To be fair the middle part is not Webb but ran along the same line.

Baggs came out SWINGING
So why was Kapler fired on Friday afternoon, with three games and one more season remaining on his contract? Why did he become the first San Francisco Giants manager in 38 years to be relieved of his duties, ending a run of remarkable franchise stability when it came to the industry’s most volatile occupation?Because the Giants didn’t win enough. Why didn’t the Giants win enough? Because their roster didn’t have nearly enough talent or continuity. Why didn’t their roster have enough talent or continuity? Maybe because Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi operated with blind spots that have been so large at times that you wondered who ripped off the side mirrors.

Nice tribute to BCraw here. As far as I know he hasn’t confirmed retirement yet but he surely must be doing so, right?Looking for a clip of the 2012 WS game 3 clip Vogelsong mentions but in the meantime:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh7PMk365YwI remembered this one, ball deflected off Cain, didn’t miss a beat, beautiful barehand grab and throwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tUMATbO78IOh yeah, here’s the game 3 play! The ball breaks the bat with how hard Miggy hit it, incredible catch reallyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZSQhQWunHYhttps://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/34/51/22/24286368/3/900x0.jpg
Former pitcher Ryan Vogelsong: “The 2012 postseason sums up everything the guy has done in his career. He played absolutely unbelievable defense throughout the playoffs, and things he did offensively were exactly what we needed at the time, stuff that might’ve gotten overlooked in his career. Some of my favorite Craw plays were in the World Series in Detroit, a couple of diving plays in the freezing cold and rain. You just saw everything the man could do, going to his backhand, up the middle, behind the mound. My favorite play that I ever saw him make was Game 3 when Timmy (Lincecum) came in relief and broke Miguel Cabrera’s bat, and Craw made a diving, acrobatic play up the middle and sidearmed his throw to first. The fact it was 32 degrees made it pretty incredible, too.”

Ohtani or Yamamoto but probably neither as everyone hates San Francisco these days. Lee would be nice too.

The writing has been on the wall for Bart but still a bit sad for the second overall pick. I wish him well.
Thanks for the scouting report on Tom Murphy, a hitting catcher is becoming more and more rare. So it sounds like a good backup for Bailey.

I…didn’t take that from that. Charles Johnson is insanely wealthy. He could easily afford to spend more on the team if he felt like it, instead of contributing to Christian fundamentalist super PACs or whatever the fuck he does with his money. Have the Giants actually landed a top free agent since Bonds?Also, the Belt mention at the end stung because they paid Joc twice as much to be half as good and to hang out in the clubhouse playing cards. Will forever hate the decision to let Belt walk.

Pitchers and catchers have reported.
For me its all about one thing and one thing only, the Giants. Hope it's not as boring as last year.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 17 February 2024 02:55 (three months ago) link
Tom Murphy, Lee and Soler…that’s a lot of improvement to a bad lineup from last year.
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Saturday, 17 February 2024 03:04 (three months ago) link
The offense was a problem but I think most of it had to do with the opener or maybe no pitching.
Still the staff, so far, this year leaves a lot to be desired.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 17 February 2024 03:20 (three months ago) link
Still very excited for this year, as there is nothing like Baseball!

https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/j-d-davis-placed-waivers-giants/1711179/
Davis now can be claimed by another organization, with the Giants getting only salary relief. Last year's starting third baseman is owed $6.9 million this season after beating the Giants in an arbitration hearing last month, but because he went to a hearing, the Giants can potentially release him and pay a prorated portion of that salary if he is not claimed.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 10 March 2024 02:05 (two months ago) link
Learning something new, so they release him and only pay a small fee.
― Bee OK, Sunday, 10 March 2024 02:06 (two months ago) link
Someone will pick him up. I’d be really surprised if the Mariners don’t try for him.
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Sunday, 10 March 2024 02:14 (two months ago) link
No one picked up JD Davis and so the Giants released him saving almost six million. Nice move Zaidi, the Giants already had a rough time signing players and this will definitely help.

Can't believe they're replacing Renel Brooks-Moon. So weird. She's been their announcer as long as I've lived here.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 18 March 2024 22:11 (two months ago) link
Yeah woke up to that news and it's been bugging me all day. Her voice is pure joy and a major texture that contributes to the great experience of going to the park. This feels either petty or cheap - I can't really be convinced of any other motive here. It also shows how completely out of with the fans the org is at this stage which isn't going to help put buts in seats.

Snell to the Giants. At least some good news to distract from the bad yesterday. Rotation is legitimately one of the best in the league now. Could make some noise in the post season if they make it that far.
― octobeard, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 18:10 (two months ago) link
2 year deal with an opt out though. Win now situation, which is weird to say about this team. Would have probably preferred a 2-3 year deal to at least have some stability there, but with Ray coming back in the 2nd half and Harrison hopefully improving, perhaps Snell leaving in the off season won't be a huge concern.
