@susanslusser @KNBR Farhan was at his worst by continually standing pat at the deadline. I have no clue what he was thinking.

@KNBR I hate to remind people that in a similar situation (well, the team was actually much better at the time) kept Blake Snell rather than trading him for a haul. And as I mentioned in the above interview, Casey Schmitt needs a place to play. Chapman Adames Devers hard to move.

"I hate seeing Luis Arraez go as much as anybody... it's gonna hurt but he could bring back something and you gotta do that." Luis Arraez has been a fan favorite and one of the Giants' biggest bright spots, but @susanslusser says it's time for him to go.

@bosummers28 So basically we will continue to suck. Bold strategy.

Posey has already said they won’t trade Webb & highly unlikely they trade JHL as well I doubt any team will take on Chap, Adames, or Devers Their best available trade chips to bring back real returns are Schmitt and/or Ramos #SFGiants

@susanslusser Many proposed trades are moving Chapman for Schmitt at 3B. Wouldn’t it make sense to move Devers to 3B (for a few seasons), Schmitt to 2B or super utility and Eldridge to 1B? That would open up the DH spot. Note: I have no idea if Devers is good at 3B.

@KNBR @knbrmurph @MarkusBoucher Let me preview; Blah, blah, blah, BS, BS, etc. Repeat.

Set those alarms, Giants fans! Buster Posey joins @knbrmurph & @MarkusBoucher LIVE tomorrow morning at 7:30am. What would you ask? Tune in here⬇️ 📻 KNBR 680AM/104.5FM & thesportsleader.com/listenlive/ 📺 The Sports Leader YouTube & Twitch bit.ly/4yphhHo 📲 The Sports Leader FREE app

@CodifyBaseball *Meaningless is too strong a word but you get my point

@CodifyBaseball You need to extrapolate the numbers from the point where the speed gun measurement point changed, otherwise these numbers are meaningless. But yes, I do believe the speed has trended upwards.

100+ MPH Pitches Thrown In Each MLB Season: 2008: 214 2009: 653 2010: 929 2011: 692 2012: 962 2013: 948 2014: 1,057 2015: 1,389 2016: 1,948 2017: 1,107 2018: 1,366 2019: 1,058 2021: 1,829 2022: 3,369 2023: 3,880 2024: 3,321 2025: 3,701 2026: 2,829 already! 😮

@susanslusser @ShaynaRubin @sfchronicle Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

From @ShaynaRubin: Summing up Giants’ first half? Pitching woes, improving offense and a Pride hat-astrophe sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/… via @sfchronicle

@957thegame @Mark_T_Willard @WillardAndDibs F. It’s indisputable. If something below and F were available they should get that grade.

What grade would you give the Giants for their first half? @Mark_T_Willard: "You are 41-55. You are miscast. You have had one, two, three, four sort of embarrassing moments, right?...So that's an 'F.'" (via @WillardAndDibs)

@JohnSheaHey 🤬

Asked Scott Boras, agent for Matt Chapman, who has no-trade contract with Giants, the chances of him being traded: “I would say that it’s not something on the radar.” Hasn’t been discussed, either, he said.

@IronFist1982 Yeah, those of us that lived through those years have no idea how close the team was to leaving.

Bob Lurie is 97 years old and still hanging in there, good for him. #SFGiants

@susanslusser @annkillion @sfchronicle Not to be negative, but I have little belief that Posey and ownership will make the bold moves (including eating money on bad contracts) to make the team a serious contender. Best line in the article is that Oracle has become an amusement park with baseball as the side show.

From @annkillion on draft, trade deadline: Why Buster Posey’s legacy as Giants exec hinges on these next few weeks sfchronicle.com/sports/annkill… via @sfchronicle

@SFGiants Devers has been putting up better numbers but he sure doesn’t do well with men on. Please trade him!

@PavlovicNBCS No Giants game is broken open with their bullpen.

Casey Schmitt blasted his 19th homer to break the game open. He's putting the finishing touches on an All-Star-caliber first half.

@susanslusser Susan, I know it’s a wild guess, but if Flora grows as expected, when might we see him in the majors?

With the No. 4 pick in the draft, the Giants take RHP Jackson Flora (UCSB; Foothill HS, Pleasanton)

@SFGiantsMemer All of the above.

What will the #SFGiants Front Office screw up more this year?

@KXSFsports No

Can we keep him pls 🥹

@BontaHill Damn. Twitter is turning into a Mean Girls movie.

You call me out of my name; you're getting a block. I have no time for keyboard gangstas.

@knbrmurph They can lose 100 games and still average 35k fans because of Hello Kitty day, etc. Guarantee you only a tiny fraction of these fans would have frozen their asses off at Candlestick like I and other “real” fans did back in the day. Baseball is not what it used to be.

No hits, one hit ... does it really matter anymore? #SFGiants

@JackLoder_ He gone.

I asked Tony Vitello what he plans to do with Ryan Walker going forward. His answer indicates to me he probably won’t be on the roster for much longer.

@NothingLikeItSF @SFGiants But 35k per game so he doesn’t care.

@SFGiants 1 hit. 3 errors. Over a decade of losing baseball

FINAL: Blue Jays 10, #SFGiants 0
