Tough loss with your two studs in Wink and Kenley having blow up spots
Paxton looked as good as you can hope
Get that one back tomorrow
Well fuck. For all the stuff that didn’t break our way, that just came down to 2 guys who’ve been nails all season not having it tonight.
Encouraging start from Paxton.
That’s a real shitty L
Shitty fucking loss
We will see you tomorrow folks
God damn some of you get way too angry after losses, acting like this is the NFL with only 17 games lol. There’s still 123 more games to play…
Paxton should’ve gotten the win
Get em tomorrow
I’m so glad that this is the one that I missed most of. Seems like one of those kick in the balls games.
Welp, worst loss of the year right after our best win of the year. Such is baseball
If anyone blames the ball girl I will fight you
Unfortunate. Two guys (and one gal) that have been nails all year cough it up. Regroup and win the next two.
Paxton: makes a better return than anyone could have hoped for
Bullpen: “y’all mind if I **S H I T M Y S E L F**”
Hard to win a game when your two best pitchers combine for 0.2 innings, giving up 7 hits, 1 walk, and 6 runs
Very much a “that’s baseball, Suzyn” game. We’ll be back tomorrow.
Why the fuck was Paxton pulled??
Well that was some weird, embarrassing shit. This concludes my executive summary.
Whack that we can beat Atlanta then lose to these guys.
helsley is a fucking menace man what the fuck.
That was fucking awful

Ooof. What a bummer on that one! To the next!
Not gonna panic as it was just very atypical performances by two of our most consistent bp arms in Wink and Kenley. Even Brasier had a rare good outing, which is more frightening than anything else. Paxton was great. Hope to see him continue that throughout the season. Let’s see if we can get the next 2 for the series win.
Sometimes guys just don’t have it. Kenley and Winck have won us far more games than they’ve lost. All about how you respond tomorrow.
Nights like this that make you not love a 6 man rotation, can’t be putting extra out on these guys especially when winck is top 5 in bullpen innings in mlb
Well that was unfortunate. The two guys you have the most confidence in out of the pen just forgetting how to baseball. Paxton looked solid and the offense was there. The beauty and tragedy of a 162 game season.
This was a game from 2022.
Look as a Giants fan who was the beneficiary of many a late night Kenley blown save, I can’t say I’m not surprised.
Bugger
Obviously the bullpen stunk it up but I gotta direct some ire towards Kiké as well. He is having an absolutely abysmal season on both sides of the ball, and I’m starting to wonder what we do with him once Story is back. Relegate him to the bench?
Damn Kenley must’ve been hungover still lol
We woke up the Arenado that’s been a sleeping giant to start the season.
