We are in the middle of a pretty significant youth movement. Last season, the Giants had the most cuppos in franchise history. We probably won’t match that this year, but it should be close. This thread will track this year’s cuppos.
After the first 2 games of the season…

He was only 76. I could have sworn he was much older than that.
I was thinking today about Benoit. His name can’t even be uttered by anyone in Wrestling today without either whispering it or speaking over the growing boo’s. That is a stark contrast to how he was viewed before everything went down as it did. He was one of the most loved figures in the...
”Head Canon” is a term used for a “fact” that you assume to be true, typically about some kind of pop-culture, namely movies or TV, even if said theory has never been confirmed, or has even been straight up debunked by the writers. This will further typically be used by “fan boys” of certain...
I was shocked when I discovered this…
Player 1:
Player 2:
Both of these represent 2019 - 2023. Player 1 had his age 32 season in ‘23 while Player 2 had his age 28 season in ‘23.
Player 2 is definitely better, but the difference isn’t that extreme.
What are the options for those of us who have “cut the cord”?
Paramount+ offers the CBS games (AFC). I have not done testing to determine which market they provide. I would guess they use your IP to give you your market’s game. CBS will stream the Super Bowl on P+ this year.
Peacock offers...
This is a LONG one. Sorry, but this has been brewing for a while now…
The Giants are a business first. I understand that.
We, as fans, ultimately just root for Laundry. I also understand that. I try to fool myself into forgetting that as much as I can, but at the end of the day, that is the...
How will the league react to this? You can’t have any non-players getting in the mix, especially with that kind of timing. And he ended up eliciting a response from Greenlaw which resulted in his ejection. If the league doesn’t come down hard on the Eagles and the security guy, that is...
Were you ever at a game and shouted a heckle at a player that actually got his attention? Good or bad.
I remember being at a Giants/Astros game in the late 80s (I was maybe 15 or so). I was sitting somewhere behind home plate, maybe 15-20 rows back, pretty much right behind the 3rd base on...
Who do you take?
A first ballot, inner-circle HOFer, but with a STRONG reputation of absolute melt downs when it matters…
Or…
A solid, but not great regular season pitcher with HEROIC post season chops, talked about as potentially the BEST post season pitcher ever…
I hate to be a homer, but…
A bit early, but it has already started, so might as well…
2 so far…
SF fired Kapler
NYM fired Showalter
Who’s next and who takes he open jobs?
Lots of talk about the Padres parting ways with Melvin. He might actually have some trade value. The Giants are rumored (talk about in Giants...
Wow.
FZ was just on KNBR with Tom and Copes. He was asked point blank if Kap would be back next year, and FZ pretty much danced around the question.
The only thing worse than getting the “vote of confidence” is NOT getting the “vote of confidence”. I am not certain Kap will be back next...
So, who’s it gonna be? It is just 2 weeks away.
Webb? Cobb? Bailey? Flores? Estrada? Someone else?
I don’t see an obvious recipient this year, but all the guys I mentioned are legit contenders, I think.
We don’t have a forum for Podcasts, but I think Podcasts are almost becoming the TV shows, so I guess this belongs here…
Anyway, this is probably the only podcast I listen to all the time (I consider Kill Tony an actual TV show). Often, I think his guests are interesting enough to spark some...
I thought there was a thread for this show already. I know I talked about it somewhere here a couple years back…
Anyway, it recently finished up and I just finished it today.
I don’t LOVE the data I have been able to accumulate, but it is better than nothing. I will try to offer thoughts on what I find as I analyze the data…
Unfortunately, BBRef does not have international signings in any kind of filterable format (that I was able to find, at least). However...
I love Craw. He is one of my favorite Giants ever (top 5, probably).
But is he the greatest SS in Giants history? That monicker has been thrown at him as an absolute unquestioned fact a lot the last couple years.
But I think that is false. And it really isn’t even that close...
