The Golden Age of cinema.

@EYDShow Seriously. The Pollyanna’s are out in full-force with their arbitrary policing of this fanbase…

@Roger774501171 Masyn Winn has a cannon.

@Isaywhatwhat84 @jj135710 @CoveChatter Any team w/ LaMonte Wade Jr hitting lead-off & Yaz seeing regular ABs is nowhere near contention. Ownership is cheap & thinks the fans are fools, many of whom are🤷🏻. If Posey had signed a frontline SP (Burnes/Fried) plus Adames & a 2nd bat, maybe then they’d be WC contenders.

@jj135710 @Isaywhatwhat84 @CoveChatter Respect the positivity, but IMO that’s nothing more than wishful thinking, esp when the evidence says the guy is a rather proven commodity w/ electric stuff in high-leverage situations as a short RP. The Johnsons are cheap tho - they’d rather force the issue w/ a project🤷🏻

@Isaywhatwhat84 @jj135710 @CoveChatter He’s actually been in a slow but steady decline since the Cy Young year of ‘21…

@jj135710 @Isaywhatwhat84 @CoveChatter But neither is Hicks, at least not in the rotation. Their staff is a weakness regardless, which makes your bullpen all the more important. Just would love to see Hicks, Miller & Walker locked in for 7-8-9…

@jj135710 @Isaywhatwhat84 @CoveChatter Hicks was a 0.9 WAR player last year. There’s no shortage of journeymen, non-elite arms that will toe it every 5 days, get you thru 5 & have signed this offseason: Quantrill, Lorenzen, Trevor Williams, Morton, Rea. Hell, LH Pat Sandoval in Oracle was def worth a flyer @ $9M/.🤷🏻

@jj135710 @Isaywhatwhat84 @CoveChatter They weaken both the rotation AND pen w/ this nonsense. Hicks is a high-leverage BP arm & always has been. That spot has literally become one of the most important in the game. Trying to get maybe 120 IP out of him as an SP4 is a waste when you could use him 80+ times in 7th/8th.

@Isaywhatwhat84 @jj135710 @CoveChatter Continuing to force Hicks as a starter is patently absurd.

The #SFGiants are not a serious organization.

@KingAmongDorks

Gimme a break.🤣 Workhorses do not routinely have pitch counts in the mid-80’s with 2-on and 2-outs in the 4th. I mean what are we even doing here…

@CalHopBlogs Agreed. Keeping JW is essential but the dude’s from SEC country & is a lock to receive an offer in excess of 7-figures per annum. Even as priority #1, it’s gonna be a major challenge for a staff that could not retain any of the ‘24 portal entries. Hoping he LOVES Berkeley.🙏🤞

@Counselorjrm @rule5pick @reviewjournal @Athletics Seriously.

Niners window closed last February.

@SFSportsAndTech @JNay_LSS That’s as much a Kyle Shanahan problem as it is BP.

@bridgetbaseball I don’t understand the fixation with trying to make a guy that has high-leverage stuff a starter.

@LosDLF_ Seriously. Plus you need more than just Bosa, especially when the stripes don’t consistently call holding, as happens often in the playoffs. They need to draft the DL position much more effectively, as well - 4 of this regimes biggest whiffs have involved that position group.
