What Are The Giants Doing

What Are The Giants Doing

It obviously sounds like I may have been drunk now, but my prediction for where Shohi Otani was going to end up like a couple years ago was actually the Giants. I mean, you can’t tell me Show wouldn’t have gone kind of hard in the gay holy land, but he obviously chose GTA 5 and the Giants as a team have gone in a really interesting direction since they hired Buster Posey to be their general manager. Oh, sorry. President of baseball operations. I’m just going to call him the Grand Wizard. Wait, okay, never mind. That sounded cool until I realized with and anyway Posey of course not being a baseball exec until that point. Bro was a player for many years, a legend, one of the greatest catchers of all time, a winner. Well, he was now in the nerd role, which hey, it seemed to work out for the Rangers who had just won the World Series in 2023 with Chris Young, a 13-year veteran pitcher as the team’s front office leader. Maybe that played into the decision for the Giants. I mean, I guess this is a trend. Craig Brelo, the current GM for the Red Sox. He was a player for years, also a pitcher. He did have a front office role at the Cubs for a few years. But point is, this looks like it might be a trend right now to hire former players to run your front office rather than some nerd from Yale, even though Brezlo is actually literally that. You would never assume he played baseball if you just heard him talk. But hey, Posie in this role for the Giants was definitely interesting. a year into it, it’s been even more chaotic and historic than anyone could or would have ever imagined. So, thank you for being here, subscribed or not, if you haven’t joined the 49% elite humans. Consider hitting that button if you like the videos as it started with signing Willie Adamus to the biggest contract in Giants history given to him by Buster Posey as the front office wizard now who previously held the record for the biggest Giants contract. It’s like poetry sort of they rhyme. Every stanza kind of rhymes with the last one. It’s wild when you think the Rays signed a $182 million contract before the Giants did. But barring any minor issues, Adamus should work out much better. And he already has shown what he can do with this team. Even with a bad start so bad, you’d think he forgot what the concept of hitting a baseball was. I mean, he was brutal to start out his contract. But a much better second half actually ended his season looking pretty good again, especially for just how bad it started. I mean, July carried Adamus’ season like prime LeBron. August and September weren’t as good, but they were still better than the first three months. A lot better. When it was all said and done, he still popped 30 home runs, only two less from 2024, which was his career season. Part of why he got that contract to begin with. So, not an awful start to the Giants deal. Well, Posie also made a little trade. I don’t know if you remember, but he made a trade that made me think my jaw was going to snap in half. I was so in shock. I thought it was going to permanently look like this. He saw Raphael Devers having some daddy issues in Boston and said, “I can fix you.” And so across the country, Devers went to join the Gays. I mean, the Giants and they immediately turned into the worst team in baseball. Had nothing to do with Devers. He was actually not great immediately with the Giants, but he wasn’t bad. The team just fell off a cliff. The team did, not him. They went 4-9 the rest of June after they traded for him in the middle of June, then 9 and5 in July. And they weren’t necessarily good after that, but they were a lot better the last couple of months. They played around 500. They were mid, but when you struggle to win two games in a two-month span, 500 is like winning the freaking World Series. Endeavors had a great August. He hit almost 300. He smacked nine home runs. Hit another home run to start September. Got a pitcher all offended about it and then told him to suck my balls. What did you say? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Actually, what I said was, “How would you like to suck my balls, Mr. Gertie?” This was pretty badass. Look at Willie pulling his punch. This is probably This is probably the closest we got to a real fight this past season. Anyway, the Giants had a disappointing season in the end. Finished exactly at 500, tying the Rangers as the most mid team in baseball. In 2010, these two are facing off in the World Series. 15 years later, they’re having a mid-off. So, where do the Giants go from here? Well, they’ve already signed the biggest free agent contract in their history. They made one of the most shocking trades of all time to get a big middle-ofthe-art bat, which is now the biggest contract that they’ve ever had on the books in their history. What next? Well, Bob Melvin, their manager for the last two years, was fired once the season ended. They were ready to move on from him. So, it was time for a new manager. Well, how about making more history by signing a manager who has never played in the big leagues before. He’s never coached in the big leagues before. He’s ever coached or done anything in the minor leagues even before. Tony Vatello sounds like a guy who is about to cook up the greatest lasagna I’ve ever eaten in my life. Or he’s going to chop me up. No in between. Well, he’s been the head coach for the University of Tennessee, the college team for the last 8 years. He’s been coaching in college baseball for a long time. He that’s been his whole life. And the Giants hired him to be their manager. I mean, that’s goes without saying. Very fascinating. and he’s already pissing off Joe Madden, a former longtime big league manager who called it insulting. He said it appears as though you don’t have to have any kind of experience on a professional level to do this job anymore. That when he was growing up, there was a lot more you had to go through to get a job like this, that it took him 25 years to get a managerial job. And I I can understand this like in his perspective, in Joe Madden’s perspective, he’s looking back at everything he had to do and sees Vatello getting hired without any professional experience. But it’s also a different world we live in now. The criteria, I guess, is just different. I’m sure a lot of what they look for is the same, but a lot of what they look for is different. I mean, it’s definitely shocking, for sure. A college coach who’s only ever been a college coach jumping right into the big leagues. That’s not normal in any era. Vatella recently responded to what Madden said. This is interesting. He said, “I get it. I just wonder if he’ll still take my call because he was on my list of people that I wanted to call and seek out advice.” Damn. Giants broadcaster Dwayne Kyper also commented on it. He was just more straight up about it. Like Vatello had a little bit more of like a sly kind of way of throwing a jab at Madden and I can understand why he was maybe he probably felt insulted. I mean Madden literally said that he was he felt insulted by the hire. He did wish Vatella well and said that you know he hopes he’s successful and everything but you know it was kind of I can understand Vatella looking at that and being like what the hell dude. Well, Kyper just straight up said that he was insulted by Madden saying he was insulted. Well, what if I say that I’m insulted by you saying you’re insulted by Madden saying he was insulted? I think my furniture started floating for a second. Let me stop. Anyway, Vatello, I don’t know. I guess he just I guess he really impressed the Giants in his interview for the job. They really like him. I mean, maybe he has blackmail. I don’t know. I mean, there have been several high draft picks out of Tennessee over the years. So it seems Vatello has a history of getting the best out of his guys. He’s apparently a high energy dude with charisma. He’s well respected in the industry. So this doesn’t seem like a bad move right now. Like on its own with the person that he seems to be. Of course, even with all that, managing a bunch of college students is very different from managing guys making millions stacked on millions of dollars. It’s like the director for High School Musical getting hired to help direct Christopher Nolan’s next movie. Not that any of the Giants players are necessarily but it will just naturally be an interesting adjustment, even if Battel is very fit for the job, which it seems he might very well be. I’ve already talked about the Padres’s a couple times since the season ended, how they seem to be on a downtrend, and maybe they’ll be good next year, but the Giants to me seem like the most promising team after the Dodgers. The D-bags just can’t seem to find consistent good pitching ever. They might even trade away their best player, which could be a whole another video on its own. The Rockies exist. I I think so. It’s obviously not some set reality that the Giants will be good next year. Maybe this manager hire will age horribly. Who knows? But I don’t know. There’s a lot of interesting things being put into play by Posie in the gay holy land. The big contract players, they have some good pitching already with a whole off season to go to add right now. At least on paper, and you look at their division and everything, things look at least interesting, if not promising for next year. So yeah, love you.

Are the Giants being smart or dumb
