Nice showcase today for Cabbage (0-4), Montero (0.0, 4ER, 2H, 3BB), Singleton (0-3, 2K), Hensley (same as Singleton), and Coleman (HR). But this team isn't quitting in the top of the 9th!!

Montero is ready for the regular season. Fucker

His greatest contribution to Texas football, no doubt.

Longhorn Legend and 4(?)-time "commitment" maker Jordan Elliott is going to the Niners. I can't wait to hear him tell Lynch and Shanahan that he wants to portal out.

Article from the Mercury News on the implications of JD Davis's arbitration hearing SF Giants place J.D. Davis on waivers; why he stands to lose millions Evan Webeck 3–4 minutes SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Yet another unfortunate wrinkle in a cycle full of them for J.D. Davis: He could be out millions of dollars. When the Giants signed Matt Chapman, Davis lost his job as the starting third baseman in San Francisco. And, after being placed on waivers Saturday, he also stands to forfeit all but a small prorated portion of the $6.9 million salary he won through an arbitration hearing with the team. As the process plays out, Davis has been around the team but not played in a game since Monday, the day Chapman’s signing was made official. “There’s some stuff going on right now,” manager Bob Melvin said Saturday when asked about Davis’ status following their 5-1 win over the A’s. “That’s why he hasn’t played. We’ll see how it turns out here in the next day or so.” In the middle of the game, reports surfaced that Davis had been placed on waivers. When the clubhouse reopened to reporters afterward, Davis was not available to comment, though he said after the news of the Chapman signing broke that “it’s part of the business” and that he “want(ed) to do what’s best for the team.” First reported by FanSided’s Robert Murray, the New York Post’s Jon Heyman later added that the Giants opted to place Davis on waivers after their efforts to trade him had failed. Teams understood their roster crunch in the wake of signing Chapman to be their new everyday third baseman while also possessing Wilmer Flores as a right-handed hitting corner infield option off the bench. Any team that claims Davis would owe him his salary in full. However, if no team wants to pay him at the rate determined by an independent arbiter, that’s where things get complicated. As a veteran with at least five years of service time, Davis would have the option to become a free agent rather than accept an outright assignment to the minor leagues. Typically, the Giants would be on the hook for all but the minimum of his annual salary, and the team that signed him would pay the difference. However, players’ salaries that are determined through an arbitration trial don’t become guaranteed until Opening Day. If he is released, Davis would be owed only a 30-day prorated portion of his $6.9 million salary. Until the latest collective bargaining agreement, which took effect in 2022, that was the case for any player who went through the arbitration process, which encompasses anyone with between three and six years of service time. One change in the new CBA, however, guaranteed salaries for those players who settled out of the courtroom. The Giants hadn’t lost an arbitration hearing since A.J. Pierzynski in 2004, but they couldn’t come to an agreement with Davis. They filed a proposed salary of $6.55 million, while Davis submitted $6.9 million. An independent arbiter determined Davis was worth the larger figure. Now, over a difference of $350,000, he stands to potentially lose out on almost all of it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go to Game 6. Walking out after Game 2, someone tried to talk shit, and I told him he had just watched the last game at Busch Stadium. Fucking Pujols meant it wasn't true, but it shut his ass up at the time.

Too bad medicine hasn't figured out a way to transfer his head/testicles to Whitley.

2005 NLCS Game 2, I was at the game in St. Louis (total shithole) and talked so much shit as Oswald dominated them. I love that guy, he was fearless.

No, but it was Dubon

I would still have bought him an ice cream cone

Kalas is in midseason form. Has no idea who anyone is.

Man HR for Yordan, kid HR for Pena

You think Bregman's contract is going to depend on his ST production?

From The Athletic extension series—I would be all over that Kyle Tucker (27) Controlled through 2025 Last year’s projection: Nine years, $211 million Tucker won’t make as much as Guerrero in arbitration, but his all-around game gives him a strong chance to top $200 million in an extension. His comps include a former Astros outfielder: This trio pegs Tucker’s open-market value right around $29 million per season. Let’s buy out six free-agent years at that price (through his age-34 season) and add on about $30 million for the next two seasons in arbitration. He’s basically right on the same track he was a year ago. 2024 salary: $12 million Extension projection: Eight years, $204 million Comps: Jacoby Ellsbury (2014) 30-36yo fWAR1 4.6 fWAR3 14.9 7yr@adjusted $28m AAV George Springer (2021) 31-36yo fWAR1 4.8 fWAR3 14.3 6yr@28.5M Jason Heyward (2016) 26-33yo fWAR1 5.6 fWAR3 13.4 8yr@29.0M

No doubt. Did that ball get to the warning track?

I loved Kerfeld as a kid.

Altuve got paid and doesn't care. Bregman is pressing because it's a contract year. Right?

Hopefully the later start helps JV be fresher in October. Trying to be optimistic. Because it's kind of shitty

Didn't watch, but appreciating the box score. 7/7 stolen bases against, 4 errors. Sounds like a Little League game.

He hit 2 HRs and all the Giants fans were so excited, is he another Farhan Zaidi find? No, he fucking sucks, and collecting a bunch of shitty cheap players is not a secret recipe for success.

I can't believe some of you are ok with these lackluster performances with only 8 months until the World Series. 110%!

Unlike the bats, the posters are ready for the regular season.

0-2 today. Espada has lost the team already.

CB Bucknor is ready for the regular season

I thought that was gone Altuve, not Bregman. You know, the one with power.
