Giants 2025 WS run thread

Boston got robbed in that trade.

Devers is only 28.

They say he doubled off the Green Monster like 15 times this year. Those are home runs almost anywhere else.

Hell, Boston already sent Harrison to AAA. lol

Boston has owners who are trying to free up money so they can have LeBron (who is part of the group) head up the Vegas NBA expansion. They're selling part of the Penguins too, and word is they want out completely.

Devers has nothing good to say about ownership.
 
We’re in negotiations now. The wife wants San Diego. I’m undecided.
 
Nice going Turk… you jinxed the Giants.

They trade for Devers and still can’t hit with runners in scoring position.

BTW, Verlander is washed. 😡

Here a take on how the Giants will fare in the second half of the season. Totally valid…

Obviously, it’s more difficult to predict a second-half fall now that they have Rafael Devers in the lineup, particularly when you consider that he may be playing first base(the team’s biggest hole) sooner rather than later. But it has to be said that the Giants have been overachieving a bit. Their starting rotation has been Logan Webb, Robbie Ray and a prayer (particularly given Justin Verlander’s struggles). And while their lineup has its usual better-than-you-think guys, such as Wilmer Flores and Heliot Ramos, their middle infield has struggled (second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald was just sent down to Triple-A), and catcher Patrick Bailey has paired his Gold Glove defense with a .531 OPS entering Tuesday.
The key to the Giants’ success has been their relief corps, which has been excellent (Randy Rodríguez, Tyler Rogers and Erik Miller have been downright absurd) but will surely suffer the same bullpen fluctuations every other team in baseball suffers at some point. The biggest worry: all those one-run games. The team is 19-15 so far in them, but that’s the sort of tightrope walking that it’s tough to get away with for a full season. Can they really keep pace with the Padres and the rest of the NL Wild Card teams?

This guy has no clue what he's talking about. Giants have the second best pitching staff in the majors, second only to the Mets and that's with shitty Verlander on the staff. They had their great run in the early 2000's with pitching, defense, and timely hitting. They just added Devers and Posey apparently isn't done.
 
Disagree. Whoever wrote that up is pretty much spot on…

Take a look…

Starting pitching: Good, not great by any means. After Ray and Webb ( Webb seems to be getting Matt Cain-ed —- no much run support) it’s a crap shoot every night. Birdsong is young with promise but he’s got a ways to go. They dragged Roupp off the scrap heap and he hasn’t been good. Verlander is washed. Period.

Bullpen: Outstanding although Doval has had a tough few weeks after being dominant after being put back into the closer role. Overall might be the best pen in baseball.

Batting order: ugh. They just don’t hit. Especially with RISP. Its pathetic. I guess the plan is to put Devers in the field at first base. I have no idea if he can actually play there. That would be good if he can since finding a real first baseman was Job 1 in the off season and it didn’t happen. They finally figured out that Late Night Lamont was trash and did a good job getting Devers. Flores needs to be the DH cus he’s really not a very good first baseman. Bailey? WTF? Dude can’t hit. He looked great when he was brought up but since the second quarter of last year he’s been garbage at the plate. Very disappointing.

Take a look at the first half of the season. In a way they did it with mirrors. Lots of one run games where they had 4/5 hits and won in spite of themselves. That won’t continue. Again last night 5 hits and Doval gives up 4 runs.

No way they can contend with the Dodgers and Padres over the stupid 162 game schedule. Getting a wild card is very iffy.
