bader to the giants. And I thought this was the emergency podcast
Bader 1 hour before this is hilarious
Really? No emergency Bader segment added?
Giants have a full rotation?? Maybe a full rotation of meh….
Cole still happily oblivious.
23:58 cole needs to start his new career of being Nostradamus LOL
Ok cole ! I see you with the Larussell shoutout !!!!!
EMERGENCY BADER POD
I’m glad they didn’t get CJ Abrams… they named too many prospects I would never trade for such a mid infielder. I guess Posey & co. had some internal folks who saw much more potential in him, but it’s hard to see him as having that much upside over Schmitt.
🚨 EMERGENCY POD NEEDED 🚨
23:34 based alex
I love CJ Abrams, but I am glad that fell through! Why on God‘s green earth are we trying to get rid of a prospect? Who just made Baseball America’s top 100 and is definitely a better baseball player than Bryce Eldridge? What in the hell are we doing?
And dedicated fans who show up and droves is the reason the Giants will continue to make minuscule moves and call them progress. Imagine a San Francisco Giants team with the fan base actually held these owners accountable that would be awesome.
It seems rare now that players stick to the same position. The exception more than the rule. Everyone just seems expected to play multiple positions.
For all you that are saying that CJ is mediocre. 19HR 31 stolen bases and can play defense. I guess you’ll be happy with Schmitt at second base🤦🏻♂️
We can't win shite till Ohtani retires😢
26:38 that's why I'm not totally down on this offseason because they are making strides on the intl front. As long as they're building up some part of the org that will help out long term and consistently Ill be cool with that.
Also Alex 28:47 I know some parents who signed their kids up for chess lessons and some for music lessons that early, it's never too early LOL
Build your farm system to top 5th & then trading players will be easier.
Kyle Tucker would have attracted bigger crowds. Giants players haven’t been going to many of the events. The only two players on long term contracts that showed up this year are Jung Hoo Lee and Logan Webb. If Devers had shown up too it probably would have led to significant rise in attendance. Also parking is limited and the parking spots were already maxed out so the amount of people able to attend fan fests at these smaller venues is more limited.
People show up for free stuff. There are a lot of casual fans that attend these events that bring their families and of course most people aren’t going to complain to Cole in short conversation at a packed event. For the more informed fans you’ll get a more honest assessment in private conversations and online. A lot of the fanbase assumes the team will have another .500 season. At Tony Vitellos chalk their lineup needs weren’t even brought up until the end of the event. Ownership and the front office have said they won’t spend big so the fanbase has accepted another mediocre season
Screw netflix
Fan demographics also crushed the A’s. Gen X who grew up in the city and peninsula got priced out and moved to east bay. Now we all have kids who are Giants fans. A’s fans just got squeezed out
Alex I started piano lessons when I was 3 years old so you should totally try it with your son
So are the Giants off Nico and rather have Donovan? The Gaints rotation is awful besides Webby and Ray all of them have 4. Eras. They have to get a better arm, obviously Framber is the best arm left but they need to exhaust every option to get one more arm. I also expect birdsong to do way better this year and hope he takes the 5th spot.
Cole, I thought you were the guitarist for Incubus?
It's too bad the local media won't hold Posey accountable because he is Hall of Famer. My problem with Posey in particular is that he is ownership and that's gross. Definite conflict of interest right there.
