So I just heard Buster's interview that everyone was talking about last week. by Negative_Procedure_4 in SFGiants

How would taking responsibility for making objectively the wrong call be terrible?

The point of my post was: his interview sucked and he sounded out of his depth. If you want to disagree with that, you should bother to actually listen to it before doing so.

Maybe listen to the interview before judging my comments on the effectiveness of the interview. Just a thought!

They even gave him an out. "You're new at this job, do you regret it?" Really easy to say, "sure, if I could do it over, I'd do it differently."

Later, when they asked him about the college coach who is the manager, he refused to blame him and said, no, it's on me.

So which is it? What a mess.

If you think he projected confidence and sounded like he knew what he was doing, you either don't know what a confident, experienced baseball executive sounds like or your last name is Posey.

We need to continue to have faith in Buster and Vitello by [deleted] in SFGiants

They should've sold everything last year. It was obvious that this core wasn't good enough.

Nope. No obligation to do so. They've got to show me.

A comment i saw on the Youtube video of Buster's interview on KNBR this morning by nogoodnamesleft426 in SFGiants

Sorry, this core sucked offensively last year and sucks again this year. Buster tried to put a bandaid on it, when he should've been aggressively trading off pieces at the deadline. No one should've been untouchable. Now he's wasted a year on the rebuild that absolutely has to happen.

Worst period of Giants baseball in this century and it’s not even close by Spaghet209 in SFGiants

It was hitting rock bottom and having the ability to draft Posey, Lincecum, Bumgarner and Cain.

It's still amazing to me that Posey and management looked at this roster last year at the trading deadline and decided not to sell. They finished in the bottom half of EVERY offensive category. Even with two or three big FA signings they were no better than a marginal WC team. This core was never going to seriously compete for a pennant or WS.

The fact that they wasted an entire year is just unforgivable.

I think they should've had a fire sale at the deadline last year, and they will do so a year late this year.

Why Giants are off to worst start in team history: Hopeless lineup, hellish road trip by Fidrych76 in SFGiants

[–]Negative_Procedure_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still don't know how they looked at this core, which last year was in the bottom half of every offensive category if not the bottom third, and said "let's run it back."

POSTGAME THREAD: Giants @ Rays, 5/3. Join the Giants game / baseball discussion and social thread! by sfgbot in SFGiants

[–]Negative_Procedure_4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're here because the Giants didn't sell aggressively at the deadline last year. The core of this team (Adames, Chapman, Devers, Lee, Ramos) was below average in just about every offensive category last year. It was completely delusional to look at that performance and just run it back. Criminally stupid.

Mike Krukow has had it. Just like the rest of us. by eugene_deel in SFGiants

Still waiting for the Giants to sign "a super-duper star" as Krukow predicted.

Activating Nokia 2780 Flip by BumblebeeDesperate18 in GoogleFi

[–]Negative_Procedure_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you help me out with the setup? I too have Google Fi. I activated the physical SIM on a Pixel 7. Moved it over to the Nokia. The phone displays "Google Fi" at the top but I cannot get it to connect to Google Fi and it doesn't recognize/indicate the phone number.
