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

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

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

🚨 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

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.

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
