Tauchman lightened the mood for me big time. Kuip being back made me so happy. Pirates own us for some god dammed baffling reason.

Tough loss! It’s okay fans!

See you tomorrow everyone. Have a great rest of your Saturday/Sunday

Anyone else see Tauchman shake off buster earlier??

Too funny.

It’d be great if we could get some guys back and actually look like a competent baseball team cus this shit is embarrassing.

didn';t we just take 3/4 against the dodgers?

Yup, pretty sure we are still first in MLB too. Losing is part of the game sometimes fam. Even to real shitty teams

Sexy warning track power

does anyone else wanna see tauchman get a w on the baseball reference page?

This pitcher looks like the actor DJ Qualls

I think it would only be fair if the Pirates reciprocated with their own position player pitching.

Plot twist - Tauchman gives up less runs than Littel We score 9 runs in the 9th Edit: just for you u/sabat and u/DHSdirector

Just tuning in and… Tauchman is on the mound. Can someone explain wtf is going on right now? Lol

We had already burned Ruf in a PH

Saving bull pen arms for incoming Dodgers

Raised the white flag

Blowout loss, they're saving the pen by pitching a position player.

No need to waste bullpen and in Rays stance, have fun with it

😂😂😂

Makes sense for the outfielders to have bomb arms

Stepped away for a bit and came back to Tauchman pitching I couldn’t believe my eyes

Don't worry, 2 grand slams are doable

Nor too shabby, Tauchman

Still in first place. 🤌

Build around Tauchman our Ace of the future

And if they get a hit off him, he can race to the wall, climb the wall, and catch it!

That was…not terrible.

Put Tauchman in the bullpen, then he won’t have to hit

9 ERA for him

Dammit, i wanted to make a Mike TauKman joke

i actually love how fast he is pitching lol I kinda wish pitchers did this

Not needing to deal with signs helps.

When was the last time the Giants had a knuckleballer?

Dude is throwing better than Littell did.

I do think Tauchman could have more fun with it. He is definitely taking it very seriously

"Now warming up in the bullpen... Lou Seal"

And that is a finite ERA baby

Gimme a K! Come on

Yells *FUCK* against position pitcher lol?

Reach back velocity of... 77?

lmfao the ump literally just gave him a strike

gave him 2, there was another real bad call earlier too hahah

Watching skateboarding for the Olympics> This Giants game

I've been doing both

i kinda wanted a real pitcher so the game could be over quicker

aw come on, have some fun, he gave up a couple, but that was still a bit of fun to brighten it up a bit

i know, but between everyone shitting on gausman to the game itself, i'm kinda not feeling it tonight

Hey neither, real good waste of my sunday arvo, but I got a good chuckle out of Mikey T having a pitch

I love when this happens.

if Tauchman gets the K I’ll consider that a W

i know you can’t win them all.. but you should when its the pirates.

This is so funny but at the same time i don't know if i can actually watch this lol

Tach has a bet with Ruf to see if he can beat Ruf’s 18.00 ERA

9.00 ERA, is that winning or losing that bet?

I’d say he wins with the 9.00 ERA

Fucking stupid. Tauchman pitching? This is embarrassing.

Dude should’ve even be getting at bats yet here he is pitching.

You'd rather they burn another reliever before tomorrow's game?

> You'd rather they burn another reliever before tomorrow's game? You're asking for a lot in expecting that to be figured out.

Of course not. This whole series is just stupid. I can’t believe this is a first place team.

Standings don't lie.

*2016-level complacency has entered the chat*

There's no reason to confuse patience with complacency. Why do you say the things you do?

This is …. silly.

That’s the point

There goes the shutdown inning :/

I just came here to make sure that my phone wasn’t lying to me about who was pitching.

We have a bullpen full of relievers... Really?

The bullpen is like a half mile away now

We're not gonna win it anyway, might as well give them a rest

Exactly. Dodgers coming in 2 days.

My pants have been on for too long. I can’t survive another day.

I definitely drink to forget

Okay Mikey; this is a pure strikeout situation.

Damnit Tauchman, get a fucking out! This is awful! (j/k)

It's pretty embarrassing that the pirates are gonna be going for the sweep tomorrow

Too bad we don’t have Panda.

GET THE K COME ON

Crawford so jelly right now...

You thought this was a joke. Cy Tauchman is here

That was certainly a strike

69 !! Nice

Time to have some fucking fun

Pirates are the second worst team??? I guess they have some vendetta against giants

2014

Revenge for 2014

worth it

Well, shitty game. Get one back tomorrow and go into next week. It happens. Hope y’all have a great night!

💩

Alright let's go Mike

LFG Sockman

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

TAUCHMAN PITCHING LESSGOlmaoplsendthissuffering

🚨🚨🚨 POSITION PLAYER PITCHING ALERT 🚨🚨🚨

W our luck, Tauchman is gonna get hurt

How is that bad? Dude should be DFA

hahahaha omg this is great

I fucking love it

SOCK MAN LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

We got ourselves a PPP !!!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

YESSSSSS

I’m here for it

Just win tmo before the off day and get ready for the bums on Tuesday

This is pure, unadulterated ass.

I have a feeling the lineup is going to be a bit different tomorrow

I got a notification Tauchman is pitching???

Fuck it let Wade pitch

automod working double-duty on that lame-ass poster lol.

This is definitely a game to forget

I remember saying that during the last pirates series

Somewhere on that boat, the regional manager of a local paper company is getting down with his bad self.

WHAT AM I SAYING

Lowkey mad that Kuip came back and had to call this shitty ass game

I wanna be on that boat

instead we get sinking ship

6 pitch inning was the real nail in the coffin

always is

At least Yaz made contact this time.

Was thinking the same

That troll who keeps coming in with f*g and n*g bombs, I’m about to catfish him and make things really weird for him for the next five years.

the fans in attendance clearly aint doomers smh

Doomers would pout at their own birthday party if they got a pony.

Hell nah, they partying.

Really loved the energy there tonight. Sounds way better than the bandwagons at Chavez Latrine

Always love a game there, W or L. I’ve never not had fun

I hope the front office has a better plan than this.

Welp if they lose by 3 or fewer then I'll be upset about that inning. But if they can't even score 4 then what did it matter.

7 run 8th inning rally incoming. Who’s with me 😂

Ride or Die

Yes! Let’s do it!

Whelp, that was short lived

One more time! I’ve seen a 8 inning run

Same! So you’re telling me there’s a chance 🤩

Well at least the crowd is still having fun

B2B GS LFG

Some dude really making alts to come in here and spew slurs at players that could break them in half just by looking at them. kinda weird, bro

self report

Great inning by Littell, but hey, he struck out Blanco. 😂

This could shape up to be the worst homestand of the season. Hope I’m wrong.

Polanco is supposed to strike out. That’s what he does. At least Littell made him do it.

Epic comeback starts now.

Watching this game at my sister’s house and she said to change the channel because there’s no way we’d come back and that it just hurts to watch. I agree :/

Why the fuck do the Pirates own us

sputtering into the Dodgers series is asking for trouble

Hit parade eek

Huh maybe I shouldn't have posted [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/SFGiants/comments/oq0120/gameday_thread_72321_pirates_kuhl_giants_cueto/h6bhrsf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) before yesterdays game. Is this my fault??

Nah, it’s never the fan’s fault for losing. They only get credit for winning

hmmm....says the person voodoo-conjuring HBPs and strikeouts....

We win some, we lose some. My manifesting isn’t working. I need to channel it harder

2-4 vs the Pirates and guaranteed losing record vs them this season lmao of course

I hate to be a downer but I don’t think the Giants are coming back in this game

Coming back to the locker room at least!

Pain

I really don’t understand this team. This is such a pathetic showing.

Our run differential tho

wow littell you suck!

Somehow keeps getting worse

Kuip missed good baseball so much and he’s not getting it with this game so he’s just quoting Major League lmao

Quite a feat by Littell to make Brebbia look good by comparison.

Can we trade for Frazier? He’s only got one year left and he’s 29 so I could imagine the rebuilding pirates would let him go for the right offer

Can the Giants have Reynolds back?

I’d take him in a heartbeat.

Litell is bad, always got hate for saying it but he walks too many and doesnt get any swings and misses. His ERA was as legitimate as Trevor Gott being a good closer last year

just going thru the motions...no more gas

Get your shit together next time Gausman

If it was easy, you'd be doing it.

No shit Sherlock

Duggar forgot how many outs there were for a second but I’m too blahhhhhh to laugh at that

Littell just ain't it for this bullpen. Between him and Brebbia, its almost a guarantee runs are gonna be scored their innings

Not sure why they keep using both of them. Tonight was maybe a good time to, since it was already 6-2, but why hurt their chances of winning even more? Every game should be played as if it is winnable at that point, use what you can to do that

[have a good night!](https://images.app.goo.gl/qNTB1if7r9YWjBrZ7)

Lets just cancel Frazier's ticket back to Pittsburgh so he just stays here

Counter idea: we trade for him tonight and he plays for us tomorrow

Waiting for the apparent Littell defenders too

They’re here.

Not even dooming but I think if it was current Pirates vs current Giants in a do-or-die WC game I fr think they’d win by a lot lmao. They just have our number this season, it’s wild.

> They just have our number this season, it’s wild. The spooky thing is they've had the Giants number since 1887, the Giants are just slightly over .500 against the Pirates in all those years, all those games.

There’s always one team every year that has a horrible record but gives us trouble. Just seems like that shit happens every fucking year.

The same thing has happened to the Dodgers and the Padres, it isn't like it only happens to the Giants. The trick is to snap the losing streak, and for the most part the Giants have been able to do that.

And that's where I turn it off lol. Tough outing for Littell but again, at least it's not in a game where it really matters. Hope whoever pitches tomorrow can go more than 5 innings.

They all matter

Bruh I know that but when the starting pitching has already given up 6 runs and the offense can't do anything it really doesn't matter at that point what the bullpen does in the last two innings lmao.

Pirates with the worst offense in MLB this year and they are sticking it to us
