I wonder what happens when Verlander returns in a week or so. Who gets the bullpen duties?

A very good question and a good problem to have. Interesting to see what happens.

Good win today to take the series. Don't care if it was the f'in Marlins. A series win is a series win, especially on the road.

Harrison doesnt have the stamina to start all year. I'd bet my house he goes to the BP

Dodged that Corbin Burnes bullet. Looks like his throwing arm is done.

We all know pitching is important but this is one reason I hate overpaying for free agent pitchers. So many end up with arm issues and then you're stuck with the big contract. Bumgarner was never the same when he went to the D Backs. Last year we had to wait half a season before Snell and Ray were able to pitch. Snell left and signed with the Dodgers and now he as arm trouble. Big contracts for free agent pitchers is a huge risk.

This is one area where the Giants have done a good job in the minors. Their current bullpen is mostly homegrown and they lead MLB in nearly every category.

Ass with bases loaded this time

This offense is so hard to watch. SMFH.

Our hitters are awful , we need to trade for 2-3 new bats

Once we face a good team our bats go cold, go figure

Your ace gives you that kind of quality start allowing 0 runs through 8 and you can't score one damn run??!!!

Torture

but running the same bats out there same year, same meh hitting

Every Giants pitcher has to file a complaint and a claim against every Giants non pitcher for their entire 2025 compensation.
I had seen the title runs with likely same formula. 3 pitching studs, great relief, Posey and a couple of homegrown kids Sandoval and Belt. The rest of the team were rejects, has beens and the guys picked off the couch right before the season. That Giants mediocrity full of rejects would be the jewel of entire HOF compared to this team. Yes, Melvin, keep on preaching how they'll have to collectively get out of that travesty you call hitting. They all will get out of it, next November.

This offense is pathetic. But what else is new? We've been complaining about the offense for over 20 years now.

This f**king team lol.
