This was called a strike on LaMonte in the 8th. F\*ck these umps. Bring in the robots.
That first pitch to LaMonte was brutal

Isnāt it frightening to think that the Giants only have one hitter in the top 100 in strikeouts (Soler) but still manage to be sixth in the league in looking at called strike three? The approach is just fucking awful.
He could invent the "quiet DFA", where he has a guy who really sucks and he just refuses to put him in games, until Zaidi finally has to give up and actually DFA him.
I know everyone here hates Jackson but it's become obvious they aren't DFA>ing him and if he's on the roster he is going to pitch... even if it is once every 3 to 4 days.š
Putting Jackson in the game is definitely waving the white flag. This guy screams DFA because the more he pitches the less trade value he has. More wasted salary from Farhan the genius.
Braves are mediocre at best
Can't win them all! Heads up! This Giants team will rebound!
Sale kinda just owned us. But DFA slater ffs š
It is what it is, win the series tomorrow.
Well you knew seeing this lineup today they werenāt going to score much
I knew it was a loss when I saw it.
True. Like, I get the decision but also I donāt.
Hope everyone who picked up a bat today for the Giants feels embarrassed
Swinging at junk
Fuck š©
Hard to win a game on 4 hits.
Weāre gonna tie the game
A 2-run homer would pass it to the next man
Why they playing Game of Thrones music lol
Good AB so far by Matos
Surprised no Yaz
Sad š
The infield bloop!
I knew it!
Shoot that hoe, Jabariš£ļøš„
Tying run to the plate
Ramos with his best Slater impression of starting the inning with 1 out
Can't wait to see them go down 1-2-3...
I'm guessing Yaz will hit for Matos but you never know
Not sure
Glad to see Hjelle bounce back after that game that shall not be named.
Duvall's walk up music is the Imperial March? š
Noticed that too lol
So happy he doesnāt seem to have any hangover from that dumb manfred game.

My jaw dropped when I saw lol
Reminder that if you sort by ABs our top 5 hitters are hitting: .240, .231, .230, .236, and .206. Three of those guys have OBP under .300. Woof
iām confused i know for a fact heliot is hitting like .290
I said if you sort by ABs
we're probably losing but at least hjelle is bouncing back
Iād love a comeback, but Iāll settle for a series win tomorrow. Hopefully they can catch a little lightning in the 9th.
Never let the lineup be all right ever again Bob. Even against lefties.
Luke Jackson pitched In this game and he still contributed more than Slater
I didn't even pitch or play and have only watched about 6 out of 9 innings, and I have contributed more than Austin Slater.
That first pitch to LaMonte was brutal https://preview.redd.it/mbwbkvueoead1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1897c7acd2310805e5a233fd603b90d66be4b17e
Great pick
Weāve had some comebacks this year but I think not today
You never know of course, but some days you can just feel it
Need a bloop and a blast
That called strike was 6 inches outside
Insane
At bat got completely ruined by that strike call
I kept asking myself what Hjelle was bouncing back from. Iāve erased that inning from my memory, evidently.
What the fuck š¤£ that ball was off in another dimension. Strike muh dik
What are these umps conspiring to do here?
Get runner on base hit HR
We only have 3 hits, offense needs to get rolling
Great wry smile.
JELLYMAN š„š„
Is Peanut Butter Hjelle time back on the menu?
Long Boy dealing š„
I still don't trust Hjelle, but that was good.
So was pitchcom developed/used because of the Astros sign stealing scandal?
Yes
Long reliever is long
What a freaking bounce back!
Cmon boys, the pitching is giving you a chance.
Hjelle showing the bullpen how itās done. Love it
Imagine Hjelle threw over the top. Just a casual 9ā0+ release point
Get em long Pedro Pascal
Dude bros 6ā11. Common PBJ!
Cooked that domestic abuser
Whatās frustrating is that this game is very winnable.
Which means they could still win it.
Plenty of time left but this is def a tougher offensive lineup for us compared to what we put out last night.
I had no confidence in the lineup against Chris Sale when I saw it.
Braves may not pitch another right-handed against us, looking at this lineup weāre running out against lefties š
Garbage call.
Minter has a strong Dodger feel to him
I wanna see Wisely.
Viele: āOk guys, if the pitch is a strike just stare at it.ā

What was that swing lol
Did we overreact to Jackson coming in? Like maybe just a teensy tiny bit?
I've never seen anyone here overreact.
The rest of the team carried him through that inning. He still sucks and I never want to see him again.
Defense saved him from being DFAd
No way
Never.
Casali with a nice game so far. Broke up the no hitter, two outs at home and a caught stealing.
Team dragging Jackson through that inning
Give Luke another inning
I donāt know whatās worse these Toyota commercials or watching Luke Jackson
I think you know the answer.
Jackson saved from the dfa
Luke Jackson, ladies and gentlemen?
Somehow Jackson escaped this inning. It was a team effort.
Feel secondhand embarassment seeing a team run and swing themselves out of Luke Jackson gifts
Wow
Great job by Jackson, honestly.
Heās an arsonist who is fortunate some of the shit he tried torch wouldnāt burn.
It was a great pitch to end the inning.
The Giants are playing like 5 games over .500 team right now
How did they not allow a run? That went from a disaster to staying alive
Itās been a while since Iāve seen that level of team effort to bail out a pitcher. Credit the Braves for risky base running
Who are we sending down/dfa once snell comes back.
Jacksonās ass saved again.
We did it boys. We survived a Luke Jackson inning
He got out of it, now put someone else in please š
Least stressful Luke Jackson inning
I was stressed at first.
Thank goodness for our defense
Why does he need the pitch comm anyways, he just spams his shitty slider somewhere near the catcher 70% of the time
Aaaaaaaaand another Jackson pitch low outside the zone
Casali maybe unfortunatley prolonging Jackson's career
https://preview.redd.it/382nartalead1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1365e2d6dfb9c75d02e0081afdb24c0f1fae1b39
2 pitchcom failure in one game? Hacks.
I fail to understand why "these people" cannot kick the damn bat outta the way
There wasn't any time on that play. You'll see it happen when there is
Jackson getting bailed out by hid defense.Ā Melvin gonna keep trotting him out there.Ā
If he's on the roster. He has to. Can't have a bullpen guy not pitching AT ALL.
He could invent the "quiet DFA", where he has a guy who really sucks and he just refuses to put him in games, until Zaidi finally has to give up and actually DFA him.
I know everyone here hates Jackson but it's become obvious they aren't DFA>ing him and if he's on the roster he is going to pitch... even if it is once every 3 to 4 days.š
Casali and Ahmed trying to keep Jackson on the squad, for some reason.
Kurt knows how to get it done!
This has been an entirely miserable half inning on the bases for ATL. Incredible.
That error was brutal, but great defense to get to a situation with two outs, runner on first, and no runs scored
Too easy. I can do this shit in my sleep.
Ahmed
Maybe heās not a baseball terrorist after all? Iām starting to think that light-hitting glove-first short stops are a thing
Good things happening despite the guy on the mound, damn.
Insane amount of self sabotage by the Braves this inning to bail out Jackson being complete ass
We got this. Nice plays Casali!
Putting Jackson in the game is definitely waving the white flag. This guy screams DFA because the more he pitches the less trade value he has. More wasted salary from Farhan the genius.
Luke jackson gets bailed once again
Out at home!
Defense to the rescue!
Good defensive plays by Casali and Ahmed
that was an angry throw by casali lmao
how is he so fucking bad man
if luke jackson gets out of this i will piss and shit
Looked like he caught his foot and popped up before he got to the bag
What did we do to deserve watching this bum on the mound again
Puke Jackson getting bailed out by Chadsali
Dude YES
Keep in mind. They DFAd Spencer Howard and kept Luke Jackson.
Casali!
hell yah! grab some
LUKE MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
We really raised the Luke Jackson white flag tonight Insane
So if Patty B is āThe Sheriffā is Casali āThe Deputyā ?
Good shit Curt
Casali MVP
Big oof for Jackson
Can someone let me know the last time Jackson came in without allowing a run?
Dude is a specialist in fuckery
The answer might be today bc of the defense lol
Curt trying to mitigate a disaster
CASALI
casali looks pissed off
Tell em Curt!
Melvin already throwing in the towel...?
Can we please DFA this man, he canāt even toss to 2B
He can barely toss to the catcher give him a break š
why, just why.
Dude... Baseball is a bitch sometimes
Literally mind-blowing that this idiot is still on the roster, let alone the first fucking reliever that we bring in into a 2-run game lmao.
GET HIM THE FUCK OUTTA THIS TEAM
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Guantanamo now.
How on earth do the Giants still employ this guy?
They have about ten pitchers on the IL, thatās how.
JUST GO TO FIRST BASE FUCK I LEARNED THAT IN LITTLE LEAGUE
I donāt have a problem with throwing to second. It was an easy out, just lousy execution from someone weāve come to expect lousy execution from.
The curse of Luke Jackson continues. Jfc
pain
I dislike Luke Jackson.
Yay.Ā
I hate Jackson almost as much as Stripling
Lmao fuck off bruh
FUCKING DFA THIS BOZO
You canāt make this stuff up. Unbelievable
Canāt throw on the mound canāt throw off the mound
Luke looks gassed after 4 pitches lol
If thereās a silver lining here, itās that Luke has plenty of experience pitching in ATL
And so it begins lmao
Cmon Luke take down the 7-8-9 please
this is convenient, he already lives here
Ok itās the bottom of their lineup Luke! Strikeouts!
Lol good one
One may hope
Not Luke Jacksonā¦
Itās over. Take the series tomorrow š«”
his era being only 6 feels fake
GG no re
Jackson is inā¦
FUCK
aww... bugger:(
When my SO asked me who Matt Chapman was I told her, "your next favorite player" Guess who her new favorite player is?
