this team is magic this year.
they were down four going into the 9th inning. D-backs removed their starting pitcher who was dominating and the Giants came back to win. oh yeah, someone named Kris Bryant starting the came back and scored the extra run in the 10th to win it.

They were already halfway there last year, with a lineup hitting the snot out of the ball in the shortened season but lacked pitching/bullpen depth and Buster Posey.
Also, plate discipline. So much plate discipline.
― octobeard, Friday, 6 August 2021 04:22 (two years ago) link
there is something special going on this year
the Giants are playing the Brewers and they have faced some of the best pitchers i have seen this year: Burnes, Woodruff and their bullpen. Giants were down by one in the ninth and somehow tied the score (it was unbelievable). in the 10th they scored three runs but the Brewers came back and scored three runs to tie the score, it was a gut punch but this is 2021. in the 11th the Giants scored four runs to finally end the game.
Kris Bryant 3-4

Yeah they are like perma locked in. The defensive flexibility and depth make them like a mesh network team. It's incredibly fun to watch, and it's reminiscent of the EYBS teams postseason play but all year.

games are getting more and more intense. not sure why the Mets manager took out Walker but this was not a good game by the Giants. the Giants needs five outs to get out of a bases loaded ninth but they did. i might say this was one of their flatter games but somehow still won.

The only thing that would bring me down this year is if the Giants lose to the Dodgers in the postseason and/or the Bums win it all again.
This season is already found money (I mean they sit at 85 wins right now... a total that I would have considered amazing progress if they ended that way). They have a top 10 farm now. Tons of money coming off the books. Possibility of signing Bryant. Proven elite hitting can happen at 24 Willie Mays Plaza without the roids. I can go on. They should be competitive for some time now and the best Faidi years are still ahead. I don't see them pulling off a WS win this year since the starting pitching is completely unreliable outside of Webb, but they could get close.
Padres have had a classic case of "celebrating at half time" a la the Falcons in the Super Bowl and a ton of injuries. They can still sneak in and grab a Wild Card spot though. They remind me a bit of the 2nd half 2016 Giants but with 1000% more hubris. Until they win something that hubris will only hinder them. Perhaps they need to lose more before they truly can pull one out, a la the Dodgers.

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.”

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.

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.

2 year deal with an opt out though. Win now situation, which is weird to say about this team.
