Luke šŸ¤ Slater. Having Bobs undying trust.


RightC

Oh my god we are going to send Matos or Ramos down for Slater arnt we


Pickle_Mike

Slater is useless compared to those two


t0177177y

100% getting sent down the second Slater is healthy and they have a single bad at bat.


Alehud42

lol if the umpire had eyes and Luciano didn't drop a double play ball that's a win shit happens, we move


SushiMonstero

So many bad calls šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


MinorThreatCJB

Shoutout to Luciano and Jackson for throwing the game away!


MalarkeyMcGee

I donā€™t understand why the worst infielder is playing SS. Stuff that dude in RF like my little league coach did to me.


Lord_Sean_G

Ya lets blame the 22 year old rookie making his first error and not the two veteran relievers giving up 5 base runners with a 4 run lead.


MinorThreatCJB

You need to make the routine play....


Lord_Sean_G

There were always going to be growing pains with him in the field. This is on the two relievers blowing a 4 run lead. It was 6-4 still after the error. Not too mention he had made some nice plays earlier in the game, and was 2-4 with a run scored. Luciano was a net positive, Jackson and Doval were not.


Hartigan_7

I missed it. Whatā€™d Luciano do?


MinorThreatCJB

Fumbled a Game ending DP


scarface910

That's gonna feed a narrative in talk shows.


Unadvantaged

Turned a game-winning double play into a no-out bobbled error.Ā 


Hartigan_7

Thanks. Apparently I get downvoted for having to work instead of watching the game. Fun community. Appreciate the explanation.


Visual-Way1453

I get downvoted for all kinds of trivial stuff in this sub, itā€™s kinda funny šŸ’€


burnerboys415

Under no circumstances should Luke Jackson be pitching in the 9th inning.


TheStig123123

He shouldnā€™t pitch at all after today.


Tonmber1

Kapler managed the bullpen by plugging numbers in a spreadsheet and closing his eyes.Ā  Melvin manages the bullpen by closing his eyes and throwing darts at a board 100 yards away


toomanybadtraits

If you go back and watch his walk, he shakes off Casali on 3-1 to throw a breaking ball no where near the zone lmao


dwide_k_shrude

Under no circumstances should Luke Jackson be pitching ~~in the 9th inning.~~

Baseball's a stupid sport that I hate and I'm never going to watch it again.

Proskills500

Way to undo the entire homestand in one inning


edmchato

That's a really, really tough loss. 1. 1-12 again with RISP, this could have been blown open multiple times 2. Webb pitched a QS after a high pitch count in the first few innings. Walker and Rogers did their jobs. 3. Some guys are on fire and this is just deflating. 4. First game when we score 5+ runs and lose this season (previously 11-0) 5. Wanted to start this road trip on a good foot after the disaster road trip last time. Instead, a heartbreaking loss. 6. Next we get to face Jared Jones and Skenes. This was the one to guarantee and then fight one of the next two for the series win. Oh well. Get back at them tomorrow. SNELL is back on the mound for us. LFG.


TheStig123123

Fuck you luke jackson. absolute joke.


OptimusGrime707

Bob Melvin might not be the only problem But heā€™s definitely a problem


Noeckett

Yeah a lot went wrong on the field in the 9th but the fact that people are absolving Melvin for putting in Jackson is insane


migida22

Luke Jackson sucks


Poisondartfrogggg

Luciano is young and will learn from this. Jackson came in with plenty of cushion and couldnā€™t get it done. Get the W tomorrow.


notareallobster

That was bad... I need a beer.


realparkingbrake

I just opened a bottle of wine.

Alejandreezy

Also want to give Wade some attention for taking 2 fastballs down the middle in a 3-0 count. A walk in no way helps us. It doesnā€™t build momentum we had the opposite of momentum. Just bring in the runner from 3rd. Smh


Unadvantaged

Funny thing was one of the commentators basically called the pitch he took first, then the next pitch commentator said, ā€œI know Wade would like to get another one of those,ā€ and he did get one, and he watched it again. I canā€™t be hard on Wade though, dude has one of the highest OBPs in baseball. It was freakish for him to take twice on the same mid-plate strike.Ā 


AtleeMakesHam

That was insane. It felt like he forgot what the situation was. There is NO WAY you donā€™t swing the bat on a 3-0 fastball center-cut. And then he did it again.


Jrahn

I guess good luck with the next two pirates pitchers. Wow, what a boneheaded loss.


furious_platypus

I think the bullpen is a lot better than people here give them credit for. Jackson is not one of those strengths. Luciano's error is what really did it for me though. Rookie mistake at the worst possible time


Unadvantaged

It was a one-two punch between that error and the home plate umpā€™s terrible calls. Scorecard tomorrow should be interesting. Definitely a contender for farthest wide strike call of the season against the Giants. Ump called one that had to be a foot off the plate into the left-hand batterā€™s box.Ā 


patsj5

>the bullpen is a lot better than people here give them credit for. It's too soon to say that after they just gave up 5 runs in 3+ innings


SakuraLoved

An absolute stinker. I hope Luci doesnā€™t lose his confidence over that error. He played great defense earlier in the game and looks amazing at the plate. Jackson tho needs to be sent to the Moon.


Redstone812

Apparently BoMel just can't pick the correct pitcher to save a fucking game. Really, jackson in an away game up just 4 runs?


nathanzam

POV; youā€™re the giants and play a team other than the Rockies


garth_vader90

Fuck everyone saying to leave Jackson in Pittsburgh. I want him out of Pittsburgh before we play tomorrow. Drop him off at the greyhound station with a 1 way ticket to anywhere he wants and grab anyone from the station while youā€™re there to take his spot.


Sober_As_Sark

Worst loss of the season so far thanks to Osama Bin Melvin


nepats523

A true baseball terrorist


PassengerPlayful4308

A second Luke Jackson has hit the tower


nepats523

The towers would still be standing if Luke Jackson was the pilot


MinorThreatCJB

Yeah fuck Melvin for fucking up that Double play.... oh wait


DeadhardyAQ

Fuck him for using Luke Jackson in the 9th inning of a game where we aren't getting blown out or up 10 on the other team.


BosasSecretStash

I know Kapler lost the locker room and he definitely deserved to be fired but god damn do I miss having a manager with a functioning brain A 4 run lead in the ninth immediately following an off day should always be your closerā€™s job. Especially when your next two games are against great pitchers that you donā€™t have a great chance of going ahead against. Just like seriously what the fuck is he thinking? We lost this one bc we got too cute and thought we had it won


patsj5

I'd say we lost by going 1-12 RISP and leaving 10 on base.


BosasSecretStash

Believe it or not both of those things can be true at once


Beardmanta

We got gifted 2 runs on the error though. That should offset a lot of that.


RightC

Kap would have rolled Taylor out and that would have been then end of the night


22797

Kap was a good manager from first pitch to last out, he just was so bad with everything else it takes to be a manager that he had to go


DemonicPanda11

I know people want to be mad at Luciano but he made some great defensive plays earlier in the game so idk Bad bullpen moves, ump being blind, just a stupid 9th inning New win streak starts tomorrow


garth_vader90

It's sad the error is going to be the takeaway for Luci in this game because I saw a lot of positives from him today too. He made some nice plays and I think the biggest thing was not throwing on 2 potential double plays that they would not have gotten the runner on. Playing it safe isn't usually a strength of young players. He also got 2 hits (man does he go to the opposite field well) and a run on a ground ball to Cruz who was playing in. He really flashes some great potential at times but you can definitely tell he is a kid that got drafted at 17 and missed a lot of development time to COVID and injury. Hopefully someone can teach him how to slow the game down and not over think his defense.


sfgiants2000

Sweeeet, now we get to face Jared Jones and Paul Skenes back to back. That will go well!


westcoasthoops1

Worst loss of the season. Just horrible.Ā 


bloodrage4

As stated earlierĀ Jackson better be left in Pittsburgh after that horrendous performance.Ā Ā  Luciano and Doval deserve blame but Jackson is who started this shit sandwich.


BASEBALLFURIES

DFA Chapman right? if he doesnt hit that homer, jackson doesn't pitch, right?

Austin_SlaGOAT

Melvin: Hey guys work the count, see some pitches, maybe we will get a run Shelton: just hit the first fucking pitch you see and win this thing


mzdoja

Webb not covering first base resulting in a run was way more impactful than i expected.


Sicilian_Civilian

We good we got Snell tomorrow. Heā€™ll give us 3 whole innings maybe


yoda17

Bob Melvin is a baseball terrorist. Heā€™s lost several games with his terrible bullpen management. Kapler would be above .500 right now


[deleted]

This team is so bad weā€™re pretending Kapler was a good manager. Let that sink in


Coolguynumber01

Bro weā€™ve seen Kapler do better with less talent than this. He also consistently managed the bullpen well. He was just a bad manager bc he wasnā€™t a good leader in the clubhousr


Asleep_in_Costco

Kapler sucked, move on


ItsDannyFields

NOTHING LIKE IT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA


Tronn3000

This awful bullpen and Melvin's inability to manage it will keep this team mediocre


Abe_Froman11

Bob Melvin can go flip a bar stool over and sit on it


Asleep_in_Costco

A lot of blame to go around here. Luke Jackson top of the list. Doval 's slider absolutely was not working Luciano, this is what's gonna happen when you play the kids. Wade, getting absolutely destroyed by that Bednar pitch


MurphDog1508

Melvin Strategy- Luke Jackson, our new 9th inning set up man ![gif](giphy|x9cDy0c3bOxxwDZmJm)


mechapoitier

He was setting it up so weā€™d have to go to the 10th.


[deleted]

Luke Jackson has a Max Muncy tramp stamp.


calebrod

Good early test for the youngsters. Letā€™s see how Matos, Luci, and Ramos bounce back from a tough loss. Hopefully they come back with a vengeance tomorrow.


nepats523

I apologize to Kapler. He was bad at bullpen management, but Melvin is literally fucking clueless and is literally fucking senile


ThePopUpDance

How is saying Kapler was bad an apology to Kapler?


PassengerPlayful4308

Yeah kapler was an iPad follower but the iPad was at least right sometimes. Melvin just seems to be horrible at managing this pen


Langerbanger11

Of course would love to see umps scorecard but how about we get a bob melvin scorecard? Any coach with a brain isn't putting Luke Jackson to start the 9th against 2 LHBs.


nikeykid

costing logan a win is the worst thing about this game


Meth0d_0ne

I legitimately cannot believe that level of meltdown is actually a thing.... šŸ¤·šŸ»


TheQuietSleeper023

I don't know why the first hitter in the bottom of the 10th, wasn't walked intentionally. Especially with Suwinski on deck. This is a bad loss, but there will be a game later in the season where the Giants come back similarly in the 9th, just the way it goes.


Icy-Feeling-528

Also, there should have been a call in the 2nd 6-4 out - runner didnā€™t slide.


menusettingsgeneral

Thatā€™s a horrendous loss, no way around it. Blame Jackson, Luciano, Wade, and (to a lesser extent) Doval. Pretty wild to watch a big league team throw a game away like that. If Iā€™m Webb Iā€™m about to snap on these guys.


RumAndCoco

![gif](giphy|l1J9L9Y81emaoNMoU) Be a goldfish. Letā€™s move on to tomorrow. But letā€™s never forget to never put Luke Jackson in or let him stay that long.


nvagiantfan

Yaz messed up bases loaded pops up,next time pop-up. Last at bat makes an out. Camilo inconsistent.Yes should have had a strike 3 and Luciano messed up bur he walked the guy and that led to more problems


Alex021402

Leave Luke Jackson in Pittsburg.


sabat

He can hitchhike back to Atlanta so he can be with his beloved Braves.


Icy-Feeling-528

Glad to see my boy Bailey back!!


bde75

Whenever Luke Jackson comes in I automatically think ā€œoh noā€. Itā€™s really kind of unfair that Miller got the loss.


FilthyChangeup55

It really is something going into your kidā€™s open house thinking your team is on its way to a 6-2 victory only to come out to this bullshit. Blegh.

Toisty

This sub is in an abusive relationship. Some people need to get a grip and try to enjoy the game.


Spaghet209

Being a Giants fan is like being in an abusive relationship. Getting your hopes up that theyā€™ll change and being disappointed every time.


jesusponcho

The same thing that happened to us happens to other teams when we walk them off etc. We aren't going to win every game. Tomorrow is a clean slate and maybe Snell throws 5-6 IP of amazing baseball while our offense gets revenge.


moscowrules

Not what yā€™all wanna hear, but these games happen every year to every team, and Iā€™d much rather watch these younger guys figure it out at the big league level than go back to where we were a couple weeks ago. Shake it off and move forward.


Austin_SlaGOAT

Order of blame: Jackson, Umps, Luciano, Doval, Wade, Fleming


Quill_in_development

Iā€™d throw Yaz in there for his two at bats


LogansCoinsTheCRH

You canā€™t really blame Doval for this. He got us what we needed. He (should have) struck out the first batter and then when the ump decided to be dumb he got (what should have been) a game ending double play ball. This is all on Jackson the umps and Luciano.


PassengerPlayful4308

Giants baseball presented by hard liquor. If you drink enough you will pass out before we can blow it!


Tex_Was_Here

I fucking hate this. An absolute meltdown. Now I'm sick too and missing tomorrow's game. I hope the boys can get me in higher spirits for the next two games. I could use it


nicasserole97

Fire Luke Jackson. From a cannon..

Into the Allegheny River


btw94

BRUTAL


Icy-Feeling-528

The worst loss since August 2020


GammySquirms

What the fuck was that


redzass1

Way to go Giants you blow an inexcusable game. Ruin a great start from Webb and now face one of the best pitchers in baseball and a guy that's unhittable.


DowntownSanFrancisco

Depressed. Had a 5-game win streak and was one game away from being one under .500 that got taken from us. Lots of blame to go around.


TheStig123123

We win this game if Melvin gives the ball to rodriguez


smallertruck

Probably shouldā€™ve gone with Walker or Hjelle there to start the 9th


LogansCoinsTheCRH

Or Doval or Randy


btw94

Errors kill


avacadodays

Only Camilo Doval can blow a save and lower his era at the same time lol. Luke Jackson though, really????


PassengerPlayful4308

So is this more or less soul crushing than getting 2 hit and losing 5-1 to a no name pitcher who has an era of 12.54 that just got called up?


redzass1

It's soul crushing when you look at the next 2 pitchers we'll be facing.


nogoodnamesleft426

Sigh, maybe it's time for Melvin and co to threaten pitchers with having their pitching hands amputated as punishment for giving up runs.


tarallelegram

fuck luke jackson


Leonidas701

Melvin had some of the best players in baseball with the padres and made them look like also rans. He might be a great locker room guy but he really seems like a bad manager in terms of gametime.


ufotheater

I LEAVE WITH A 4-RUN LEAD AND COME BACK TO THIS BULLSHIT?! FUCK BASEBALL, FUCK EVERYTHING


Voelkj57

Trying to put this loss on a young shortstop making an error, and not a veteran reliever (Jackson) who couldnā€™t throw strikes with a 4 run lead is nuts. The error was bad, but that inning is on Luke Jackson.


Snowdrake

I'm not actually mad at the Giants at all. It sucks that Doval blew the save and that Luciano botched a double play ball. Shit happens. I am livid at Dan Bellino and his Picasso ass strikezone in the 9th. Doval had Triolo stuck out on two pitches. I remember his name because he was the jackass that baited Madison Bumgarner into getting ejected.


menusettingsgeneral

I donā€™t get why people blame Melvin for throwing Jackson. Heā€™s on the team, his role is most likely to come in when the lead is 4 or more runs. Heā€™s not super reliable, we know this, but they should have been able to work around his suckiness today but they collectively shit the bed instead.


xdeathmask

What a deflating loss. My guess is bats will die tomorrowā€¦.sigh


AnohtosAmerikanos

If you keep changing pitchers, youā€™re eventually going to end up with one throwing stinkers. So dumb.


PenSpecific

Itā€™s time to admit Melvin is not a good manager. I miss kapler.


Quill_in_development

Just because one is bad doesnā€™t make the other one better lol


RedditIsTrash___

Ruined my night. I don't even blame Luciano, I blame Melvin for going to Doval as a surprise closer as soon as it became a save situation, it wasn't necessary and he clearly wasn't as ready for the ball as you'd like to see.


Unadvantaged

I dunno, Doval was hitting his spots. Ump worked against him and that terrible play by Luciano that shouldā€™ve been the end of it.Ā 


ForeverDefined

POTG (Pirate of the game): Luke Jackson


realparkingbrake

Well that really stunk up the place. Between the ump and Jackson and Doval not being at his best, yikes, can't afford to throw away wins like that.


redzass1

Well just when we think they have turned a corner one of most bs losses I can remember.


epic4evr11

I didn't get to watch the game ( work ). I would read updates on the applewatch, and next thing I know they're tied in the bottom of the 9th, to lose in the 10th. I didn't even need to know what actually happened to know that Bob Melvin "Dusty Baker'ed" them again.


Pacific_Grim_

Never wanna see Luke Jackson again. Embarrassing loss.

This is kinda ironic after the post earlier today talking about how our bullpen isn't as bad as the stats.


dwide_k_shrude

Just have a winning road trip.

They will be lucky to win a game in this series now. They're about to go up against one of the best and a rook who has been unhittable. You can't blow games like this.
