@timkawakami Batting averages at this point in the season mean nothing… A guy can go 3-4 and raise it 200 points in 1 game…

I know batting averages aren't the thing anymore, but they're a pretty easy snapshot for this Giants lineup right now. Encarnacion .333 Arraez .289 Adames .194 Chapman .194 Devers .194 Ramos .189 Lee .161 Bader .121 Bailey .080

@GarlicFryRy @SFGiants What’s happening on the big league team doesn’t really matter, they can’t rush him like that have others in the past… They need to make sure he’s ready so when he’s called up, he stays up and doesn’t come up and struggle and have to go back down…

@MetalManEd @SFGiants I agree to an extent but the product on the field right now is boring

Why is he not up with the @SFGiants right now again? 🤔

@GarlicFryRy @SFGiants And they will be when Bryce gets it together at Sac and forces the issue… Right now he needs to play every day and get reps in Sac, it’s what’s best for him and the Giants for the future!!!

@MetalManEd @SFGiants The crazy thing is BOTH could be in the lineup at the same time

@susanslusser Giants could go 162-0 and fans on the interwebs would still complain about something!!!

Lots of doom and gloom in the replies today, which I get, but folks, we're 10 games into the season. That's nothing.

@GarlicFryRy @SFGiants He’s not better than Devers or even close 🤷🏻‍♂️

@MetalManEd @SFGiants Still a better option than what the Giants have now playing 1st

@amramsfan1 @GiantHotTakes @CavemanDanEYD I can tell you without a doubt Posey more than any other POBO in the League is gonna highly value a catchers defense more than his offense because he KNOWS more than anyone how important it is to a team!!!

@GiantHotTakes @CavemanDanEYD Posey must be be losing patience with Bailey as former catcher himself Bailey may finish the year as a giant but depending on how the CBA negotiations and the off-season go i wouldn't be surprised if isn't on the team in 2027.

Patrick Bailey: 2-21, 3 BB Daniel Susac: 3-3, 1 BB There is a conversation to be had..

@GiantHotTakes There is no conversation that needs to be had other than Susac is the back up with 1 game of MLB experience…

@originaljamied @JTSnowSix Maybe the team should have talked to him before signing another 3rd baseman before they wanted him to switch positions then… That’s the teams fault and no one else’s for burning the bridge and it’s not the first time they’ve done that!!!

@MetalManEd @JTSnowSix Team guys do what the team needs, like play 1B when a guy goes down with an injury. Good that he’s gone.

@originaljamied @JTSnowSix Except he’s not a terrible team guy, literally every single one of his teammates love him, yes even the ones in Boston… Anyone saying otherwise is providing a bullshit false narrative!!!

@MetalManEd @JTSnowSix Huge addition by subtraction. Terrible team guy and a horrible contract. Huge win for the Sox.

@amramsfan1 @JTSnowSix He played 28 games at 1st last season from the end of July to the end of Sept so yes he has more than a month of experience at 1st… Not to mention he played the position damn well!!!

@MetalManEd @JTSnowSix That doesn't change fact they a don't true first baseman on this roster. He himself has less than a month's experience at first base in his career.

@originaljamied @JTSnowSix Best trade the Red Sox ever made? They literally have zero players they got in that trade and it’s been less than a year… The Giants on that trade and everyone knows it!!!

@JTSnowSix Get used to it. Best trade the Red Sox ever made

@amramsfan1 @JTSnowSix They already said he will be playing first at some point next week… 🤦🏻‍♂️

@JTSnowSix They obviously don't want him playing first base but in any case if they're thinking of calling up Eldridge or finding another outside the Organization they need to do it soon.

@SouzaJeffr9966 @JTSnowSix He played 28 games at 1st last season and played it well… They are slow playing him at 1st because of his hammy… They already said he will be back at 1st next week sometime…

@JTSnowSix $30 million/year and can’t be bothered to learn to play 1st base. In a nutshell, this is why we’re not the Dodgers.

@Pete_Paganucci @JTSnowSix You have no idea wtf you’re talking about!!!

@JTSnowSix Devers doesn't even want to be here and he's dragging this team and the clubhouse down.

@APowerGaming @ByMMonreal @SFGiants @NBCSGiants @JustBB_Media He hit .246 in the second half last season which was above league average… If he can do that over the whole season that’s all he needs to do with how good his defense is. Plus no one was better on the Giants last season with a runner in 3rd than him. Go check his splits…

@MetalManEd @ByMMonreal @SFGiants @NBCSGiants @JustBB_Media The thing is he needs to friken hit the friken ball or else we just need him for catcher and then pinch hit his ass because he doesn’t know how to hit a dang ball

For #SFGiants fans saying Daniel Susac should start, reminder that Patrick Bailey has been one of the best catchers in baseball since his debut. fWAR Leaders Since 5/13/23: Cal Raleigh - 18.1 William Contreras - 14.1 Patrick Bailey - 10.1 Will Smith - 9.2 Alejandro Kirk - 9.1

@PavlovicNBCS Damn!!! Really good thing they caught it before it broke loose and could have caused serious issues!!! 🙏🏼

The Giants announced that Jose Butto has a blood clot in his right arm. He'll undergo a procedure today to remove it. He came out of Wednesday’s game with arm discomfort.

@MLB_NEWSNOW_ @PavlovicNBCS He’s not ready yet…

@PavlovicNBCS Bryce Eldridge please

Casey Schmitt has lower back tightness. Jerar Encarnacion will now start at first base tonight, it'll be his first start of the season.

@kdavid5513 @ByMMonreal @SFGiants @NBCSGiants @JustBB_Media He’s far from the worst hitter in Giants history… 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

@ByMMonreal @SFGiants @NBCSGiants @JustBB_Media And also the worst hitter in giants history. We don’t skip a beat when he’s not playing. Let’s delve into how the team does when he’s not catching. I’ll give you a hint. It changes nothing. Susac has elite. Catching skills and is ions better with the bat. Put ur emotions aside.
