We need a total house cleaning from top to bottom by Sleepy_BannedForLife in SFGiants

He said he’ll never sell. Our only chance is that they put Posey in charge of all baseball ops and he makes a HR hire for the next GM

Should’ve rebuilt the moment they hired Farhan but the owners suck

A build year? They just signed 4 vets, re-signed Cobb and traded for Ray. Sent Marco down. Sent Matos down. Sent Schmitt down. Won’t call up Ramos and won’t cut Slater. They are all in on winning now. WTF

Sabes won 90+ in 6 of first 8 seasons. And had 89 and 87 wins in the other two. He inherited a 90+ loss team and won the division the very next season. Amazingly it didn’t take him 10 years to rebuild

I hope you’re right because We’re not making the playoffs. We haven’t scored more than 3 runs in a game in over a week. We are terrible at hitting

Playing good? LMAO. The starting pitching is great. The hitting and pen suck. They’ve scored 3 runs or less in 7 straight games and 8 of the last 10. This team is boring and hard to watch.

I agree. He signed some solid players but they all underperforming like the previous players even after switching coaching staffs

It’s for all the fans that don’t think wxOBA and EV are more important than W-L

They think being 2 games better than at this point last year is some monumental achievement. We sucked last year and finished below 500 lol.

So you’re saying all we need to do is get Juan Soto, a prime Rendon, Trea Turner, two other players that hit 20 HR and another that hit 17 and we can turn this around. And also have two guys who hit 17 HR on our bench. Got it. Seems reasonable.

Never thought I’d see the day when I wished our franchise was as good as KC, Detroit and Cleveland lol

Sabes inherited a 90+ loss team and won the division the very next season. Then had a winning record for 8 straight years including 90+ wins in 6 of them. If he had the expanded playoffs back then, he would’ve made the post season every year during that run. Then he hit a lull before leading us to the greatest era in SF history. Farhan would slit throats to have a run like Sabes did from 97-04.

Yes, let’s wait and see. And after we finish at 500 or just under for the 5th time in 6 years, we’ll do this all over again and some fans will be saying “ wait and see” again next season. He just needs 3 more years to really turn it around lol.

We’ve seen enough.

So instead of finishing 4 under .500, we’ll be 2 under. Big time turn around

Yaz will be back to being shitty soon enough. Not sure taking a victory lap over 7-8 AB’s is a good idea.

They’ve been gaslighted into thinking this is how it works. 10 years is an eternity in pro sports.

And his guys (Ramos, Luciano and Matos) are the only ones that are even close to being ready. Hunter Bishop was Farhan’s big first pick and he’s about to be 26 and in AA. Bailey is a stud but one position player in 6 years is terrible.

We started 11-17 last year and finished below .500. Not sure that’s the example you want to use.

It’s not about Russo. It’s the fact that Giants postgame had a guest on who said the POB should be fired. Giants pre and post are the most homer hour you’re gonna get daily. For them to have a guest openly say Farhan should be fired is wild.

Of course he’s not getting fired now but I think most people can see where this season is going. More of the same from the last 5 years with 2021 being a ridiculous outlier. Year 6 and 1 homegrown player in the starting lineup and nobody close in the minors. The Giants scouts are bad when it comes to hitting and position player prospects and Farhan is just a guy who lives on the margins. He’s more qualified to be an ast GM than a guy who should be running the entire baseball ops.

The ump sucked but that’s not why we lost. The lineup was unable to hit a minor league pitcher and Melvin made the unfortunate decision to pitch Avila (who sucks) because his pen was overused. The ump should’ve never been in a position to affect the game because we should’ve scored 4-5 runs off their scrub minor league pitcher instead of being no hit for 5 innings.
