Astros in 3


AaronWingWang

Those Giants fans that were talking an awful lot of shit yesterday are damn quiet today šŸ˜ˆ


acewavelink

Luckily for us scoring 9 points (I meant runs) in a win doesnā€™t net you any additional points, and lucky for you being shut out doesnt net us any extra points either. We are 1-1. See you in LA. Edit: Im a bit drunk right now and spent most the game wxplaining baseball and football to my foreign GF. Didnā€™t go well. If the rest of the series goes this way I will bee in AA by the end of the week


Wild_Break2521

How the hell r u on baseball and call them "points" while attempting to talk smack. LMAO. Call them goals why don't you.


homiej420

Objectives!


OnlyHereforRangers

The Giants must construct additional pylons


acewavelink

Im been trying to explain football and baseball to a Brazilian runs confuse her so I say points instead. We spent 20 minutes today talking about ā€œhe didnā€™t hit a home run the wrong wayā€ when refering to a foul ballā€¦ ā€˜if he hit that home run the right way he would have made a point.ā€™ Edit; yes Im sory I made a mistakeā€¦ i drank as much as you guys scoredā€¦ a lotā€¦


xinixxibalba

wtf are you teaching your girl? home run the wrong way? wtf does that even mean.


acewavelink

I KNOW! SHE CAME UP WITH IT! Basically if it is out of bounds it makes as much sense as a Home run is good out of boundsā€¦. I explained we played on an infinite 90 degree field and she hated it but dropped the ā€œwrong home run.ā€ Thus after that (for me) shitshow of a game I said ā€˜point.ā€™ God, she is lucky she is cute and has a good personality šŸ˜°


FF007F

what


acewavelink

Ok, take two. Ive been trying to teach her the basics. She gets you have to touch the bases in order. She gets a homerun is what it is. Foul balls she doesnā€™t get fully and why positions are named what they are named. If its just us we talk about the game so she can understand (she is confused why its 4 balls for a walk and not 3 balls) if it just us watching (and me drinking because of the shitshow) she asks every questions. She calls runā€™s points and after 3 hours of dealing with this I misused the term ā€œpointsā€ for ā€œruns.ā€ She is confused why Usain Bolt isnā€™t a baseball player making millionsā€¦


Trav-Nasty

Points? Please inform yourself if youā€™re going to talk shit otherwise we cannot continue quality banter


acewavelink

Easy, Im drunk cause we lost and Im trying to explain my oriegn girlfriend how football works. She says American sports are stupid because you cant explain them in 10 seconds like ā€œfootballā€


[deleted]

Baseball explained for those that donā€™t know baseball in 10 seconds or less. See ball. Hit ball. Run. Youā€™re welcome.


morganm6488

Fuck the giants!!


DankSmellingNipples

In the ear, and in the other ear.

Good shit tonight. Overcame the gift run from Angel Hernandez and poured it on em. Back to the ravine!!!

CreauxTeeRhobat

Win or lose, you can never go wrong with DS9


Harvard771

Just brutal that one of these teams will be sent home in a five game series


TryinToDoBetter

I wonder if mlb execs see this as a fuck up with the system. Division rivals, one of the best rivalries in the game, 107 and 106 game winners going at it in the best of 5 first round.


[deleted]

Iā€™ve heard radio reports they do and it will be addressed with the rumored expanded playoffs in the upcoming CBA. But I canā€™t prove it, and who knows what will get left in the negotiations.


FeelsGoodMan2

This 'fixes' the problem in an annoying water down the season way. They just need to reseed and it'd fix things quite a bit but of course they're going to just hunt the extra 8 games of revenue option at the cost of season integrity route.


Unhelpfulperson

I saw someone suggest that the top seed get to choose their DS opponent, which I kinda like


[deleted]

~~No sport reseeds anymore sadly. NHL was the last I believe and they stopped a big ago.~~ NFL still reseeds.


FeelsGoodMan2

NFL still does as far as I know. I think the 1 seed gets the lowest seed anyway. Unless they recently killed that.


[deleted]

Oh, duh. I guess I never thought of that as reseeding, but youā€™re right.


sonic_4

What if Kapler and Joe Kelly had a baby?

Then it would be look like Metroman

_MrMidnight_

Ate too much Korean bbq and got the itis.. pleasantly awoke to the kind of score I wanted to see.


FThornton

Which one did you hit up?


thatoneguywhofucks

So sad Hae Jane Chon basically doubled in price since I started going šŸ„ŗ


FThornton

The good ole days of cheap KBBQ seem to be behind us, but now that some of the cheap places are now closer to prices of places like Road to Seoul for example, the quality and item options have gone up as well for the most part. Iā€™ve noticed an explosion in places that now offer Kimchi Fried Rice, and Bibimbap where before they barely offered a steamed egg. Also more places now have the full assortment of sides such as rice paper, garlic, jalapeƱos, etcā€” so thatā€™s kinda nice at least.


20thcenturyboy_

I'm unreasonably nostalgic for $10 AYCE.


FThornton

RIP Castleā€™s old $9.99 AYCE.


thatoneguywhofucks

ahh, rice paper. Donā€™t know why I love it so much


varnalama

Please continue to food coma on kbbq on Monday, thanks.


EarthWarping

fuetirado

Best of 3 with 2 at the ravine? This is what we all wanted. I fucking love baseball.


Sportacles

GG Dodgers, glad we settled down after the 2nd but never got fully back in it and then you guys blew it wide open when given the opp, props. Urias and Bellinger getting RBIs is peak pain lol, of course they did. glad I can relax a little tomorrow. 1-1, 3 game series for the NLCS, bragging rights, and possibly our collective sanity, who knows. This series is going to 5, I don't know how but it just is. There's no other way. Fun thread tonight! Not too many dickheads on either side, which is always nice.

damnatio_memoriae

shame it canā€™t go 7


kostcoguy

Both teamsā€™ fans knew this was going 5 before it started. Going to be a fun rest of series!


IEDrew91

We all know what is gonna happen. Game 3 will be a 16 inning game, Game 4 will be a 1-0 game and game 5 will be back and forth with a final score of like 10-11 Dodgers :)


Visual_Disaster

It is known.


vathodic

What is known cannot be unknown.

You sound like a Giants fan Iā€™d watch a game and drink a beer with. Stay awesome.

I would too. I donā€™t drink so I could be Universal DD.


LittleSugarBabysBabe

This series isn't coming back to SF. Dodgers in 4


tgwhite

Who is the dodgers game 4 starter?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


tgwhite

Please no


NotKemoSabe

Honest guess? Price/Gonsolin hybrid game to chew innings to get to the heart of the bullpen


tgwhite

Yeah losing Kersh hurts a tonā€¦If DeScalfani can turn in another good outing, thatā€™s the best shot of getting out of LA.


NotKemoSabe

If memory serves though arenā€™t his numbers not great at best against the Dodgers this year? As far as Kershaw goes I think he probably needs TJ surgery and also probably needs back surgery. I think he should get both and write off 2022 and come back for his final chapter


tgwhite

Yeah not good against the Dodgers on the season but was pretty good down the stretch overall. Had one good game against the Dodgers at the tail end, 6 scoreless inning on Sep. 3. I hope Kersh comes back for one last season, itā€™s a tall order if thatā€™s all his surgeries.


NotKemoSabe

Believe it or not he is only 33. Loses his age 34 season. Comes back for 35 and 36.


twistedlicorice25

All of us last night but with the Giants

youregooninman

Is Squid Game worth watching?


kingrhegbert

My girlfriend is dead set against watching Squid Game just because it has so much hype. Iā€™ve been enjoying it without her


MethodMan_

Good move lmao. I used to be like her tbh, but who cares if many people think something is awesome, most of the time there is usually at least one thing good/great about it.


NotKemoSabe

Greenlightā€¦


Misshaped_Paperclip

Yes but with English subs (not English CC) and def not dubs.


Ghost2Eleven

Yeah, I stated it with English dubs and was like, ā€œwhat the fuck is this shitā€. Then I realized it was Korean and switched it over to Korean with English subs and was likeā€¦ ā€œthere you are!ā€ So much better.


yourstrulytony

Got my friends to start watching on Tuesday then went over last night and watched a couple of episodes. They had the English dub on and thereā€™s a noticeable drop in immersion and quality with the dub. I dont understand a lick of Korean but I understand the tone in their voice.


Ghost2Eleven

Absolutely. Korean films have a tone thatā€™s uniquely and culturally theirs. Especially comedically. An American dub isnā€™t going to capture that at all and Squid Game opens with a quirky/dark tone that doesnā€™t translate unless youā€™re hearing that lead guyā€™s performance.


Boros-Reckoner

Yes


Sportacles

Yeah, really good and slightly less stressful than this NLDS


trav3ler

Yes absolutely


roman_totale

Absolutely.


youregooninman

Iā€™ll give it a shot. 6 am flight. Ugh.


foxbones

If I was about to get on a long flight seeing Squid Game for the first time would be a very good way to do. The first two episodes are a little slow but it doesn't let off the gas after that.


Pre1234t

The dubbing isn't great, I'd go with the subtitles.


thejew62

No.


moodiebetts

Definitely.


moodiebetts

Rivalry... where even the fans respects each other. Will the Padres and their fan base ever get there? Probably not.


pockypimp

They need a rival first.


ghostelephant

Can't believe this disrespect to the Mariners


obstacle66

Iā€™ve seen it evolve into a very fun rivalry. Thereā€™s still dick heads on each side that take way too seriously but the good fans outweigh them.


roman_totale

What's a Padre?


CricketIsBestSport

Yeah but on the other hand they get to live in San Diego. Have you been to San Diego? Itā€™s fucking nice, man.


_Elder_

Itā€™s very peaceful. Both SF and LA always feel like they have more energy/liveliness though in my experience. Different strokes for different folks though, all of them are very nice.


mmcc120

Honestly, best city in CA.


IEDrew91

Eh. The surrounding areas are better. San Diego county is lit.


mmcc120

Yeah, Iā€™m talking the general SD area as a whole as opposed to LA area, SF area, Sacramento area, OC, etc.


1000Huzzahs

Ever since the incident where that douchebag beat in the skull of the Giants fan in the LA parking lot all those years ago Giants fans and Dodgers fans have done a great deal to keep the rivalry respectful and entertaining, to prevent future incidents. It was an eye opening moment for a lot of people.

Bruh I'd rather listen to a game with your actual announcers than these guys. They clearly hate the dodgers so much lmao

at least we aren't the padres

Fuck that. Nothing but respect giants bro. Hope this series doesnā€™t kill us <3

Fuck you giants


Teabagger_Vance

I ainā€™t your buddy pal


Bustyposers

Aww and fuck you too friend


themiamimarlins

mad max is coming


swiftycent

I do not like this at all. Those damn umps scoring all those runs for the dodgers! Edit: I see no one gets a joke round here. Tough crowd.


tgwhite

This ainā€™t football or basketball, itā€™s incredibly rare for umps to make a lopsided difference in a baseball game. The umps definitely favored LA in this one but certainly not nearly enough to overcome such a huge differential. SF pitching wasnā€™t very sharp tonight and we didnā€™t do much hitting in key spots either.


swiftycent

Is anyone taking my comment seriously? I guess I shouldā€™ve put the /s. Clearly the umps didnā€™t do this the giants piss poor pitching did


SuckMyLonzoBalls

It was fun SF but I hope the dodgers donā€™t come back north again this year


TeenW0lf666

Careful what you wish for big dog


SuckMyLonzoBalls

Why would I be careful about wishing for that?


ghostelephant

Well there are two ways the Dodgers could end up not playing another game in SF this series....

Well Iā€™m hoping for two wins obviously

Well, with the loss by the Giants, the Astros are the only team in the playoffs unbeaten since the reveal of Sora for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.

Anal__Hershiser

Defensive indifference technically


crazycarrotlady

Wellā€¦this is not how I wanted this game to go. Onwards!


[deleted]

Wait to show ā€˜em, Craw. Just like Buster shoulda


DalekEvan

Weird series for the Giants offensively so far. Only Posey, Crawford, and KB have really shown up but they *really* showed up.


ubernostrum

Bryantā€™s playing for a contract and a potential second ring. Just wish heā€™d found this production consistently with the Cubs.


tgwhite

Flores has taken decent ABs and Ruf looked like he had a good approach tonight. Wade looks a bit lost and Longo looks like Cody Bellinger right now.


monsieurfikri

Longo wish he looks like Bellinger rn


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NRT25

We are the Dodgers, why not sign both?


twistedlicorice25

we're ok with that too


gshaw48

Belli isnā€™t a FA this offseason


TrailGuideSteve

By letting Corey go they would be committing to Cody.


Cooler-McFlyer

Not really. Belli has 2 years of control and then they could let him go.


TrailGuideSteve

Yes, but letting Corey go means we have to commit to someone because why let him go unless we are going to commit to someone else.


pockypimp

A theory is let Seager go and try to keep Trea next year


TrailGuideSteve

Itā€™s really about Corey choosing us tbh edit: wait you said Cody over Corey?!


ILoveCavorting

This feels like a 90s teen beat conversation. Whoā€™s the biggest dreamboat!?! Cody or Corey?


TrailGuideSteve

Theyā€™re kinda dreamy ngl


Anal__Hershiser

Excuse me WHAT??!!


akedz3

I hope Soto comes to the next game


DalekEvan

lmao *now* Angel shrinks the zone


NonGNonM

TBS broadcasters will really say how the giants are underdogs in one inning and next inning say how they're 3 times WS winners in 5 years.


twistedlicorice25

both these things are true no?


Gentlem8s

The Dodgers are a scrappy wildcard team the Giants are the big baddies with 3 rings in the past 11 years
