Top 4

Houser pitching

Pena doubles down right field line
Alvarez BB on 4 not that close pitches.
Paredes grounds into 5-4-3 DP, Pena to third.
Varsho - F8.

After 3.5 Astros 0, Giants 1.

Too young for him, but I loved watching Will Clark hit, even though he killed the Astros and I hated him

Bottom 4th

Imai pitching

Cavanaugh - line drive single to center
Koss - K
Lee - F8 (Varsho goes a long way to make sliding catch in gap toward center)
Adames singles to center, Cavanaugh to 2nd
Eldridge - K

End of 4, Astros 0, Giants 1.

The repetition is part of the subliminal psychological torture. It’s all calculated to result in fans having Stockholm Syndrome while simultaneously feeling on top of the world, right now. They can’t have their fans say, ā€œI got to find something better to do than watch this shit product.ā€

Good God, Cam challenges a strike almost down the fucking middle.

Fucking Christ, Cam. Challenged a strike that was fully in the zone, not even on an edge.

Well, at least they have a sponsor for the challenge.

Top 5

Houser pitching

Wade - L3
Smith - 2-3
Trammell - K

After 4.5

Astros 0, Giants 1.

This team is just going through the motions today.

Some pitiful at bats so far.

I can’t believe how great the Giants rebuild is going. It’s very impressive. Their pitchers are amazing.

Bottom 5th

Blubaugh replaces Imai

Devers - K
Bericoto - F7
Gilbert - F7

End of 5, Astros 0, Giants 1.

Clint Howard’s stunt double gets things started.

For fuck’s sake, Allen you absolute fucking moron.

Just wow.

That’s one of the first things you learn in tee ball to not fucking do. What the fuck Allen

Incredibly idiotic. Just terrible beyond description.

PeƱa just misses a double down the line, instead hits into a double play of pure dumbfuckery.

Allen is one of the dumber players I’ve ever seen.

Is Nick Allen really the best roster filler we can acquire? Every time I watch him he impresses me less. I’d rather have Shewmake, who could at least occasionally run into a pitch.

Reminder, we traded Dubon for him to clear some tax space and then didn’t really use the tax space
