Bet wisely fellas

So essentially its your fault the Giants had a losing season.

15 in a row now


It's truly truly insane lol

If your losing streak continues in the president Buster era, our franchise is truly doomed.
I'm curious what Buster will do with the catching group. And what his thoughts are on Sabol, Casali and Murphy?

That's true but people are saying we need to get power hitters and they don't want to come here. The park and weather are the reason. You're right that they should build this team around defense and speed along with strong pitching up and down the staff. If they keep pursuing power hitters they are probably missing some lower priced but valuable players.

I have no doubt thats what buster is going to do.

First priority is landing an elite defensive shortstop.

That would certainly be a good start. With a good SS the left side of the infield would be really tight. Fitzgerald improved as the season progressed but he's not a top level SS. They could move him to 2nd base or just plug him in where needed since he can play the outfield as well.

a life hack would be me betting against the giants every game I go to and I come out with more money that I had before going to the game. Just can't do it though

I do always bet the over. Because we are going to lose, and we are going to lose by a nice little chunk

If they get a SS the ONLY logical move is to put Fitzgerald at 2b. You don't make him a utility player.

I went to 6 Giants games over a 7 year span from 2007-2013, and Matt Cain just happened to be the SP in every one, all unplanned. Not sure what the odds of that are.

I'm fine with Fitz/Wisely for 2B next year. both impressed.

I have been to a few home games. The first one I went to had Bonds, Cain, and the Brewers with Prince Fielder.

1/5 x 1/5 x 1/5 x 1/5 x 1/5 x 1/5 = 15,625 to 1....and that's not factoring in things like injuries and missed starts and such...should have put some money on it!
Watching the playoffs I can't help but wonder why the Giants can't seem to find a player like Jackson Merrill. Started this season at age 20. Now he hits aHR in the playoffs at age 21. Let's hope Eldridge becomes that guy.
Adames already being linked to us… gonna happen

If MLB ever adopts a robo strike zone, Bailey's value plummets. I wonder what Buster really thinks of Bailey.
i had no idea Farhan was setting the lineups every day. Melvin had no real say. John Shea and Will Clark have both said this now.
