I've always seen the Giants all around since I live in the Bay Area. Here and there I would watch but not as consistently (Since I'm more a Basketball and Soccer fan). But I do want to get into it more next year. Any suggestions on Audiobooks/shows/books/movies to watch?
My friend purchased $7 tickets for a game in June during their Black Friday deal. I want to buy two more tickets near our seats and I can’t.
I’m having trouble finding a youth buster posey jersey in the road grey? Anybody know where I can track this down.
This is what my son wants from Santa, so I mean, it’s pretty much the most important thing in the world.
Thanks for any tips in advance!
Anyone know or heard if they’re doing any projects at the ballpark this winter? There’s been a lot of scaffolding in the upper deck lately that looks like work on the canopy.
So I guess the Giants have no interest in Soto? I realize it would be a long shot to get him but it seems that they didn’t even talk to him. Could it be they talked to Boras and he told them he has no interest in coming to the Giants? It’s been 33 years since our last position player superstar, what is it going to take to get one to come to San Francisco.
Just a reminder of how great of a defensive player our catcher is! Excited for this upcoming season!
What better way to spend the offseason than conjuring up ideas to improve the roster and make the team more interesting?
Although he's had some injury history, if he manages to stay healthy, Joe Ryan would complement the top of the rotation with Webb and Ray pretty well. Starting at pitcher friendly Oracle Park and support from our patented pitching lab will only help his performance. Although his fastball hovers around 92-94mph, he gets a decent K rate due to the deception in the pitch. He would benefit from generating more ground balls, which Giants coaching always hone in on for starters.
Make the team more interesting part = he's born in San Francisco, raised in Marin County and his walk up song is none other than bay area legends Grateful Dead's Fire on the Mountain. (Nope... not the same song that Madison Bumgarner used, but coincidentally the same title). He even released a Grateful Dead theme Twins shirt with a company called HOMAGE. He grew up a Giants fan. He has mentioned looking up to Matt Cain specifically, also Tim Lincecum, Barry Zito, and Madison Bumgarner, having been in high school during the 2010's dynasty. I imagine he would be thrilled to be a part of the Giants under President of Ball Ops, Buster Posey himself. Like a true Bay Area resident, he has a laid back and eclectic vibe, much similar to Tim Lincecum (even though Timmy is actually from Seattle). This team needs identity and getting a player that would be excited to put on the uniform and represent the Giants would a treat to watch.
Ryan has 3 years of control on his contract. The Twins roster needs to fill holes at 1B, their bullpen, and perhaps their outfield, so the Giants have a few players they could offer in a trade (Lamonte, Flores, one of the Rogers bros) and throw in a prospect or two to sweeten the deal. Trading for Ryan would give the front office the capability to spend the remaining money left available before hitting the luxury tax on strengthening the offense. Signing both HSK (who practically won a GG playing 2B), and Adames (SS) would do wonders for the line-up.
Sabean and Evans were always super smug when confronted about lackluster prospect rankings. Farhan also didn't seem to care about it, he worshipped 35 fv prospects and his system didn't have anybody (that we would trade) that could land an impact controllable piece. Do they not realize it's much easier to make trades and supplement your roster with young talent when you have a strong prospect pool? Even in the late 2000's when the system had Buster and Madbum, the system was top heavy and didn't have the depth. Teams like Dodgers, Padres, Rays, and Yankees are regularly like 30+ deep in the minors.
From the official MLB YouTube channel, “MLB’s top 100 plays of 2024.” Matos catch at # 65, around the 19:20 mark. Snell no-hitter @ # 61 around the 21:30 mark. A little disappointed that that Chapman to Wade against the Mets didn’t make it (plus others).
Podcast is in the link above - talks about it in 26:30 mark.
-He said Ha-seong Kim is going to be a little more expensive than they want. But he also says later that he thinks he has a QO attached to him (he doesn't.).
-Burnes will be too high. Said if Burnes was a $30m per year guy, they would go after him but he's going to get way more than that.
-Doubtful they will get Sasaki
-Flaherty would be interesting, but probably going after 3rd-4th rotation guy more than likely.
Look at his numbers from last season.
Seriously. If any other team spent a billion dollars on the off season I guarantee they would have been champs as well. Plus they had possibly the easiest playoff opponents I've ever seen as well. Forever bums. FTD
Was in Phoenix at the Diamondbacks stadium and found this brick. They have it hidden far away from all the other custom bricks but it’s there. Peter Alvarado you’re a G.
Players come, players go, owners come, owners go but the Giants, the Giants stand forever.
FTD
How likely is it we get a long lockout after the next CBA expires? It seems like sentiment is building for a salary cap which the owners would love. This Dodgers superteam is taking away any sympathy fans around the league have for the players.
I also wasn't a fan of the draft lottery put into the last CBA. It was just a way for players to try to block non-traditional powers from bettering themselves (Orioles got their rebuild done right before it was implemented).
