I was surprised to hear that the Giants traded Yaztremski, then I learned that he was about to become a free agent. Thanks, Curt Flood, you ruined the game for fans who love their team's best players like they are members of the family.
Yer right. And I want to be wrong and I apologize because I feel like I've drug you into this conversation before.
I'm venting anyway. I'm just ticked that we got rid of Yaz.
I hope all is well.
I'd Love for him, Devers, to become a potent offensive threat for us. Honestly, imho, it's our ball park and it's locale.
Some of our fans seem to love "triples alley", not me. All that denotes to me is that our park is too big and home runs die out there.
Bitter sweet for me...Season sweep of the DOYERS and go SD taken over first place
He was my fave - Got to see him play here with Vanderbilt too - I feel he's going to be a journeyman unless he finds a park he suddenly hits for average and power in.I think Devers can thrive at Oracle. Homers are easier to hit to left field, and Devers' opposite field power really plays. He's also not strictly a home run, strikeout or walk type of hitter, so he'll collect his share of extra base hits.
I'm going to miss Yaz a lot. Truly a Forever Giant. The hard truth is it's better for the club to save the money and look at other options in the outfield, and I'd rather see the team improve than be stuck in a sentimental loop.
100% agreed.Yaz is who he is. He is literally a journeyman, on a good team he's a 4th OF, at best. Contributes in a lot of ways that don't show up in the stat lines and WAR calculations, but still a fairly limited player.
Meanwhile, the Giants are still crashing out badly. After an embarrassing series sweep at home to the Padres, with Wednesday's game being especially bad, I no longer think that simply changing some of the position coaches is enough. Buster Posey has to make a big call on Bob Melvin.

Well, that's horrible.Rob Manfred march to destroy baseball. His next move realignment that everyone hates and getting rid of the leagues.

It never really caught hold, I watched a couple of games during their first season, and it was horrible, the announcers, and the coverage. The only saving grace was some of the metrics they display was nice. The past couple of years the quality of the announcers/color men improved but I really saw no reason to watch the games on appletv.saw on twitter that Apple will no longer have friday night baseball after this year and just ran into this post
