Still Waiting, Still Dreaming . . .

. . . for offensive line help. At this point I’d be thrilled if we signed a center. They look to rol with the rookie Willis at LG so I guess that fixes that? Man, I don’;t’ know.

It smacks of the Giants signing Mahler and Houser and calling their rotation fixed. Or banking on Walker saying he fixed his closer issues.

There are hopes. And there are prayers. We need to do more to the O line.

    That about sums up the season.

    More comical baseball by the Giants unbelievable but true ..Adames double followed by Arreaz single and Borg with his usual stupid move sends him and he gets thrown out at the plate,and let’s not forget Arreaz gets picked off 2nd for the last out down 1 so inning was a wasted opportunity of retarded baseball..

    Wow.

    Though we might find it near impossible, Giants finding yet more idiotic ways to lose. This may be the stupidest, certainly the worst, baserunning team in MLB. How can any team be worse?

    I want to see replay of whether our buddy Hector Borg should have stayed in Puerto Rico, but instead blew yet another send — this time of Adames. Sounds from Miller on radio like that. Whatever. Then, Arraez as potential tying run gets immediately picked off second with Schmitt standing in the batter’s box.

    If Vitello doesn’t go off on somebody, he’s not managing, he’s babysitting or afraid of acting like a manager.

    And the Sweep is complete 0-6 against them what a joke!Real teams like Dbacks don’t do stupid shit like this bunch 0-29 now from 7th inning on yikes no comebacks for them ALL YEAR! Fucking Borg fires his ass and just put Wotus there it can’t be worse.,

    Arraez, Chapman, Adames, Schmitt and Devers. 1 for 20. Nice.

    MacDonald was good, almost really good. Didn’t deserve to lose. No way this guy gets sent down, I think. If he does, though, that would be consistent with how the Giants roll.

    More Keystone Kops in the field (unearned run by Gage’s oopsy) and on the bases. In the 8th the Dbacks handed a golden opportunity to the Giants, and SF just immediately pissed it away. Hector Borg must have photos on somebody in management.

    Dbacks are gonna miss playing the Giants. Dbacks are a team I like to see play. Smart, clutch hitting, smart base running, pressures the defense, excellent D, very good team speed. Some pop, too. Pitching good enough to let the offense win games. Everything you want to see in the Giants, but is completely absent.

    Seriously, 1/3 of the season now over, this Giants team is beyond just playing badly, it’s just plain bad.

    Blow this S up, stat …

      My bad. Need new glasses, I guess.

      The big 5 went 5 for 20. Arraez had 3 hits. Adames 2, Gilbert 1, everybody else — zilch. Too bad they will need to trade Arraez, but he’s valuable and they need good prospects, and no guarantee he would stay if they keep him past the deadline. If I were him, no way I’d sign with the Giants and avoid FAgency. This team is a long way from competitive.

    Giants now 12 games underwater, heading out for a long 10-game roadie. They could easily end up 15-16 underwater by the time they come back. This trip decides everything. If they come back unquestionably in a free fall season, all bets are off for Posey going wild in trades. I heard today Ray is not eligible for getting the Giants a compensatory pick if they keep him the rest of the year and then he leaves for another team. Another reason why Ray has to go.

    Missed the game . . . Again, under .400 (.393) record. Saw some hi-lights and read the recap.

    I miss Matt Williams and that’s saying something. Yeah, someone, anyone – needs to have a “chat” with this entire team.

    Man, there really is nothing that can save this team for the foreseeable future.

    Buster’s drafts have a couple years before they get here and what else do we have? gatorade baths once a week for a win?

    As we’ve been beating into the ground for oh, the past 5 seasons, this team does not field, run, hit the rogjt cut-off man, or do very many things fundamentally sound. I mean really. Through 3 regimes, the same ineptitude with the call-ups.

    Kind of a drag. I guess Flav timed it out pretty well!!!

    Hey!!! OTA’s are starting!!!!!!

    It ain’t too early for football!!!!!

      Niners luck it’s raining in south bay this morning.

      Pics in Chron today of Caitlin Clark (in black Giants cap) Podz, and Baer. Her team plays GSV tonight. Hella skilled player but man total drama queen on the court. What bugs me about that is millions of girls adore her, and she needs to set better example than waving her arms around every time she doesn’t like call on the floor.

      Last game vs. GSV she was called for D foul (and she’s terrible d player to begin with) and pointed at the other end, like they did it to me and you didn’t call anything. stfu and just play.

    What do you guys think?

    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/48893571/mlbpa-makes-1st-proposal-collective-bargaining-negotiations

    Me? Good points by both sides. However, I am getting sick and tired of the Dodgers “buying” playoffs and World Series. Yes, as a couple of folks commented here today, as well as in the past – the Giants ownership and management are beyond incompetent, or why else have we been no better than a .500 team 9 out of the last 10 years?

    This latest counter proposal from the players union would allow the Dodgers an additional $70 million dollars. Go through it with a fine tooth comb and I am certain that it does diddly squat to address competition between the “haves” and “have nots.”

    Say what you will about LA buying wins, they have drafted very well over the years.

    And traded those picks well.

    The deferring of contracts for 20 years should also be addressed.

    Ludicrous.
