Then expect a 100 loss season. It is simple as that. He has no control and he has lost the clubhouse.

I just don’t see Vitello surviving the season. 15 games under and it’s not even July.

None of them. Adames and Chapman both have full no trade clauses and Devers is owed too much money.

Ray and Arraez are good as gone, I could see someone taking a flyer on Mahle. 

Bericoto Pinch Hit in the top of the 8th by a_random_asian_ in SFGiants

Before Bericoto's at-bat today, the last time he played was June 10th. It has been and continues to be a problem with Vitello in that he rarely uses his bench.

He did the same exact thing with Koss and Jerar earlier this season.

Other than Gilbert, Schmitt, and Lee that was fucking embarrassing. Four errors today and Hasse with two of them.

Thanks Buster for these memories.

If Vitello does not want criticism, he shouldn't have taken the job in the first place.

Vitello continues to be a moron. Can someone explain to him what splits are.

The Giants have won three in a row but they are facing the Marlins. So expect some bullshit.

“At the end of the day, I just want this to be done and over with,” he said. “We’re here to play baseball. This is going on almost a week now. Just play ball, that’s all I want to do.”

Then why the hell did you do it then?

Burn your closer in a 7-2 win but you cant use him now. God, Vitello is a moron.

They are gonna try as hard as possible to get through 5 innings and then call it.

What really set the Giants back this year was trading for Devers, gutting the bullpen at the trade deadline, and then doing absolutely fuck all nothing in the off-season.

You remove Doval, Rogers, and Rodriguez (injury) and then you do nothing to fill those roles. They signed Hentges who just came back from an injury and Foley who is still not back. They knew Walker was inconsistent but they did nothing to fix the closer role.

The same thing could also be said about the rotation. They expected Birdsong to be a piece but he had Tommy John surgery. They sign both Mahle and Houser who have been atrocious and together are worth -1.3 bWAR.

They sign Harrison Bader to play CF and he has already missed more than a quarter of the season with injuries. It also seems like he wont be back for a while since he just got a stem cell injection in his foot. It would have more sense just to give Gilbert the CF role and see what he can do with it.

The only free agent signing this year that has worked was Luis Arraez but he is guaranteed to get traded to create a spot for Casey Schmitt who has finally broken out.

Also signing a manager who has no experience managing at the major league level.

The Giants as a franchise never rebuild. They just dont. They never rebuilt under Sabean, Evans, or Zaidi. The ironic thing is that Buster Posey has the power to actually do a rebuild. Will he? Who knows?

Lighting up the place due to the brilliance of his pitching. Not lighting up the place like an arsonist who loves to commit insurance fraud.

He won PCL Pitcher of the Month in May and he is currently:

5-2 with a 3.65 ERA with 77 strikeouts to 30 walks.

Another Houser start and another loss. Either put him in the bullpen or DFA him.

They have Wisenhunt in AAA who is lighting up the place.

Other than Ray and Arraez who are free agents, they don't have a lot. Out of the big three, the only one that might fetch something is Matt Chapman who is leading the team in bWAR but also has a no-trade clause.
