The Giants are hitting the IR in mid-season form as Mitch Haniger, Brandon Crawford, Luis Gonzalez, David Villar, Ronald Guzman, Marco Luciano, and Thomas Szapucki are all dealing with injuries. Haven’t seen much of spring training from the Giants, but they have 16 days to get healthy.
I think these are all fairly mundane, except for Mitch Haniger. Oblique injuries are hard to gauge, but we will see.
In other news, Jimmy Garoppolo is taking his football and rowing his boat across the Bay to Oakland, uh, Vegas, as the love, hate, love relationship is finally over. At least on this side of the Bay. The Raiders are essentially trading out of Carr’s $37 million and saving $15 mill as they pay Jimmy $22 mill. Even with Jimmy G instead of Carr, offense shouldn’t be their problem. They will win or (probably) lose because of their defense. Lack thereof.
Aaron Rodgers is apparently serious about the Jets so we will see how that works out. That would be something different anyway. And the Niners signed Sam Darnold.
Here’s to hoping he never sees the field.
Forty Niners Forever 
Got
To go with DBs as well
Sergio Romo for a 1 day contract? Not sure how effective he is anymore.
Oh Sergio will just pitch in the Bay Bridge Series and walk into the sunset with his well earned 3W/S rings! Forever a Giants! Never can forget that BP fastball freezing Miggy in Detroit for strike 3 and his fuck yeah pounding his chest!!
Class act move by the Giants organization bringing him back for a day..,
I don’t think I have ever seen a 0-0 tie game before. Interesting.
Anybody’s March Madness Bracket took a hit with 15 seed Princeton knocking off 2 seed Arizona?
Back 30-40 years ago this rarely happened, but now any seed can knock off anyone!
PS…Arizona now has the dubious unwanted NCAA record of being the only team losing to a 15 seed twice. Losing to Santa Clara led by PG Steve Nash back in 1993..
A little snipit from the Athletic
5. Hargrave has an awesome nickname.
We live in an era of bland monikers. Talanoa Hufanga is Huf. Tashaun Gipson Sr. is Gip. Brandon Aiyuk is BA. Rinse. Repeat. Yawn.
Hargrave, however, has a fantastic sobriquet — Gravedigger. When he was growing up, his friends used to call him “Grave” due to the last syllable of his surname, which is standard nickname protocol.
At South Carolina State, his defensive coordinator started calling him Gravedigger for the speed at which he took quarterbacks to the ground. Hargrave said he began using the moniker for his Instagram account and it stuck when he went to the NFL. It doesn’t hurt that Gravedigger has had 40 1/2 sacks since.
(In fairness, we should point out that there’s another exception to the blah nickname trend. Tyshun Samuel’s nickname is so perfect that hardly anyone calls him Tyshun.)
I just pray are new Javon Gravedigger Hargrove turns out better than are last one Steven “GraveDuggar “ Duggar from the SF Giants..
Gravedigger is now a Dodger. Doubt he sticks.
New thread is up.
