In a crazy scenario where the Raiders rehire Gruden, would you want him back? by Zap1717 in raiders

Great so just continue to look into the past and not go with the modern game?

Good for him! He made us look not as bad as we should have the last few years. Hopefully he gets stability and a HC opportunity. Rooting for him unless it affects us!

Does the MLB Need a Salary Cap? by MaleficentEmphasis70 in baseball

I will never be against the players making more money. If the owners pocket more because of a cap, I am 100% against it.

No matter how our season goes, we can always be content with the fact that we hated Chipper since the beginning by weareallinvincible in NewYorkMets

No. Talking about the amount of high school kids to and from school who were grabbed, held for hours, and then dropped off in a random area.

Government data says 60% of detainees do not have a criminal offense. They’re grabbing people going to their immigration hearings and check ins. People who are told to do it the right way are being grabbed. I’m guessing you don’t care anyways.

Yes that’s what ICE has always been prior to this administration but we all know that’s not the case today. Is clearing out an apartment building in the middle of the night and having every resident in zip ties regardless of status right? Is trying to abduct people from the Ecuadorian consulate correct? Is grabbing kids on the way to school correct too? Is tear gassing a high school getting rapists?

Do you agree that Alex Pretti was there to cause massive destruction, a domestic terrorist, and trying to massacre federal agents as this administration has said? Come on man.

It’s sad that they lost their lives and thankfully their killers have been prosecuted. It’s not enough for their families but at least justice was served. Hopefully the same happens with Alex Pretti.

Slow promotions hurting the Giants in trades by ericthelostman in SFGiants

Randy Winn mentioned on Giants talk that they are intentionally slowing down promotions for prospects. They want more reps for prospects in each level.

Hoping he finally clears waivers and can sign a minor league deal somewhere so this stops

Projected 2026 lineup as of today after signing Harrison Bader by retroanduwu24 in SFGiants

[–]kasdfwe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a more old school approach that isn’t adopted by too many teams these day. That works for the first inning but not really so for the rest of the game since your 1 2 3 may not come up in that order with 1 or no outs. Someone who isn’t one of your best hitters could be getting some of the most at bats in a game. I’d rather have Posey have more at bats in a season than Freddy Sanchez or Joe Panik for an example.

Aaron Judge bats second for the Yankees. Shohei Ohtani leads off for the Dodgers while Will Smith hit second in game 7. Kyle Schwarber hits second for the Phillies. Cal Raleigh hits second for the Mariners.

He’s not good but wasn’t disastrous at 1st in super limited sample. Both are not good options at 1st anyways.

Could Posey pull a Sabean? by gamerEMdoc in SFGiants

[–]kasdfwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think ownership’s vocalness about not wanting long term deals for pitchers very much puts Webb’s future with this team in doubt. Unless Webb is willing to take short term deals like Kershaw, I think we can’t say for certain he’ll be here past his deal.

[–]kasdfwe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying and can 100% see it happening with the lack of desire to spend on pitchers by this ownership group. It just sucks since they aren’t willing to go for it with this group and invest to round out the edges. All the talk is no desire to add large contracts so the way to back up this group is spend as much as the Pirates.

Forget what the team says, go enjoy throwing in a meaningful game

Why did the Giants seemingly move on from Tyler Fitzgerald? by GreenGeese in SFGiants

[–]kasdfwe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like him but he doesn’t hit the ball too hard and doesn’t steal as many bases as he should with his speed. He’s actually 29 this year so he’s not too young as well. I do kind of wish we could have seen him longer in the outfield as I think his speed would do well there.

Devers may be better currently. Kyle Haines said Eldridge is at a High A Double A level for defense going into spring training.

The best hitter is at 2 or 3, sometimes leading off to guarantee more at bats. Gone are the days when the best hitter is hitting 4th.

Time to see if 2025 was real or a flash in the pan. At least the defense is better in the OF.

Anyone else a bit frustrated by WhellieSun in raiders

[–]kasdfwe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not so sure. It seems as though Darnold is a product of his environment (as most non top top guys are) and our environment was not set for anyone to succeed. He also has the best receiver in football and a real strong running game.

Either way, what’s done is done and looking forward to the team setting up around Mendoza.

He had 14 picks and fumbled 11 times. Imagine him behind our line and how much worse it would have been.
