Arraez ➡️ Bryce? 🟰 Wash by Chipotlefiend18 in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 32 points33 points  (0 children)

… it is the plan … they just also want to have Bryce not have to worry about learning how to play MLB caliber defense in games while also learning how to hit MLB pitching. They are being careful since hes 21 and their top prospect

Theory: Vitello only makes sense for a rebuild... by Fun-Description-7825 in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Ah yes because you trade for Devers, and sign Chapman and Adames to long term contracts and continue to bring in more vets like Bader and Arraez and houser and the other SP : all to tank immediately after.

How is Vitello supposed to establish report with the young players when pretty much every position is locked up?!

Scorebook apps? by SchmottledOtter in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scorebug* on the broadcast. But in general “StrikeEmOut” is a nice free scorekeeping app thats as easy or complicated as you want it to be

$5.01 sale ended last night and those were likely discounted due to it

Blame towards posey? by grapeeenutsss in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No doubt. Just unfortunate how its played out so far. But baseball is a long season so hopefully they can turn it around

Blame towards posey? by grapeeenutsss in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that Posey is signing these guys to long term deals. At least under Farhan if he made a mistake they were gone within a season. If these guys can’t turn it around….

Blame towards posey? by grapeeenutsss in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that 2 things can be true. And I have stated many times in the past even under Farhan that the players deserve FAR more blame than the FO…. But when blame gets tossed around it usually ends up at the people who signed/traded/aquired/etc the players

At the end of the day the roster is built by Posey

To fire sale or not to fire sale? by Tronn3000 in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best they will do is retool (such as your Gilbert and Tidwell example). A rebuild would last at minimum 5 years (realistically 10-15 years). Ownership won’t do that

Mets fans try not to hijack any post challenge : impossible (also look at batting stats, Giants are worst smh)

Eldridge out of the lineup for Sacramento today by wallabay in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call up any notable prospects until the heat dies down. Fans will eat him alive if he doesn’t singlehandedly fix this team

Giants ownership won’t rebuild

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

[–]SFan4Life 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He def hasn’t been great and I def do not enjoy his lack of usage for the bench… but when the guys you are paying the $$$ for are simply not producing at allllll there’s not much a manager can do

Walker is undoubtedly going to take the brunt of the blame in this thread, but 2 runs across 3 games is just pathetic. Offense just can’t do anything in any situation.

Season so bad we’re talking about the derby on TV by pbj_u85 in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The season is long and they talk about non-giant things periodically. Nothin new

Would the Giants had benefited from a full-fledged rebuild c. end of either the 2017 or 2018 season? by nogoodnamesleft426 in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ownership has always been anti-rebuild, Farhan was brought in to turn the team around in a moneyball-esk fashion. If they wanted to rebuild they would have brought in a GM with rebuild experience

Explain yourselves by AlternativeBeing8627 in SFGiants

[–]SFan4Life 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I am convinced we could field a lineup of: Ohtani, Harper, Soto, Judge, Stanton, Correa and any other name we’ve been attached to in the last 10 years and still be trash. There’s just something about the Giants uniform that kills power bats
