Yep, Another W
Arizona. These poor bastards. We get to take them to the woodshed one more time. A day time woodshed trip. Nothing more embarrassing.
And then the Phillies come to town. I’d love to know what Philly fans think of what Kap is doing with the Giants. Are they mad? Jealous? Their team is going nowhere while Kap’s has flown to the top of MLB. They have Bryce Harper. Big deal. That guy left the Nats and they won the World Series. Kap left Philly and he’s got the best record in baseball. Have Philly fans started to figure out that Harper is just a guy with nice hair who hits home runs? Lots of guys do that for signficantly less money.
Anyway, Philly coming Friday and you gotta think Kap’s had this one circled on the calendar for a while now……
San Diggity Dawg sent this to me this am from the course he was playing in SD. (NOT the Us Open!) He and I have a US open bet, I took XS and Morikawa he took Phil and Rory, for $10–highest placed finish wins. If one of them happens to win, that’s another $10.
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
“Casali got the Tromp wake-up call.”
It does make a fan wonder how much real-life career concerns can motivate a player.
Plus Crawford, Posey, and Belt are all in “contract seasons.”
Yup. Exactly. I don’t think Belt is gonna save his own ass, but Posey and Crawfish certainly stand to get at least a decent 2 year offer if they both go 25/90 or some shit like that. The clamor from the fans will be loud and long to resign them.
Longo will likely have some kind of year next season where he doesn’t get hurt every two fucking weeks.
It could be up to Belt to save his own ass by accepting a less than optimal deal to stay with SF. Or maybe he won’t attract that much interest. His numbers over the last 100 games are a lot better than Eric Hosmer’s, among others. Belt may not be the best SF hitter, but all that shit the vaunted coaching staff has been drilling into the team is basically what Belt has been doing for many years. If you have a whole team across a range of talents that buys into it, the offense is highly productive.
AZ has ONE win in June.
So the Giants are going to jerk a lot of their fans around this weekend regarding the network the games will be shown on, in order to sell subscriptions to yet another channel. Not cool, in my opinion.
There is a Sac River Cats game on a local channel Saturday night. It’s something, at least.
I think the games will be free. You won’t have to sign up for the premium service to see them. Still, it’s a nuisance.
OK, thanks.
It involves having a TV hooked up to the internet, though? I don’t have that out in the country. We’re simple folk out here. 🙂
It can be watched on a computer after downloading the Peacock app, I guess. That’s not ideal.
You should be able to hook your internet connected computer up to the TV, or send the picture and sound on your computer screen to the TV. If you lived in a civilized place like Berkeley, I’d come over and set it up for you 😄.
Hey, I’m only about 90 miles away. Wouldn’t you love a nice drive through the 110 degree Central Valley tomorrow? lulz 🙂
Brandon Crawford is 34, he will be 35 before spring training, i don’t think they should offer him anything, where as Posey still handles the pitching staff very well. And if Posey stays healthy, yeah give him 2 more years
But first, buy him out…
Kruk had to get a condescending dig into Curt Casali postgame.Your triple puts you one behind Tim Lincecum on the career list..
Casali..Oh geez really? I guess I have my work cut out for me..
zumiee- you don’t need a tv service to watch Peacock you got to sign up but it’s easy and free. They show a lot of stuff for free.
Golf update:
Flav +2 (XS -2, Morikawa +4)
Sandog +3 (Rory -1, Phil +4)
I cut the cord in March. been streaming all season. Baseball seems t work fine. NBA is a different story.
I don’t know WTF I’m waiting for.
How many more times do I have to watch Goodfellas & Seinfeld?
Who is XS?
Xander Scauffle (sp)
Before it’s all said and done the cream will rise to the top
so not much of a reach but I’ll take Kopeka and Rahm with Victor Hoviland as my dark horse.
Something about Kopeka who can play like shit at times but when a Major tournament is on the line he’s always there..
Is it combine score, best finish?
Ah, it’s highest placed finish, so Flav with Xander at -2 would be ahead?
correct. And if one of our guys happens to win it all, that’s another 10 spot–and ultimate bragging rights.
So this is the correct one after the first round:
Flav: Xander -2
Dog: Rory -1
Dog: Mickelson +4; Flav Morikawa +4
Announced crowd was 13 thou yesterday. Sure didn’t look like it, and I read from a fan who went earlier in week one night crowd was less than that. Good weather (for SF), weekend, yards opening up all over…
Everyone will be out with the public as their own comfort-level allows, as more people are getting vaccinated.
Yeah, you know it’s going to be a hot day when it’s 80 degrees at 8:30 in the morning.
Great story in Athletic from Baggs on Casali. He was using Yaz bat which he altered for grip slightly, and also credits Posey a lot for advice and all the communication that exists btw them. And of course happy to contribute in any way he can.
So are we.
That was a good story. They also had a fantastic article on Trey Lance and his father. I wish i kneo how to copy all that and post it.
If it’s Wade vs. the Dick in terms of who stays, I’m with Wade…
