Stop me if you’ve heard this before but this team is once again going with backups, retreads, and late-round fliers to keep Brock Purdy upright. They have signed:
- Backup C/G Brett Toth
- Backup LT Vederian Lowe
They drafted:
- Guard C Willis in the 4th round
- Tackle E Cruz in the5th round
T Williams, Puni, McKivitz, and (urk) Brendel are starting. They have late round guys in Colby, Nugent, and Zakelj, failed tackle broken-neck UDFA Robert jones, and no-name guys Parker and Alarcon.
We have depth I guess, but Brendel is not the answer at center and we have a bunch of stiffs fighting for the LG spot.
It’s infuriating to me to see statues like Sourdough Sam Darnold and Matthew Stafford afforded 4-5 seconds to pick apart defenses while Brock Purdy runs for his life on 80% of our pass plays. The ONLY reason our sack totals were low is from Purdy’s escapability.
And far as the Giants go, I’m suffering with all you flap orphans. This team is as exciting as a wet blanket. I guess Buster really doesn’t have a budget to work with? I mean how could anyone in their right mind say this team was built to win with that pitching staff?
Funny thing is, the pitching, minus Dookie Houseturd, Bofucki, and “I got my shit together” Walker has been OK. The hitting is catastrophically bad. Esp this last roadie.
At least they called up Eldridge.

Hey there Chuck, addressing your last comment on the last thread .. we can add to the list of players you mentioned: Dubon, Harrison & … fer fucks sake ! DOM!! Who we could have had for next to nuthin’ !! Time & distance has revealed that the G’s ability to recognize talent and develop it, is wanting.
Snarkk, great “catch” about Otto Lopez. Totally forgot about that guy, now with the Marlins. You’re spot on with regard to losing winners like this Lopez, but retaining losers like Luciano for years and years.
Along with most of you, I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know it wont be resolved this season, and I hate to say it – perhaps, in several seasons, we’ll still be doing this finger pointing. Frankly, the entire organization is a conundrum. It’s making money hands over fist. The team plays in a beautiful ball park. Yet, the organization is in dissaray.
As some of us suspect, I think the problems and answers lies in ownership, specifically, Johnson Jr. Just me, but I think senility will be a fairly smooth transition for this tool.

San Francisco Giants: D-
Welcome to the major leagues, Tony Vitello. Having fun yet? The Giants just haven’t scored runs — they’re last in the majors in home runs, walks and stolen bases. They haven’t been this bad on offense since Johnnie LeMaster, Rennie Stennett and Mike Ivie patrolled the infield. President of baseball operations Buster Posey is discovering this job is a lot more difficult than calling pitches for Madison Bumgarner. Tyler Mahle and Adrian Houser, his two rotation additions, are 1-7 with a 6.49 ERA, and Harrison Bader hit .115 before getting injured. But the biggest problem has been Rafael Devers, who is supposed to be the team’s best hitter and looks completely lost at the plate. If the Giants continue to flail, it will be interesting to see if they make some of their key players available at the deadline.
How we compare to the rest of MLB:

Yeah, very telling how this staff is woefully bad at finding and developing talent. If we had the A’s scouts and GM, we’d have about 10 World Series wins in the past 25 years.
That has been going on through 4 different regimes as far as poor drafting and bringing guys up. Sabes had his run from 2005-2010 but before and after that he was merely OK. As the ownership group has slid the mantle to Charlie and now Greggie things have gotten steadily worse.
Did they shit-can Dookie Houser? Trev McDonald is getting the start tonight.
