They obviously want some protection for the middle infield. Probably going to wait a couple of days to see if his back responds to treatment.

Pointless transaction. Should have just shut Hicks down for the rest of the year.
I dunno, they are watching these guys every day and want to get Hicks some work
But Hicks has thrown more innings than in any previous season in his time in MLB. He was looking worn down. Why make him pitch in meaningless games with just two weeks left in the season? Warren was supposed to be this good signing last off season, he is healthy, not thrown much this year, and has looked good in his brief time on the club? Shouldn't he been given more time to throw to see if he is a piece for 2025? I don't think he has any options left after this year.
This is always my disconnect. We as fans think we know what's going on by "looks." A million pieces of info we don't have here.
This is EVERYTHING.
When has that stopped us from making any statements before?
And let’s face it if we didn’t give our view on the Giants there would be no activity on here. We know stuff it just might not always be 100% correct
I agree 100% .... but this is also one of the core elements that make being a fan fun! It provides us with an avenue to 'just make up sh!t' and throw it out there. It provides us with some sort of a release valve when things aren't going quite so well and we need an answer or two. We have an ability to supply a theory of what it wrong! We never seem to follow this path when things are going good ... only when things seem to be going down hill. We'll never have all the information and I'm not sure we would actually want it ... this is part of the core being of a fan .... thinking we know why things are working and why they are not .... this is a good thing .... it is what keeps this forum 'family' together ... this would be one boring forum if we actually had all of the answers ...
That triggered an idea. Each team holds a fan vote determining which player should get kicked off the 26 man roster. Of course there would have to be some kind of financial incentive for the player to get "removed" or the players' union would fight hell and high water against the idea. Just don't tell Manfred.
Wouldn't go that far ... I would think that most of us write our comments, thoughts and whatever based on some sort available data. But, as you stated, there is A LOT of information we just don't have. The biggest difference among our members is orobably based on thier emotionsl mindsets. For some of us the sky is always falling and for others there is always tomorrow.
That would be the right thing to do. Although I didn’t care for Crawford’s attitude after the Giants decided not to resign him. Blaming FZ, although it was the correct decision. But either way let them end their career as Giants.
Can you refresh my memory on what Craw said? I don’t remember it atm…
Basically stating him not returning is on FZ. I’m thinking yes that would be true but he sucked last year so we had better options. Craw said he told FZ he was willing to help with the youngsters as well and just be a backup. He was pissed.
He was done here. That was bound to be painful. I understand his frustration.
