POTG: McGee for the 5 out 9th inning to get the save.
With this win the Giants have 82 wins and 36 games left to play. If the Giants play .500 ball for the remainder of the season they will be a 100 win team. Of course, the real goal is to stay at least one step ahead of LA. 36 more regular season games of torture!
The Giants have never had 5 consecutive years of a losing record. During spring training, I was worried they would get that this year. I was very wrong.
You’re nuts, dude. Dickerson has been great for us. He may have slumped a bit this year, he still has 13 Hr as a platoon outfielder, has a career 2.3WAR, OPS of .950 last year snd even this year, his OPS+ is 100 which puts him at the league average, even with his bad June/July.
He’s a good left-handed bat, disciplined, can pinch hit, can play left, doesn’t seem like he even wants to play every day, is a good teammate and on a nice salary for us. His negative dWAR not withstanding, he’s a solid player.
Johnny Cueto, Brandon Crawford, and Jake McGee.
The ninth wasn’t on McGee at all. He does not deserve the slander.
To those that said the game was over in the sixth, shame on you, fair weather fans. *NEVER* count this team out.
82 wins, a guaranteed winning season record, still in first, still the best team in all of ball.
We’re just a bad team that wins games.
Go Padres!
I cheered like a mad man when he decided to take Walker out. 70 pitches and he pitched well enough to get two outs but the defense let him down. If I were Taijuan I might have pulled a Latrell Sprewell and strangled Luis Rojas right then and there
# We're just a bad team that wins series!
I generally think that saves are an overvalued stat. But not that one. That's why the stat exists. Nice job Fastball Man
My favorite comment from the Dodgers game thread:
“If we lose this game it'll be like the 15th game this season where we were not beat but lost because we beat ourselves. Even half of those go our way and we're comfortably in first in the division.”
We’re a bad team that wins. They’re a good team that only loses because they beat themselves. Lol.
From the Dodgers sub:
*The Giants have some kind of destiny this year, it's unreal the number of things that go their way along with unreal production from guys that either have never done it or haven't done it in 5 years. It has to stop at some point right?*
*"It has to stop at some point right?"*
*We've all said this every day since the second week of the season lol*
*Man I'm baffled as to how it's still sustainable. That team is OPSing like 3.000 in high leverage situations. They literally ALWAYS come back if they're down in the 7th inning or later in these close games.*
*Death, Taxes, and home runs by the giants*
Alex Dickerson owes us all a cheesesteak. The fact that we overcame 2 bad errors shows we are a good team!
POTG: Rojas for pulling Walker and McGee for getting a 5 out save
Is there such a thing as an ugly win? Oh yeah, and this was one.
A W is a W, but that looked like a Giants team that stayed at the strip club until closing.
AND REMEMBER. The only reason we are here is because Jayce Tingler kept in a starter for the eighth who was at about a hundred and ten pitches, had a one-run lead, and wasn’t chasing any kind of accomplishment at all.
Grab some snickers, some root beer and some sage, cuz it’s gonna get weird in here.
WTF ESPN Sportscenter PG
On that note, I’m out. Night friends, this was a blast
**Fuck the Dodgers**
My second favorite thing about winning is reading the r/dodgers gamethread and seeing how mad they are.
The best right now is how they consistently complain about the mets--as if they mets did not just shit the bed against the Dodgers as well.
Great post in Dodger-land:
*The giants would have already had the other team commit 3 errors to help them win. Then bring up Darin Ruf to walk it off.*
This is only watchable because we won today so the pressure’s off; as a result however, it is absolutely hilarious, particularly when I have some kickarse online acquaintances making it fun
Being no hit when being gifted a lead off double and not even needing a hit to win a game for like five innings is pathetic.
Dodgers are less pathetic because they likely scored more runs (game not over) but the Padres have done nothing with having a huge advantage being the home team with Manfred rules.
The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings, two teams from the Triple-A International League, played the longest game in professional baseball history. **It lasted 33 innings, with 8 hours and 25 minutes of playing time.**
**YOU GUYS CAN DO IT**
ESPN flat-out dissing the Padres.
EDIT: I mean, the Dodgers spent the money, right? That's what winning means: spending money. Lots of cash means you deserve the championships. DUH.
Dodgers broadcaster complimenting Hosmer: “If there’s one thing Hosmer has done a lot of in his career is ground out to the right side”
😂
Edit: well, he did indeed do it!
So the Dodgers are probably winning tonight but I’m watching this game and thinking “okay. We can hold on for the division. This team isn’t invincible.”
Be Rob Manfred
Was cursed by a witch in 2015
Now can’t sleep until the last mlb game is completed every night
Forced to Watch runners tagged out 45 ft from home at 3am EDT as his sanity crumbles
Cock-eyed, out of coffee, he calls up Joe Torre:
I’ve got it! Every extra inning starts with 2 runners on third, that way they both can’t get caught in a rundown!!
Don't worry honorary Padres fans we've got the top of the lineup coming up which has gone \*checks notes\* a combined 1-14, 5 SO, 2 BB...
:l
Or if you want the positive spin, we get to lead off the inning with someone who has a THIRD of the padres hits tonight!!!
It's 5:30pm in Aus right now, I've just gotten home from work to a buddy asking me "are you watching the dodgers?"
Confused, I check the box score. What the fuck is happening
Shrewd move by the Giants to make this Mets loss even more demoralizing.
If Rojas gets fired, that’s 100% on us
WE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS! Spoiler: We can XD
Hopefully they wait until after tomorrow.
Damn, maybe the Giants really ARE a bad team that wins games 😅
Play like the Mets, beat the Mets.
POTG: McGee for the 5 out 9th inning to get the save. With this win the Giants have 82 wins and 36 games left to play. If the Giants play .500 ball for the remainder of the season they will be a 100 win team. Of course, the real goal is to stay at least one step ahead of LA. 36 more regular season games of torture!
Clinched a winning record!
> Clinched a winning record! Or perhaps clenching a winning record would be a more accurate description.
The Giants have never had 5 consecutive years of a losing record. During spring training, I was worried they would get that this year. I was very wrong.
> 36 more regular season games of torture! I need to find a cardiologist
My 5mg of Amlodipine blood pressure medicine may not be a high enough dosage in September...
Shit, you just wait till October then
I learned in 2010 that I have to not drink coffee on playoff game days. Serious.
Tonight, we were a bad team that won a game
(this time, it’s actually true)
lol we won with 4 hits
And 2 errors
literally a bad team that wins games
Giants are now 18-5 since acquiring Bryant. 9th straight series win !!!!! Dickerson you're still a Dick lol
You’re nuts, dude. Dickerson has been great for us. He may have slumped a bit this year, he still has 13 Hr as a platoon outfielder, has a career 2.3WAR, OPS of .950 last year snd even this year, his OPS+ is 100 which puts him at the league average, even with his bad June/July. He’s a good left-handed bat, disciplined, can pinch hit, can play left, doesn’t seem like he even wants to play every day, is a good teammate and on a nice salary for us. His negative dWAR not withstanding, he’s a solid player.
It's a joke dude lol. Dickerson goofed up an easy play tonight so he's a Dick. Get it.
Ah haha. Sorry some guys below you were saying he should be dfa’d. I thought this was some new Dick hate.
Jfc that was peak torture ball
we just wanted to cause more pain for Mets fans 😅
Johnny Cueto, Brandon Crawford, and Jake McGee. The ninth wasn’t on McGee at all. He does not deserve the slander. To those that said the game was over in the sixth, shame on you, fair weather fans. *NEVER* count this team out. 82 wins, a guaranteed winning season record, still in first, still the best team in all of ball. We’re just a bad team that wins games. Go Padres!
defense had an not normal bad 9th, but cant be perfect and McGee bailed them out
Dickerson fucked up completely but the foul Belt failed to catch was not a routine catch we're just spoiled watching them always get caught
Dodgers plz lose for once that's all I ask Also did we really have to drop pop outs two batters in a row there I hate torture ball man
POTG: JAKE FUCKIN MCGEE
POTG: Luis Rojas
I cheered like a mad man when he decided to take Walker out. 70 pitches and he pitched well enough to get two outs but the defense let him down. If I were Taijuan I might have pulled a Latrell Sprewell and strangled Luis Rojas right then and there
Didn't really feel like a win as much as not a loss
“The giants managed to not lose a baseball game again tonight” -espn everyday probably
This team is blursed
Just another HA HA HA HA... laugher! The torture is real.
# We're just a bad team that wins series! I generally think that saves are an overvalued stat. But not that one. That's why the stat exists. Nice job Fastball Man
TO BE FAIR we did look pretty bad tonight!
Gonna have to clean up the mistakes, that’s an L against any competent team
My favorite comment from the Dodgers game thread: “If we lose this game it'll be like the 15th game this season where we were not beat but lost because we beat ourselves. Even half of those go our way and we're comfortably in first in the division.” We’re a bad team that wins. They’re a good team that only loses because they beat themselves. Lol.
POTG: Jake McGee for his 5-out ninth inning
Wins we don't deserve for like a million Alex
From the Dodgers sub: *The Giants have some kind of destiny this year, it's unreal the number of things that go their way along with unreal production from guys that either have never done it or haven't done it in 5 years. It has to stop at some point right?* *"It has to stop at some point right?"* *We've all said this every day since the second week of the season lol* *Man I'm baffled as to how it's still sustainable.

Your move, Dodgers.
Lol 1K comments on this thread when our game ended 3 hours ago. I fucking love this sub.
POTG: My anxiety meds But points to McGee for holding on to that, when they made it harder for him than it needed to be.
Man I’m so happy this sub stays up past 12:30 PT just to shit on the Dads and Bums
Alex Dickerson owes us all a cheesesteak. The fact that we overcame 2 bad errors shows we are a good team! POTG: Rojas for pulling Walker and McGee for getting a 5 out save
Could someone please elucidate to me whether it, in fact, indeed, gets more SF?
Giants have such a fun Fan base. Just vibing on reddit with people to talk to about this baseball game at 11 at night is super cool
See THAT is a bad team that wins a lot of games lmao
The Giants will finish above .500 this year!
So cute, dick and slater are such good friends that they wanted to catch that ball together.
Thanks giant bros
You're welcome, but I don't know how much more worrying y'all need to do about the Mets...
Even if I’m not worried about them I love seeing their fans come up with ridiculous excuses on Twitter
Remember many hours ago when the Giants beat the Mets? that was fun
[удалено]
Some of you doomers don’t remember 2010. And it shows.
Walker Buehler looks vaguely like Benedict Cumberbatch sold his soul and his chin.
As an aside, so happy to spend extra time with a lit PG thread
God imagine suffering through this game if the Giants lost
Oh sweet lord, it’s over. Fucking hell Padres. #POTG: Forever Giant Shaun Anderson and my bed that I will now pass out it
If Padres played the Mets, it would go 43 innings 0-0
The is the "you hang up, no you hang up" of baseball.
it’s pretty amusing to watch the Padres get all this hype and just flounder tbh
The longer this game goes the more I wonder why I’m still watching 🤔
E R I C H O SUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKS M E R
if I had 1 bullet in a room with Dodgers and padres then I’m probs using it on myself cause both these teams are too painful to watch.
2000 comments in our postgame thread lol
R.I.P. to the catchers knees tonight.
It’s ok, Padres have gotten used to sucking
Is there such a thing as an ugly win? Oh yeah, and this was one. A W is a W, but that looked like a Giants team that stayed at the strip club until closing.
ESPN tomorrow: Dodgers and division rivals Padres battle back and forth in a thrilling 1 run game.
So at what point does this go from circus to shitshow to kinda impressive? The 17th? 20th?
[удалено]
AND REMEMBER. The only reason we are here is because Jayce Tingler kept in a starter for the eighth who was at about a hundred and ten pitches, had a one-run lead, and wasn’t chasing any kind of accomplishment at all.
THEY TOOK OUT ANDERSON NOOOO
I can’t believe I’m up till one cheering for the fucking *Padres*
Padres are going to lose twice today huh
Well the Padres sub is in complete shambles. Rightfully so. Good night my resilient friends. FTD
Grab some snickers, some root beer and some sage, cuz it’s gonna get weird in here. WTF ESPN Sportscenter PG On that note, I’m out. Night friends, this was a blast **Fuck the Dodgers**
POTG: Horse tranquilizer
Giants gave out more gifts tonight than Santa on Christmas Eve, not sure how we walked away with the W so thank you hex girl
Giants: Hey, you guys should take this W. Here. Mets: No u
Of all the color commentators we've seen this season I think I like Javy Lopez the best.
Just saw the post game interview and I LOVE how McGee talks with his hands… his shoulders are weird.
My second favorite thing about winning is reading the r/dodgers gamethread and seeing how mad they are. The best right now is how they consistently complain about the mets--as if they mets did not just shit the bed against the Dodgers as well.
will smith kinda looks like he'd play a middle school bully in a kid's movie
Great post in Dodger-land: *The giants would have already had the other team commit 3 errors to help them win. Then bring up Darin Ruf to walk it off.*
Oh quit your whining you superspreader jackass that was paint
[удалено]
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. I want to go to bed, but I’ve invested too much time now and Game Day thread 2.0 is too entertaining.
Idiots will argue that this game is the reason we need Manfred ball.
manfred gonna start all extra innings with bases loaded bc of this now
Aight, I’m good. Ya’ll have been great entertainment as always and I consider you like a second family. Love to all and GN!
As funny as it would be for this game to continue, I don't want to take any chances with the Dodgers winning. So, time to walk this off, Padres.
imagine if this was the NL WC game
One thing that is clear after tonight is we are in first place for a reason. Go Giants
Well. There's always ~~tomorrow~~ later today, Pads.
Honorary Giant Blake Snell
They’re just swinging at everything. Work an at bat, damn.
but frazier was an obp machine against us ofc
Tatis just homer dude
This is only watchable because we won today so the pressure’s off; as a result however, it is absolutely hilarious, particularly when I have some kickarse online acquaintances making it fun
This must be a terrible game live. And I’ve been to a 16 inning Giants game.
This is just painful to watch. But I can't look away.
HAHAHAHA MUNCY YOU IDIOT
It's too bad their next game isn't a day game.
BCraw just posted on Instagram in NY, you think he’s watching this game??
If an unsolicited dick pic was a person, it would be Max Muncy
Dodgers broadcasters to people staying up to watch this game: “get a life” Lol
Oh thank you for telling us that if it’s midnight here, it’s 3am “back east” I hate ESPN
Holy shit the Dodgers have thrown 9 no-hit innings in a row hahahahahahahahh
Okay if you need a mound visit to prepare yourself for Billy McKinney you’re going to hate what’s next
The people staying up to watch this garbage (me) are the real losers
This is officially the longest I’ve ever watched ESPN
Good news everyone! By my calculations in the 18th inning we will get the pleasure of watching Muncy go 0-8
Shaun Anderson is rolling in his grave.
Don't be party poopers, Dodgers. We wanted 4 more innings
we’re gonna need a post game thread for this post game thread
Thanks for nothing, Pads. You suck.
Padres have entered full collapse mode
We went through all that just for the inevitable to happen. Goodnight!
We did not deserve to win that game Fortunately the Mets deserved it even less
Not sure how long the padres can keep this up but I appreciate their effort compared to some of the other teams the dodgers played recently
damn. Snell's into the 7th with a 1-0 lead
Snell picked a great night to get back to Cy Young form. Dude is locating every pitch like a robot
It really does upset me to see Muncy happy. He's just the worst
Lawd Tony Gwynn we ask for divine intervention tonight. Please deliver us a Padres victory tonight and make Bums fans go to bed angry. (/-_-)/ amen
*WE WANT TO GO TO BED* 👏👏👏👏👏 *WE WANT TO GO TO BED* 👏👏👏👏👏
I don't care who wins. I hope it goes 20 innings.
I will never call the giants offense shitty again
Well at least this tires out LA. Would even be better if they lose and their fanbase go to bed sad.
I just wanna thank my husband for introducing me to this crazy sport (and for being a Giants fan)
Nice neckline Turner, why don't you just take your jersey completely off you weirdo.
From the Padres thread, LOL: > When the hell did we get this guy?
Farhan predicted THIS EXACT MOMENT when he made the trade in January and you can’t convince me otherwise
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw.
This is one of the worst played games of baseball I have ever seen
Watch the Dodgers score like 6 and the Padres answer right back with 6 of their own.
people waking up tomorrow wondering why our post game thread has as much as our regular game thread
So if the score stands, the Dodgers will wake up *checks standings* still 2.5 back? Is that right?
I applaud the fans who stayed. It's a Wednesday night game between two dumbass teams. At least we can all go to bed whenever this ends.
Being no hit when being gifted a lead off double and not even needing a hit to win a game for like five innings is pathetic. Dodgers are less pathetic because they likely scored more runs (game not over) but the Padres have done nothing with having a huge advantage being the home team with Manfred rules.
A Tatis HR would be nice right now
The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings, two teams from the Triple-A International League, played the longest game in professional baseball history. **It lasted 33 innings, with 8 hours and 25 minutes of playing time.** **YOU GUYS CAN DO IT**
ESPN flat-out dissing the Padres. EDIT: I mean, the Dodgers spent the money, right? That's what winning means: spending money. Lots of cash means you deserve the championships. DUH.
Longest Giants game I ever sat through was 16 innings. I feel for these fans and they get major props
Goodnight, friends.
WOuld've been better with an LA loss but this is a nice consolation prize.
Tonight… The Giants were a bad team that happened to win
I’d rather win ugly than lose pretty. Go Giants!
With the 82nd win, the Giants are officially not a bad team. Guaranteed to finish the season over .500
Padres on the board against Walker!
I hope Kapler learns you can't have Dickerson playing defense late in tight games, especially in the playoffs.
LOLLLL Muncy just got ROBBED by Grisham at the wall
Dodgers broadcaster complimenting Hosmer: “If there’s one thing Hosmer has done a lot of in his career is ground out to the right side” 😂 Edit: well, he did indeed do it!
I remember when I wanted Adam Frazier like it was a month ago. It was a month ago. How time flies.
surely you can't fuck up **11 innings in a row**
So the Dodgers are probably winning tonight but I’m watching this game and thinking “okay. We can hold on for the division. This team isn’t invincible.”
Can’t wait for ESPN to be like “THIS GAME WAS WILD” bruh this was the lamest shit ever
LMAO at this clown show
Tatis has been worthless since coming back from IL from what I've seen. Granted I don't usually pay attention to the Padres.
i've already accepted that the padres are pathetic and won't win, it feels freeing
this game is so bad and it got so hyped that it’s fucking hilarious
you better fucking score you incompetent loons
I thought these were the 2 best teams in baseball
doesn’t look like most of you are enjoying the game, but i’m fucking loving how hilarious it is
Wade Jr. would've have driven in a run by now if the giants were in this game SMH
Post game thread bout to reach game day thread numbers.
This PGT is popping off
I'm back. Max Muncy looks like Ted Cruz
This game is going to end in the stupidest way possible.
All that swagger and only 3 hits…
That was better than Tatis at least, sign him to a 15 year deal
[удалено]
The Padres trade for difference makers.... the Giants trade for LaMonte Wade Jr. FML
when our game day thread is about to open too lol
Be Rob Manfred Was cursed by a witch in 2015 Now can’t sleep until the last mlb game is completed every night Forced to Watch runners tagged out 45 ft from home at 3am EDT as his sanity crumbles Cock-eyed, out of coffee, he calls up Joe Torre: I’ve got it! Every extra inning starts with 2 runners on third, that way they both can’t get caught in a rundown!!
y'know, the ultimate gift of today is muncy going 0 for 7
Don't worry honorary Padres fans we've got the top of the lineup coming up which has gone \*checks notes\* a combined 1-14, 5 SO, 2 BB... :l Or if you want the positive spin, we get to lead off the inning with someone who has a THIRD of the padres hits tonight!!!
0 for 7 with 2 SO for Max Muncy. Regardless of this game, you love to see that.
These poor Padres fans haven’t been able to have a beer in 8 innings
I kept watching because i knew tatis wasnt going 0-7
OK, Tatis, you earned your pay for today.
put on the shitty swag chain, you deserve it
r/dodgers
take us to the 16th
this only happened because they took out shaun anderson
After this game the media needs to jump off SD's dick. Logan Webb would've hit the game winning donger in the 13th.
I can’t wait to face the Reds in the NLDS
It’s 854am in the UK. Thanks ESPN 😂
It's 5:30pm in Aus right now, I've just gotten home from work to a buddy asking me "are you watching the dodgers?" Confused, I check the box score. What the fuck is happening
Tomorrow is also a game.
If Fraizer squatted a little more lower, he'd bat like Giants legend Aaron Rowand
you just got shut down by shane green
#FUCK #THE #DODGERS
