  1. Pop out, fly out, ground out. So went the bottom of the 9th, the nemesis of the 2026 Giants.

    2-1 Astros, final.

  3. Reiver Sanmartin just threw a video game inning. They couldn't pick up his pitches. In OOTP, on a 1-100 scale, he was an 80 50 10 out there. Wild has heck at times, but the batters swung away.

    On to the bottom of the 9th, still 2-1 Astros over the Giants.

  5. Basabe didn't challenge strike 1, the 2nd pitch of his AB, which was ball 2 (high), and proceeded to strike out on a pitch in the dirt in the other batter's box.

    On to the 9th. When it's the Giants turn, once again it will be the bottom of the batting order trying to get on base.

  7. Down 2-1 to Houston, SF heads into the bottom half of the 8th inning needing guys to get on base.

  9. Bericoto singled home Devers in the 1st inning for the only run of the game so far.

    Houser has pitched 2 perfect innings, with 2 K's.

    1-0 Giants over Astros in the 2nd, Giants batting with 2 on, 0 outs. Who are these guys?

    The Giants beat the #Astros 1-4 yesterday & looking at the box score the starter & bullpen did a good job of actually pitching (giving up only 5 hits & 1 run on 138 pitches combined) & the hitters did just enough to score enough runs (4 on 9 hits including 1 HR) to win the game.

    Nice to see the Giants actually play like a MLB team. The only issues that that jumped out to me from the box score were the 8Ks out of 33ABs & the 2-13 RISP but there's nothing new about these things with this team. 🤷‍♂️

  13. While I was away, the Giants, once tied at 1 with the Astros, scored 3 more runs to win today's game, 4-1. I'm as surprised as the rest of you. Whisenhunt got the win, Brubaker the save. Eldridge clobbered his 12rh HR, a solo shot. Adames collected his 25th double of the season.

  19. #RedSox starter is Patrick Jordan Sandoval, 29, from Mission Viejo, California. Listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds. Was an 11th-round pick for #Astros in 2011 #MLB Draft. Made his big league debut in 2019 with #Angels.

  21. Strikeout, ground out, ground out. Left fielder Grant McCray, who had to bat - the bench was infielders and a catcher - is now batting .081. The team chokes in late innings. Pitchers can't find the strike zone. Batters swing and miss at batting cage-speed pitches. It's mostly in their heads, but with all of the echoing in there from fans, it's hard for them to sort it out.

    Starter Blake Tidwell pitched very well. Their defense was fine. The bullpen is not doing its part at the end of games, and the batters try too hard to make up for it.

    Astros 6 Giants 3, final.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  22. Foley pitching, he threw a WP to move the designated runner at 2nd to 3rd. Then he walked a batter. Then he gave up a single, scoring Cam Smith.

    This was the good part of the inning.

    It's 6-3 Astros in the top of the 10th, with only 1 out. Altuve batting.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  23. Fly out, ground out, strikeout. Heading to extra innings, tied at 3.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  24. If they win this thing, Drew Gilbert is player of the game. Just tracked down a potential double for out 2 with a pinch runner at 1st.

    2 strikes in, Dylan Smith threw a WP, advancing Nick Allen to 2nd. Nick Smith scored on a 1B, Cam Smith (the batter) tried to stretch it to a double, got thrown out at 2nd.

    Tied at 3, heading to the bottom of the 9th. Basabe, Gilbert, and Cavenaugh are scheduled to bat.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  25. Dylan Smith is today's Designated Closer for the Giants, up 3-2, heading to the top of the 9th. Trammell, Walker, and Varsho are the scheduled first 3 batters.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  26. Sam Hentges got Yordan Alvarez to fly out to LF for the 1st out. Keaton Winn replaced him, and took care of the next 2 batters.

    3-2 Giants heading to the bottom of the 8th.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  27. Drew Gilbert has had enough of this nonsense, and slammed a HR to RCF to take the lead with 1 out.

    Giants 3 Astros 2, bottom of the 7th.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  28. Sam Hentges did a great job. A pop out to 1st, and a K to end the threat, leaving a runner stranded. 7th inning stretch time, game tied at 2.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  29. Cam Smith just tied the game by crushing a 114 MPH blast to LF. What's in the water in SF?

    Giants 2 Astros 2, 1 out, Sam Hentges is replacing JT Brubaker, who gave up a walk and a HR in 2/3 of an inning of work.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  30. JT Brubaker walked the bases loaded, then took Christian Walker to a pretty wild full count before inducing a ground out.

    Giants 2 Astros 1, bottom of the 6th now.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  31. Blake Tidwell struck out Jose Altuve, the 2nd out of the 6th inning, but with 2 on, and Tidwell missing the plate a bit, he's headed for the showers. JT Brubaker is coming into the game in relief.

    Giants 2 Astros 1

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  32. Yordan Alvarez got a base hit on a line drive to RF - the exit velocity was 118.5, the 2nd highest exit velocity of a batted ball in MLB this year. He also holds #3.

    Blake Tidwell is 88 pitches into the game, and the pitching coach is out to chat. JT Brubaker is in the bullpen.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  33. After Grant McCray slammed a 107 MPH line drive out to the warning track in CF, and with 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th, Jung Hoo Lee clubbed a HR to RF with less ball speed than Grant's out.

    The announce team is very sympathetic to Grant's struggles at the plate. Hitting it hard, but getting not much to show for it yet. Batting .086 after that out - he's had a lot of those kinds of non-hits.

    To the 6th inning.

    Giants 2 Astros 1

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  34. In the bottom of the 4th inning, Eldridge doubled. Devers walked. Basabe singled, loading the bases. Gilbert SF to LF, scoring Eldridge.

    Giants 1 Astros 1 in the top of the 5th.

    #SFGiants #Astros #MLB

  35. Double, single, SF. That's all of the scoring so far, and it happened in the 1st inning. Heading to the bottom of the 3rd in SF.

  36. Last time out was a no decision for #BlueJays newcomer Jameson Taillon. It came last Wednesday vs #Astros. Allowed 3 runs on 6 hits with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts over 4.0 IP. Threw 80 pitches, 49 for strikes (61.3%).

  37. #RedSox Wilyer Abreu named American League Player of the Week. Ceddanne Rafaela was last week's AL PoTW.

    Abreu earned the same honor just 3 weeks ago, becoming 4th repeat winner in the AL (also #Astros Yordan Alvarez, #Yankees Ben Rice and #Twins Byron Buxton).

  39. Austin Hays and Rob Refsnyder are on the #Astros' radar as Houston looks for right-handed hitting outfield help:

  40. I feel like the time to do this was several days ago? (also I looked up Rob Refsnyder’s numbers this season and I’m not sure his 33 wRC+(!!) is going to help!) #Astros
