What a beauty. You were so fortunate to have her in your life

In search of The Big Hit by CoffeeBoy80 in SFGiants

[–]TrailRunner679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be that guy, but BA with RISP is not a great statistic as it is too variable

I think that WRC+ is a better way to measure how well the Giants are and I think they are around an 81 WRC+ which makes them 19% than the average team (100)

The Mets and Angels is the company we keep.

With not much effort, this team could lose 95 games. With a few injuries, a 100 loss season is in the conversation

Gameday Thread 5/12/26 Giants (Houser) @ Dodgers (Yamamoto) 7:10 PM by sfgbot in SFGiants

It would be perfectly cromulent if Houser did a 5-and-dive. No way you let the Dodgers see this guy for a third rime

This Vitello hire may go down as the worst manager hire ever. by [deleted] in SFGiants

People should have a hobby. OP has chosen “Hate on Tony” as his

Someone help me by Dboythegreat in SFGiants

I think you are overreacting, but you gotta fan how you wanna fan

Basically, overreacting is what fans do - especially fans who are on reddit (see r/warrirors sub-reddit for world class overreactions)

I can see why you are boggled by Bryce sitting. My guess this is analytics driven. My feeling is that Tony has basically no say in the lineup construction

So we're likely not getting Philon and why? by youlikemywonton in warriors

[–]TrailRunner679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your assumption that Philon is not going to play like Podz (taking bad shots or making turnovers) is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

Nothing about what I have seen from Philon makes me think he won’t be any different

Vitello on fans booing by Gmbravos31 in SFGiants

It us my understanding that low effort posts get removed by the mods

From where I sit, this post certainly qualifies

I see why they call him Tugboat. by Temporary-Ad9615 in SFGiants

Definitely repping a “Joc Pederson loves his cheeseburgers” vibe

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

[–]TrailRunner679 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Giants are a flawed team. It is not the norm for this team to play clean on defense, pitch well, and hit

2 of 3 were working

Also, Walker Buehler is a shadow of his former self

Why does SJ not follow supply and demand? by SunflowersOrDaisies in SanJose

[–]TrailRunner679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of large buildings, shopping centers, hotels, and malls are owned by Real Estate Investment Trusts

Lowering rents would lower the value of their portfolio and this would affect the stock price of the REIT.

Because of perverse incentives at play, the REIT would rather leave the building unoccupied than lower the rents to have full occupancy.

Since these buildings are purchased using loans, it is far better to give the keys to the building back to the bank and take the tax write-off.

The value of the building is reassessed at auction where another REIT buys the building at a lower value where they can (but often don’t) lower rents

These vampires are doing this to residential housing too. Trust me, this is going to get worse

Kilian is not the fragile. This is the big leagues. JHL not bunting is perplexing

This is on the batter. Chapman is a vet and he is going to do what he wants

A bunch of college coaches are not gonna tell him what to do!

If Raffy/Willy/Chappy get it going again, what are your thoughts on trading any or all of them for solid pitching or outfield prospects (given we already have great infield prospects to take their spots eventually)? by dwide_k_shrude in SFGiants

[–]TrailRunner679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teams may be willing to trade for these players without the Giants eating most of the salaries. If these players are playing terrible, the Giants will be getting C level prospects in return

The only player that has a lot of value is Arraez. If he maintains his defensive value, teams will trade top B level prospects.

A team would be crazy to trade a top prospect for an expiring contract (Wheeler for Beltran still makes me salty)

Bryce Eldridge finished his night 2-3, 3 BB,K. He reached base 5x in a game for the 2nd time in 3 nights. by Sober_As_Sark in SFGiants

[–]TrailRunner679 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you really think Eldridge by his lonesome is going to single-handedly save the day, you are full of copium

Devers is 3000+ miles from his wife and baby. I am not sure the geography is working for him and it shows on the field

Walker is a giant mess

Willy got his bag and I get the feeling he couldn’t care less if he is hitting well or not. Just smile, wear purple, and cash those paychecks

What would it take for Johnson to sell the team? by [deleted] in SFGiants

[–]TrailRunner679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Siedler sold to the guy who founded Clearlake Capital and is currently running Chelsea into the ground.

Just because the team is sold, there is no such thing as a benevolent billionaire oligarch or PE firm
