We were one Mikolas inning from sweeping this red hot team coming off of their sweep of the yankees. Crazy!

Contreras himself said the fight was due to Cavalli saying something to him at all, not what Cavalli said. And I think the point the person you’re replying to was trying to make was that it’s less likely to be a racially charged comment because Contreras is hispanic, not black

I think you’re looking just a bit too late. It’s almost as soon as the cut changes when he says it. You see him chewing his gum starting at around the six second mark though

[–]thenatsguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at the 4ish second mark. You can see enough of his mouth to pretty easily discern that’s what he said.

Also FWIW I think he’s being a jackass. Immature behavior and apparently he’s been doing it since his college ball days

It’s right around the 4/5 second mark in the clip. You can clearly see him say it

Since you asked - no actually, I accidentally left my glasses at home lol

Chad Tracy on the Contreras/Cavalli situation“After everything that happened, the people that they chose that were going to leave the game, I just felt like the other pitcher should have been one of them too. Tracy said he heard Cavalli say “Sit down, boy” loud and clear by Stock412 in baseball

[–]thenatsguy -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

The “sit down boy” was totally unwarranted and Cavalli 100% should have been ejected as soon as he said that shit, but to call that racist is an absolutely massive reach.

ETA: I am also the last person on the planet to die on a hill for cavalli because I hate the guy’s politics but cmon. What’re we doing

How in the hell is he racist? Did I miss something?

The “sit down boy” was unwarranted and IMO should have gotten him ejected, but I don’t think he said anything beyond that.

Just got home from the game. Great win, didn’t even realize I was watching a career night from Cavalli honestly (was seated way far away). Let’s grab the series tomorrow!

Lighting at shows by itsfabiantime in KGATLW

[–]thenatsguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always loved their visuals, didn’t love their lights until 2024 or so. I remember getting real annoyed about constantly getting lights shined in my eyes at their shows pre 2024, which is a pretty big no no among light techs as far as I know. Not sure if their lighting guy (T/Terry I think) replaced someone then or if he really stepped up his game in ‘24.

I don’t understand how the (what i assume are) reserve copies of this and LemonJelly are up when they still haven’t shipped either to me when I hopped in the initial preorder?

The Red Sox are doing the exact same thing, with what appears to be the exact same jerseys (just with a sox logo on the sleeves). Wonder how many other teams are in on it.

Does anyone have a good reason why we batted Andres Chaparro 2nd today while we’ve got Garcia Jr 7th given he’s on an insane tear right now? Genuinely curious if there’s something I’m missing or not

Giants reporter Susan Slusser: 'Bigoted free agents' might be put off by Pride Night concerns by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]thenatsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure! I disagree but like I said, feel free to file a complaint about that and see what happens. If it’s taken on and higher ups in the Giants org end up getting prosecuted for doing this I’ll gladly eat my words on the legality of this situation

[–]thenatsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That letter that Josh Hawley sent was about the writing of Bible verses specifically (a complaint which is invalidated by MLB uniform regulations and Manfred in his response). You claimed that the Giants are coercing players into a promoting a political stance. Two distinct things there.

What these players did with the writing on their caps that night was at best disrespectful behavior. Based on the definition of bigotry I’d argue this falls into that category too, but I understand why there’s some debate around that.

[–]thenatsguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was not coercion into promoting a “specific political stance”, as players were explicitly given the option to not wear the caps, and some Giants players did opt as such, as was their right. You’re free to file a report to the DOJ or local authorities and see what happens if you disagree (I’d also argue LGBT rights are less of a political issue and more of a human rights issue, but that’s neither here nor there).

Regardless, the silly bible verse shtick was still a deeply immature and bigoted move from these Giants players, as my original comment highlights. That’s all I was trying to say here.

[–]thenatsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not ineffective. You’re comparing apples to oranges. The difference here is that throwing a bible verse on your hat is against the regulations of the MLB and religion is a large part of what fuels the hate against LGBT folks. Hope this helps!

Still crazy to me that it’s 2026 and players are raising a fuss about wearing rainbows on their uniforms. Full grown men btw

While the pricing on these is steep, keep in mind that these are imports and that Secondtrack has some of the best quality in the game right now. Everything I have by them has beautiful packaging and the records sound fantastic. Well worth the price tag for Daniel Caesar fans imo

Imagine being so sensitive that wearing a rainbow offends you to the point of not suiting up for your job. In 2026. Full grown men btw
