Game Thread: 9.6 Playing out the String in Chicago

[LHG]

Giants' record under Bobby Evans (2015-2018) 308-340 (.475)
Giants' record under Farhan Zaidi (2019-present) 364-322 (.531) (assuming this game ends in a loss)

So, technically, FZ has been an improvement over Evans, solely based on win/loss record. One could argue that the 1st two seasons were a product of Evans but how does one view 2021?

 

[LHG]

Lol true. Cubs have been doing this to everyone though

Think they're like 34-14 in their last 48

Been an impressive run

At least someone's team is doing something impressive, in a positive sense.

 

[LHG]

Look at that, DeJong with 2 hits in a game! The FO must be itching to exercise his option now.

Evans was the skipper during the hangover. Those seasons were the price paid for 10-14. FZ was brought in to get the ship right. We are 7 years removed from the last Championship. That is plenty of time to get righted. Instead, we are treating this team/org like an empty vessel that needs to START the rebuild process.

Thats why FZ needs to go. What has he done for the last 5 years?

Really?

Thanks for the update. We don’t really follow the daily comings and goings of the Giants in these parts.

I do believe the Cubs play on the northside.

Considering the way the club has played these past couple of months, does anyone even expect this club to finish at or above .500? An even win loss record would require them to go 11-11 the rest of the way. I do wonder if that is expecting too much.

you must be perfect.the southsiders apparently suck this year,my bad

Maybe we can go 4-3 or 5-2 against the Rox. We will have a losing record against all other teams. Maybe we go 2-1 in the final series against the doggies as they prepare for the playoffs.

10-12 tops.

If your intent was to respond to the person who corrected your geographical error, that wasn't me.

I am not certain he understands what his intent is.

Even a moron with an IQ above 10 knows the White Sox are the southsiders and the Cubs are the northsiders. It’s like thinking Los Angeles is north of San Francisco. Be that as it is, said moron comes on the Giants board to make an inane but true observation that the Cubs won. Then gave us his take on geography which was completely in error. Are we not allowed to taunt back? It is better than watching the Giants fade into oblivion this season.

Even outsiders who come in peace are eligible for some good natured roasting, imho. Those who come in here either with the intent to troll, or just sans IQ deserve to be ridiculed unmercilously. I am not certain if that dude came here as a troll or as a short bus rider, but either way, go to town, please…

Love Kruk and Kuip, but was kind of a nice change of pace with Estes this morning on KNBR. He was much harsher on the Giants

Estes doesn’t have the sweet pipes, but he absolutely offers a real man’s take. Say what you want, he is no shill.

I still love K&K. I want them going into the Hall TOGETHER.

But they are shills, and it grates on my nerves something fierce.
