@susanslusser @sfchronicle Lovely. We thought you were here just for the ‘Clayton Kershaw is retiring’ low hanging news slop. But yes, thank you reporter, Ohtani is good at baseball. Anything else? New Steve Garvey profile incoming??

And from me: Shohei Ohtani, baseball unicorn? Giants, teammates in awe of Dodgers’ two-way great, even if they now just expect the impossible from him; and why he's a bargain/positioning LA to be great for a long time. sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/… via @sfchronicle

@BaseballJeff1 They sure did. Another buyer lost!

@jsully1075 Sure, didn't the Phillies also trade one of their top prospects for a reliever less than 24 hours ago?

It's not like they are winning with the crew they have right now. Moving one of their best trade chips, especially since he is a reliever, makes quite a bit of sense because we simply do not know what he will look like in a couple of years down the road.

@BaseballJeff1 We’re all assuming other teams will be as aggressive with the prospect trade cost as Padres. They likely won’t.

1 good reliever, even as good as Randy Rodríguez, does not make or break a bullpen. From a value standpoint, a high-end starting pitching or position player prospect has more value than a reliever. That's a deal smart teams make.

@BayAreaTrev And was 1 of (at least) 4 very embarrassing plays for him this wknd. Has no business being out there rn. Not sure what happened to the defense (seemed better last year!) but guy needs to be a full time DH going fwd. Worse than I ever saw from Ishikawa, Huff, or Burrell out there

Holy shit this is so embarrassing LOL

@BaseballJeff1 Very rough series in the OF for Ramos. He’s on the verge of being unplayable out there.

The Giants were near the top with runners in scoring position through May 31, but that pendulum has shifted wildly in the other direction since then.

Since June 1, The Giants are hitting .199/.279/.334 (68 wRC+) with runners in scoring position. The batting average, on-base percentage, and wRC+ are the worst in baseball during that stretch. The slugging percentage is the third-worst mark.

@greg0silver @KNBR … a club once again regressing to the mean to a .500 record

That was... __________ Well, I'll let you fill in the blank. Dial it up, 415-808-5627 and let's talk #SFGiants getting swept in Detroit Talk to you shortly on @KNBR

@SonsofJohnnieLe Clearly Hicks doesn’t belong in the rotation

WTF! #sfgiants

@BillSimmons @TheCousinSal Compared to the last one, this video looked like the end of the Irishman

House Eats 3.5 happened in New Orleans last week on the 12 year anniversary of Sal throwing up all over the Acme Oyster House — there were no losers between Sal and House, only winners. youtu.be/yMLM6xrz1RM?fe…

@BrookeJenkinsSF The mark of a true champion - ALWAYS blame the referees!

2/ This week a felony case for petty theft with two or more prior convictions (CRI 25001678) was reduced to a misdemeanor by Judge Gerardo Sandoval at arraignment over our objections and against the clear will of the voters.

1/ Since the passage of Prop 36 my office has been working to implement the will of the people and filed dozens of cases using the new tools available to us to make our city safer and hold those who habitually break our laws accountable.

@MLB @Dodgers Congratulations on conquering Japan MLB! Unfortunately you also just destroyed any interest in competitive baseball in America. Well done

Roki Sasaki Yoshinobu Yamamoto Shohei Ohtani Japan's biggest stars will officially take center stage for the @Dodgers in 2025 ⭐️

@PavlovicNBCS Why even watch? Giants are basically done for the decade.

Roki Sasaki announced on Instagram that he’s signing with the Dodgers, as expected.

@BenStandig Clearly their worst (and most infuriating and incompetent) game of the season

Eagles S C.J. Gardner-Johnson is disqualified after a second unsportsmanlike penalty.

@nut_history Lou Whitaker, meet Jeff Kent

Whitaker - 3.14 WAR per 100 games (2.9% votes - removed from ballot after 1 year) Jeter - 2.60 WAR per 100 games (nearly unanimous HOFer) Lou Whitaker is the biggest HOF snub of all time in my opinion

@BontaHill It was not a competitive at bat at all. At this point why is he on the team?

Canha had no shot in that at-bat. #SFGiants

@rog61 Farhan on being last in MLB in steals in 2023 “…that just can’t happen. To be that much of an outlier just shows it was a real deficiency.”

It’s probably never great to be negative outlier in this way

@McCoveyChron Blake Snell very much giving out Barry Zito 2007 vibes here so far. Thank god this contract is only 2 years!

Phillies take the lead on a bloop

@DamonBruce And here we are

Joey Bart … the Giants couldn’t have done a worse job grooming him, managing him, valuing him, not trading him, and ultimately got zero value out of his career.

@knbrmurph Swapping out Joey Bart for Daulton Jeffries for one start. Wow

Daulton Jeffries with unquestionably the worst start by a Daulton in franchise history #SFGiants

@maddelucchi @giantprospectiv @SFGiantsFN For the umpteenth time Farhan misjudged the market

Wrote about the Corbin Burnes trade over @SFGiantsFN. The Giants chose not to package some of their more valuable pieces to add a bonafide ace with Northern California ties. Still, the deal signals that a premium shortstop is on the block. si.com/mlb/giants/new…

@GrantBrisbee 'In another (less-reported) development, as part of the deal, the team agreed Ohtani gets to kick Willie Mays in the groin 15 minutes before the start of every Dodgers-Giants home game at Oracle Park.’
