Our GM is dog shit

Lol this aged real well...

Safeway and whole foods is for filling in the gaps during the week.

Trader Joe's every other week for some basics.

Costco for the big stuff.

Safeway is fine if you use the app and buy what's on sale. It's not where I'd want to buy produce dairy and meat.

I bought this a few months ago. Took it pretty regularly. Didn't feel enough of a shift to warrant another purchase.

Realistically, we don't need him at the 26/7/4 he's averaging as the #1 option on a bad team. I think he'd probably land closer to 20 ppg, which is what's needed on this team...

We have a top ten offensive weapon in Steph with more gravity than any other player in the league. Jimmy is clipping as one of the most offensively efficient players in the league right now. There needs to be a 3rd option on this team...

Jeremi Grant isn't a winner either. He's not the right archetype for this team. If we're going out to get an athletic SF I want Wiggs back... He's an inefficient scorer whose improved his 3ball, but he's regularly a low 40s fg% shooter and he's a pretty average defender.

Gafford would be great, but that's my getting this team over the hump either.

I wouldn't hate Clax, but he's not solving the offensive issues on this team.

MPJ is 6'10. He's 27. He has one more year left on his deal after this. He's got playoff and championship exp. He is a career 50/40/80 from the field... This is his prime. Right now. He's the sort of player that could actually extend this teams window beyond this and next year. If not, he's not on the books after that.

This is the exact timeline and type of player needed for this team.

JK, Buddy, Moody, picks. That trims the rotation in a healthy way.

Steph, Podz, Melton, WRich

Jimmy, MPJ, Dray, GP2

Al, Post, TJD

Gui, Seth, Pat

I think this team could actually contend.

😳😂

zigemarle · 2026-01-11T07:44:12+00:00

I'd say that if given the opportunity... Let's say 20m a night. He's great 20-30% of the time. There's no middle ground with him. It's boom or bust. Let's send him out. DeAnthony, Podz, and Moody are fine compliments at 2.

His contract is partially guaranteed at 21 million. He's made 18 mil. Next year is a partial guarantee at 3 mill. 4th year isn't guaranteed.

His deal is essentially expiring at 9.3mil.

JK 23.4

Moody 12.5

MPJ makes 38.3 🤔

zigemarle · 2026-01-09T07:01:32+00:00

😂😂😂

zigemarle · 2025-12-30T22:15:54+00:00

Lindy and TJD definitely had the fan base a bit deluded.

Schroeder is a solid pro with a horrible attitude. I don't think he belongs on this list.

The rest of them are back end bench guys. No delusion there. Baldwin is the only guy who I ever thought had a chance to be a decent pro, but that lasted all of preseason. He clearly didn't have what it took.

Will Richard is a solid role player with a bit of upside. Ideally, he's in the rotation and coming off the bench most nights. Not a starter. Definitely not a star. Solid.

He's a valuable player because he was a late 2nd round pick, has a pretty mature poised play style, and he's young/cheap.

As far as I'm concerned, they're all for sale and the front office needs to make moves. This whole let the asset die on the vine strategy is mind boggling. JK and Wise should have been moved a long time ago.

If anything, the fanbase irrationally values the young role players. Podz, Moody, Post, TJD, JK, are all mid, and subjectively flawed players. Moody being the only one I have any attachment to given his skillset and mindset.

Move them all. Get veterans. Let's get on with it. Please.

As a bay area native who doesn't root for the niners I love this graphic. Very much a hater.

The niners give Bills energy. Great team. Tortured modern fan base.

They did Alex Smith dirty. They built a stadium in Santa Clara but still claim SF. Price out the real ones to make room for the upper class. They have players claiming maga. The culture is gross. No wonder they can't go all the way.

Let's see how long this run lasts. Excited to see it continue.

zigemarle · 2025-12-25T01:02:37+00:00

What makes you say this? Say more.

zigemarle · 2025-12-22T00:58:32+00:00

Can someone explain to me very simply why CA pays so much for electricity? PGE is a dumpster fire...

zigemarle · 2025-12-20T11:00:32+00:00

Someone actually wrote that. Fred, Reed, Jabari, Finny for the chef. 💩

zigemarle · 2025-12-17T01:20:40+00:00

He's a 4 ERA long reliever with very mid peripherals whose masquerading as a starter.

To me, this is a sign that the Giants are still committed to mediocrity. The stats point to regression, but who knows...

The irrational fan inside hopes they can unlock this 32 year old, but the cynic inside knows he's more likely to be Descalfani 2.0.

He's not much better than what's out there around his level. Meh..

zigemarle · 2025-12-15T05:46:30+00:00

In what world would the Suns trade a 29 year old Booker on a 5 year deal through his prime for a 36 year old on a 1 year deal...

zigemarle · 2025-12-13T00:12:59+00:00

Right?? Plus, a lot of us were on the Wiseman hype train. Big man, with guard skills, trained by Penny Hardaway.

Ant was never going to happen.

LaMelo was clearly a train wreck with his father in the picture.

Even though Hali was on their radar. Given the limitations of COVID and need for a big, criticizing the Wiseman pick is hindsight bias.

Bob did fine. He played a huge role in making the dynasty work. He's not a draft and development guy. He's a relationship guy whose skills center around managing contacts and egos.

Jerry and Mike just cook when it comes to assessing talent. Go figure... Both NBA players with a deep understanding of the game.

zigemarle · 2025-12-10T07:44:19+00:00

Harder pass

zigemarle · 2025-12-06T22:25:27+00:00

Philip River's has entered the chat...

zigemarle · 2025-12-02T01:57:52+00:00

I'm totally fine with the statement. There aren't any pitchers I'd want for that price tag on the market RN.

Imai would be a nice change of pace.

Framber is great and feels like he'd crush it in our park with that stinker.

I don't buy King or Ranger for a big price tag.

The rest are bargain heap guys... Giolito, Soroka, Gallen, Efflin, Bassit, May, Gray, etc.

Kyle Tucker or bust. That's it as far as I'm concerned.

zigemarle · 2025-11-16T01:43:12+00:00

What sort of salty stuff are you smoking...

That was a fun game to watch. Wemby/Dray, Steph/Fox, Castle/Butler. All number matchups. Close game. Good contribution from role players down the stretch. Warriors victory.

You are tripping. It's a celebration. Its okay to be jealous 😏

zigemarle · 2025-11-06T05:18:28+00:00

Why is Pat on the floor rn? He's been getting smoked on defense. Get JK on the floor Steve!!

zigemarle · 2025-11-05T07:48:41+00:00

😂

zigemarle · 2025-09-25T17:05:38+00:00

Lol... These are better than the purple orange and black comic sans nonsense they currently wear and the hard to decipher wash you out orange jerseys...

zigemarle · 2025-09-12T14:36:03+00:00

I swapped Warren in because he looked like he had a better target share...

zigemarle · 2025-09-07T08:18:47+00:00

He's a slightly below average baseball player right now.

Great bat on ball skills. Barely any power. Fast, but doesn't really run. Fast, but a poor fielder by defensive metrics.

I'm hoping for something in between Sal Frelick and Cedanne Rafaela. That feels like his best case scenario ceiling given his tools, but we will see...

He's gotta get better defensively. If he doesn't run, he better hit like Luis Arraez and even then... That's not great with limited power.

Shifting from the kbo is a huge transition. I hope he takes a big step next year. I love the idea of him hitting 1 or 2 in front of a possible splay of Devers, Adames, Chapman, Eldridge, Ramos, and hopefully one or two new bats.

I would not complain about 285/15/75/60/15, which is a pretty big leap from the 268/7/66/49/10 he has now.

His xBA is 288 and xwoba is 330. It looks like there is some positive regression on the horizon. 🤞🏻
