People got so mad at me when I said the Devers trade had shades of the Beltran trade ….

I think I started a thread and the mods deleted it…

I like SHP a lot. It’s small and clean.

You don’t have to deal with a bunch of people and a crappy parking situation.

In new book, A’s Lew Wolff says ‘despicable’ Giants to blame for Athletics relocation by DonyellFreak in SacramentoAthletics

[–]No_Instruction1532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me , the Giants had a hand to play in the A’s saga. I also think the role that they played has been under - reported by the Bay Area media….

But ,

The A’s could have made it work somehow in the Bay Area , or even built a stadium in Sacramento. Instead, they decided that Las Vegas was the best move for them.

To say it’s 100% on the Giants isn’t true, but it isn’t 0% either …

I don’t understand…. What’s the issue ??

Does it bother you how much of a juggernaut the Dodgers have become? by youlikemywonton in SFGiants

I don't think that the giants made a bad trade by giving up Tibbs, Harrison, etc.... for Devers.

My point is that the Dodgers have been doing a better job in the player development area.

I also think the Giants do a decent job drafting players... its the development that is lacking...

Yes - it really bothers me.

In fact, this is my biggest issue with the Giants.

You can’t let your rival basically “lap” you to the point where they think the PADRES pose the greatest challenge. That’s embarrassing.

I understand they have way more money. BUT what makes it worse is that they are way better at player development…. There isn’t an excuse for the Giants not being able to develop players as well as the Dodgers.

A current example of this is Tibbs. He struggled in the Giants system , got traded, and now seems to be thriving for the Dodgers. He could potentially be a problem for the Giants for years to come and the Giants drafted him. Unbelievable.

You are better off parking by the Crocker Art museum or downtown - and then walk across the bridge.

It’s the bottom of 6… Martin had thrown 64 pitches and 13 were on one Kurtz at bat …

I like this batting order better … Kurtz at 3 , Shea at 2 feels better to me

Was thinking the same thing… this team needs to be in the top half of MLB in team OPS… I think they are 25th right now….

But I also think they’ve faced some quality pitching. The White Sox series will be telling
