And with it the hopes and dreams of the Bay Area sports world. Sad to say it has come to this what with the Giants in terminal suck mode, the Warriors dynasty crumbling with the aging of superstar Steph, Dray, and Jimmy B; and whoever the 12 guys are who follow the Sharks as they skated through another playoff-less season.
Of course with the OTAs come the inevitable injuries. This team has wallowed through about 25 seasons of injuries in the past 7, and the hope is they figure something out that isn’t the same crash-and-burn scenario. Stretch more? A little more contact in practice? Better offseason prep?
I don’t have any clue their preparation and such but to keep doing the same thing and seeing the calamities that befall this team season after season is amazing in its consistency. I think they got more trainers or something. Huzzah. Maybe tinfoil helmet liners are in order to deflect the massive amount of EMFs coming off the PG&E power station next door.
Speaking of consistency, the Giants are finally consistent. Consistently awful. They get to go to their favorite place on Earth. Denver. Where large leads go to die horrible deaths, and well, the battle for the cellar begins now.
Forty Niners Forever 
Yikies. Meckler was DFAed for Houser.
The guys they keep are absofuckinglutely brain dead. But Dirty Harry is dealing now, and it seems the league is littered with guys tossed away by this organization for turds like Cutch, Houser, Tibbs, etc for guys that ain’t cutting it.
Although Devers is heating up.
Meckler is a AAAA player, at best. The typical kind of Giants’ farm OFer — a guy that doesn’t move the needle, but good enough to hang around because the OF at the big club level is never much good.
Bulletin from Giants central:
Turns out resistance is not futile
The Borg, he is out. Vamos, raus, outta here. He has been “reassigned”. To what or where — TBD, I guess. Wotus takes over indefinitely.
Surprise? NO.
On field baseball necessary? Yes, absolutely.
PR move as well? No shit.
Does ditching your “new” third base coach 1/3 into the season mean anything? Yeah, embarrassing as hell, shows dysfunction at about every level imaginable…
Conversely, Giants icon (albeit, a poor 3rd base coach) was allowed to remain until the end of last season, where he either got canned with Melvin or left on his own accord. Dunno . . . Wiki is unclear about that.
I think it is very possible that Vitello went to Buster and demanded Borg be removed. I would have. Vitello has had to answer for Borg screw ups multiple times, making Vitello look responsible. Vitello basically said the other day he had little to do with hiring Borg, didn’t even know the guy and relied on management saying Borg should be the coach, basically as a reward to a long-time system guy. Never mind he had limited experience at 3rd, none in MLB. Ultimately, this was a clusterF that IMO is on Buster/Minasian.. The disaster it turned into was unfair to both Borg and Vitello, making both look bad.

thanks Mac. Just saw Baggs is on it in TA. Wotus it is!
Hah! Wotus is back!!!
erp! day late, buck short.
DFA Chappie next. Fuck him and his bloated contract.
Man, that would make my weekend. Ehh, I mean month.
Question . . . Do you remember during the first or 2nd week of the season, Chapman saying something to the effect, “Catch the fucking ball?” Was it Schmitt he said that to? Or, someone else? Not certain if the player was playing 2nd base or 1st base. I know it was some reserve player.
Forget it. It was Schmitt (I just asked AI) . . . During the second game of the 2026 season on April 1, San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman was caught on camera angrily telling teammate Casey Schmitt to “catch the f—–g ball” after a costly throwing error at first base. The viral on-field exchange occurred at Petco Park during a game against the San Diego Padres. Manny Machado hit a slow chopper down the third base line, which Chapman charged to field. Chapman made a running throw to first, but the ball sailed past first baseman Casey Schmitt.
How their roles have changed – Schmitt playing like a “superstar” and Chapman like a chump.
This was a week ago, but still…
