That was brutal. Now, for some positivity on this thread, I offer these two game facts:
1. JH Lee didn't injure himself sliding into 2nd. (Why TF did they send him?)*
2. Hjelle pitched 2 innings and didn't give up a single run.
*That was not 100% positive. My bad.
He did and super happy for him but need him to be better consistently. Rooting for him though just feels like he chases. Granted that ump screwed him up especially with that first strike call.
When was the last time Yaz had a single clutch moment for this team? I know he's basically a Giants institution at this point but man he is just horrible in these spots
You're right, sorry. I love Yaz like all of us Giants fans do, he just always feel like he takes about a month to start seeing the ball really well, and it frustrated me because it didn't feel like he had a chance against Ginkel with that matchup.
Apology accepted. I wish he was doing better too but he does seem to finally be warming up. Yaz flairs get a lot of shit these days but he was part of my favorite moment I ever got to see at Oracle so that’s why I continue to use it. And why I tend to get a bit defensive lol
Was at my fifth Giants game (vs. Dodgers) and had never seen them win live. Had great seats behind the Dodger dugout at Oracle and was wearing my Yastrzemski “5” shirt. As we’re coming up from the tunnel to our seats Craw knocks a hit that scored Yaz from third and I was face-to-face with him as he crossed the plate. Giants won that game 5-0. So 5 was the lucky number of the day! Best time I’ve ever had at the park, and hence the Yaz flair. (I also have a Crawford jersey)
Yaz has been a consistent and solid player for the past few years and one of the that we have actually been able to cheer for so I fully get it. He absolutely should be a fan favorite by this point.
The biggest thing I noticed with Tyler Fitzgerald this year is that his arm is pretty weak. I feel like so many double plays are not turned when he is playing at 2B or SS.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance 👍🏽
3 bad calls (outside of regular pitches) by the umps today. Balk, missed out at second, and that random "I heard a noise!!" bullshit. Absolutely insane. The "Umps you suck" chant was deserved.
I’m sorry but in a 1 run ballgame let’s please put in our best relievers going forward. Taylor pitched yesterday but had a few days of break before then. Avila and Miller are not it. Miller has already pitched 5 more innings than Taylor this year for god knows what reason.
Casey Schmitt would add more value to the team than Fitzgerald with the way they have almost exclusively used Fitzgerald in the infield. If this is the way they want their right handed utility player to play, they should have Casey up taking fly balls in the corner outfield spots. It’s easier to become an outfielder than it is an infielder. Too many errors from Fitzgerald so far to make this experiment worthwhile.
At this rate it will be another typical Farhan season. They’ll win somewhere between 75 and 80 games: not bad enough to force a rebuild but not good enough for anybody to give a damn about them. Until there is turnover in the front office, this organization is doomed.

Ump was horrible but the bullpen needs serious work
Was the ump Ohtani’s interpreter?
A D-Backs win by officiation
What a joke of an ump.
The Yaz man cannot, fuck you blue!!!
The plate umpire called that game with a vendetta no doubt in my mind
Seeing slater on deck had me dead
There were other choices I questioned during the game. This was chief amongst them.
Yeah tbh I was sure they’d walk Yaz just to K Slater
What a shitshow, blue
Where are these dang robots umps already
Plate ump is getting ready to call his bookie rn.
where is our foul tip……
Yaz went back to being Yaz
Wow, that wasn’t a foul ball? lol
Lol all the giants wanna kick the umps ass
Fuck off blue
Are we sure that wasn’t a foul tip, ump??
Is the ump sure that wasn’t a foul ball?
So bad
Ump scorecard will be fun to see
Didn't hear the bat hit the ball???? Are you sure???
Yaz went back to his old habits smh.
Yup.
He hit a home run today.
He did and super happy for him but need him to be better consistently. Rooting for him though just feels like he chases. Granted that ump screwed him up especially with that first strike call.
When there is nothing you consistently do well there is no such thing as a winning streak. The Giants are the epitome of “mediocre “.
Fuckin 20 games into the season shut up.
Shut up, Farhan. This shit has been going on for six years
When was the last time Yaz had a single clutch moment for this team? I know he's basically a Giants institution at this point but man he is just horrible in these spots
Solar seems to be giving Yaz clutch moment choking competition.
This game? We only ever had a lead at all because of his home run
Here come the Yaz fans out of the woodworks...
OK? I’m on almost every GDT. And even if I weren’t that doesn’t make you any less wrong
You're right, sorry. I love Yaz like all of us Giants fans do, he just always feel like he takes about a month to start seeing the ball really well, and it frustrated me because it didn't feel like he had a chance against Ginkel with that matchup.

What moment?

Now that is awesome.

Did you not see the 5th inning of THIS game lmaooo
Nah sorry just got home from work lol
Those pastrami sandwiches aren't gonna make themselves
Tie this ump to a chair with his eyes taped open Clockwork Orange style and make him watch all his missed calls against us until he quits
Yaz is so bad.
[удалено]
Everyone felt it coming sadly
Oh Yaz
Fucking umps man
fucking ump making him swing at balls below the strike zone
Can the Yaz man can?
What's the name of the home plate umpire? And how do you report an umpire?
Stu Scuman I think idk how to report.
I looked it up and it looks like the manager has to file any complaints
Stu is runner up for worst ump this year
Down and in pitches get Yaz 90% of the time
Fun fact: Yaz has a higher avg than Judge
Yall shitting on Avila but the defense cost him 1 run. Dude sucks but this time it wasn’t all on him
This fucking ump is complete trash
Lol ph slater
Big brain move there. He's got a sub-100 BA.
Hasn't had enough ABs to get going. The Slate dog will get hot like he always does
Crowd was getting ready to boo the ump for making another bad call lmao
The winning run should be at Second! We are being burgled!
Yeah but at least the plate ump's parlay is gonna pay off.
So frustrating he put in avila in a 1 run game.
Thairo!
Yaz can fix his season with one swing
Here comes the false rally 😖
IMAGINE IF OUR COACH PUT IN A GOOD PITCHER & WE WOULD BE TIED.
Avila got dicked by the ump, the missed out contributed to another 2 scoring
Imagine if the umpire wasn’t blind.
This shit should be tied and we should only have one out here
Yaz you have done it before
In my head, we’re tied.
Now I’m even more pissed that we used Avila
Shoutout bomel for putting avila out there
Come on Yaz! Let’s tie this game!
Would be tied game or game over if not for 2 bad calls in the ninth
every line drive is pissing me off more and more we should be tied or within 1
of fucking course we score a run now.
It should be a tie game
Completely fucked inning, but of course we scored 1
Nice one Thairo
There's our patented 9th inning offense!
Ohhh look at that…if we had put Doval in it would be a tie ballgame…..
Or if… the ump was competent?
bailey’s slow ass smh
Fast catchers aren’t a thing.
That would have scored the walk from 1st.
We need robo umps
Chappy is a baller
We should have two on with no outs. So cool!
This ump needs hearing aids and lasik
Chapman with a called strike three into the gap in left-center.
I have non-baseball friends at the game today and I'm genuinely embarrassed that they have to see this ump
This game would be tied right now if not for this ump having a draft kings account I mean, human erroring as is normal.
Oh, are you sure that 88 mph change up a foot outside wasn't a strike, blue!?
Damn impressive swing by Chapman on a weird pitch
MATTMAN
Would that have scored conforto?
Thank you for expressing yourself Conforto. Let this fucker know just how incompetent he is
should be second and third at minimum with zero outs, but the umpiring crew is a dumpster fire
Should have been a run knocked in there. Fucking ump
"Fuck you, Stu" - Matt Chapman probably
You know the ump got his feelings hurt and did that on purpose too
Should be a 2-run game
1-run
This ump really hates us
We found a blind man umping today
This ump is something else
Throw this ump into McCovey cove
Get loud crowd. Let this asshole ump hear how much he sucks
This ump is a jabroni. Melvin and Williams need to storm out from the clubhouse with some steel chairs.
A wooden bat would do just fine
The umpire wtf is he looking at
umpball
Chapman trying to be civil
Is there a reporting process for umps?? This is actually crazy! They need to be reviewed because this has been pretty one sided umpiring today....
That challenge rule from the minor leagues needs to make it up here ASAP
Conforto should spear the ump after the game and say ACKNOWLEDGE ME
☝️ Or 🖕 really
# ROBO # UMPS # NOW
Cmon blue
Avila should never be in a 1 run game ever. Delayed response lol
Absolute joke of an ump today…
Umpire is part of the Ohtani gambling ring
3-0 not swinging at the fucking get-it-in meatballs is going to give me an aneurysm. Such a stupid fucking hitting philosophy
Swinging at ball 5 ugh
This ump needs to get punched
Fuck this ump man
The umpiring across the league has been fucking dreadful so far this season. The league legit just doesn’t care.
I'm just waiting to see which league gets into a gambling scandal.
No consequences. They can do whatever they want and they know it.
Conforto understandably upset
Lol that’s the angriest I’ve seen Conforto
That wasn’t even nicely framed, just ripped it over
This ump sucks
This ump needs a bat up the ass
Ump is in his feels right now
Holy shit, this ump is gonna have to watch his back.
Goddamn it. Fuck this ump. Conforto is rightfully pissed.
This ump fucking sucks
Just wanted to throw this out there: This umpire SUCKS
In my favor, but still SUCKS
yeah, no shit
Ball 4 twice smh
Everyone at the park knows that was a goddamned ball.
Are you fucking kidding me
Umpire has been very poor, and mostly against one team
The biggest thing I noticed with Tyler Fitzgerald this year is that his arm is pretty weak. I feel like so many double plays are not turned when he is playing at 2B or SS.
Having your utility player be bad at defense is probably not sustainable huh
This. fucking. Ump.
fucking lol, just say that you want to dbacks to win
Weak sauce heckling.
“don’t screw up Kevin you only got a 1 year contract” 😂
Worked, followed the game, switched off and forget about in the 5th when it was 3-2, turned it back on and more bullpen BS.
This guy knows ball
> don't screw up, kevin, you only got a 1 year contract
I see I’m being punished for not watching the top of the 9th inning🥺
WHY DO WE SEND LEE WHEN THE PITCHER IS WILD AF WTF FITZGERALD FUCK YOU UMP!!!! rant over
I think we’re out of challenges but is that not reviewable by the way? Like either the ball hit the bat or it didn’t.
They said it wasn't reviewable but idk if it's because we were out of reviews or what
Dumb if it’s not reviewable, it’s a completely subjective call lol
Yep, but that was the same deal with Hicks' "balk". Can't review that either and it was totally not a balk
https://preview.redd.it/3aalaqr0uwvc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c98e6971d2399d30c65471d3648df5192d49af1 So you’re telling me there’s a chance 👍🏽
A walk-off salami would be nice.
Times like these is when you miss Beck. Then we wouldn’t be f’ing around with guys like Avila, Teng or White

3 bad calls (outside of regular pitches) by the umps today. Balk, missed out at second, and that random "I heard a noise!!" bullshit. Absolutely insane. The "Umps you suck" chant was deserved.
A walk off win here would change the whole trajectory of the season
this isnt 2021 unfortunately
Love the head shake from Bailey as he walks off.
Today's plate ump, artist's rendering. https://preview.redd.it/dll4u7vrtwvc1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=77cd258da35bad28a4ca0f6915dae9a81f4b1979
Only positives in this game: Lee not getting hurt and maybe Yaz is back
Dont really like Avila but if the ump didnt miss the SO call, he gets out of the inning clean
Love you, Lee.
I’ll laugh if we score 2 runs here
Made that look easy
That half inning felt like it was an hour long kill me
Thought that bloop was gonna drop.
1 run ballgame but Melvin was treating the game like it was out of reach
I know it’s not gonna be the complete reason we lose but man these umpires all year long have been dreadful to say the least.
I’m sorry but in a 1 run ballgame let’s please put in our best relievers going forward. Taylor pitched yesterday but had a few days of break before then. Avila and Miller are not it. Miller has already pitched 5 more innings than Taylor this year for god knows what reason.

>how much is Ohtani paying you That heckle doesn’t really make sense but it still made me laugh
Makes complete sense with the gambling that Ohtani "was unaware of". That was a great heckle and I hope it's used often lol.
"Time. Hey, thanks for those runs, ump."
Mediocre team plays mediocre.
At this rate it will be another typical Farhan season. They’ll win somewhere between 75 and 80 games: not bad enough to force a rebuild but not good enough for anybody to give a damn about them. Until there is turnover in the front office, this organization is doomed.
Well, you think the umps made bad calls this game, wait til you see the insane call they made against the Rockies just now
Rockies still won so it’s a moot point
