I have to ask, because I don't have a clue who (or what) you are talking about - who is the Mirror?
Dyson, the Mirror...


Great teammate for Will Smith...

Oh. I haven't heard that nickname. Is this something from this forum I've missed or a nickname he's earned from teammates.
He earned it from my ass. That's where I pulled it from.

He has induced 2 grounders that SHOULD have been outs.

Defense certainly welcomed him to the team today.

Morris gets THAT defense while Dyson got the "D" he got.

Welcome to the team, meat...

Morris now 3/6 with inherited runners.

Not great defense behind him, but really questionable why Dyson came straight to SF and bypassed Sacramento.

But hey, a win is a win.
No options might have something to do with it...

They could have always not acquired him. He only looks useful in blowouts so far. Unfortunately, there aren't many blowouts like today's that the Giants play in.

Couldn't watch the game because it was blacked out in my region, but pretty sure it was a shoe-in that we'd win this game with the lineup we ran out there.

just got back from the park... windy, and cold, and very windy...

the ninth was unforgivable, fans freezing and the giants pitchers coughing up base runners willy nilly

They got him for less than free and he was an elite closer just last year. He has a MAJOR case of the yips. A change of scenery can really help with that.

If he continues to suck, the non-tender him, no harm, no foul. If he hits, they now have their killer right handed setup man.

That is true. Just skeptical about him turning it around. Now that we have him, I hope he does but this first appearance doesn't bode well for him (unless he pulls a Morris, and becomes okay). Just wished that they would bring up Matt Reynolds or Tyler Rogers. Seems strange that the FO would make a comment a couple weeks ago that they wouldn't, essentially, do the veteran dumpster dive route and instead would be calling up guys. Then they trade for Dyson. But hey, he could turn back to the 2016 version.

But the potential upside on Dyson is unlike what we have with anybody in the org. If he gets over the yips, it will be a real competition between him and Melancon for the starting gig.

I think when you have a chance to do this Dyson thing, you gotta give it a try.

From what I've heard, Dyson should have had 2 easy outs but his defense let him down. Though again I didn't see it myself.

I'll root for him to do well.
