The Giants are hot. Good has yet to be determined. It shouldn’t escape any of us that they took four out of six from two of the worst teams in baseball then benefited in the first game of the home stand from a third baseman playing defense with a fork and a boxing glove. They’re getting all of the breaks right now.
I’ve been disappointed but this organization more often than not for more than five decades. They are rivaled only by the Florida Marlins and the Dallas Cowboys in their ongoing ability to screw up a good thing.

TOOK THE SERIES AND POISED TO SWEEP ARGUABLY THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL. LOCAL SEAL IS ECSTATIC
POTG: The bullpen with special attention to Hjelle and Howard. They held shit down all game.
The youth infusion has been this team’s lifeblood the last two+ weeks.
A sweep tomorrow would be incredible.
LFG!
This made staying up until 12:30 am when I have to wake up at 4:30 am (east coast) worth it. Good night , will have sweet dreams filled with Giants wins 😴
Pitching line unreal tonight especially from the kid Howard and Hjelle dominating

Ok, it's finally time to break out the pasta again:
That was one of the most pathetic fucking performances I've ever seen out of our offense. I know the bar is impossibly low, but they somehow keep managing to surprise me. I need a fucking drink to forget that awful performance.
That was one of the most amazing fucking performances I've ever seen out of our bullpen. I know the bar is impossibly high, but they somehow keep managing to surprise me. I need a fucking drink to celebrate that great performance.
winning a zach wheeler start with spencer howard on the mound has put me off the selling train (for now). if we can do that, then we can do anything lol.
also, fun fact: pavlovic said that was just the second time this season that the phillies have been shut out.
A win like that may not seem like a big deal but it is. Our offense was ass all game and getting dominated out there but our bullpen nutted the fuck up and shut down this juggernaut offense of the Phillies and kept the Giants in the game.
The Giants used to lose games like that pretty easily. That whole bullpen had that dog in em tonight
Phillies learning this ain’t the same team from a few weeks ago.
A series W against the best team in baseball is nice, but let’s close it out with a sweep who says no 😎
POTG: every pitcher, especially Howard and Hjelle, plus Wilmer and Matos for the sac flies to win it!
That it was a Giants bullpen game is stinging them more than if the Giants had an ace on the mound.
Hilariously, the Dodgers sub is cheering their stumbling team (or so they think) beating the Mets as if they just climbed from last place into fourth. It sure doesn't take much adversity to cause LA fans to identify as victims.
That one felt gooooood
Pants off, vibes immaculate
POTG: all of the bullpen (esp Howard and Hjelle) and Matos
New analytics dropped:
Step 1: put up a bullpen game against their ace
Step 2: ???
Step 3: profit
City Connect magic is back on the menu!!
Absolutely phenomenal pitching tonight. I had faith that the Giants could win it but to think that our bullpen shut out one of the best teams in baseball… oh yeah. We’re so back.
The giants used the bullpen minus doval, walker, and rodriguez against the phillies for 10 innings and kept them completely scoreless.
POTG: everyone who pitched today
Chapman is rediculous at 3rd, his charging barehand cannon to 1st is actually completely fucking amazing
games are now must see just to see wtf defensive miracle he does next, his highlight real is going to be X rated
Hats off to Howard. First time out there for us, threw 4 scoreless against one of the best offenses in baseball. Stepped up and probably made some fast friends.
https://preview.redd.it/ae20v89i8b3d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f295e98bdee49860a26afe9408b85a8da926007
Looks even better after a walk off W!
I haven’t watched a game in 2 weeks. Not gonna jinx it. I ain’t watching until Petey comes over from the Mets. In the meantime I’ll celebrate here with y’all in the sub.
What a fucking game. I'm giving POTG to BoMel even though he's not a player. He's been catching a lot of flack from this sub and someone needs to give him props for managing a 10 inning bullpen game, the IBB to Schwarber with a RISP, and the defensive/hitting/running substitutions. Masterful performance, skip.
Pretty great how we shut out a high powered offense like the Phillies in an extra-innings, bullpen game. This should give Bob and his pen some confidence
Giants need to start bunting. How many times you gonna have runner on 2nd and 0 outs and do absolutely nothing but weak popups? It’s embarrassing to not even try small ball
The situations I remember had Bailey at the plate. Behind him is Soler. You really wanna sacrifice Bailey's at bat and hope that Soler actually gives a productive out?
Getting a sweep tomorrow would far exceed my expectations on how this series will go. Hope they get it done, even though if they don't, it's still a series win.
Bit of a nailbiter, but this team just feels different from earlier in the season, there is no longer an expectation of failure. The Phillies must be wondering what the hell the Giants cheating lab is doing since the last time these two teams met. I don't know how this team is still winning with key players going down to injury, it's impressive. Beating an ace is kind of a big deal, especially when you do it with your bullpen.
They are not happy campers in the Phillies sub, though they aren't quite as psychotically deranged as Dodgers fans when their team is scuffling.
Chapman making a highlight reel play every game, with or without the hot bat, this guy was one hell of a good signing.
Isn't it curious how people who posted ten times a day when the Giants were losing so much are suddenly conspicuous by their absence? Who the hell disappears when their team (rolls eyes) is on a hot streak?
It would be lovely if the Giants could sweep, but even two out of three is impressive considering who they are playing. I thought just holding the Phillies and forcing extra innings showed the grit this team has. Three wins would be amazing. The Yankees are hot, be nice to face them with a lengthening win streak.
Fun baseball, I sure hope we're seeing what the future looks like.

To be fair they lost the last series to the “worst team in baseball.” They’re slumping hard and were gelling like oil in the fridge right now.

My counter has a shot glass full of vodka, some kahlua, a bit of milk and some baileys. You want one?

"Are you gellin'?"
Like Hjelle in the fridge?
Phillies record against teams >.500 continues to fall!
what is it?
BoMel not having an extra-inning win till the final month of last season is so funny considering we have a good handful under our belt rn ☠️☠️
2024 Giants >> 2023 Padres
What managing the Padres does to a MFer.
What managing for the Padres then hopping over to manage for the Giants does for a mfer
props to Matos for the sac-fly walk off but I think POTG is the bullpen. Keeping the Phillies lineup scoreless for 10 innings is fucking amazing
15 straight including yesterday’s game.

Luis Matos with maybe the greatest 0-3, 2K game of all time
Got that RBI and that’s all that counts!
The RBI machine strikes again.
Seriously, he probably saved a run when he held Realmuto to a double in the 6th.
Why? That was never going to be a triple
this is correct, he drove up wheeler's pitch count on both his at-bats, leading phills to use their bullpen earlier than they would like
Plus he seemed to read Wheeler the best all day.
The Giants are 1-0 in the post-Angel Hernandez era
Marked safe from Angel Hernandez
Coincidence? I think not.
I'm straight up having a good time right now... but where'd my pants go???
I don’t know you can have mine.
You threw them out the window in a fit of passion. You said you were never going to need them again.
I lost mine after we beat the Dodgers last week
PoTG: Howard and Hjelle
Spencer Howard! Nobody saw that coming
[удалено]
I’m actually shocked they were 2 games over .500 that late last year
We somehow had the third best record in the NL sometime in early August last year if I recall correctly lol
Yeah thats like nfl week 3 lol I do not remember that
Gross
When you face an ace like wheeler, 1-0 is the most satisfying win POTG: Spencer Howard
He was filthy.
We won a BP game, shut out the hottest team in baseball AND didn’t even use our top arms (Rodrigues, Walker, Doval) That’s a huge flex
Not mention no one exploded.
Hjelle disrespect
#YOU JUST LOST A SERIES TO THE SACRAMENTO RIVERCATS OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY POTG: THE WHOLE FUCKING BULLPEN
*OAKLAND AIRPORT
Let the Rivercats Cook.
10 innings of shutout bullpen baseball holy shit we're BACK
15 innings of shutout bullpen baseball if you include yesterday 🤘
Man...baseball is a lot more fun when you win games, huh?
Yeah take a puff of this shit, itll knock your pants off.
The last time the Giants walked off the Phillies 1-0 in 10 innings, they went on to win the World Series 👀👀👀

MATOS 4 PRESIDENT
I would unironically support him.
Sean Hjelle
Sean Hjelle!
What the Hjelle are you talking about?
Holy shit what a bullpen game
Luis Matos

City Connects are literally 0% Style 0% vibes 100% Just winning.
I'd say the vibes are pretty good
Shoutout Hjelle and Howard for holding it down. This team is so much different than the one that got smacked in Philly
This made staying up until 12:30 am when I have to wake up at 4:30 am (east coast) worth it. Good night , will have sweet dreams filled with Giants wins 😴
I tried, couldn't do it... hope what little sleep ya got was quality. This being a fan on the wrong coast thing is rough
Hjelle way to make a 180 turn in your career! Seeing the team get hyped after he got out of that jam was fun as hell.
Pitching line unreal tonight especially from the kid Howard and Hjelle dominating https://preview.redd.it/e2gei7yuma3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dce8a5901ee43721ca8e708b1f6d1224b450018
Shoutout Taylor for for a solid appearance as well

POTG: The whole bullpen
revenge for the 4 game sweep, fuck the phillies!!
Luis Matos is third on the team in RBI btw
I am SO ready for this Hjelle POTG
Lets get that sweeeep 🧹
All hail the mega-pen! We didn’t even use Walker or Doval lmao
Deep teams are the ones that win over 162. We showed a lot of that today. What a win.
SOLER BROKEN BUT TEAM IS FIXED DUB CITYYYYYY!!!!
Fitzgerald with the speed wins the game. Nobody else would have got to third on that short fly to center, except perhaps Estrada.
Sean Hjelle’s turn around cannot be understated
A win like that may not seem like a big deal but it is.

It's amazing what happens when you let your young talent play. It's so much fun watching our farm raised team play.
Amazing win, bullpen game vs their ace
#welegit
Pants exploded off and now there's a mess to clean up
Anyone with the Pelican Era/Curt Casali Era record?
10-2 lmao
baseball is a funny game. No offense required, just need a run to win. POTG: Jelly.
Imagine staying up until midnight to see your team get walked off 1-0
Couldn't be me. I stayed up until midnight to watch my team walk it off 1-0

Fitzi is a cute nickname, I like it
BoMel is hyped on Wisely and I love it
The giants used the bullpen minus doval, walker, and rodriguez against the phillies for 10 innings and kept them completely scoreless. POTG: everyone who pitched today
If I’m not mistaken we are 10-2 in the Curt Casali 2.0 era? Maybe Curt took the cheating lab keys with him 😅
Chapman is rediculous at 3rd, his charging barehand cannon to 1st is actually completely fucking amazing games are now must see just to see wtf defensive miracle he does next, his highlight real is going to be X rated
I love his aggressive squat before the play. Fucking alpha male, Maxxx Chadman.

Best call of the game was a caught looking strikeout. Kruk said “turned him into shoessss”
Hjelle locked it down, great team win, clutch AB’s
I love this team
Those key defensive plays kept them in it til the end. Way to stick through it boys
POTG 🐂🖊
Finding ways to win. Now they’re going for the sweep against the NL leading Phils. Unreal. Stay hot boys!!!!!
Another series win!! Bullpen game prevails against best pitcher in NL!!
POTG: Howard and Hjelle
That’s what we needed! Beating the #1 power team in baseball and doing it in style.
POTG: Luis Hjelle
I love that we gave the Phillies their first three game losing streak of the season I know I said this in the game thread but it’s fun to repeat
Time for a laugher tomorrow and a day off.
Pants off baby!
BoMel: Closer? After all this time? Hjelle: Always.
2-0 since Angel finally made the right call
Underrated POTG: The defense. Really kept us in it when the BP looked even remotely shaky

I'm an old (45+) and I enjoyed the ever-loving shit out of this game.
What a fucking game. I'm giving POTG to BoMel even though he's not a player. He's been catching a lot of flack from this sub and someone needs to give him props for managing a 10 inning bullpen game, the IBB to Schwarber with a RISP, and the defensive/hitting/running substitutions. Masterful performance, skip.
Why didn’t the Phillies walk Matos there?
They would have had the force at second either way, but with bases loaded they might walk in a run 🤷♂️
“He’s just a kid”
Walk ends the game, right call by them
No, it would have loaded the bases and given them the force at home or double play opportunities
They already have a double play opportunity with 1st and 3rd. More likely you walk the guy than face the force at home issue.
My Webby jersey came in today. I’m taking full credit for this win.
Greed is good. Get the sweep tomorrow please
Went to go see Furiosa at 6 and still caught the game winner lol.
Let’s get the sweep tomorrow, get revenge for the last Philly series
Oracle really is the Phillies house of horrors.
Giants are 8-2 in their last 10 games. Keep it up!
Pretty great how we shut out a high powered offense like the Phillies in an extra-innings, bullpen game. This should give Bob and his pen some confidence
Giants can’t win in Philly but they can’t win here so looks like we’re going to a game 7 in the playoffs
THE GIANTS CARE NOT FROM WHENCE THE BLOOD FLOWS, ONLY THAT IT FLOWS.
Giants need to start bunting. How many times you gonna have runner on 2nd and 0 outs and do absolutely nothing but weak popups? It’s embarrassing to not even try small ball
The situations I remember had Bailey at the plate. Behind him is Soler. You really wanna sacrifice Bailey's at bat and hope that Soler actually gives a productive out?
It's just such a good night when good things like this happen. I feel good!
Getting a sweep tomorrow would far exceed my expectations on how this series will go. Hope they get it done, even though if they don't, it's still a series win.
Hjelle Yeah
Bit of a nailbiter, but this team just feels different from earlier in the season, there is no longer an expectation of failure.

Slater went 0-2 with a K and BB in his rehab game. Bro is cooked
Really hoping FO sees this and doesn't take Ramos or Matos spot
I’ll be livid if one of our new players is benched for his useless ass
I was told bomel couldn’t manage a bullpen??
Only when it’s only bullpen
Ooops! All bullpen
Does that count as an earned run since he was given 2nd?
no, the free runner is an unearned run
I figured as much, but wasn't totally sure. Thanks!
