the giants themselves, apparently
Source says @SFGiants expect to be "strategic buyers" before July 31 Deadline. Looking for controllable players, not rentals. Team has no plan to become a seller.— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) July 24, 2018

The Giants are only 5.5 back after losing:#1 SP Bumgarner - 61 games (broken finger, dirt bike crash)#2 SP Cueto - 11 days/2 starts (sprained ankle)#2 SP Cueto - 62 games (sprained elbow)#3 SP Samardzija - 36 games (shoulder stiffness)#3 SP Samardzija - currently on the DL (shoulder stiffness)
That's like 34+ games of minor-league call-ups filling in for the top 3 in their rotation.
If any of those gimps can get it together, the Giants could compete in that terrible division.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 24 July 2018 22:18 (five years ago) link
hanging around .500 with those injuries is way more than any giants fan could have asked for. but there's four competitive teams in that division...
― InfoWarriors (Spottie), Tuesday, 24 July 2018 22:22 (five years ago) link
Also they lost their closer (Melancon - flexor) & set-up man/back-up closer (Strickland - idiot) for most of the season. Who else...? Longoria? Pence (probably a net-positive)... They are basically a half-minor league team.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 24 July 2018 22:55 (five years ago) link
shit's gonna happen when you have one of the oldest teams in baseball. tbh they'd be better off if samardzija had been out the whole year
5.5 back is feasible, but they have three teams in front of them and they're already three games up on their pythag
i don't know where they're gonna get 'controllable players' tho -- they have no prospects to trade and the big leaguers are either untouchable or not very valuable. (maybe tony watson, with the way people are about relievers these days)
it seems churlish to bash them after how very successful they've been, but they seem intent on driving their aging, expensive team off a cliff

Sergio Romo entered the game as a reliever in the 8th and got out of the inning. In the 9th he switched to 3B for one batter, and then shifted back to pitcher to get the save.

He looked safe on all the replays I saw, but it was a mistake to try for third.

maybe I'm just asking cuz I'm bitter right now but if you have a closer whose command is all over the place why don't you have another person warming up, just in case? I've seen so many blown saves that were absolutely telegraphed from the first batter. roll the dice if you must but leaving a guy in when he's missing the strike zone by a foot feels like you're just giving the game away.
