To the ump's defense, you don't expect a catcher to miss a ball that isn't fouled and get hit in the face.

Narrator: No he couldn't.

Somebody tell me how the Giants are doing this. It's like they turned back the clock.

Statistically speaking, this team is worse than that team as of right now. Giving up another 10 runs tonight won't help their case. That 2008 team also didn't strikeout 10 times a game which was nice.

This team is talented, but has a combined IQ of 20 on the diamond. That's what makes them even more infuriating to watch. Watch any Albies AB tonight. Watch Acuna getting thrown out at 3rd in the 9th. Those are the types of dumb plays this team makes multiple times every single night. The bullpen is bad enough that the team doesn't need to hurt themselves with dumb baseball every single night.

Terrible manager, incredibly low IQ team, terrible bullpen. That's why this team is where they are right now, so far below expectations and playing so under their talent level.

Oracle Park is now a hitter's park. Center field is shortened by about ten feet (and across the way), the arcade archways have been closed off and don't create the inward wind tunnel from right field, etc. They are living off the home run, offensively. Buster Posey is healthy and back, and when he's not catching we have Curt Casali who apparently can call shutouts almost every other game.

Their starting pitching has also been phenomenal. Kevin Gausman is having a career year, and starters are simply helping keep a rested bullpen.

I don't think we've faced an incredibly tough schedule so far, either. We've played the Padres and Dodgers when they have been depleted of some of their core players, and the Diamondbacks and Rockies are jokes this year.

I believe his MRI results today came back clean.
