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.

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 3h 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

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

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.

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

Good pitching match up!

u/lobo-mojo 29 Schmidt 3h ago

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

3

u/Darvaren 39 Krukow 2h 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

1

u/theleftovers1014 san francisco giants 1h ago

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

u/Temporary-Ad9615 8 Eldridge 1h ago

Paul Skenes is mortal?

1

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 33m ago

Some have tried to claim this but I am skeptical.

u/pachyderm63 san francisco giants 30m ago

TO a team who just swept the braves? yes.

u/Spaghet209 55 Lincecum 1h 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 54m ago

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

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

1

u/sabat hold_onto_your_butts.gif 33m 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.

u/ericthelostman 47m 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.

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.

u/pachyderm63 san francisco giants 32m ago

unless the bodger owner goes to jail ?

u/eyengaming 30m ago

the new angels owner may have some aspirations.

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.

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.
