It would seem that Dubon has claimed center field. I wonder how his defense in center compares to Duggar's. Last year, Duggar slashed .234/.278/.341. This year, Dubon is slashing .286/.327/.367. Dubon provides more on base ability and slightly more slugging. I do wonder if any defensive shortcomings eat up that difference or if he really is more valuable than Duggar?

Sandoval with the start at the corner for the first time this year. Will be interesting to see how he does...

I've noticed that the interactions on this forum have sunk to a new low this season. Has the weird 60 game season, and just the craziness of 2020 in general contributed to everyone interacting a lot less? Or is everyone migrating over to this new sportshoop.la forum? I'm starting to feel like grabsumpinemeat over here.

It appears inevitable that that site will be the eventual home, but at this time, I am not ready to make the migration yet.

I got a "conversation" sent to me from some poster on this forum to come over there but to do so quickly as they were closing registration in 24 hours.

Just saw that they are locking it down tonight. Not sure why. But yeah... if you want to at least get your foot in the door, might as well sign up today.

I have not seen or heard about it... Must be a reason....

Apparently, Evan Longoria had a pain in his butt that caused him to sit this one out.

And Gerald is sitting out the season, so...

It's not a "real" season. Expectations have been low. If the Giants get close to being a playoff team, perhaps things will pick up here.

What other board are you referring to? I remember when Runboard was a thing, but I don't think anyone has posted there in over a year.

It was talked about briefly in, I think, another game day thread a few weeks ago. I think Hammer created another website, with a very similar title to this one and apparently some people have migrated/are migrating over there (or jumping back and worth between the two). I haven't even looked at it but got an invitation yesterday by some poster who goes by the name of Blitzville to join. I assumed he was sending that to everyone on this forum.

There's a new forum?

Speaking for myself, I just haven't had the same juice to post about in recent years. I admittedly haven't been good about posting.

I think it was @msgkings that brought up the new forum sometime in the past few weeks. I understood that the past few seasons haven't been much to post about (unless you like to gripe) but while this season has been more exciting of late, the weirdness of 2020 blunts a lot of it. Of course, @calsnowskier has been saying for the last few years, that this forum is dying and its only a matter of time before it runs its course. I guess I'm just in denial.
