This scrappy team cobbled together with duct tape and minor leaguers is surprisingly very fun to watch. At least these guys are going out playing like it’s game 7 of the World Series every day for an opportunity to stay in the big leagues. Way better than watching vets go through the motions in a lost season.

I take it you weren’t very good at math?

OKAY FINE: WEBB AND SKENES

(honestly don't know if you're being serious or you don't know about the famous Charles Barkley bit)

u/sparktheworld 39 Krukow 5h ago

Oh sorry, no I wasn’t being serious, and no I wasn’t putting the Barkley comment in play there. You’re good, just funny

Our last month being able to listen to Kruk 😢

I want the Giants to send an A/V team to Reno and build a studio for him in his home.

u/pachyderm63 san francisco giants 2h ago

work from home!

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 2h ago

I know it's not just about having to live on King St for a big chunk of the year; Kruk's disease takes a real toll on him. I do not expect that he'll ever return in any full-time capacity.

But damn it would be cool if he could be a regular guest, maybe do a game with Kuip once in a while (Kruk did say this was something he's open to), or otherwise be a baseball pundit for the Giants.

u/pachyderm63 san francisco giants 2h ago

100% agreed.

u/GrandsonOfTheWin san francisco giants 7h ago

Here's hoping Logan Clause will give no early Christmas gifts to the Pirates, except for a lump of coal.

From delos Santos:

I can confirm that Jackson Flora will join Single-A San Jose. He’s scheduled to pitch on Friday in Fresno.

Susan Slusser had it first.

EDIT: also from delos Santos:

Zach Morgan, Cesar Perdomo and Wilkin Ramos have lockers in Pittsburgh. No announcements yet.

2

u/ericthelostman 1h ago

Don't see fascination with Ramos, Morgan takes advantage of Rodriguez injury and Perdomo is an interesting rule 5 case.

1

u/GrandsonOfTheWin san francisco giants 25m ago

If Cesar Perdomo ever faces Gerardo Perdomo, I can guarantee with 100% certainty that Perdomo is going to win that battle. :+)

Gotta admit: the kids give me hope.

u/Spaghet209 55 Lincecum 3h ago

If the Angels can be sold that means someone could absolutely buy the Giants from this terrible ownership if they wanted to right?

3

u/mamapajamaUSA 24 Mays 3h ago

you can't make a buyer buy or a seller sell.

if it's a private ownership the answer is no.

2

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 2h ago

If only we could coerce them! But the Johnsons are making tons of money from the team and I doubt they want to give that up. Always need more yachts for their fleet.

2

u/Tronn3000 18 Cain 2h ago

The problem is the Giants are owned by 32 different people, which is just 31 too many in my opinion

So it would be hard for one person to come and buy out the team since there are so many different people with different motivations owning the team. Some may not want to sell

5

u/mamapajamaUSA 24 Mays 5h ago

Good pitching match up!

u/ThatsFroggers 39 Estrada 4h ago

i was hoping webb would have a lower era than skenes this year and the monkeys paw curled

u/Temporary-Ad9615 8 Eldridge 3h ago

Paul Skenes is mortal?

3

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 2h ago

Some have tried to claim this but I am skeptical.

2

u/pachyderm63 san francisco giants 2h ago

TO a team who just swept the braves? yes.

5

u/ericthelostman 3h ago

Since mods deleted main post, Angels being sold could be great news for the Giants, it could cut into the Dodgers' talent monopoly, especially for the players who are dead set on signing in Southern California.

4

u/Tronn3000 18 Cain 2h ago edited 2h ago

I am fucking psyched! I was worried Kroenke would buy the Dodgers.

He's an incredibly smart owner and he would run the Dodgers like a juggernaut still but he actually would have the money to back it up and not have to do illegal Enron shit like Walter does.

Thank fuck he's with the Angels instead

Edit Grammar

u/Zeke688 Kruk & Kuip 1h ago

Not sure how much more of a juggernaut they could be. lol

2

u/TheGoatPurdy Hungry Seagulls 3h ago

lol itsl ike the clippers/lakers. or mets/yankees. doesn't matter how much money angels owner have. they'll never be able to compete w/ dodgers.

angels will always be their baby brother. the forgotten child.

2

u/pachyderm63 san francisco giants 2h ago

unless the bodger owner goes to jail ?

2

u/eyengaming 2h ago

the new angels owner may have some aspirations.

Winning lineup baby

u/chiefoblock 7h ago

fun matchup!

u/lobo-mojo 29 Schmidt 5h ago

Have we faced Skenes yet in his career? I feel like whenever we play them we miss him by a game

6

u/Darvaren 39 Krukow 4h ago

Nope. This is the first official time we’ve faced him. We did face him in spring training when Team USA had an exhibition game against us though but I don’t really count that

3

u/theleftovers1014 san francisco giants 3h ago

I’m pretty sure we faced him in his rookie year and won

3

u/Overall-Abalone5911 2h ago

Any info on who the Giants called up?

1

u/showwordcount 0 Gilbert 33m ago

per Maria Guardado, Zach Morgan (catcher) and Cesar Perdomo (pitcher).

1

u/Overall-Abalone5911 2m ago

Underwhelming, i was expecting to see Bo Davidson since he is rule 5 draft eligible next year. Why not see what he has? I think we have seen what McCray has to offer

3

u/MAH415 Hogs Out! 7h ago

This would have been a match that I would love to see. Unfortunately this isnt in the bay. Go Giants, Go Devers, Go Eldridge and Go Webb. Lets get a Go young players too.

From Pavs:

The Giants are finalizing a minor league deal with Darren Baker, who will join Triple-A Sacramento when it's done. A cool homecoming for Dusty's son, who went to high school in the Sacramento area. He was in Triple-A with the White Sox earlier this season.

In the words of SF band Train:

"nooooooooowwwwwww calling all angels, nooooowwww calling all you angels"

1

u/DisastrousEast825 38m ago

Random thought for the day. Its a little weird to me that baseball still has the same 5 man rotation/4 days of rest despite injuries being insane and pitchers throwing harder and with more spin than ever. I wonder if someday itll seem antiquated that it stayed to a 5 man rotation.

1

u/wanderthereyonder 61 Gilbert 23m ago

No Gilbert in the lineup vs a righty is interesting.

1

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 18m ago

He was originally set for CF but was a late scratch.

1

u/BocaDog 6 Thompson 11m ago

Three in a row today, FOUR in a row tomorrow!

We got the elusive sweep, now we need that win streak.

2

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 8m ago

I do not understand these words. What is this "win streak" you speak of?
