2026 San Francisco Giants Season Thread

Yes, I meant Joe Burrow. 2010 was the beginning of the run when Posey came up in the middle of the year, May I believe. 2011 was him being out for the year, someone had to win the division.

As far as today's LA is concern, I don't consider them to be in the league. I don't care what they win, even though I have a baseball package, I am not watching a single Dodgers minute, nor I will watch them in the playoffs, and not recognize anything they win. Buying the championships is not a sport.

As far as the Giants are concerned, I am not placing them into competition with the Dodgers or any other team, I just want them to get into the playoffs on their own. And that is not happening in today's environment by building half the team, as they did 10-15 years ago. Too much competition right now to get away with it. Unfortunately, ownership group's self-financial restrains are not allowing to build the complete team on both sides and there is nothing cheap in the pipe on the hitting side to immediately bring up. Maybe would be possible to trade an excess of pitching to the "sellers" for the established hitter(s), but if they are making the kind of prohibitive money, that is not feasible or will be approved.

What does Joe Burrow have to do with the 2010 SF Giants? Am I missing something?

Who the hell is Burrough? And also in 2010, the Giants won the division on the very last game of the regular season, they were in a tight race with SD that season. And in 2011, I believe AZ won the division. So I don't think they were "nowhere to be found" as you said.

When I meant with SD and AZ back then is neither was anywhere close to what they are today.

In your original post about SD and AZ being nowhere to be seen in 2010-2014, your statement absolutely does not read like you meant "neither was anywhere close to what they are today" within the context of what you were talking about in that post.

Doval sucked but the offense sucked more.

Congratulation professor.
I don't know why I am bothering to respond but I'll try one more time.
I was bringing up an idea from the top of my head (really not bothering with all the detail minutia) just pointing out that the current Giants team building kind of resembles 2010-2014 team make up. And while it could have easily worked back then, it actually did on 3 occasions (I pointed why), it would be extremely unlikely to currently work out in the similar way. Especially knowing that current closers couldn't carry the 2010-2014 Giants closers jocks, in addition to the current abomination called offense.

Another step for him. Hope he keeps showing progress.

If he rakes for a couple months, he needs to be up in August. First base is the easiest position on the field to play. He will figure it out.

hate to burst your bubble. but they have been playing him also at DH recently b/c the high # of errors.

Lol. You still didn't address the Joe Burrow thing.

Tbh, most of your novels that you post in here are like that. I'm not trying to be a professor, it's just that what you said wasn't true, and your explanation of it didn't make sense to me.

I assumed he was talking about Pat Burrell.

Ramos is the only offensive player worth a s**t right now.

The Royals are promoting their #1 prospect (#6 overall) after he tore it up in the minors this season. Jac Caglianone is 6'5" and weighs 250. He hit 6 HRs in his 12 games at AAA and batted over .300. Let's see how he does in the majors. I don't know how they plan on using him. He's played 1st base, RF, LF and DH.

I checked and he's had 10 games as a DH and 24 games at first.. I don't understand why they aren't using him at 1st every game. The only way he's going to improve is by playing. Practice reps are great but game action is better. Hitting can also be different for a guy that's playing in the field vs a DH.

A's are 1-18 in their last 19 games with a team ERA over 8. Wow. They need pitching. Maybe the Giants can get a1st baseman in a trade with them.

Yeah, but he actually wrote Burrell later on in the same sentence.

Then after I asked, and Faithful responded, he said "yes, I meant Joe Burrow."

It doesn't matter, but for such a Giants fan that seems to know everything about the inner workings of the team and management, I would think you would actually know the player's names is all.

As frustrating as the last month has been I have to admit that watching the games has been made a little better by all the drone shots we're getting. We're seeing the ballpark and the surrounding city from some different views. Really beautiful. It doesn't make up for all the frustration but it helps.

we suck agane

The smoke and mirrors have worn off we back to knowing that our number 1 problem was never addressed this offseason and that is our offense

Well, I couldn't care one iota if you buy what I post or not. And if it doesn't make sense to you, don't respond imbecil.

Thanks for the cool moments wade but it was time
