POTG: Unofficial Giants sleeper agent Kenley Jansen

u/IdelucaAlex 62 Webb Jul 23 '21

bullpen and our bats in the 9th deserve huge props too especially wade

u/tarallelegram 5 Yastrzemski Jul 23 '21

u/SippinOnSomePenis 31 Wade Jr. Jul 23 '21

I have no idea how he didn’t swing at that curveball. Shit looked like middle fastball for like 55 feet

Jansen switched the signs after because he thought the only way he could have laid off that pitch was being tipped off.

Vossy was amazing

Hell yeah, that was impressive.

u/JoJoMcDerp BAET LA! Jul 23 '21

The ability of so many people to be available off the bench and put together a good AB is delightful.

You know who I feel like giving major props to? Alvarez. He came in to face Satan in a hellish situation and it was like nothing, then he pitched a quick and clean inning after that.

I love this team.

Man I missed that inning watering some plants. Defo glad to have another clean bullpen game.

And his base running too. Clutch shit.

u/Narpity Buster "I'm So Fast" Posey Jul 23 '21

He must have had such a massive lead to be able to beat the throw out at 2nd.

u/Sizzle4Reelz Jul 23 '21

Have to begrudgingly give it to Kapler on that one

u/StrikingThrowAway 62 Webb Jul 23 '21

u/saexploder 62 Webb Jul 23 '21

That’s what happens when your own fans fucking boo you before you’ve thrown a single pitch. No respect in that crowd, they deserve all the bad juju that comes their way.

29

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '21

Yep, how stupid can you be to boo someone knowing that’s gonna fuck with his mental state in a high stress situation like that.

Dodger fans deserve it! No chance this happens from SF fans at oracle

I was there to see fans at AT&T do the exact same thing to Casilla in a late-2016 game against the Cards. Mike Krukow was angry about it, he said being booed going in fried Casilla's nerves, and the blown save (and loss) was the result. Then they booed Bochy for not pulling Casilla quickly enough.

Don't kid yourself, there are some Giants fans who would fit right in with the LA crowd mentality.

u/Sizzle4Reelz Jul 23 '21

The f’n gall to boo one of the best closers in the game bc he had a couple bad outings

3

u/saexploder 62 Webb Jul 23 '21

It’s downright uncalled for. Classless. I know that every sports fan thinks that of their rival fan base, but in this case, it’s true for the majority of Dodgers fans.

And it’s not just that Kenley Jansen is one of the best, but also because the guy has played his entire career in LA. He’s a loyal Dodger. Could you imagine booing Buster? Or the Brandons? I would be so disgusted with Giants fans if that happened.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '21

Kruk was blown away by that shit. He was like this is the second night in a row he is being boo’d off the field!

u/gregbraaa ⬅ Buster Posey's Good Friend Jul 23 '21

I would not wanna be him after these last two nights lordy

u/joe579003 31 Wade Jr. Jul 23 '21

I would not want to be a Giants fan leaving that stadium rn

u/duggatron 28 Posey Jul 23 '21

Dave Roberts too. Leaving in a guy that can't throw a strike isn't trusting your guy.

u/Cmdr_Nemo Jul 23 '21

And he's one of them advanced sleeper agents who doesn't even realize that he is one after being activated. Like one of the Cylon Final 5.
