@OleTimeHardball @JMarchelletta Never saw Barry Bonds hit eh?

@JMarchelletta I agree, Ted Williams is the right call

You have your choice of any player, in his prime, to fill this DH spot. Who gets the call?

Daryl Morey’s destiny should be working in the NBA league office and making rules to undo all the analytics he helped popularize to make the game more fun to watch again — like Theo Epstein did with MLB.
It was like when the casinos hired ex blackjack cheats.

@krishashok I love every single cheese I have ever eaten… other than paneer 😞I feel like a failure saying so but alas…

India makes more milk than any country on Earth. Italy has 400 cheeses. India has roughly zero aged ones. Ever wondered why?

Some people took issue with me calling Bailey’s performance at the plate thus far unlucky. It’s an 89 plate appearance sample size, entirely minute.
Nothing in the underlying data suggests that he’s any different a hitter than he’s been his entire career. Which is still well below average (70-80 wRC+), but plenty good enough to keep the profile afloat given the otherworldly defensive skills.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to call him the most talented defender of all time.

My thoughts on the move: Patrick Bailey has been such a sure 3-4 WAR player, and while it may not feel like it every day, it will be incredibly difficult for Susac/Rodriguez to cover that mark. A lot of weight on the duo. Bailey's bat is weak, but he's been very unlucky this year. As for the return: In a loaded draft class, SF is in a great spot at #29. A wealth of high school (college too) talent will be available with the added bonus pool $. This draft has the chance to solidify the org as one of the elite farm systems in baseball. Matt Wilkinson is a pretty safe bet. Low slot lefty with strong command has had success at every level. Five ft. release height, -4 VAA from a good horizontal angle. The sweeper and changeup are decent secondaries, of which he possesses a strong feel for. It's a back-end starter, and you hope he can add some velocity. Overall, I'm not in love with the process. Bailey gets severely underrated by fans because his value doesn't appear so obviously, and the ABs can be frustrating. He is undoubtedly a very talented, valuable baseball player and will accumulate plenty of WAR. It's reliant on Susac/Rodriguez immediately stepping up, and the Giants hitting on their guy at #29.

do I think it's a strange move to trade some of the best defense our team has given how poorly we've been hitting? yes.

The #SFGiants and Cleveland Guardians completed a trade, with LHP Matt Wilkinson joining the Giants and San Francisco receiving the Guardians' 29th overall pick in the 2026 draft (Competitive Balance Round A) in exchange for C Patrick Bailey.

@jayhaykid No sports history. This has been proven time and time and time again.

Buster Posey's GM tenure is going to single-handedly ruin the phrase "you don't know because you didn't play" for future generations of ex-athletes getting flustered in a sports argument

@GrantPaulsen The real ones don't have to tell tales of how great they were. They have others to sing their songs for them. Aint no songs about Draymond Green.
English
Today’s generation of players only know Chuck as the funny guy who eats donuts on TNT. They have no idea how good he was.
Houston Barkley was a better player than peak Draymond. Chuck not letting him know that was a masterclass in grace and humility.
English
@GottliebShow Appreciate that articulate and thoughtful response. We will reflect on this

@enjoyer_liberty Of your list No Country and The Departed were both movies I really liked. I'd definitely add Alien, The Thing, and The Passion of the Christ to any top 5 or top 10 list though
English
The top 10 best movies of all time, according to me. The order changes from time to time.
1. Heat
2. No Country for Old Men
3. The Godfather
4. The Departed
5. A Few Good Men
6. Scent of a Woman
7. Goodfellas
8. Eyes Wide Shut
9. Training Day
10. The Patriot
Thoughts?

I don't understand the point of using the term "dozen". It means 12, so just say 12? It's even worse when people say or type "half a dozen". Just say 6 or six.

ESPN has NEVER included other teams from the same city with one of these. Ever.
But I’m supposed to pretend they’re not publicly biased against Boston
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing
'Inside the NBA' on ESPN includes Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel on the "Gone Fishing" graphic for the Boston Celtics.

@GenePark @iMrNewVegas97 Those two posts alone make this list..

@iMrNewVegas97 No Stevie Nicks either! I mean bad bunny is great and all but c’mon

My most literally boomer take: no John Fogerty is crazy. Dude wrote Heard it through the Grapevine, Fortunate Son, Proud Mary, Green River. He is like top 5 of all time.

@bomani_jones I’ve never been to a party or played a show where a Beatles song was requested.
English
something i realized at the beatles cirque show in vegas: you gotta crank that sh t up. high volume, good speakers and the right mastering unlock them.

The same way I see some white folk downgrading Prince, prime MJ or even Beyonce, I see a lot of Black folk downgrading the Beatles. I get it. White artists get a lot of overhyped glory (see Elvis). But the Beatles were the real deal, mane. Broke a lot of ground. Just saying.
