I think Ben is a pretty good guy and obviously loves the Giants. That said, his takes are extremely vanilla and kinda dull. I haven't listened to him in a few months.

Never heard him before.

Good share.

I like what he said about continuity by starting position players.

Seeing Casali on the list reminded me of being pleasantly surprised to find that, despite being in only 41 games with 127 PA, he has an oWAR of 0.6, and a dWAR of 0.8. Hope we keep him.

He's the ideal 2nd catcher. Problem is on this team he's the #1, and also hurt.

As is your right as an American. You're just not wrong*. He's not doing anything different. The players aren't performing like last year and the most important one is gone.
Yeah, I don't like the way he does it though.

I'm surprised he left Rodon out there for 7 complete.

That said, like many of you, I don't want to bail on this season either.

* sweet of you to say... oh wait.

Any trade we make needs to include a Magic 8 Ball for Kap.

RIP Bill Russell.

we have 0 talent in the minors so I blame the person shopping for the groceries. He hasn't produced anything of note since he has been here.

We have 2 top flight, blue chip prospects. One being the top lefty pitcher in all of baseball and the other ranked as the #3 SS prospect in all of baseball. We will probably (hopefully) have at least 1 more top flight blue chipper in the coming days.

While I don't completely agree with the first part I do concur with the middle section.

The last part ...eh.

I get frustrated too but injuries have played a big part in our season this year. They can't control that.

So when I bitch about a consistent everyday line up I have to keep that in mind. Although he does seem to platoon a lot even with healthy.

KLaw just released his top 60 update. Luciano and Harrison are top 15.

Volpe is #9.
