2 out of 3 against an Atlanta team that is fighting for their playoff lives, unfortunately the Dodger did the same. still up and in the end of the week and that is all you can hope for at this time of the season.

LaMonte Wade Jr. has now beat the entire NL West in the 9th inning.

7/22 vs Dodgers (tie-breaking two-run single in 5-3 win)

8/5 vs D'backs (game-tying two-run single in 5-4 win)

9/8 vs Rockies (go-ahead two-run single in 7-4 win)

9/21 vs Padres (go-ahead single in 6-5 win)

nice piece on the Giants: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32249806/the-san-francisco-giants-just-keep-surprising-us

not sure of the last time the Giants actually gained ground on the Dodgers, might be when the Giants beat Walker Buehler.

Kazmir, of all people, gave the Giants four shut out innings to start this game, turns out it was enough

sorry, he actually gave up on earned run

Padres officially eliminated from post-season play, wow

Magic Number 6

second three game sweep at Coors this month, with a team that doesn't lose at home. 5-1 road trip, will take it

Magic Number = 5

Magic Number = 4

congrats Bee.

the logan webb game

San Francisco Giants 2021 National League West Champions

i know i'm a pain in the ass board, why i stepped away...

... not at all, baseball is nerve-wracking. here's to hoping they can keep the magic alive. it's an odd numbered year but still

I’m ready for some playoffs

i still don't really know who's on this team but i'm really glad they kept pace through the whole season, it would've sucked if the dodgers caught up with them in the last few days

Nominate Bee OK as the official ILX Giants fan rep

Also holy crap... they DID it. If they can somehow win the NLDS I don't see anyone stopping them from a title

damn this sucks

Buster Posey plans to announce his retirement tomorrow. The end of an era for the Giants.

— Alex Pavlovic (@PavlovicNBCS) November 3, 2021

it sure does but makes sense as he was only playing two and then taking a day

i wish the beat writers would have let Posey break the news himself tomorrow as planned

anyways, Spottie we have been talking about it here: rolling retirees: 2018 and beyond

I am curious how the team will shape up in 2022. so much went right this season that i feel like there is no way they can pull this off again.

Posey Mauer and yadi are all HOFers... we gotta treat these catchers better man

In 5 or 6 years I think there's going to be a lot of talk about the importance of handling a pitching staff well and gamecalling

Buster Posey did a lot of great things during his career, but throwing the ball into Jake Peavy’s glove might just be his finest moment pic.twitter.com/wSgJxtENY0

hero

good stuff in this thread

Giants should have lost this game today as it was sloppy but first day and expected. it was just great to hear Kruk and Kuip with Jon Miller as i guess Dave Flemming is dong the Masters.

Heliot Ramos, who was called up earlier than most anticipated when bullpen arm John Brebbia went on the Bereavement List, started in left field and went 2 for 3 with two singles, a run scored and a strike out. It was a nice debut.

It was no surprise when the San Diego Padres expressed displeasure at Steven Duggar stealing second base with a nine-run lead Tuesday night, or when they were openly hostile to Mauricio Dubon after he laid down a bunt for a hit in the sixth inning, his team still up by nine. That's the way it's always been in baseball.

Major League Baseball for individual players is a game of survival,” said Kapler, a former player himself. “And Mauricio Dubón is depending upon his ability to be successful over a long period of time. He needs to use every tool at his disposal to be successful to stick at the major-league level, to demonstrate his value, to hone his craft. That doesn’t ebb and flow with the score. And it’s not just Mauricio. It’s Steven Duggar on the bases. It’s the pitcher on the mound. Everyone is competing on the baseball field. It doesn’t make any sense to have one part of the field stop competing and the other part keep competing.
