Giants are going with "openers"/bullpen games today and tomorrow.

I can't bear to watch.

it was one thing being outscored by the Blue Jays and Braves lineups that are filled with all-stars, but getting outscored by the Mariners and the Giants' lineups is downright embarrassing.

Just listen with your eyes closed, that’s my plan.

Rather than constant mixing and matching, I am ok with giving Rengifo an extended look at SS….Neto is going to be out awhile, Drury seems to have pretty well locked down 2b…why not?  He’ll probably make a bone headed play or two but let’s see what it looks like for more than a few games….if he is just awful defensively, we can all watch Velasquez bunt….

Thank you Arte Moreno.

I expect Giolito to dominate now that we’re 8 out… and by dominate I mean go 7 and give up 1 and lose 4-2 after the bullpen is done.

Go Halos!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!!

THE SKID GOES ON, THE SKID GOES ON.  JUST LIKE A HAMMER ON THE BRAIN.

LA-DI DA-DI DEE LA-DI DA-DI DAH.

That's some bad company the 2023 Angels are in danger of joining.  It looks like the Angels are good at blowing up someone's individual accomplishments.

Poor Sam.

Update on Rendon: he's alive. 

That's all we're privileged to know.

[eligrba4ever]

Will the Angels have a lead tonight after the Giants' 27th out?

[fan_since79]

The leadoff double is scored!

Gotta like that.

[fan_since79]

Giants opener is not quite ready to pitch.

[Revad]

If we don’t walk anyone we have a chance.

Thank goodness! now tell these Mutherfucker to not stop!

Nice double by Rengifo, single by Ohtani to score a run. Another base hit for 3 in a row.

I hope this is not going to be one of those games where we score early then the offense goes cold the rest of the game?

And a pitching change in the first inning? Good goddamn grief...

[Revad]

Ha ha ha

[Amazing Larry]

Nice start!
