Giants have never had the first overall pick, and won't in 2018 either.

I'm fine with the number two pick. I don't believe the number one pick is particularly important in baseball, and the Giants have done well in the recent past picking in the top ten (Lincecum, Bumgarner, Posey).

Plus the fact that 2018's draft order was decided by Pablo Sandoval coming back to the Giants and hitting a walk-off bomb is funny to me.

Rosenthal's articles are behind a paywall now, but apparently he's reporting that other teams are under investigation for the same stuff the Braves did (like agreeing to sign foreign prospects before they turn 16). :munch:

The Giants have come in second to every IFA over the past decade but we'll be laughing when every other team is barred from playing in 2018.

The last player to hit three home runs in a playoff game? Pablo Sandoval in 2012 against Justin Verlander.

Good of Verlander to be on the opposite side this time.

Lotta questionable choice on the Dodgers roster IMO

Agreed. Who tf thinks putting Clayton Kershaw into a postseason game is a good idea?

It seems like every manager is always in a loving race in the playoffs to make The Perfect Pitching Change That Will Go Down In History and it always blows up and kills their entire team.

So I guess the Cubs have given up on "Try not to suck"

Go whichever of the Astros or Yankees will beat the Dodgers.

the best part of this match up would be that it'd anger Giants fans far more than anyone else or any other combo

Lol if you think Giants fans won't root for the Yankees with a clear conscience in that scenario.

When Dusty first got hired for the Nats I made some sort of joke to the effect that "The Nats could never past the first round, so they hired Dusty? Lol" but still, sucks for him.

Why??? Rags has been here since 2000, and been great. Though I guess after 98 losses the Giants are just looking to shake things up. Most of the coaching stafff under Bochy is getting reassigned to the FO, and Phil Nevin's a finalist for the Phillies' opening.

Bam-Bam I'm glad they're reassigning to the FO, as he's definitely a smart guy who could easily be a manager (and is a knight of The Netherlands), but the Giants need a new voice in there for offense.
