@The_StilesFiles That Adames error is why

I can't prove it, but this ball not going out is why the Giants ended up losing.

@ABartholomew_05 Even though I love Drew as a player, you have to go Lackey/Flora/Lombard which ever of the three fall

Underslot and then go crazy with prep players

@MrAnthony555 Susac hasn’t mastered the ability to spam the splitter yet

#SFGiants pitching since 5/9 (Patrick Bailey trade): ERA: 5.02 (27th) FIP: 4.30 (23rd) AVG: .258 (28th) WHIP: 1.44 (28th) K-BB%: 10.0% (25th)

@DegenSportsFans @BayAreaTrev If he doesn’t go the 1-3 picks is the most watered down way of putting it you possibly could have 😂 He’s not just going to slide in the draft without some behind the scenes tampering going on. Which is the whole point of the comment. It’s not as simple as you are

@StrikeoutsRUs @BayAreaTrev I think you might be retarded. I literally say in the first sentence “if he doesnt go to the 1-3rd pick”. Clearly indicating that just to have a chance, he would need to fall to 4. I think u gotta get off the phone big guy

If Buster Posey pulls this off, I’ll never question another decision again

@GiantHotTakes Not when it comes to merch sales and putting asses in seats 😂 The giants aren’t letting the cash cow go. You also have to remember KBO is essentially AA baseball. If Lee were going the normal route he’d be debuting now

@DegenSportsFans @BayAreaTrev Because convincing a kid to intentionally tank his draft stock and play games with three MLB teams is not a small task 😂 The easiest thing he could do? It’s like saying “dam you couldn’t free climb Mount Everest? It’s the easiest thing you could do.”

@StrikeoutsRUs @BayAreaTrev So how is that not the exact same thing as what i said. All you contributed was how the money is sourced. Nothing more.

@cfinley_forever @sportslarryk @KNBR Imagine not being able to think critically, so you have to make up narratives that sidestep the actual conversation. No where in this thread has anyone mentioned the giants slugging at all, let alone to 3 championships besides you

@StrikeoutsRUs @sportslarryk @KNBR Imagine thinking the Giants slugged their way to 3 world championships. Last year, the Giants were middle of the road defensively, and the bullpen was 5th-7th best, depending on the stats being used. Get your numbers straight, kid.

I talked about this possibility when I filled in on @KNBR. If Buster can pull this off, threaten to pay way over slot, get the kid’s agent to threaten teams 1-3 with over slot $ demands and somehow get Cholowsky to fall to the #SFGiants at 4, this is the kind of pick that could salvage this whole season. Get Cholowsky at all costs! Buster needs to find his Buster. Roch is it, hopefully!

@cfinley_forever @sportslarryk @KNBR They had a top bullpen before blowing it up in the Doval and Rogers trades. You don’t draft off current needs AND you don’t reach for any one position. Especially when you don’t have a great track record of developing it

@Yaboybeaz @ByMMonreal Doubt he’s there at 4, Minnesota has basically fallen head over heels for him.

@ByMMonreal Just take Flora and call it a day

The odds of this happening are the same as a right-handed hitters chances of hitting a splash hit.

@DegenSportsFans @BayAreaTrev Yeah that’s not how that works… you’d have to convince him to buy in completely on the team, commit most of your pool money essentially using 29 as a throw away pick and still hope 1-3 don’t call his bluff and take him anyways

@BayAreaTrev Its literally the easiest thing for him to do, if he doesn’t get drafted at 1-3 pay the kid what he wants. I mean trev, you could probably execute it

@scottytalksshit @BayAreaTrev

@BayAreaTrev We’ve got Jhonny Level in single A…this would be a waste. Get some fucking pitching. Posey’s an idiot. Great players don’t necessarily make great executives.

@C2Cbsbl @GiantHotTakes No one’s justifying it or arguing against his output vs his contract. All I’m saying is he’s hot right now, hence him being in the lineup as one of the Giants best bats.

@StrikeoutsRUs @GiantHotTakes 1 HR in 50 games from a $25M is unacceptable, no matter how you spin it And .240 is not a good enough average to justify providing zero power output

The Giants are playing their best 9 hitters today. Wow!

@C2Cbsbl @GiantHotTakes Slap hitter fair far better in Oracle anyways. It’s not a bad thing. Look at Rafi hitting a bomb 407 ft and it doesn’t go out. Get on, get over and don’t flirt with the opposition while on base.

@StrikeoutsRUs @GiantHotTakes Still no slug tho, I’m more concerned about the fact that he’s turned himself into a slap hitter

@2d2u7 @GiantHotTakes At their pay. That’s been the giants issue all season. They’ve been playing guys based off their check and not who gives you a chance to win

@GiantHotTakes At their pay they should be playing every fucking day

@C2Cbsbl @GiantHotTakes .381 the last week, .255 his last 59 ABs. Improvement.

@GiantHotTakes Chapman is in the lineup tho? So that can’t be true

You’re a free man at 2:30 #5

@JohnAda80546126 @bosummers28 @baseballisdead_ Yet it was Alex Avila who lobbied and complained after he was knocked out the ALCS. Seeing Yadi Get taken out by James Harrison a couple years before didn’t help. The slides were effecting mlbs money so it changed it. Don’t believe me? Here’s an article post Posey injury

@bosummers28 @baseballisdead_ Because buster posey bitched and complained for 3 years about it You never once saw Pedroia complain about machado slide to change rules Buster posey is an all time loser

15 years ago, Buster Posey was involved in a play at the plate with Scott Cousins that changed the game forever.

@cfinley_forever @sportslarryk @KNBR it’s a nice montra in theory. But how did having the best defensive catcher in baseball and the best bullpen go for the giants last year?You don’t rebuild your team by draft to need. Especially when you haven’t been able to develop a major league arm in a decade outside of Roupp

@StrikeoutsRUs @sportslarryk @KNBR When you play your home games at Oracle Park, pitching and defense wins championships. See 2010, 2012, and 2014.

I just woke up and remembered Casey Schmitt plays for my favorite team. Then I made breakfast with a huge smile on my face.
