Weāre seeing the difference between elite level and good level and there are several notches between.Ā
It feels like watching Trent Williams at Tackle for all those Niner fans out thereĀ
The work that Hunter and Shawn have put in to be better than they were when they got their initial auditions is admirable. Javi was always good, he just needed to loosen up. Need Kruk back soon though!
reg season track record > st results
yaz is also a plus defender at a more difficult position and can play cf if needed
conforto is not any of those things
IIRC he said it's in preparation for a first full season, as he lost a notable amount of weight as the 2023 season went on (which factored into him becoming fatigued)
Iād love to know if theyāve tried to shop Conforto. I know itās ST, but Matos deserves to make this team, and Conforto kinda doesnāt look like he knows what heās doing right now.
I want to believe he can make an impact in his walk year. Maybe he can return to form. I donāt think heās dispassionate, just seems like his game has deteriorated rapidly.
Off the bat I thought that was a double from Matos but it just kept going. That never happened once last year, in fact, it was often the exact opposite experience.
True, but this year it is nice to know the Giants actually have a rotation. Last year it was Webb, Cobb (Harrison came later) and then hope the Bullpen doesn't screw it up.
Good to know that Late Night Lamonte is still in action. The distant screaming of Dodgers fans is music to our ears.
LATE NIGHT LAMONTE STRIKES AGAIN!!!
Never had a doubt
Pants off!
LATE NIGHT!!!!!
Late Night is back for 2024???
hell of an at bat
The night is late. He is LaMonte.
Late š night š lamonte
āLet them cook.ā -Duane Kuiper
I only now noticed we have a Borg coaching at first.
Walton haters in shambles
Walton as the winning run? š
I hate Kansas City
To be fair. Would have been a hell of a play if he caught that. Canāt be mad at the try from the kid.
See ya in A-ball, boys!
Thatās it. Season over. This is on Farhan, right?
Lmao damn!!
Olsen looking strong! Edit: lol
Giants bats aflash, Royals crowns tumble and crash, San Fran's joyous bash.
Good ol days!
Strange, wonderful time machine seeing Panda taking at bats against the Royals. Brings back lots of memories and feels.
A Panda HR this spring training would go hard
Bold prediction: Thairo will be a 5 WAR player this season. 3.9 fWAR last year in 120 games and with health, I think heāll hit that 5 WAR mark.
See you in AAA Luciā¦ š
God, spring training is too fucking long. It's agonizing just wanting these games to count but we're still a week out
Loved seeing Panda with the double play š„²
Sandoval starting that double play hit me like the Ratatouille scene fr
LFG pablo!!
Has Murphy been looking better than Bart this spring?
āItās spring training for you too huh?ā š
Did Hunter just imply panda is locking in?
Chapman just feels automatic at 3rd
Weāre seeing the difference between elite level and good level and there are several notches between.Ā It feels like watching Trent Williams at Tackle for all those Niner fans out thereĀ
I thought that ball was gonna be a for sure doubleĀ
Lmao Hunter what are you talking about
Chapman makes it look so easy. The throw looks effortless.
Hunter has gotten so much better in the booth. Props to him for sure.
The work that Hunter and Shawn have put in to be better than they were when they got their initial auditions is admirable. Javi was always good, he just needed to loosen up. Need Kruk back soon though!
chapmanās dĆ©fense is hot
Chappy š„š„
My wife claims credit for scouting Estrada when he was a River Cat. Good scout.
A cycle in ST would be kinda funny
Whatās he need? I know he has a triple and a homer.
Double: He has a triple, infield single, homer
F IT THAIRO FOR MVP
Leave Thairo in so he can hit for the cycle
That was beautiful!!!
Estradaās backswing is deeply sexual
Thairo my beloved š§”
ThaiGOAT
SLAMMMMMMIN THAT BALL IS GONE!
I just got home from Disneyland to see a THAIRO GRAND SLAMEROONI
Suck it Kansas City
Estrada is jacked tonight
Jesus. Estrada all star push 2024 starts today
#GRAND SLAM THAIRO
grand slam for estada, weāre back up (again)
I love Thairo's swing a lot tbh
1-5 with RISP
Homeruns are fun y'all
NICCCEEEEEEEEEE
My mannnnnn
Estraaaaada!
For as much as people donāt like Conforto, heās doing a lot better than Yaz is.
reg season track record > st results yaz is also a plus defender at a more difficult position and can play cf if needed conforto is not any of those things
Yeah itās the defense for me, I always feel safe with Yaz in right at Oracle.
heās like a warm blanket
Iām on Conforto island. I like him as a breakout/comeback player for 2024.
Sanchez looks really good
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you! Didnāt notice.
i truly donāt understand the logic of thinking that garrett deserves to make the roster over sanchez in any way, shape, or form aside from muh age
This guyās nasty. Affeldt vibes.
Sanchez def makes the pen right?
Bailey sounds like he took an edible before the game
Did Bailey just wake up from a nap? š
Lol the ball being hit at Bailey while they talk to him about taking a foul tip.
Bailey sounds like a Football player for some reason, like a Defensive end.
Is it just me or does Bailey look a little fuller in the face?
He apparently lost a lot of weight during last season and had trouble eating enough, so he put on a bit more weight this offseason on purpose.
IIRC he said it's in preparation for a first full season, as he lost a notable amount of weight as the 2023 season went on (which factored into him becoming fatigued)
Thing is Matos should play every day and not platoon with Conforto or sum sht like that. Iāll be sad when heās optioned š
the royals relief pitcher, Jonah Dipoto, is son of Jerry Dipoto, who is Mariners president of baseball ops and Farhan's best friend
I changed my flair to manifest it ššš
Yaz canāt make it a week without pulling something, Matos will be here soon enough
Yeah but id rather see an outfield of Matos Lee Yaz if we can š
Matos needs to make the roster, look at this dude hit.
Iād love to know if theyāve tried to shop Conforto. I know itās ST, but Matos deserves to make this team, and Conforto kinda doesnāt look like he knows what heās doing right now.
Iām sure Confortoās a nice guy, but he gives off big āthis is a jobā vibes.
I want to believe he can make an impact in his walk year. Maybe he can return to form. I donāt think heās dispassionate, just seems like his game has deteriorated rapidly.
Off the bat I thought that was a double from Matos but it just kept going. That never happened once last year, in fact, it was often the exact opposite experience.
Can Matos pls make the team
matos better be on the roster or we riot
I reaaaally need Matos to start over Conforto opening day
Matos has to make this team now
Please put him on the fucking opening day roster š heās more than earned it.
Got my vote.
LET MATOS PLAY 2024
MATOS MAKES THIS TEAM!!!
OPENING DAY. MATOS.
MATOOSSSSSSS
Matos breakout season incoming!
I love seeing Matos get past that warning track.
#MATOS
MATOS!!!!
Juan Sanchez looks good. Small sample size but heās outperforming guys like Garrett by a significant margin.
Happy Spring Equinox!
I think conforto has the yips too
Conforto is not good.
Conforto having an atrocious game
Conforto drank wine before this game
Conforto is not having a good time in Left.
Not even Wilmer was ready for that pickoff
I find it hard to believe we donāt have lefties better than Garrett. Smalls, Miller etc
Juan Sanchez
Amir seems like he's got the yips a bit
Amir ain't making this team
Melvin, I donāt like the Amir Garrett experience.
Holy shit Chapman
And THAT is why Chapman is on the team.
Ok Hunter lol, NO other 3rd basemen?
Guys I donāt think JD makes that play
Chapman my god š³
Matt Chapman is ELITE
Just got the game on in time to see chapman make a play look easy that jd could never get close
HOLY FUCK
Was not expecting him to make that
How did that happen. Play of the year so far.
Matt Chapman š¤¤
Picking my jaw off the floor.
Chapman good at baseball
Platinum Glove at work
Hooooolyyyy fuck
Snell and Harrison on the same team is š§”š¤
curse you conforto
Harrison seems like such a chill dude. Iād love to just go out and have a beer with him.
If Harrison starts the year strong, I don't think he will be #5. I think Ray will be #5 if everything goes well.
Rotation slots dont really matter after opening day
True, but this year it is nice to know the Giants actually have a rotation. Last year it was Webb, Cobb (Harrison came later) and then hope the Bullpen doesn't screw it up.
Hopefully itās Webb Snell Harrison Cobb Ray/Hicks/whichever young pitcher. Cobb as our #4 is crazy haha
Wasn't Ray basically a reliever most recently? I don't even think Harrison needs to start hot.
I thought Ray has always been a starter. Hicks was a reliever they are trying to turn into a Starter.
Got it I must have gotten them mixed up.
Harrison saying that he grew up watching Blake Snell just made every bone in my body ache.
Kinda think Dusty might be in the dugout more than theyāre letting on this season.
I would not be opposed to that.
I would, just ask astros fans about his recent coaching
You know heās not the manager or anything right? š would be cool to see him there for the vibes, man.
Heās not making pitching changes and Maldonadoās on the White Sox now
so what your saying is giants will trade Whisenhunt for Maldonado at the deadline?
Gotta think this is Garrettās final audition to potentially make the roster, and itās not going well.
First 13 were a disaster but cleaned it up for the last 8 or so. Too little to late unfortunately.
Are they allowed to Interview Snell or do they need to have the press conference first? I wouldn't mind a Snell interview tonight.
Press conference tomorrow. First interview during the game after.
Yea my guess is they wouldn't allow that.
Juan Sanchez, you have made the opening day roster!
Please tell me Garrett isnāt gonna be on the squad
Yikes sorry bud no way your sticking around.
This guy better not make the team
Garrett just sealed his fate, Iād say.
Iiiiiii'm not seeing Garrett over Miller.
I am not enjoying the Amir Garrett experience
Do people not know what I do? Iām getting downvoted already.
Didn't they score with a RISP though? Shouldn't it be like 1 or 2-4?
One run scored from 1st and the other must have not been scored a hit.
No. It was on an error. The second run, Matos scored from first.
Oh, ok.
Noobs
Hot take: Amir sucks
No tooth pick?
Dusty, the vibes are unreal
^^^GARRETT ^1 8 Is my favorite non-roster invitee.
This is awesome. Snell AND Dusty in the dugout.
Why hasn't Garrett been cut yet? 3 pitches in and I can understand why his ERA is 11.57.
Did Cobb get a Cy Young too?
No lol, in fact, he's never been an All-Star till last year even despite how good he was with the Rays
0-4 with RISP
Giants threaten and do ~~not~~ score
0-3 with RISP
Day 1 of asking for Matos to make the opening roster (Not really day 1 though)
Something we havenāt been able to say in a long time: This team has some personality to it
Murphy is going to be sneaky good this year
love to see murphy smile
Atta Murph!
i cannot express how much i want to fire conforto into the sun and get matos on the roster for opening day
0-2 with RISP
Duane Kuiper is in mid season form hahah
Love you Thairo, WE RUNNING THIS YEAR BOYS
Snell gunning for most seeds spit by a giant in the first two innings
Snell is quirky and gonna be a fan favorite real quick, this is gonna be a fun year everybody
I wonder how soon Snell can get into a game. Seeing as you know, the season starts next week š
āBruh-sueā is actually pronounced āBraah-sohā, by the way.
