one day we may escape the long 1993, itself an extension of the long 1968. but for now, a coalition of 70 year olds from vanderbilt and washington university have declared that we must be dragged back into that world

let’s make it happen, we can get this one done

patrick wisdom is back in the big leagues?

i am reiterating my belief that “tarps off” is a subset of the st. louis all-white secret society debutante ball

this has every chance of being the day most remembered in vitello's brief career as a big league manager

the giants have two guys with 7+ bb/9 in their bullpen and another with 3.6 k/9, and there are still four more guys with worse fip's than all three of those pitchers. comically bad group

hello. my name is buster posey. i have just learned about the position 'relieving pitcher.' i will be addressing this in future offseasons. thank you for your attention to this matter

badly need zverev choking his only shot at a slam at 3 am to the world #90 from two sets up

lol

if he got sent on that…

hailey baptiste :(

vitello might be worst in the league, idk how he made the same mistake three times in a week

if antonio senzatela is this good as a reliever then there's really no argument for putting any relief pitcher in the hall of fame ever, or even on an all star roster

wade meckler 105 ev 400 ft hr vs degrom, time to retire old man

would spencer miles be the second best pitcher on the giants active roster? roupp, then maybe mcdonald, ray, or mahle

patrick bailey is 3 for 3 in challenges and just hit a home run

buster posey didn't like the optics of patrick bailey's defense and now the giants are going to lose a game due to catchers interference

Putting Carlos Cortes in as a position player pitcher and then not letting him switch pitch; what's even the point

a's having one of the worst defensive innings i've ever seen

can’t believe chapman didn’t challenge either of those pitches

why does the cardinals broadcast keep cutting to like three full sections of shirtless fans? is this that weird pedophile “veiled prophet” ball?

not exactly a surprise that robbie ray as a #2 starter isn’t working out

BSB: The Unwalkable Object Against the Uncontrollable Force by Alexandra Whitley (@alexandraw.bsky.social) free to read with Basic login www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

jesus rodriguez might have the five worst throws by a catcher this year in his first five mlb throws

🚨 The Giants have walked. With Heliot Ramos’ ninth-inning walk, the Giants streak ends at 130 plate appearances and nearly four full games without a walk. I suspect it could be the longest in over a century

it is 3:50 pm on saturday. the giants have not drawn a walk since 8:41 pm on monday

My read on the Bailey trade: he’s second on the team in walk rate and Buster Posey can’t have that

My initial reaction is that this is an underwhelming return. Bailey has 3+ years of control, so about 6-7 WAR of surplus value. They’re netting two 45 FV players. My rule of thumb is 7 WAR surplus should net a 60 FV player, so a top 50 prospect. They got two 100-150 types. Selling low imo.

Bailey is at .292 xwOBA, 93 DRC+, so he should be playing as usual. Defensive value has held up well too. I like Rodriguez, but hope this is temporary while Bailey gets time to do off field work or mental break.

Traded one of their four good players because Buster Posey doesn’t know what BABIP is, lol

official: the giants have not walked in 101 plate appearances. this covers three full games, plus an extra batter from a fourth

97 now

The Giants have not taken a walk in 92 plate appearances. I have never seen anything like this

giants getting two runs off a guy with one whiff in six innings lol

every time i see the "wisco" jerseys i read it as "tesco" and assume the brewers are sponsored by a british grocer

i see we've reached this stage of the giants' season

The Giants scored 9 runs in six games on that road trip. 5 of those runs came in one game.

why is ryne nelson throwing literally 85% fastballs

throwing over 50% of your pitches at 100+ as a starter is one of the most hubristic things i have ever heard. i mean i hope misiorowski is okay but still

robbie ray last 25 starts (since 6/11/25): 4.10 ERA, 118 DRA-, 4.56 fip, 4.59 xfip, 4.39 xera. lost about 6% in his k rate since the april/may stretch that made him an all star

do we think he’s named after curzon or jadzia. or ezri i guess

Didn’t watch much of this game but why has Tyler Mahle thrown three sliders in his last two starts? That’s exactly the thing that made him bad with the Rangers

zack littell is addicted to giving up home runs, he might end this season allowing one per inning

hailey baptiste :)

the adrian houser contract should be talked about in the same terms as the ross stripling contract
