JH LEEEEEEEE

I like these new guys

 

[Kingz19]

Been impressed with Lee so far.

I thought his last out was gone off the bat too.

He’s a player

 

[SLAB]

OPTED INTO A HEALTHY CONFORTO.

 

[The_Jamal]

BP vs the guy

Conforto heard you SLAB, he's pissed.

 

[Kingz19]

Grand salami for Conforto

 

[The_Jamal]

Save some offense boys, damn

 

[Kingz19]

Maybe Pat the Bat is the one.

 

[The_Jamal]

This dude throws haard. 99 as a lefty?

 

[Kingz19]

Not an impressive opening series for the bullpen.

 

[Warhawk]

Not an impressive opening series for the bullpen.

Yeah, and they didn't do so well against the AAA River Cats a week ago, either. That may need some bolstering.

Jung Hoo Lee is the greatest baseball player of all time. https://t.co/ZXN3xwm5NS

I guess we know who the odd man out is going to be when all the starters are healthy lol

Granted, Fitzgerald and Bailey muffs were killers

 

[dude12]

Jeffries is a great story but he ain’t it for the rotation

 

[Kingz19]

Gas can

Well, an involuntary bullpen game is better than a scheduled bullpen game. I’ll take a crappy starter over a good “opener” any day. I just don’t like it

 

[SLAB]

Can’t believe they DFA’d Bart’s worthless butt for someone even more worthless.

 

[dude12]

Teng looking like he’s also overmatched by every hitter.

i know SF has better minor league arms they can bring up besides these 2 guys….and I’m not talking the Whisenhunt or Blacks. Pen arms with better stuff

 

[Tetsujin]

After hitting .429 in Oakland’s opening series vs. the Guardians, the A’s optioned Esteury Ruiz to Triple-A Las Vegas today https://t.co/ty22rgeW9q

Good job?

Good job?

I guess he was making the rest of the lineup look bad? To add insult to whatever you want to call the John Fisher era, the A's have no reason to tank this year besides their cheapskate of an owner since the highest they're allowed to pick in next year's draft is 10th (as a team who receives revenue sharing money and who has "won" top 6 picks in the first two draft lotteries).

 

[The_Jamal]

Winn has a nasty breaking ball

 

[SLAB]

At least since the 107 season ender to the dodgers I’m not really annoyed by them anymore. I’ll enjoy any potential wins b it just accept all the probably L’s.

 

[Kingz19]

Giants have left a metropolis on the pads tonight. Paxton wasn’t even throwing well. Frustrating. Wilmer stinking it up.

Wilmer has left I believe 7 base runners on tonight.

 

[SLAB]

I had no faith in this guy. Was not happy when he opted in. Keep proving me wrong.

 

[SLAB]

Erik Miller gonna be hanging in Sac soon …

 

[Kingz19]

Bullpen is pretty much 0 for the season so far. They were passable in the Harrison start but not great. Awful in every other game.

I think they’ll be the “running theme” of the season. Completely unspectacular…like the farm system

 

[dude12]

Erik Miller gonna be hanging in Sac soon …

He has had control issues in the minors and still does. Fastball looks straight. There are other options in the minors who have outperformed him, soooooo…..

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

Just too many weapons

 

[SLAB]

Dodgers are just too good. It is what it is. Don’t have a read on the team. They’re good on paper. But so were the Padres last season and BobMel bungled them every which way. Still think firing Kapler was dumb. Should have had a come-to-Jesus meeting with the higher ups first. If he didn’t get more stern/serious/control, then fire him.

 

[Kingz19]

End of an Era

Kotsay actively trying get fired lol

 

[Kingz19]

Sigh

Giants can’t get a shut down inning to save their lives in this series
