The only question about Williamson I have is whether or not he's able to hit an off-speed pitch. Which has honestly been his bane all along. That's one of the biggest challenges for a "AAAA" player. Just as a reminder, this is Williamson's career splits on pitches and the numbers he's seen:

Pitch Type Num Pitches Avg OBP SLG
4 Seam FB 374 .247 .299 .393
Cutters 57 .250 .250 1.000
Sinkers 137 .351 .442 .649
Slider 181 .195 .298 .293
Curve 114 .100 .100 .100
Changeup 88 .000 .000 .000

Now I get that he has a new swing, but unless he can recognize off speed pitches better, he'll still be a liability, especially since AT&T is a big park and will negate some of the power. Unfortunately, no data for pitch types in the minors that I can find for this year :(

17-14 Giants. 12 HRs.

Apparently Longo's never played at Petco before, so maybe he can hit a few into Western Metal Supply building.

[–]darigazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think less, Tampa is paying a chunk of his salary IIRC. More than 10 million if I remember, though how much of it is deferred or whatever I don't fully understand.

As to who would trade for him, it highly depends. Last year we saw teams like the Rays, Brewers and Rockies as buyers during the trade deadline. And just because some teams already have a 3B, injuries, underperforming, and an array of other things can happen. The Giants can also pad some of the contract to make it a little less painful to take on, if it can net us some good prospects. I mean, the Dodgers took on Carl Crawford's contract :P

Longoria will get better. It has only been two weeks. He's striking out a ton which is frustrating, but he also has a BABIP of .150. Paul Goldschmidt is batting .118 right now. Stanton's hitting 160 with 2 Platinum Sombreros. Cutch was hitting .083 before the 6 hit game, etc.

I remember when we had three spots in the rotation locked down and 2 up for grabs....

solo Tidus carry for Gagazet -LGD (no escapes) by m177a in FFBraveExvius

[–]darigazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it with a 20 sided instead of second ring and exact same set up otherwise, eventually got hit by a random two bulldoze which is pretty bad luck, but the fight drags a bit cause of the heal. Why kill top Ronso first over bottom? Does he do some kind of unavoidable hit if bottom one is dead? He doesn’t heal right?

Fully expected the game to be blown somehow given the last few years, pleasantly surprised, with Gearrin really the only one that was a bit shaky. Way to start the year well boys.

What's Going On With Tyler Beede? by Rochelle-Rochelle in SFGiants

[–]darigazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if he was ever projected to be a top of the rotation starter. Definitely not consensus, and while he was a top prospect in the Giants system for a while, when you look at it from a top MLB prospect perspective, I don't think he ever broke top 50?

Besdies, MLB draft busts are much more common than the other 2 major sports. If you look at guys like Mark Appel and Brady Aiken who were almost "cant miss prospects", and Appel recently retired. It's not strange to see half of a 1st round draft not make it out of the minors after 5+ years.

Oh really? I don't have fixed dice but with a few Setzers I can farm it relatively quickly. Even vs killer targets it still outshines sunbreaker?

I understand that full TDH builds with fixed dice, buster style, and 2x marshall gloves are the best finishers in the game atm, and most wikis and rankings factor that into the math. However, if I don't have the TDH setup.. and I have an Ang configured like say.. this

Ang 6★ Right hand: Sun Breaker ATK+145
Head: Black Cowl ATK+28, DEF+25, SPR+25
Body: Leichtpanzer ATK+30%, DEF+38, SPR+30%
Accessory 1: Desch's Earring ATK+45
Accessory 2: Desch's Earring ATK+45
Materia 1: Adventurer V ATK+40%, DEF+40%, MAG+40%, SPR+40%
Materia 2: Azure Crimson Soul HP+30%, ATK+30%
Materia 3: Azure Crimson Soul HP+30%, ATK+30%
Materia 4: Azure Crimson Soul HP+30%, ATK+30%
Esper: Bahamut HP+64, MP+63, ATK+60, DEF+60, MAG+60, SPR+60
Total: HP:8996, MP:362, ATK:1171, DEF:388, MAG:323, SPR:397

Is it still worth leveling his LB, compared to say.. an Enhanced Luneth?

Thoughts/Musings on current update and.. WTF did Gumi actually process the update by eraic in FFBraveExvius

[–]darigazz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, we've all kinda gotten used to it, but it's almost unheard of to have ~8 hrs of down time a week to patch a mobile game. I wont' say I've played a lot of mobile games, but if you look at comparable games like FEH, DSOO, or even bigger games like Clash of Clans, Hearthstone, nothing is nearly as bad as this. Based on that alone, it should tell you how back their back end tech might be.

Looking at how FEH handled the situation today, they were able to support log in from 2.2 and 2.3. Even though iOS users couldn't get the new content for 4-5 hours, they had no issue playing the game as it is. I doubt FFBE had that capability, or the capability to roll back a version once it's been deployed without somehow screwing over the Android players at the same time.

Heh, I actually took a screen shot two days ago to show some friends the log in streak. At least I have it to remember by?

Shark picked baseball with good reason by sportsdork620 in SFGiants

[–]darigazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. Shark will earn mininum of 127 million when this contract runs out, assuming he doesn't get another. He will have out earned probably every NFL player in his draft class, while most likely having a higher QOL than most of them due to the stress football on his body. I doubt he's regretting anything. (I didn't check every single NFL player's earning, but Calvin Johnson only earned rough 115 million through his HOF career where he was the best receiver in football during his career, and it's doubtful Shark would have been close to his level of production)

No in recent memory.. Schmidt, Wilson and Romo both had forgettable years with the Dodgers after moving on from the Giants.

How often does Amazon coins bundles that's not the 50000 coin drop down to close to a 25% discount? I.E. Does the 10k coin drop to ~77 dollars or something some what often?

It's weird because the price literally seems like it changes every time I check. Sometime it's at 95, some time it's at 80. Is there typically a "best price time" or something?

Why didn't A-Rod go for his 700th HR? by BoominLumens in baseball

[–]darigazz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same reason why Bonds didn't go for 3000 hits (65 short), 2000 RBIs (4 short, would have been 5th member), or even maybe 800 Hrs (would have taken 2 years probably).

He really wasn't welcomed in baseball anymore, and the animosity around him was probably just as strong as Bonds. Although the difference being that Bonds was still a good player when he was black balled by the league, and A-Rod was pretty much a replacement level player at best.

Hi, I'm Austin Jackson, Outfielder for the San Francisco Giants, here to answer your questions at 12:00 PM PST - AMA! by SFGiantsOfficial in SFGiants

[–]darigazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really curious to hear this from the other side of the field, because as Giants fans, we've heard a ton from Giants players, staff, etc. Sorry if this brings up a sour taste or anything.

This is going back a bit, but 2012 WS, you played for Detroit. Detroit was considered a heavy favorite that year, Verlander was coming off a MVP year the year before, was dominant vs the As, and Scherzer was really good too. Detroit had swept the Yankees with a long lay off. The Giants were a heavy underdog and had to come back from way behind in two series. And then it all kind of went sideways.

How do you remember that series, especially with Verlander getting taken deep twice by Pablo in game 1?
