John Mozeliak better not be buying at the deadline. The team is rotten and needs to re-tool, starting with the coaching staff.

Obviously the problem is that Matheny doesn't have enough control!

When your favorite team trades away your star player for a couple of no name rookies in one of the most universally panned trades of all time and the other local team goes on a near perfect playoff run to win the championship, I think you'd be a little bitter too.

I assume this is Matt Duffy, who really still hasn't recovered from the Giants grinding him into a fine paste in 2015. The problems of the Giants are beyond the scope of what Matt Duffy could fix, unless he could make them take walks, or stop putting the ball on the ground, or DFA the outfield.

Non-baseball fandom being commented on in the baseball thread got me confused about what was being said. :v:

I don't understand how Beltran was as good as he was while being a switch hitter, so by virtue of baffling me, he probably deserves to be in the Hall.

What do the Yankees have as far as trade pieces? AKA what can the Giants extort out of them to fix their 1b/3b problems?

Also I just saw the thing on Deadspin about how George Springer is using the bat designed for Mookie Betts. I had literally never seen the axe handled bats before. I think about all the blisters I could have avoided... (never felt quite right wearing gloves when playing softball)

(more accurately I basically always forgot my gloves)

I didn't know that those were allowed in the majors, but I never looked into it.

Although my favorite Barry Bonds fact ever is there has only been one pitcher in history who faced Bonds 6 or more times and didn't let him reach base. That pitcher, Geremi Gonzalez, died by being struck by lightning.
Bonds was the lightning in that rain

They've played 5 fewer games than the Giants at this point.
