Love those Pizza Cutters on the Blue one!! That would probably look funny on Tacoma but what size are those?

 

Hah! They're actually a great size (for an FJ40) if you don't want to put on rear fender flares. 33x10.5's

 

10.5 !!! niiice, I run 255 so those are actually wider than mine. They look super skinny like old Rover tires in small picture.

 

Anyone watching this dumpster fire? SMH. Awful.

 

Yeah.

 

I'm not a giants fan, but it's hard to watch them give up that lead.

 

Yeah. It ain't over til the fat lady sings.

 

And she sang a sweet song. 11-8 Giants!

 

Needed that big time. Dodgers didn't play and this padded the lead quite a bit. I had a feeling with Posey going to the plate 0-2 that he would get something. He sure did!

Can't wait to see the match against MadBum tomorrow. Can't say I won't be emotional.

 

Love to see it

 

It'll be a good one. But I hope the pen is ready.

 

Did they say in the cast that we were short on bullpen last night? It was odd we had a reliever in there for 2+ innings (7, 8, part of 9?) for sure. What happened to the Giants being the team with THE pitching pipeline? Did we lose coaching or a farm team somewhere that cultivated this?

 

I think the BP is one of the best. But we’ve hit it hard over the last few games. Guys are tired and I think that’s what leads to 7-1 becoming 8-8. It’s a temporary situation.

 

It’s not at all surprising this time of year but in reality only two of the five pitchers used stumbled, the other 3 were stellar and we didn’t even use the regular 7/8/9 group. They were hoping to get Desclafani out with a short day as well but his lack of control and stuff pushed his pitch count way up and he still couldn’t finish the fifth. Just couldn’t finish guys off. I think we miss having a guy like yusmeiro petit that could eat up middle inning relief or spot start to push the rotation back a day.

 

They rested the regular 7/8/9 group who had all pitched 2 days in a row against the Astros and also used them and others against the Dodgers. Desclafani was gassed but only one of the four relievers used to finish the game pitched badly and he also had trouble with Houston. The pen is solid, even more so with Watson rejoining the team back to his former strength. August is going to be a tough month though, I think this game is a taste of how it will be on the offense to carry the pitching staff and just out score the opponents. Much like the Houston series was in fact.

 

Seems like the pitch count has gone up too and that leads to that "early" stumble. Disco also seems to fall off a cliff when he does.

 

any RIVERCATS fans out there?!?! minor league team to the Giants..

 

Been to a few games. Good fun, good beer

 

Not saying our guys did anything to the ball, but I imagine this new crackdown has a lot to do with pitch counts. Even the outfield players need to be wary of what they have on their hands, don't want to screw over your pitcher.
