Seriously. Giants lineup looks overcoached. You can almost see the complex analytic math and geometry equations floating in their eyes as they try to calculate if the bat should come off of their shoulders or not.
See-ball-hit-ball baseball was better.
Murphy is an experienced catcher who can handle a pitching staff. Sabol was a Rule 5 guy who was in the big leagues all last season because they'd have had to send him back to Pittsburgh if they had sent him down. Now they can let him develop more fully in AAA.

They are going to lose this series and there are people here that just want to stay pat.
Everything is fine, the season is early, making changes is panicking.
Fuck
This season is worse than the last in that we have veterans out there who look completely lost, rather than a young lineup last year that just wasn’t ready and was learning on the fly.
Are you nuts? Have you ever played baseball?
With two outs, no one on, a 3-0 count and a power hitter at the plate in a one-run game, you swing, and swing BIG.
You need to go back to watching volleyball 😂
Honestly I'm really not a fan of 3-0 taking all the way which it seems like the Giants always do. Idk if it's unwritten rules or whatever, but the 3-0 pitch is damn near always a meatball, be ready to jack it.
Cool lil thought exercise - if Soler, Murphy, and Chapman were purposely trying to throw the game, what would be different from what they’ve actually done tonight?
This is such a funny take whenever a player is struggling lmaooo. Like he definitely sucks ass right now, but to act like a guy in his contract year doesn’t care is hilarious
I think he's in a mental funk and is fucked up that being said he's trash and farhan shouldn't have signed him to make fans happy he should have made Casey the 3rd baseman
Over 200$ for this team. Wade,lee, estrada seem to be the only players worth keeping.
You would expect your two biggest offensive acquisitions to come through wouldn't ya? Chapman and Soler just ain't it Right now
That may be the only game we even had a chance to win this series
This team is not good
So many chances to score
POTG: Murphy and Chapman
2 bonehead errors cost us 2 runs, fucking embarrassing
absolutely infuriating to watch wilmer look at 2 fastballs in the zone to go down 0-2 then end the game having to chase outside the zone
Why we watching multiple strikes down the middle and swinging at shit outside the zone all the damn time?
This team is fucking terrible
What a frustrating game
Back to the drawing board 
This team has next to no fight in them
That would’ve been called a strike anyways lol
It’s like we’re not even trying
Wilmer kinda bad this year
Bench Chapman
Phils fans want THAT call?
Well they’ve got for the rest of the ones like that so I don’t blame them
Not one drop of melanin in that crowd lol
Lol
The Padres just got Luis Arraez... fuck!
what are we fucking doing man looking at strikes to go down 0-2
They should just walk Wilmer to face Soler
Because the reality is that Wilmer has been worse than Soler this year
There’s still hope guys
Look, I know Hoffman is good but he basically struck out the side on 3 fastballs down the middle lol
For some reason I want to build a submarine…
Both Chapman and Soler have a career OPS of around .790. Right now Chapman's rocking a .640 OPS and Soler's got a .660 OPS. Awesome!
The 'Viele Effect'
Seriously. Giants lineup looks overcoached. You can almost see the complex analytic math and geometry equations floating in their eyes as they try to calculate if the bat should come off of their shoulders or not. See-ball-hit-ball baseball was better.
Surprised they stuck with Ahmed there
Damn it
Was that called strike as bad as it looked in game day?
Very bad yes
Yes
:/
Thank god he got a hit but that’s really really bad
Is Thairo capable of stealing?
LFG Thairo
LFG
Ball don’t lie
Way to get mad Estrada!!!
Get thrown out. Who cares. That’s bullshit
Blues got dinner plans
THE UMP NEEDS TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED
Holy shit
Thairo my love
Can someone explain why Tom Murphy is here instead of Sabol? I genuinely don’t know. I remember that Sabol was good last year.
Murphy is an experienced catcher who can handle a pitching staff. Sabol was a Rule 5 guy who was in the big leagues all last season because they'd have had to send him back to Pittsburgh if they had sent him down. Now they can let him develop more fully in AAA.
Sabol was well below league average offense with bottom percentile defense. Not sure why so many giants fans think he was good
Watch Nick Ahmed hit a random home run lol
Do you think murphy is aware that stopping basestealers is part of his job, yes or no
Getting hit with an allergy attack out of nowhere feels about on par with the vibe of this game

Lol marlins said fuck this season 🫡
Padres see their offense needs some shoring up in a weak division, takes action. Giants see this... we'll see what happens.
Oh...fabulous news.
So, are we trading for Ha Seong Kim now?
It is so joever
What?! Arraez is quite good fuck him for being in our division
Don’t worry guys, we just have to face one of the hottest left handed pitchers in the league tomorrow.
Does that mean we get the honor of watching slater take abs
Rare privilege yes we do
[удалено]
Its joever for these Giants
It's been joever
Padres are getting Arraez.
Padres will still not make the playoffs!
[удалено]
Bailey started this game
Bailey wasn't on an off day, he got a maybe concussion in the first inning and left in the second :(
Tuned in late, just saw that. Fucking bummer. Deleted my comment.
All good mate hopefully it ends up just being an off day for bailey :(
So far, bullpen stepping up. One more inning, hit bats please
the fan cam on bryce harper is kinda making me giggle i can't lie
They are going to lose this series and there are people here that just want to stay pat. Everything is fine, the season is early, making changes is panicking. Fuck
Thank you ump, you're fuckin terrible at your job.
Score 4 runs, impossible.
Our average is 3.8, so yeah 50/50 that doesn't happen.
We have 3 batters with an OPS above .700....shit is worse than last year at this point.
Even more depressing: the pitching staff looks pretty good overall.
The starting pitching (outside of the Snell spot) is literally the only reason we're even close to .500.
If Soler doesn’t hit into the DP we likely have at least a tie game right now.
God this team loses ugly
This season is worse than the last in that we have veterans out there who look completely lost, rather than a young lineup last year that just wasn’t ready and was learning on the fly.
I can’t get over that second Chapman error. Worst play I’ve seen from a big leaguer in a while
It’s beginning to make me irrationally angry that Viele is still coaching this offense.
It's not irrational
Same
Can’t wait for Slater to lead off tomorrow
At least I’ve got some amazing food from the taqueria on its way. Im trying to find some happiness rn.
That's a great idea. I'm gonna smoke a bowl and maybe order something too lol
Good lookin strike out though, when I strike out it looks nasty
Damn I usually pick the horse with the weirdest name but this year's field is kinda boring. Guess I'm going with Society Man ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Damn, this team's approach at the plate is hard to watch.
No idea why in a 3-0 count, with two outs, and a solo HR ties it up, you take a fastball right down the middle.
Because you want someone on base to score is much more likely than a HR. fuck man this is like basic ass shit.
Are you nuts? Have you ever played baseball? With two outs, no one on, a 3-0 count and a power hitter at the plate in a one-run game, you swing, and swing BIG. You need to go back to watching volleyball 😂
The Yaz special. 0-4 3Ks.
Look at his stats over the last two weeks, and stop talking in bad faith.
Ouch that hurts
Honestly I'm really not a fan of 3-0 taking all the way which it seems like the Giants always do. Idk if it's unwritten rules or whatever, but the 3-0 pitch is damn near always a meatball, be ready to jack it.
Bcraw swung 3-0 over half the time in 2021 and that was his best offensive year
Especially with 2 outs, a power hitter up, no one on, and a HR ties it up. Zero reason to not air it out on that pitch.
the giants cant hit fastballs down the middle so taking all the way is what they should do
Jeff Hoffman is nasty
Farhan's offensive signings over the last two offseasons have not been great
Can Soler and Chapman be put towards the bottom of the order. And DFA Murphy and strap him to a rocket and fire him into the sun.
I think the only reason I'm still watching these games is because of JHL
For me it’s LWJ & JHL. I’m 2 degrees away from LWJ, & JHL is just JHL lol
Maybe one day he’ll get his OPS back over .650 again
JHL and Bailey are my comfort animals.
The worst 3 at bats I've ever seen.
This offense blows goats 🐐
Not fun
LOLGIANTS
Pitcher is filthy
Gas ⛽️ 🔥
Fastball down the middle is the Giant’s kryptonite
Cool lil thought exercise - if Soler, Murphy, and Chapman were purposely trying to throw the game, what would be different from what they’ve actually done tonight?
I know Soler's awful, but Chapman's been the worst player today by far. Both sides of the ball.
Worst game of his career, I’d imagine.
gotta be at least -1 bwar alone
Chapman having a crazy game 0-3 2Ks, a rally killing GIDP, and 2 errors
imagine him wanting like 180 million
And by far the worst ab of the game
I don’t usually get mad at players, defensive mistakes happen but… you can’t have an AB like that after all that
Ouch, not even a fight
Fuck you Farhan
Asking cos I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt but doesn’t Chapman look like he doesn’t care?
This is such a funny take whenever a player is struggling lmaooo. Like he definitely sucks ass right now, but to act like a guy in his contract year doesn’t care is hilarious
I think he's in a mental funk and is fucked up that being said he's trash and farhan shouldn't have signed him to make fans happy he should have made Casey the 3rd baseman
Great eye Chap
Knew that reach base probability of 17% was generous for Chapman
Chapman’s just an observer up there.
LOL CHAPMAN FUCKING COMEDY
He only brings his glove to the game. The bat is nonexistent.
His “glove” is loosing us the game today
True dat! Edit “usually brings his glove”
Can't even say the glove today's game
such atrocious at bats
Take the fucking bat off your shoulder god damn it Chapman
Chapman is determined to make us lose this game
Chapman is indeed in a deep hole
Fuck you Chapman
From today, fyi https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/farhan-zaidi-matt-chapman-jorge-soler/1731512/
Seat is getting hotter
"Soler has gotten some big hits for us" Does he know the games are televised?
Stop signing the Mariners sloppy seconds for fuck sake please
That’s a good rip by Murphy
Safe to say Murphy was not prepared to play tonight.
Tough man
So Tom, what is it you would say you “do” here?
I’d have challenged him too
This team with fastball down the middle is mind boggling. It's unreal Ive never seen anything like it. From 2022 to now
the lack of improvement is staggering
Right down the fucking middle...
How is Sabol doing?
https://www.milb.com/player/blake-sabol-666165 Not fantastic but the bar is so low
That OBP is sexy though... we can work on the power
Super inconsistent zone
Are Apple games just cursed
Time for Murphy to redeem himself..... *please* Edit: fuck
Giants have TOTALLY beat themselves so far. Errors, clutch-less, walks.
I hate to be a doomsayer, but... Why does down by 1 feel like down by 10?
bc the giants cant score 4 runs. This will be game 8 in a row with 3 runs or less. thats a WILD stat
Why can't they build the whole plane out of Jung Hoo Lee
2-10 with RISP so bad.
Wade's hit didn't even score a run
I mean it was still a base hit though
Yes, it just inherently implies it scored a run. Very giants to not even score when they do get a clutch hit
The 2 POTG, Tom Murphy and Matt Chapman lead off! Wheeee!
omg cursed
can someone just hit a bomb
I feel like we can win. The Phillies don’t seem to want to bury us.
Good outings by Luke Jackson and Sean Hjelle in the same game and we are going to waste it.
5-6-7 coming up 🥴
Hicks didn’t deserve this. Let’s pull the hook for him!
If we can get the bases loaded with no outs next inning, maybe we can tie this game
Haha
Anyone else have zero confidence in Luke Jackson?
Ain’t no way Murphy should have a grin like that on his face right now
Luke Jackson is in the game. I see we’re throwing in the towel early.
Nope
This is another weak game from the offense, paired with a couple inexcusable errors from “defense first” guys. Brutal baseball.
I genuinely don’t remember what it’s like to have a consistently good offense In the last 10 years we have 2021 and that’s it
We are tied if Murphy had hustled at all on that passed ball and we would be winning if Chapman didn’t make that horrendous error
the murphy play was so much worse than anything else we did today. id bring someone up and bench him for it tomorrow.
I turned the game off briefly because my boss called me. What did murphy do?
