It's all yours.

I refuse to watch Manfredball.

Seriously. Jackson can not be shown the door soon enough.

What will get overlooked in this loss will be the fact that Hicks threw two absolute meatballs that were crushed.

That is so interesting, thanks for sharing

And thanks for sharing your disdain. That is equally enthralling.

I certainly didn't expect a 4 game sweep but we almost pulled it off.

Let's take 2 from LA now, I am probably going again Sunday so that should help us that game

Win or lose, your positive contribution to the Giants season will certainly be greater than Snell’s…

So far this is not even joking, it’s a fact lol

Has anyone mentioned yet that vogel means bird in German?

Vogelsong/Birdsong

I knew it. Cool coincidence

And is this the first EVER game without an official GDT since we came here?

 

[tzill]

Heliot Ramos leads the team in a few categories, including now being tied with Mike Yastrzemski for the team lead with 3 outfield assists

I think that there have been a couple of games over the past 5 years that failed to get a GDT.

Thairo Estrada is slashing .231/.265/378 (83 wRC+) in 310 plate appearances on the year. He brings above-average defense to the table, but his offense is teetering on what is acceptable for a glove-first infielder.

I'm boycotting starting the GDT unless/until they get back to .500

GDTs are for winners.

Why I should never be a GM, example #45,298:

I wanted Jordan Montgomery over Snell...by a lot.

At least Snell isn't out there actively phuking up his team. Much.

Thanks, Jeff Young.

Thanks, Jeff Young.

He's one of my go-to sources for info. He's really good.

Alas, the Giants losing yesterday allows me to come home from Wyoming. They were 3-1 when I was inthe Tetons. It was 54° when we left the Tetons. almost half what it was at home.

3-1 is still better than the overall record to date. Get back to Wyoming! Seriously though, go back.
Okay, really serious. When I went there last year, at the end of May, with my father and oldest son, it was not that cold but there was still snow in some places.
And I just saw the temps for Fresno this next week. Just in time for us to go visit my folks!
