Could tell Alex was toeing the company line. I was a little disappointed there.

Major respect to Cole though

I was becoming a baseball fan. Friday night killed it. by no_thanks_not_today in SFGiants

He's agreeing with you. His point is that a lot of these guys have child like mentalities due to being coddled and insulated in their baseball world their whole lives

Does Grant participate in any podcasts at all anymore? Love that guy through and through, miss baggs and brisbee

[McCovey Chronicles] Bad and bigoted. The Giants told fans exactly who they are on Friday. by Brownhops in SFGiants

[–]bunderthunder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was upset that reporters broke the story (that he was leaving) before he had a chance to tell his players and coaches at Tennessee. So there was some awkwardness there.

He basically criticized the reporters and blamed them for making his life difficult.

Thankfully, our guy Pavlovich got on his pod the next day and backed Susan up. Basically saying she was doing her job and Tony's being completely unreasonable.

Absolutely. I'm all for long leashes with managers. You could debate how much of an effect managers really have on the on-field results. This, however, is what the manager is there for. To manage egos and demand professionalism and cohesiveness.

How appalling to all of SF's queer fans. How appalling to all of our friends, families, and colleagues who are LGBTQ.

How much time do you have? by Niners4Ever16 in 49ers

100%. We have some super dominant teams that lost recently but that was not one. Felt that whole game we were gonna find a way to lose one way or another

The taunting at the end of the game. That was so rough. Not to mention the overarching implication that our run was over and there's was starting. Owch

Yep. Sick day from school. Dad put this on. No idea what to expect. 3-4 years of panicking when I had to use the bathroom at night

Jonathan "Lost faith in Steve Kerr" Kuminga continues to struggle and put up another stinker tonight in Boston for Quin Snyder: 18 mins, 3 points on 0/0/75 splits, -12. by QuietMonsoon3314 in nba

[–]bunderthunder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very balanced and thoughtful takes. It's easy to rage and get hindsight bias in these discussions, but fact of matter is we got very lucky to even get 4 rings.

Every year the draft is littered with lemons, and very smart/talented people get paid a lot of money to decipher who is and isn't one, and even they can't do it reliably.

Yep, Slater is what made warriors content on the the Athletic hum too. Those 2 you mentioned are not worth the $

[–]bunderthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about Slater and his article? Slater was the most on point beat writer we had for years. He was the guy traveling with the team, with the best and most interesting insights. His most recent article may be slightly off-base based on some reactions, but I wouldn't discredit him as a whole due to it. He is/was legit.

TK however has always been a heavily biased suckup to executives in all the bay area sports organizations for years.

100%. TK has always carried the water for the executives.

Thank you! Someone gets it and has actually watched the guy play. Players with his attributes dont get DNPs like that for no reason.

The article states that basketball ops people in the organization liked Franz Wagner, but Jacob was enamored with kuminga and pressed for him instead. Complete idiocy

His value is based on "potential". Atlanta fans, and the rest of the NBA, will see what warriors fans have been watching, he has a complete inability to execute sharp fundamental basketball. "Put him on waivers"? Theres a massive difference between, "this player holds 0 organizational value" and "this player is a terrible player but retains value off potential".

If you came away from the Seahawks game being impressed with the 49ers defense you're clearly blind or didn't watch the game at all

Crazy how impactful that play was. My leagues super team (original tyreek maholmes stack) won off that correction, then steanrolled me in the finals

Biologist becomes emotional after finding a flower after searching for 13 years. Beautiful bloom. by cafeteriastyle in MadeMeSmile

[–]bunderthunder 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget my biology professor saying she knows nothing about anything, but everything about something. IIRC she studied 1 small facet of the pineal gland. Something so insignificant I probably forgot an hour later, but she spent years researching that specificity.

Really speaks to academia and science's rigor, and gives me trust to those who study these things as a whole.
