Some final remarks ... I feel your pain .... a 14 year old daughter ... we raised 3 daughters ourselves ,,, and I still remember when they were 13-16 ... still cringe at many of the memories ... some of the most difficult years as a parent ..
Differences in Canada ... can't speak for all...
Glad to hear that you and the family are adjusting. It is a slow process and there will be many bumps along the way ... but in the end the rewards are usually well worth the effort. You actually mentioned one of the best things that we have also experienced here in Canada (Nova Scotia). Life...
Hey LHG
Off topic .... you've been in Tennessee a while now .. how are you and the family handling the transition from California to Tennessee? Not an easy task when all is said and done. We moved from New York (suburban area) to North Atlantic Canada (rural). Did this a little later in life...
Have to agree with everyone else. Still early and we lost 2 close games to LA. They are a very tough team all the time.
Let's see where we stand after the next 7 games.
I have to applaud FZ on rhe FA season. I didn't think he could or would pull something like this off. He has made the 2024 season special for us. There is some real hope that we will be force to be watched. When Cobb and Ray return to the rotation we could actually be Tzill's Rotation Of Doom...
For what it's worth ..... I expect this to be a very difficult year for a team like SF. At some point we have to make a hard decision on what are we playing for ... today (win now) or for tomorrow (play the kids and see what you really have). This is where players like Matos get caught in the...
While I agree with you 100% I'm not sure that this is how the average fan approaches the season. I think that almost all of the members on this board are pretty well grounded in what to expect. It's tough to actually think that your team isn't quite there yet. Most fans want instant...
I'd like to think that everything was above board as FZ implies .... but I just don'T know. From the little I see in writing it's not clear ...
For months they persued Chapman, his replacement and they didn't give him any heads-up what was happening. I also read that he only found out about the...
I sort of think this is what will actually happen. I don't believe that Monty is a possibility. I think it was Tzill that mentioned he was looking for a long term package and FZ just doesn't do that. Should have done it for Gausman and didn't. Not sure about Snell either. Seems he will accept a...
Have to go with Mays, Bonds, Posey, Bumgarner bevause they were the heart of the 3 WS ... have to add Bocy because he was the captain that guided us there.
But for oldtimes sake i have to say Marachial was the best Giant pitcher I ever saw ...
Jist for another perspective ... being one of the oldest members of this forum I may be the only one here to ever see Sandy Koufax pitch. He wss one of the dominant lefties to ever take the mound. But it wasn't always that way. Early in his career he was very wold and all over the place. I...
I totally agree. I'm just not 100% convinced that we are somewhat 'leaderless' by choice. IMHO I tend to beliieve that FZ plays a much big role in that area then we imagine. Maybe too much involvement at a much lower level than we think.
For me personally... how much of Ksplan's decisions were...
Pretty hash assessment. Don't believe that Flores worked with Soler thinking it would cost him playing time. As a teammate he did what I think should be expected from him.
Mmmmm ... how do you know the internal thoughrs of us older folk .... can't tell you how many times thise words have passed through my head ... never to be spoken ... but there never the less ...
At 57 the get up won't be too fast but you will still have to sit back down. At 67 the get up will be slow and you'll still have to sit back down. At 77 (which I Am now) you won't remember getting up at all. You just find youself standing .... and you're damn glad that you were able to get up...
With a clear need for another pitcher and Davis having a good spring .... makes me wonder why ... and also hope there is still another transaction or two still out there ...
I tend to agree with this line of reasoning. What worries me somewhat is that Craw's interpretation of events is not the same as FZ. I dont think that FZ disliked Craw but I'm not too sure about how honest his interactions are with people. It will be interesting to see what FZ does if Hicks...
I'd place my bet that SF is going with a 3 year deal. Makes more sense for us. If the NYY do counter I would think it would be with a 7 year package with a little less money per year. Just hope this is another Aaron Judge rerun where we are just being used for leverage. Still would prefer Monty...
I agree 1000% .... I think this is all FZ rolling the dice and trying to give management something .... I think his job is probably on the line at this point ,,, 5 years with little or no improvement .... but .... as you said .... the real gamble is Cobb and Ray ,,, ....
