no drama?
