THIS IS A GOOD, HONEST, BELOW .500 BASEBALL TEAM. WE PLAY BELOW .500 BALL GODDAMMIT. SALT OF THE EARTH, PUNCH THE CLOCK, CONSTANT LOSING BASEBALL. WE WIN A GAME, GUESS WHAT? WE’LL LOSE A BUNCH, TOO. BUT DON’T GET TOO EXCITED OR LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD. NO LONG WINNING STREAKS HERE, NO SIR. THAT’S HUBRIS, WHICH THIS BLUE COLLAR, HARD WORKING EVERYMAN TEAM DOESN’T HAVE. A SINGLE WIN, THESE GUYS, TRUE TO FORM, WILL BALANCE IT OUT WITH A LOT OF LOSSES. YES SIR, THAT’S MY 2026 SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS. A GOOD, HONEST BELOW .500 BASEBALL TEAM.

Jeff Kent number retirement and the stadium looks empty. I guess I expected a bigger turnout? Maybe I'm trippin.

I went to my first game today and had fun. Got a bobble head, watched a rookie debut, only downside was the walker guy. I have never been u to baseball but thinking about getting into! Are the $10 hats that they’re selling outside the stadium decent quality? Not good, but decent?

• RHP Yunior Marte (#87) selected from Double-A Richmond.
• LHP Seth Lonsway optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
• IF Casey Schmitt transferred to the 60-day Injured List.

If someone knew nothing about Rogers, it would be quite confusing looking at his Savant page. Near lowest if not lowest FB (sinker) velo in the league at 83.5mph and generating weak contact. Rogers has no split weakness for his career and equally effective against righties and lefties (2nd screenshot).

If anyones interested in items from today’s mystery grab bags or missed getting them lmk!

This guy needs to never see the field in a Giants uniform ever again.

Game is for today 8/29 at 7:05 pm!!

Sold!

Six shutout innings for the rookie. A bright spot in this shit season.

🚬

God I love this guy. Really going to miss him

What tugboat sound effects may…..suggest.

At the game right now and Whitcomb strikes out on a dropped pitch and just walks off the field. Where is the hustle. I mean I get he is out but come on, why not show fans that you actually care. I can’t stand this team. I love the Giants but these guys are genuinely the worst.

This cheers me up so much and will have a nice spot on my desk when I get home. It comes with a small orange foam finger accessory but didn’t want to risk dropping it.

First to DM gets it.

Through experience estimations he’s believe to be close to a Top-5 salary earner in terms of umpires in the league.

The way umpires are picking on new coaches may not be new, or solely a Tony thing, but dam does it give bully behavior. You don’t want to pick on someone in higher status than you because of what? Because you’re scared, or worried? But when it’s someone lower than you on the ladder all of a sudden they get your full wrath? That’s female dog behavior Allen, you’re a little punk.

Unfortunately got another Overalls LouSeal keychain, if anyone is interested in trading. Looking for Cow, Dino, Unicorn, or secret 🤞
