Scherzer is absolutely fucking amazing. Mad Max making history in front of our eyes..privileged to watch it...
Everyone one in MLB are trying gift the NL West to the Giants. Hopefully the Chicago Rats have some sense of self worth after getting violated yesterday.
said it a few days ago saying it again scherzer, and not buehler, should get the ball in an elimination game
They've been more anemic offensively than the Dodgers of late. Conversely the Giants having been hitting the shit out of it since beating up o Buehler last Sunday. They were in their worst hitting stretch of the season before that.
that's what makes it all the more frustrating the gnats had definitely hit a wall and were ripe exactly when a champion takes them out but no
Losing the Buehler vs. the Giant bullpen game was a gut punch, but there have been several vs. SF this year (the check swing and Tauchman catch come to mind). Hard to be terribly disappointed when they have the second best record in the game with the inordinate amount of injuries they've had. That said, the one game playoff thing is scary proposition regardless of the opposition.
The check swing call was indeed an umpire fuckup, but in a season jammed to overflowing with incompetence in umpiring, is it really suspicious ? I think it's simply going along with the festering flow of umpiring not even remotely up to the level it should be. I hate the fucking Giants as much as anyone, but to say ( or believe...even worse) that other teams are laying down on purpose so they win again, is ridiculous. Why shouldn't they hate the Giants even more than the Dodgers? I would, if I were a NL player...the Giants dominated the World series in the past decade, not the Dodgers. You could look it up. They lose to them because the Giants are better than they are that day, or that series...just like the Padres lost three to us...and with plenty at stake for them. But we were better...sooooo... It's just like they're ( SF) all supposed to be roiding...then why aren't they detected then ? The MLB urinalysis testing group are hiding it because they hate LA, too? We can still beat them, whether we win the NLW or not. In fact, if we win by being the WC, it's another coup feather in our war bonnet. Maybe not easier- but better.
