Rolling aging veterans in the twilight of their careers is the new cool: San Francisco Giants in 2018.

How serious is the mad bum thing?

@extrabaggs
Bumgarner having surgery tomorrow to insert pins in fractured pinky knuckle. It will be 4-6 weeks then he has to have pins removed. This is not going to be a short DL stint. But he expects to pitch before the All-Stsr break.

= fucked

jeez thats bad

Sucks. Two seasons of prime madbum lost

Mark Melancon still feels something wrong in his surgically-repaired pitching arm and will not take the mound again before opening day.

RIP 2018

i'm excited, baseball is back

Go Giants!!!!!!!!!

nice win over Kershaw to start the season.

Cueto is pitching tonight, the game is so much better when he is good!

they are playing the game locally in the Los Angeles market. man are the Dodgers broadcaster bad.

i'm probably bias but without Vin, wow.

knee-jerk reaction, unfair and sorry, just not interested in the Dodgers.

6 innings, one hit combined by Giants and Dodgers.

these two games have been so intense

MLB is better with great pitching.

who is this Tony Watson guy?

Panik

wow, baseball

paniiiiiikkkkkkkk

WIN

who are these guys?

its two games but strickland seems to have that little extra stuff

Might go to game on Wednesday

Just drove by Amoeba. No sign of Shakey

i have paid that Amoeba's rent before, man have i spent a lot of time and money there.

still miss living in San Francisco.

Just got to the park. What’s I miss?

What’d

good game to go to.

Cueto is still an Ace1

one thing i figured, he had a off year last year.

Guys behind me mixing up The Residents and The Replacements

how full is that place tonight? can't really tell by TV.

Pretty full

rained out, when does hat happen?

has Van Horn Street totally abandoned us this year?

WOW

welcome Clutch!

beat the bums in the bottom of the 14th after they got a run.

missed all of that for freaking homework.

Roberts took out Kershaw and Posey makes him pay

last night was a sweet game. goldy's dinger was inevitable. love to see McCutchen come through McClutchen again. Longoria will get better but he's an average baseball player at best, hasnt been more than that for a few years now. Giants bats are gonna have to run hot for them to stay afloat til their pitchers come back.

That freaking Hedges play. I swear the Giants find new ways to waste RISPs every game.

yeap, insane but the Padres can make everyone feel better.

The Padres, they are just too good.

that was a sad weekend, only could muster one game out of four.

Pence is just done.

:(

that makes me sad. i hope he picks it back up for at least a while longer, one last time at least.

yeah same. also I wouldn’t be surprised to see him as a coach or manager one day.

Mac Williamson might be the Giants savior this year.

i jinked it

maybe it's 'cause he didn't play today

never bench big mac

Beat LA!

a win last night

and a split today

will take it

three out of four against the bums. great weekend.

baseball sometimes can be fun.

can't beat San Diego these last few years and when they do win it has to be some heroic stuff.

having to live without Bumgarner is hard enough but if they lose Cueto for a bit of time then it is probably over. i don't think they have the starting pitching depth to tread water for a long time.

to be fair, not many teams can compete after they lost their first two starters.

Only lost Cueto for about six weeks, considering the alternative this is great news

'm so depressed right now nothing worse than getting swept in a 4 game series on top of all that setting a franchise strikeout record

Strikeouts have been up for the Giants all year, probably at least partially because the team has embraced the launch angle revolution, but this goes beyond that. We’re well past Tip Your Cap territory. This is Chronicle Feature Story About Alonzo Powell And Rich Schu Staying Up All Night territory.

of course we can't sweep the Reds. at .500 and that is just about right for this team.

to echo Ross tonight.

night ILB.

Pence back as a fourth outfielder

forgot about how bad the matt cain $127.5M 2013-17 extension was

Mays, Marichal & McCovey must be proud to share that wall

hello ILB, it has been a long, long time.

i was supposed to go to tonight's Kershaw vs. Bumgarner game but sadly it's not going to happen. my co-worker, supposedly, lost his wallet over the weekend and said that without ID he couldn't access the tickets. i'm sad as i have never seen either pitcher live before and was really looking forward to going to Dodger Stadium for the first time to see a baseball game.

of course i miss that game.

the Giants vs Dodgers last night turned into a baseball brawl with you guessed it correctly, Puig in the middle of it:

round three tonight and i have lunch on this game!

that's a horrible article and i'm sorry for posting. fuck Bryan Murphy, i miss Grant Brisbee more and more everyday.

and goes into extra's. not sure what i'm doing but no matter it's been a fun three days for this .500 club.

i know i haven't posted on this board for like three months but not even a hi?

ayo bee. dodgers series was really fun. every game had some quality drama.

After Madison Bumgarner hits Ryan Braun with a pitch in a contentious AB, Craig Counsell gets ejected and Jonathan Schoop hits a grand slam

good stuff.

madbum is a weirdo
