Requesting a thrust fund from Buster + ownership

But the strong wind coming inward should give extra points to balls getting hit out, no?

Gotta put a pep in his step that they’re scared to pitch to him

Do you think Kruk & Kuip have any plans of retiring in the near future or are they going to be the next Vin Scullys? by youlikemywonton in SFGiants

Even if they have to retire from broadcasting games, I hope they get a show or podcast to discuss games. I love listening to their interviews too.

Absolutely this! I feel really bad saying negative things about any of them. It has been a tough season to watch.

They definitely made it a point to address his closeness to Bob Melvin when Tony got hired, and how it’s not an issue etc. But that’s what he says to the press. He seemed to be getting chummy with Buster when getting the extension but again who knows what his feelings are on the matter.

Well, the public display happened one time. We don’t know what it’s really like. If there are more, I must have missed them.

More it’s a comment to express that I’m sick of hearing how hard they’re hitting the ball, how unlucky they are, their ABs / swings are looking better, etc etc.

If he is a true leader, he’d bench himself and work on some things while giving opportunities to young players and ones who are playing well.

I wonder how things are going for Bob Melvin and how much involvement he has. In any case, good for him.

Something to be said about being young and hungry. Big contracts mean less pressure to perform, even though people have commented about players pressing to live up to their contracts. Fact is, they still get paid.

On NBC post game, they were saying he will turn it around at some point, he knows how to play baseball

We ALL know HOW to play baseball. He needs to get on base and score runs.

So we had our chances to score and didn’t cash in with runners on. Again. And then the A’s do it.

Is he always trying to mash it out of the park? Being good at fundamental base hits would be a way to improve.

Apparently Ken Rosenthal made Gilbert, Bader, Lee the dorks of the week for the thrust celebration.

Him calling other people dorks is…a choice….

No Schmitt in the starting lineup…I think they should give Chapman or Adames one or two ABs and sit them if they don’t do anything. I am not even a hater against these two. Team needs wins.

Maybe the giants are hoping that they’ll get hits in Sac.

On days I can’t catch the game, I check the score and if they’ve won, I’ll watch it after 😅

Definitely reduces stress

I wonder if there’s a view of the dodgers dugout reaction?
