. . . for football anyway. Hoping we still try to get O line help, but this team looks to be in better shape than last year given the talent that left the building and the money that went with them. They have shed a lot of contracts desite last year being a rebuild year. Turns out the parity that is so prevalent and the young guys we drafted recently turned out pretty well, and we were amazingly TWO wins from the big prize. And I don’;’t doubt for a second that had we somehow beat Seaettle, NE would have been a walk.
Every year is different, and this year we seem to have done well getting some depth along the D line, linebacker, CB, and WR. But we are still thin at safety, the O line, and just the usual curiosity around the RB position. For some reason, the Mac Jones trade never materialized. My guess is we wanted too much. And why not? No reason to be desperate to get rid of him. You never know if our QB gets hurt again (fixthefuckingolinepleaseforthemillionthgoddamntime), and beyond that, if someother big name goes down (Stafford/Goff) Jones could pop back up for a desperate team.

Other than that, hmmmmmm. not much in the soccer world, but 3 games in LA vs the Dodgers. They have been on a bit of a slide and we are what we are. Consistently maddeningly inconsistent. We won a series! Against a pretty solid Pirates team! And hey we brought back Mickey D from Sacto. He’s going tonight.
Bader is in CF tonight. McD is SP, Schmitt at 1b Devers DH no Eldridge vs. Sasaki.
Dogs activated Betts who has been out since April 5 on IL.
Eldridge not in the LU tonight. RHP going for LA.
KNBR reporting that Vitello said this afternoon the plan is that Eldridge will play a come off the bench/PHitting role mostly this season with Devers and Schmitt playing 1b most of the time.
What the actual PHUCK ???!!!
They get Betts back and we get Bader lol hitting.115 and bench Gilbert against the RH pitcher as well? Eldridge benching makes no sense over Chapman.
And bringing up a Stiff like Tristan Gopher ball Beck another stupid move..
If they could unload Chapman somehow things would make a little more sense. Wonder how much input Buster had in this latest insanity. I assume we have a GM too but I don’t know his name.
Meaningless fact: Eldridge shares a birthday with Mantle, Marichal, Keith Hernandez and Juan Gonzalez…
It’s actually a 4 game set in LA…
