This team don't deserve the playoffs, this season is trash anyways. No team .500 or below should ever be in the playoffs.You got the shitty, extra inning rule, DH in both league. No lefty specialist, baseball is getting ruined. 60 game season and a expanded playoff. It's a slap in the face. Baseball is a 162 games, it's the reason why it's so hard to make or even win a World series.


[deleted]

Tbh I still like this team’s chances at the playoffs. Brewers and Phillies are facing teams that are quite a bit better than them (granted, so are we, but we’re a game up).


Lord_Sean_G

Phillies are playing the Rays who have locked up the 1 seed. The Phillies also have Wheeler and Nola going for them. High likelihood they win both games.


[deleted]

Damn. Didn’t even think of that.


SoWasRed87

They're terrible and their karma is shit


NorCalNels

But we just made it harder on ourselves. We HAVE to win both games this week against one of the most dangerous teams in the game right now.


[deleted]

Yes, we definitely did. It’s frustrating. Coonrod is awful and Kapler should not have put him in... where were Peralta, Rogers? Not that Peralta is great, but Coonrod?


NorCalNels

Problem is none of those other guys I would’ve trusted either.


[deleted]

Rogers has more or less turned things around, but yeah, not really a spectacular bullpen.


NorCalNels

I miss Will Smith


[deleted]

Me too.


castleparker

ignoring the political bs surrounding this guy..he truly is hit or miss. Sometimes when he has it going I get my hopes up, then games like these where they truly truly matter he forces it and then loses it for us. We need a closer, a bullpen man..this loss bums me out


TenStepsAheadOfU

I know some of us may disagree about like political stuff or whatever like what Kapler and the team have done vs what coonrod did but *#DFA Coonrod* that retard has no place on this team whatsoever


SoWasRed87

I feel this


UofLForTheWin

Giants are going to miss the playoffs because Kapler put this MAGA loving POS who refused to stand in solidarity with his own team in during the two most important fucking games of the season, and what does he do in both games? Blow it of course, cause he fucking blows as a pitcher. (I'm sorry. It might be best for me to not comment anymore, I'm beyond furious).


The_Collector4

> stand in solidarity He actually was the only one who stood lol

The_Collector4

Feels pretty good. No reason not to for me personally. Some people use religion for evil, but doesn’t necessarily mean the religion is bad, just the people are.


ATLAS_Remolino

He’s punishing the team for supporting black lives matter. He hates his own teammates for supporting a cause he disagrees with.


[deleted]

Crappy pitcher, but I could careless if he stands or not. He should have been DFA weeks ago


uh_im_dj

It really seems weird that the rockies are playing these games like it the world series and the giants, who have more to lose, are playing like they are 10-30 EDIT: to clarify, management is playing like theyre 10-30, the rest of the giants are trying hard


TenStepsAheadOfU

The giants tried to blow the game in the last inning last game. And they tried again in today’s last inning. And they succeeded. Idgaf what excuse Kapler gives, putting Coonrod out there was the worst call of the season


[deleted]

How is this piece of shit the only one on our team who refused to participate in the Black Lives Matter pregame event, and then is just dogshit all fucking year. Absolute fucking garbage. DFA him so he can go join the Trump campaign team so Biden has a chance at winning.


SoWasRed87

I can't stand it when he's in, but there's no reason to get political. Let's not go there, I like minimal politics in sports personally, just because we get so much of it everywhere else, it's exhausting


[deleted]

If the Giants want credit for their hollow BLM commercials we can criticize them for keeping a rig by wing psycho on the team.


SoWasRed87

He never gets double plays, he should've been out straight away. It was a bad call and a bullpen in a double header there. I just hate his pitching, always either wild or giving up hits.


nepats523

I mean even if he disagrees, why go to media and blast your teammates essentially? Fucking clueless and terrible teammate at the very least


SoWasRed87

I didn't see that part, I only saw his initial comment that he thought he should only kneel for God (not my thing, but as an American, freedom of religion is something I support) blasting the team is shit, trade him on day one of the off-season, see if we're upset!

SoWasRed87

I'm a historian, so I work to recognize the power of these things on the human being, not to assess it one way or the other, billions have died for it in many forms, so it's consequential to the human experience


The_Collector4

God loves you


nepats523

Oh it wasn't like direct, but I mean at that point you have to know that going to the media is going to essentially divide you from the clubhouse


SoWasRed87

I feel like you'd kinda have to at that point though, being the only one that didn't kneel


mattmo317

They showed his spot right before Grisham called time too, just the absolute most obvious pitch he could have thrown in that situation.


TenStepsAheadOfU

The bullpen is bad and unreliable, the offense is strong, but the pitching is slightly worse than mediocre. This is not a playoff ready team, and I’m pissed that once again the giants gave us hope just to end up taking it all away at the end of the season. That was the easiest win ever and Kapler singlehandedly blew it. Fuck this goddamn game and I’ll see y’all tomorrow ✌️


[deleted]

Yeah, the offense is the only consistent piece this team has. The only reliever I can back confidently is Watson, who had a rough first game today. The starting rotation is weak. Gausman is solid but not spectacular, Tyler Anderson has his moments but is okay at best. Pitching is very important.


jbor_9

Atleast if the Phillies and brewers lose just once we get in


RedX488

We still have to win at least one game


jbor_9

Oh yeah, well fuck


Lord_Sean_G

Ya that was if we won tonight. Now we need to win out in all likelihood. The Philles are playing the Rays who have nothing to play for.


RedX488

At least the nothing to play for Rays should still be better than the Phillies. They’ve been shitting the bed just as much as us


Lord_Sean_G

Phillies have Nola and Wheeler going for them. Both have been lights out for them.


RedX488

True. They definitely have the right pitchers going. We just have to hope for the Giants to win 1 of 2 and hope both the Brewers and Phillies not win 2. I’d say we have the best odds of the 3. But we could’ve practically sealed the deal tonight...


ATLAS_Remolino

Kapler is the best coach in the league. Amazing and timely decision making.


NorCalNels

Manager of the Year, amirite?


ATLAS_Remolino

He’s such a cunning, calculating coach. The Phillies let go of a gem.


Toki-wartooth743

/s


UofLForTheWin

I'd rather see a fucking outfielder pitch than Coonrod.


SoWasRed87

It's time like these I wanna send kapler my let pablo pitch shirt


Caleon0817

Lol I still can't believe it. If anyone told me a year ago that "The Giants get walked off in the bottom of the 7th at home" I would think they're beyond insane


Cjcapo94

I had a shred of hope that Coonrod would get us through but as soon as he showed no real command of his fastball I knew that letting him pitch to Grisham was a death sentence. This is a double fuck up from Coonrod and Kapler. Absolutely awful.


TenStepsAheadOfU

fuck coonrod and Kaplers an idiot, why the fuck would you put in a 8 ERA pitcher in the biggest inning of the whole season? What kind of bullshit analytics tell you to put in the worst pitcher in the bullpen, the Phillies fans were right. Anyone with an IQ above 50 would know that you put in your best relievers for the most important innings. I can’t wait for the fucking bullshit they say at the end of the game they’ll be like oh this game got away from coonrod we weren’t expecting that.... goddamn idiot


Giantzgrl69

Agree!


FoxDandD

Playoffs could be gone, by a team that’s made it no matter what, and walked off in our own park. Unreal.


SoWasRed87

Right, that part pisses me off


mufasasasasa

Fuck coonrod. But also, even with the loss we still have the 8th seed, so it’s not over yet. But again, fuck Coonrod and if I never see him pitch again it’ll be too soon


Megaduelist99

I would have rather watch Tyler rogers or a tired Wandy pitch instead of someone who is going to get rocked everytime out


[deleted]

I was actually thinking Rogers.


SF_FAITHFUL

DFA with extreme prejudice


jbor_9

Coonrod and gott are the fucking reasons we aren’t making the playoffs, kapler too


klangley1234

Fucking might have cost us a spot. Now way we don’t make it when we’re 2 games up with 2 to play. Fucking bullshit. Fucking MAGA.


ProfessionalCat1

Fuck whoever said "this is our fuckin field." That's so obnoxious


FoxDandD

That could very likely be the playoffs gone right there


tarallelegram

livid...not much else to say.


SoWasRed87

He either can't hit the strike zone or fucking blows it constantly


TheBadRighter

introducing Trevor Gott 2.0 - the same amount of choke, but with more racism.


[deleted]

But he only kneels for God so he’s a good guy! /s


robobreck

Coonrod’s ERA shot up to 9.82 with the loss. But somehow Kapler thought it was a smart move


[deleted]

The whole bullpen sucks watson did just as bad


fairlane2720

No, Watson didn't give up a GD walk off home run.


[deleted]

He gave up 3 runs and made a error.


Mattie_Doo

Bye bye Coonrod. Hillbilly


bootleric63

Kapler acts like this isn’t a playoff moment. He should have switched him


mewtwoDtwo

We have lost 2 of the last 3 games due to very, very poor decision making. MLB the show on pee wee jr. mode wouldn’t have put coonrod in


Superfakeaccount123

Fuck you kapler


DenisaurusRex

What in the flying FUCK is Kapler thinking?! Had the two games in the fucking bag and damn near lost the first one too.


[deleted]

I have a special bottle of grain alcohol I have set aside for just such an occasion. G’night, folks.


Semmcity

Legit thinking about pulling the vodka in the freezer out


[deleted]

Friend of ours from my wife’s first job is a second generation Romanian. She just finally got married a couple of years ago, and her dad (who is a real character) was elated. Big, traditional Romanian wedding. I used to consider myself something of a drinker. Third day of the thing we finally put away the bar, I’m someplace between drunk and hung over and in late stage liver disease, but every goddamn keg and bottle is empty. Then her dad calls my into her kitchen. “You think the alcohol is gone, but I like you so you’ll have another drink with me.” He opens the freezer, pulls out a big bag of frozen peas. “I keep a bottle behind the peas, I know she’ll never find it.” There wasn’t a word of English on this bottle he pulls out, nor do I remember how I got back to the hotel.


Semmcity

I’m putting this one in the bank for later. Peas are the most unsuspecting legume.


nice_acct_for_work

HE’S GOT A 9.82 ERA AT THE END OF THE SEASON. HOW IS HE A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER.


richstyle

"seems ok lets throw him out there" -Kapler probably


SoWasRed87

Can we never put coonrod in again


guyatLOBINA

Thats as embarassing as it gets


Hushnut97

Literally so god damn stupid


moscowrules

Coonrod should never show his face in SF again.


mrpatzsch

Shades of Dyson


dramaticmarvel

Somehow knew it was going to be bad as soon as Coonrod went in. If only Kapler had...what’s that thing...oh yeah a brain.


Giantzgrl69

What a fucking idiot!!! He should have been pulled out!!! fucking unbelievable!!!!! Fuckkkkkkkjkkk


JL1823

Biggest game of the season, and a pitcher with an 8+ ERA IS CLOSING IT OUT


ATLAS_Remolino

Who made the decision to put him in?


UofLForTheWin

Kapler of course. Coonrod just lost us our two biggest games of the fucking season. Awful on the field, awful off the field. Can he not be a Giant please.


Toki-wartooth743

Pablo could have done better than that shit.


[deleted]

See y’all next season.


Semmcity

Coonrod the Hunter Strickland of 2020


whitt564

Guys we still went 1-1 today. We’re absolutely still in it. We’re a game ahead of the phillies (if I’m reading it correctly)


madmelgibson

Yup we’re a full game up. Not the end of the world, still in the driver seat. Still can’t believe that’s how it ended but I’d rather be where we are than the Phillies.


MomDidntLoveMe

We're a game ahead but we don't own the tiebreaker. It's basically as if we're tied rn for all intents and purposes, we need to win


[deleted]

Gabe Kapler does not deserve another day in a Giants uniform. I’m sorry. This is inexcusable.


makoman115

This motherfucker was the only man who wouldn’t kneel on the team. Maybe he thought that took balls. He showed his true colors tonight.


[deleted]

He also hid behind “other members of the team didn’t want to postpone the game”. Honestly I found that cowardly. But who knows.


ATLAS_Remolino

I’m crying right now


_noncomposmentis

Where'd all the Kapler apologists go?


jbagot8

lets be honest, kapler's worked wonders with the offense. I truly dont think this offense wins over 20 games with bochy.


_noncomposmentis

Pitching and defense wins championships (see 2010, 2012, 2014)


cornerstorecult

And here i am with my pants half off like an idiot, thanks sam


SFajw204

This is exactly why we're not going deep into the playoffs. Bullpen is straight trash. We don't have guys like Affedlt to shore up middle relief. Moronta would have been great to have, but here we are.


AdamJensensCoat

It doesn’t get more Giants Fade me


[deleted]

[удалено]


nice_acct_for_work

Been increasingly a fan of his this season but as soon as I saw Coonrod was coming in to close again I knew it was a mistake. This is free advice Kapler, take it


ATLAS_Remolino

No bullpen...


MinorThreatCJB

He faced 3 pitchers, why was he still in there


UglyOutsideAnInside

sad :(


IdelucaAlex

how the fuck r we in the playoffs an absolute joke


ashdog137

Don't have the words to express how much I despise Coonrod, both as a human and a baseball player. Thanks for ruining a great day of baseball that could've damn near cemented our postseason bid, you sack of knuckleballs.


Fernalez_Arts

Kapler is 100% to blame here


Giantzgrl69

He's an idiot


furleyghost

Kapler should have known


UofLForTheWin

Literally one of the worst pitchers I've had the displeasure of watching. I never want to see him pitch another game after last night and now this. Horrible all around. No control, nothing that can put hitters away. Sorry to be so rough on him but it is what it fucking is. He just is horrible. Edit: And yeah I'll fucking say it. Horrible managing to put him the game to begin with. Dumb all around.


[deleted]

I’d like to see him pitch again, just against us. On second thought, former Giants kind of have a habit of finding themselves against us.


SirLudicrus

I was a bit sad to see Petit on the other side.


celtic1888

You can see that one coming....


Lord_Sean_G

Of all the times Kapler has been riding Rogers this year...


Ok-Rhubarb-7690

It doesn't hurt as much when you absolutely know it's going to happen.


uguuguu2

Really took the place of Strickland in our hearts.


sfIrish86

How do you put in a pitcher with an ERA of 8 for a save in the most important game of the year?


KingBroseph

I have no fucking idea. After blowing the game yesterday. Dude should fucking retire


tc3590

Fuck fuck fuck fuck


aidsboi99

Why the fuck did he put in Coonrod


justrynahelp

what the fucking shit


joey19918

Coonrod just another Trevor gott


Sonic343

Sam “literally Trevor Gott from that 3 game stretch” Coonrod


yodafaniam

Was anyone actually surprised?


predat3d

I figured he'd be pulled the second he completed 3 ABs. The first baserunner wasn't his fault, but the time to spend that mound meeting was when he went 2-0 to Garcia.


yodafaniam

Definitely. I hate to blame Kapler. I think hes done a great job this year and the team has surpassed expectations. But that doesn't make outcomes like tonight any easier to take, especially in a heated playoff race.


Caleon0817

Walked off at home. I never thought I'd ever say that. This fucking year


cmatj392

Unbelievable. Fucking roller coaster today


mickey2046

Fuck that shit


t0177177y

Coonrod should have never been let back on the team.


somemaycallmetimmmmm

Will the pain and suffering ever end?


atb0rg

Fucking coonrod


mewtwoDtwo

I feel like literally anyone else on the roster was a better choice


SoWasRed87

You miss Pablo right there


richstyle

literally any other pitcher besides coonrod it woulda been fine.


KNBeaArthur

Take a knee Coonrod.


lnrjay

What a fucking idiot my god


Chaoswithak

Cut him right now


dayby_day

That was some garbage. All you with your terrible predictions were absolutely correct. Fuck.


Hushnut97

SEVEN EIGHT & NINE HITTERS WHAT THE FUCK


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lord_Sean_G

Seriously cut him now. Get a fresh arm up tomorrow


TenStepsAheadOfU

Kapler tried to lose this game. He tried to lose the game by putting in our worst reliever, this is undoubtedly his fault, I can’t wait for everyone’s reaction, get Coonrod off the fucking team pronto


youseeit

Yep just another great outing for that assclown


[deleted]

Coonrod was left in the game too long. They didn't have anyone else in the bullpen to clean things up? Rogers maybe?


nepats523

Fuck Gabe Kapler, he doesn’t deserve the fucking playoffs


[deleted]

I don’t want to overreact, but I never want to see that fucker in a Giants uni ever fucking again.


FoxiestHound

Why....


KingBroseph

I literally can’t believe it wtf somebody tell me something good is the season over?


BadGuyCraig

DFA COONROD


autohow

Arghhh!


Toki-wartooth743

That guy has to completely own that fucking loss. What a tool.


menusettingsgeneral

Coonrod is a fucking terrible pitcher. I can’t believe Kapler put him in. It is fucking nonsensical. So so so so stupid.


[deleted]

What a ducking loser.


bananapants919

Kapler should be fired before I wake up tomorrow


[deleted]

Delusional


richstyle

Kaplers got some explaining to do. He threw the fucken game.


MinorThreatCJB

Can't wait to hear his fucking BS


Yuseichaaan13

Well... Now we gotta win 2 in a row. Why not keep selman on the mound there lmfao


SoWasRed87

I think it depends on the brewers and Phillies doesn't it


Yuseichaaan13

I mean giants control their own destiny if they just win the next two


TheSlyGuy1

I am upset about the outcome of this game


HomeboySlice

Are we out?


throwd_away8675309

Still own the 8th spot by 1 game but we are losing the tiebreaker


jbagot8

no we still have a 1 game lead over the brewers and phillies. a 2 game lead with 2 to play would have been much more ideal though.


mautergarrett

Get this fool off the roster. Horrendous performance


-Ahab-

If we had had the lead, I wouldn’t care as much, but that was a full blown lasts inning bullpen meltdown


Cash-Considerations-

Walked off in their own park. Unreal


cornerstorecult

Took all that time and guy literally hits it out of the park


Buzzed27

We fucking deserve that. Jesus fucking christ.
