Gallo hit another ridiculous home run yesterday. That's four in the last three days.

Jury's still out on whether he's actually good at baseball but god drat I love watching him swing. That combo of size + bat speed + plate coverage + uppercut, it's unreal. http://imgur.com/HzXCswD

Belt got beaned last night and has concussion symptoms :(

Giants put him on the concussion DL and call up.... Pablo Sandoval? Am I stuck in a time warp here?

Brandon Belt needs to get out of San Francisco. He is doomed to bad luck and tepid fan response as long as he remains

Sorry, that was rude. What I meant to say was I hope all your favorite players leave, too. Kershaw would look awesome in a Yankees uniform.

For some reason the Pirates claimed George Kontos on waivers, so the Giants gave him to them.


:confused: Not sure why we would give away a useful RP instead of just cutting Matt Cain

Hyperextended knee and he's getting an MRI tomorrow, is what Dusty said after the game.

Major league hitters have struck out 21.6% of the time this year, which would be a record. It'd be the 10th straight year that that record has been broken. Joey Gallo is on pace for the most strikeouts/PA in a season ever, and Trevor Story and Miguel Sano are currently 3rd and 4th all-time (Fangraphs link)

Truly, we are living in a golden age of failing to hit the baseball.

Lucas Giolito makes his White Sox debut tonight. His stock is down due to control problems and a big drop in velocity, but this dude was a top 10 prospect like a year ago. Curious to see what he's got.

Wonder if Verlander gets shipped out too if Detroit's doing a full rebuild.

LOL this makes no sense, if you're punting on 2017 why wouldn't you just trade him to the Cardinals or Cubs anyways and get someone back.

The GM says in that press release that the claiming team wouldn't offer a significant prospect though. Is it better to give away a player for nothing, or trade him to your hated division rival and get back some org filler non-prospect? IDK

That's not too bad tbh

I wish Daz hadn't busted so hard but I'm sure he'll turn into a beast now

So is Perez the jewel of the trade?

e: Oh poo poo he's their #3 prospect, or was

Cameron's a 20-year-old in low A ball and he is a bust? Seems harsh. Who even cares about rookie league stats anyway.
