Dr. Jeckyll, Meet Mr. Hyde

Consistently inconsistent really seems to be the MO of this team. Not sure what they can do about it but here we are struggling to crawl to .500 while beating great teams and tripping over our dicks on those same teams. Having a blast so far. Made it to Tofino after being everywhere in these last 5 days.

    That didn’t take long for Mahle to give up the lead..
    And now without Ramos/Lee how can they compete with an outfield of Brennan (.O67) Gilbert/Bader and emergency only Rodriguez (Seriously out there won’t cut it)..Atleast starting Schmitt though inexperienced in LF gives you some punch.

    • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

      Giants today have to be fielding one of the worst OFs in MLB for overall talent. It’s pathetic that one decade from the last playoff appearance (2016), the Giants have a very average OF no matter who is out there. How is that even possible? Hopefully Bader’s recent warming bat is not a mirage.

    Houser has at least shown some signs of competency of late. But Meh-le is flat-out awful. Put him in mop-up long relief.

    Great throw by Susac!

  4. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Sweep. No answers against the Snakes, particularly Marte, whom was a Giant killer again. The irony is that he has had a shitty season thus far against everyone else.

  5. Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

    John, agree about Hauser (easing in to some decent pitching) and Mahle (sucks so horribly I can’t believe he’s on the team). Also agree about that OF. Gilbert is NOT a starter; if he’s starting a lot, the team’s in trouble. Brennan, WTF is Brennan? A no name no performance player. Come on, management, do better. If you’re just going to tank the season, at least play some players in an audition role to see what you’ve got. Gilbert/Brennan, ugh. And please dump Mahle before his next start, for krissakes….

    • Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

      I mean, Brennan… stat line of batting average, OB%, and slugging, all .056. And V bats him lead off? It’s like they’re not even trying anymore…..

      Team has some young’uns (supposedly) looking good and a year or two or three away. There’s always that to look forward to.

    Buster interviewed this morning on KNBR. Sounded like he was gritting his teeth the whole time. Said essentially nothing of consequence. He said essentially there is no plan for Eldridge— everything is “day to day” — a complete non answer. Very defensive and troubling interview IMO.

  7. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Yeah Walter (RealMcCoys) Brennan is just a long line of useless Outfielders the team uses that started with Oliva making the team cause he can run fast on a team that can’t run? Gilbert? Second clown to Adames, another dude that can’t hit a lick .Bader whatever some pop but another guy hitting terrible overall.

    Then you look at Sac …McCray batting .206 in a hitters friendly league and up here even worse,so no help, and he’s the only one they have on the active roster call ups? Atleast this dude Victor Bercotti? (Sp) has some HR power and hitting.302 good OPS but do the Giants give a shit?NO WAY let’s keep throwing out there the worst OF in baseball ..

  8. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Well, all of those guys are 2nd string losers. All replaceable via return to minor league, release, or trade. First string losers- Adames, Chapman, and Devers, will be more difficult to get rid of.

  9. Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

    There are starting to be some teams suffering injuries to starters. That would probably be the only path toward some trades at this point. Chapman (despite his no trade clause) still seems the most likely if team eats salary. Devers, I doubt anyone would want him but I wouldn’t trade him anyway, he’s really their only main big power guy who can carry a team when he gets hot. Problem is, Giants don’t have enough other good players to carry that weight when Devers is not. It’s a bit sad and even infuriating to see a 20-30 record, but it also gives a bit of hope that changes will be made. I’m here to watch that, anyway….

    • blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

      ESPN is saying that Robbie Ray is the most likely player to be traded. Makes sense, particularly since he is a free agent next season. I hope he has better outings versus his last one, where he got raked for 9 runs and 11 hits in 4.1 innings. Ugh . . . He keeps going “south” in his performance, we’ll be lucky to get a bag of balls and a couple of batting gloves.

      https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48505776/mlb-2026-early-trade-deadline-preview-all-30-teams

      Yeah, I would like to see Chapman gone, along with Adames. I think Devers is actually starting to hit and will get better as the weather warms up.

      • Paul Sorensen's avatar Paul Sorensen says:

        Oh, yeah Steve, Ray absolutely, I was talking about the position players. He’s probably the only viable trade piece among pitchers, unless there’s a team stupid enough to take Mahle, haha.

  10. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    . . . and of course, to add insult to injury, Patrick Bailey hit a bomb earlier today to add an insurance run in the 8th inning, where the Guardians won 3-1 against the Tigers.

  11. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Yikes. When i left we’d taken 2 of 3 from the dogs. Now we are in the shitter.

  12. unca_chuck's avatar unca_chuck says:

    Bader is little to nothing, JH Lee appears to be a dud, Ramos is a one-year wonder, and this outfield continues to be a black hole of development for decades.

    Call it the Barry Bonds curse, but holy shit, this team has drafted and coached up little to nothing in position players. And they continue to fuck around with Eldridge.

    Why can’t Buster fucking get this? Maybe he can’t spend, but he can get the team to set a lineup, not throw random guys into the lineup, and say they have no idea what they are gonna do with Eldridge.

    Mahler, Gilbert, Bosucki, Brubaker, and so many of these guys are just random turds spinning in a toilet bowl.

    Gawd. The Minasian brothers are a collective 37-64.

      • willedav's avatar willedav says:

        yeah, good one Loo. Totally get why he wasn’t going to fit here but great guy, glad he’s doing well. ATL rolling.

        Knicks to Finals would be great for NBA, regardless of who they meet. Happy for Mike Brown.

      • willedav's avatar willedav says:

        Posey also took aim at someone asking about not signing high end closer with injury to Edwin Diaz. Fine, but man the Braves closers Raisel Iglesias and Robert Suarez were available too. 12 saves btw them, while Posey brought back Walker for the role.

    • willedav's avatar willedav says:

      He was on KNBR very recently and while that’s not a place abounding with intelligent life, Posey had some short and rather testy answers to questions per Killion in Chron. Eldridge PT is day to day thing he said, this isn’t soft rebuild, etc. What’s most sad is that one of Giants better trade chips is Arraez, one of few guys beside Schmitt showing signs of life/productive player. Posey could extend him–wonder what route they take.

      • snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

        KNBR has been showing some newly-developed backbone in questioning Posey and ownership for malfeasance over the last decade, save 2021. I heard Buster’s entire interview on KNBR, Brian Murphy’s questions were legit and on point and questions that every real fan including Flappers here are asking about this horrendous team. Buster struck out in answering the questions, sounding like he either had no clue what he is doing, or unwilling to admit major surgery is required to save this patient…

      • willedav's avatar willedav says:

        Fair enough. I’m not listening to Brian Murphy, but most fans have same gripes–Eldridge, lack of $$ spent on pen and SPs, Vitello and coaching staff up to snuff or not. Posey I’m sure has his reasons for what he is trying to do to deflect criticism but ultimately it’s the team he put together.

        fans are right to be disappointed in team he has put together.
        Bericoto is up I read; hopefully he can add something to moribund OF without Ramos and Lee. Rather curious to see Adames is back at leadoff tonight; there have been rumors that Vitello does not have full control over everyday lineup.

  13. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    ChiSox are not chopped liver. They hit. My guess is they’ll take 2 this weekend…

  14. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    Bericoto atleast has pop in his bat,he hit 2HR’s (6 total batting.299)yesterday the 2nd one went 459ft! Can play both corner outfield positions.Does anyone really want to see Brennan,Bader,and Gilbert out there even though you know they will..

    They will make him rot on the bench with a few PH opportunities which sucks how clueless they use their players.One thing for sure bringing Bericoto up means the end of McCray imo who’s sucks when given some time up here but now sucks in Sac and the Giants finally might realize finally..

  15. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    Giants are even bad at challenges. How can they have thought the hitter didn’t get hit by that pitch?

    As for more head-scratching stats, the Giants so far have 23 games in which they trailed the other team as they left the 6th inning. They’ve lost all 23. Yes, 0-23 in games they’ve entered the 7th inning behind by 1 or more runs. That’s sad…

  16. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    And Ballgame again if you need more agony theirs always tomorrow’s game..

  17. blade3colorado's avatar blade3colorado says:

    Seen this movie so many times before. Same shitty ending.

  18. alleykat69's avatar alleykat69 says:

    How fucking long has this inning turned into?Oh I just heard 27 minutes Borsucki just always add fuel to the fire when he comes in which add to the misery.

    Giants actually challenged the umpires asking them if we’re any good , they were in in unison saying they stink..

  19. snarkk's avatar snarkk says:

    This looks like the 24th loss out of 24 entering the 7th and behind in the score.

    Seriously, fans ought to boycott both games this weekend to protest this steaming S show. Are there teams actually worse than the Giants? How is that possible?

Super Bowl Win, Purdy Please
