Said in spring training that I hope Zaipler have the balls to make Ruf our everyday first baseman.

I know spring and 4 games is a small sample size, but he would be my starter if I was the manager.

We have read the Belt book many times. The ending isn't changing.

Insane how like all of our players just play every position it seems like lol

Also surprised we don't have billy Hamilton in as a late game defensive help. A lot of extra base hits in the first and second game. And mookie protected a double+ 2 rbi by just being fast enough to run down a gapper

A good glove at first base is soooo overrated.

Much prefer someone who can rake.

Ruff is only starting against lefties, plenty of abs are waiting for him

The most recent study I could find online was from 2017, and it says that 28% of Major League pitchers are left handed.

Wouldn't call that plenty, personally.

Q- Since Pence had such a good year with the Rangers last year, why the hell didn't they resign him?

This is theory Zaidi and Kapler examines in deciding not to let anyone throw more than about 50 pitches in camp, citing research on slow vs fast ramps. This season is a laboratory for this question. #sfgiants https://t.co/tQqXCCaf8S
