Ugh, can't believe I'm saying this, Bring Back Walker. And, while you are at it, remind Chapman he has a bat in his hands, not a shovel.

Of all the stupid moves that the stupid Giants have stupidly done over the last stupid year, letting Dom Smith go was probably the stupidest.

His slash line this year is. 395/.415/.6841.099

His stats have fallen off since the numbers you cited were posted.  Smith is a platoon guy and there is no place for him in SF’s lineup.  Devers at 1B and Eldridge at DH are a better combo than Smith and either Rafi or Bryce.  

If you want to talk about stupid moves, pinning your starting rotation hopes on Houser/Mahle takes the cake with the failure to sign a major league closer a close second.

No dispute. The pitching staff is execrable, starting with those three moves and the recent fall off by their aces. Let's add the over reliance on low contact bombers. Sometimes it works out, like yesterday. More often, it does not.  

Cox is going to be fun...

Jung Hoo Lee now batting.304.

Interesting article on the growing AL/NL disparity.

Basically, now that there are more interleague games (48, accounting for 28% of each team’s schedule), and fewer divisional games, it becomes increasingly likely that an entire weak division (*cough* AL West *cough*) can be under .500.  In fact, in the entire AL, only four teams have winning records.

Interesting that Wotus is back as third base coach. Pettis gone already or something else ?

Just saw Pettis is now with the team and starts as 3rd base coach tomorrow

Glad we replaced the third base coach. Now all we need to do is replace all 13 pitchers. and teach the fielders how to field. And teach batters other than Chapman how to take a walk. Other than that, we're doing great.

The good news is that all three of the Giants main minor-league teams are in first place in their respective leagues, so at least Randy Winn is doing his job.

I just saw that Arraez and Lee are tied for 3rd in NL BA at .324, so there’s that.

Fans criticize Adames' defense, and he does have most errors at ss, but I think he gets to balls others don't and otherwise makes alot of difficult plays.

Ooof. Without naming anybody, Sean Estes is blistering management of late game as Giants lose in 9th.
