So far, Giants have as many hits (and more runs) through two innings than they did last night for the whole game.
Padres, Cards, Yanks, Sox, Giants…The collapse that led to the Yankees’ most miserable season in 30 years
As one player put it, “What could go wrong, went wrong.”theathletic.com
Not sure where this goes, but this article could have been written about the Giants, who spent $92 million less than the Yankees on payroll this season.
Injuries. Check.
Too old. Check.
Not athletic. Check.
Poor Defense. Check.
Major players severely underperform. Check Check Check
Padres, Cards, Yanks, Sox, Giants…
All teams that have had incredibly bad seasons that have really angered their fan bases. I have no idea if there is any connection or if there any kind of “story” there, but I have noticed a lot of similar beat stories written about all 5 teams.
exactly.This may be the most Giantsy loss of the season.
Good pitching (until Brebbia)
Awful hitting
Three errors leading to 4 of the 5 SD runs.
I'm OK with it. Let the kids play. Let Bailey learn the hard way, so that he'll be better next year.
As for Brebbia.........
I would guess that you'll get your wish. Might mean one of Alexander or Junis are brought back (personally, I'd be okay with Junis but am fine with Alexander walking).exactly.
Phuking ginger. He's gotta go.
I think JJ will go FA along with Manaea.I would guess that you'll get your wish. Might mean one of Alexander or Junis are brought back (personally, I'd be okay with Junis but am fine with Alexander walking).
I can’t imagine Ohtani signing with us without making promises to him that just wouldn’t make sense for a team to make.
When he first came out here, he said (I think it was from him, it was reported at least) that he didn’t want to go to the M’s because he didn’t want to follow in Suzuki’s footsteps. He wanted to blaze his own trail and make his own legend. This was also why he went with one of the tier B organization instead of the Spanks.
So why would he want to sign with a team that has 3 championships in the last 15 years? A team that is linked to the 2 (arguably) greatest players in the history of the game? A team that has more HOFers than ANY other org? A team that, arguably, has the second highest profile of all MLB teams (and inarguably top 5)?
And a team that has a very questionable ownership group/FO at the moment.
When he can just move down the road to a ready-made team that, while has won a lot recently, has only claimed the brass ring once (in a bastardized season) in the last 30+ years? A team that has a high profile, but has a higher profile for bringing in different faces to the game.
Granted, MAYBE aligning himself with Robinson may be akin to his feelings about getting aligned with Suzuki in Seattle. That is a legit argument for why he may not be interested in staying in LA. But being the piece that almost guarantees a championship for a storied franchise that has been rather championship-free for so long could be a legacy builder he just can’t resist.
Or, if he doesn’t have a strong tie to staying on the West coast, maybe going to Cleveland and building a legacy there would have draw for him. I would see them having AT LEAST as much pull for his services as the Giants. Probably more.
Ohtani ain’t coming here.
I was assuming his membership here would be one of the promises made to him to entice him to sign…What if we FZ reminds him of the message board on the Hoop? That's a sure selling point!
Some of your dues will actually go to him. He’ll get paid $600,000,100 from the giants FO and this board.I was assuming his membership here would be one of the promises made to him to entice him to sign…
