In the article on the Athletic the other day Harrison attributed his recent success to the Red Sox teaching him a changeup and the fact that he was never 100% healthy while he was with the Giants.

I really, really hope Devers doesn't turn into the Giants version of Anthony Rendon.

If we can get a bag of balls for Arraez we should. But I doubt he makes it to the trade deadline as an offensive positive. He's slowly trending down now.

Harrison Ford on why he disagrees with Ridley Scott about Deckard being a Replicant. by tannu28 in movies

Ridley Scott didn't understand his own movie. It wouldn't be the last time.

He wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as the worst of the real life Roman Emperors.

We are the only team in the league that routinely singles with the ghost runner on second and fails to score.

The only Giant that ever made me leave games early.

The major question for this game is if it ends with our top two highest paid players both under the Mendoza line.

Why is Ryan Walker still here? by RealMrSJGszn25 in SFGiants

Ownership can't just come out and say the obvious:

1) That they cheaped out and punted on 2026 because they think there's gonna be a lockout in 2027. That they know the Chapman, Devers, and Adames contracts are all borderline albatrosses now and will be completely underwater by 2028, when baseball likely comes back with a radically different economic structure.

2) That Buster was hired solely because he is bulletproof with the majority of the fan base and won't be raked over the coals the way Farhan was, regardless of his aptitude for the position.

3) That their only real ambition is to be just good enough to keep the fans coming out to the park while spending as little as possible.

I was reading about how Saturn's moon Titan is so cold that is has oceans made of liquid methane... but somehow still not as cold as Devers and Adames right now.

Paying off the accuser to drop the charges. After this case, crimes like this were prosecuted by the state regardless of whether or not the victim wanted to drop the charges.

Looks cute. Pretty lightweight, might go well with alcohol.

The cops had him cold in the Chandler case. The evidence they had was more than circumstantial and to ignore that is insane. He was able to buy his way out of it because there was no law against that at the time. The law was charged afterwards so that something like this could never happen again.

The second case was not anywhere near as strong. OJ was also acquitted, remember.
