I've always reviled in the fact that I'm the nicest guy I know. Trying to turn the hobby of writing into $$$

I already thought Elon’s mom constantly defending him on twitter was embarrassing. I didn’t even consider that Elon was the one tweeting as his own mom and defending himself, which is maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen

@ejmb0000000 @mike_petriello Totally disagree with this despite any babip stuff: he’s never been able to hit in his career & it’s getting worse. Matt Cain defied babip metrics in his prime I think the same way Bailey is now but in the reverse. Look at his career line, esp in the minors. He has never hit.

It's incredible to think about given his absolute best-in-class defense, but I'm starting to think Patrick Bailey gets a trip back to the minors in his near future. Up-to-the-moment line: .150/.218/.188 (wRC+ of 19)

Logan Webb is done after just four innings. The Padres have hit him hard a few times in recent years and they put six earned runs on his line, including five in the fourth inning.

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy."

In 10 years, we'll realize young adults can't read, write, or think as well as they should. We'll wonder how we allowed students to offload huge chunks of their learning to AI. Today we're just watching it happen. This is the most obvious unforced error of our time.

@BaseballJeff1 What baffles me with Walker: A) under three different coaching staffs has not added a 3rd pitch B) has lost the ability to throw strikes/challenge with the FB C) has lost control of the slider (he initially was very Romo-esque with his command of it)

Since 2025, Ryan Walker has an 8.69 ERA in high-leverage spots, which is the 7th-highest mark among relievers (Min. 10 IP). Terrible process decision.

@BaseballJeff1 This is why I hated how post-Kapler the focus has been installing lineup locks who play “every day.” We have WAY too much information these days not to platoon at least four positions daily. I’m ready to try a different option vs lhp than Jerar though.

They fielded a lineup today with 6 suboptimal matchups against lefties. That is not a lineup issue. That is a roster issue.

The #SFGiants have faced off against 3 good left-handed pitchers this week. Those pitchers combined for: 19.2 IP 11 H 2 ER 3 BB 20 SO

@BaseballJeff1 To me the irony is Vitello is doing what established managers like Melvin obsess with — leaning into “guys who have done it before” despite what their own eyes and/or data tells you. Hopefully he’ll get off of trying to make Walker as a dominant closer happen soon!

Yes, let’s not blame the person who put a reliever in a spot where he has struggled again and again and again. It was a poor in-game decision to use a pitcher who might be the 5th-best reliever in the bullpen.

They ought to call other teams about role players. Like, if there is a 2nd-divison platoon bat they can swing in a trade, that would be a notable improvement over their current options.

Same deal with Willy Adames. You just kind of have to ride this out. If they had someone they could use off the bench, then maybe you would use them in 1 of those at-bats in the 8th inning, but that is also not the case.
Mr. Risotto@milhousevanboot

@BaseballJeff1 @The_StilesFiles How about adames?

@BaseballJeff1 It’s very weird to me. Trea Turner has been their version of Devers, and Bohm has been Harrison Bader. Stott has turned into Tommy La Stella. How is Thomson culpable for that?

@jamesheintz @BaseballJeff1 Bivens has a clear role (potentially) as literally a mop up/ long man. There’s an argument to be made if he was on the roster they would’ve been able to pull Houser earlier in his awful outings. I don’t care how Bivens is doing in Sac; Borucki is horrid. Bivens has a niche.

Okay, folks. What have been your biggest surprises or disappointments from the start of the #SFGiants season? Any questions you would like answered? Any topics you'd like to discuss?

Trump’s ballroom is costing taxpayers nothing, just like he said. Unless you count the taxpayer money he’s shoveling under the table. A comically corrupt administration, from top to bottom. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/…

@BaseballJeff1 Great argument for the need for a salary floor. I think Pittsburgh that offseason signed rowdy tellez. It was a complete joke. Belt would’ve made them 2-4 wins better.

I am still very surprised that Brandon Belt was unable to land a major league deal after this season. He even said that he was "baffled" by the lack of interest.

@BaseballJeff1 Jeff, looking at the baseball savant data for everyone in the rotation and the everyday lineup hurts my soul.

@WrestlingSNL Would love to know why Bassett jumping to the protection area every time he’s being laced isn’t being called for fleeing in this match.

Bo Bassett takes out NCAA champion Aden Valencia in an unbelievable match at the U.S. Open. Bassett wins 11-10 to advance to the 65 kg semifinals.
