better than decent. GREAT year.

Still, I understand the decision to let him walk. We'll see if that contract becomes an albatross. Right now, it looks great.
It was an expensive contract, and he simply didn’t have the track record for it to make sense. 20/20, maybe it was a bad decision. But at the time, it was the right move.

I have a Giants cap I bought at the Tokyo dome a decade ago. Those colors are wrong. It's black and orange. They modeled themselves after the NY Giants.
Yeah I'm sure it they have a reason for doing the blue and orange.

I am not that fluent in Japanese though ...


Maybe they based it off of these ... ?

This is 2013, at the Tokyo dome. Not sure you can see someone with a Giants cap, but you can see the colors are orange and black. Pay no attention to the idiot white guy in the middle.

Now we all know what our alt looks like. Not that we didn't already know.

Does Tom Hanks know you have been stalking his gay nephew?

I know. But it seems every team in every league all over the world has alternate uniforms... right?

Bit of an ironic observation:The Giants have 2 of the top starters in the NL in terms of fWAR in Logan Webb (2.4 fWAR) and Alex Cobb (2.1 fWAR).However, the rotation, as a whole, has been worth 5.3 fWAR, which ranks as 10th in the NL.

It is a product of underperformance from the non-Cobb/Webb innings and, to an extent, a lack of total innings pitched. They are 14th in the NL with 408.1 innings from the rotation. Also, adding that this does not account for the bulk innings roles from Junis, Beck, etc.
