Al Micheels has been a great announcer and has had a legendary career but I think it may be time for him to hang it up. He can’t understand why the Falcons are going for 2 points to make it a 21 point game instead of a 20 point game with 3.33 left? And no help from Kirk Herbstreit. Very unlikely the Packers would score 3 TD’s in 3 1/2 minutes but you don’t take chances if you wanna win in the NFL. SMH 🤦🏻♂️

This is exactly why I get on Rafael Devers. Leading off the 7th, down 1-0, he pops one up and stands at home plate watching it. The ball drops, and if he hustles out of the box, he’s standing on second base. Even Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow called him out for it. Yes, Devers can hit. But being a complete winning ballplayer is about more than hitting. It’s effort, awareness and doing the little things when every run matters. That’s not winning baseball.

Batting average can lie. Just look at Luis Arraez. Yes, he can hit .300 and win batting titles. But his on-base percentage should be much higher than it is and there’s a reason why. He chases. Arraez refuses to walk. He swings at pitches out of the zone, even in key moments when his team desperately needs base runners. In this video I’m showing two back-to-back pitches where he swings at ball four. That cannot happen from a guy whose value is supposed to be getting on base. This is what I call a soft .300. The batting average looks great, but the impact is limited. He doesn’t drive the ball with authority. Low exit velocity. A lot of soft contact. And because he won’t take walks, he leaves OBP on the table. Imagine if he added discipline. If he simply took what pitchers give him, his OBP jumps and now you’re talking about a completely different level of player. Instead, you get a hitter who racks up singles in hot streaks but doesn’t maximize his value. High average. Low leverage. That’s the difference.

I’m glad Rafael Devers is proving me wrong. I’ll gladly own that one. The guy is on an absolute heater right now and looks unstoppable. 20 for his last 47 with 8 HRs. The Mets broadcast, which I think is the best in baseball, raves about Devers here and they’re right. hopefully this carries into 2027 because it’s a win either way for the Giants. If Devers keeps hitting like this and helps turn this thing around, great. That’s what we all want. if the Giants are still losing, at least he’s rebuilt his value to the point where he becomes a legitimate trade piece and they could actually get something back for him. Earlier this season he was basically untradable. Not anymore. Keep it going Raffy.

The Giants have officially become the Bad News Bears. They find new ways to give away runs and lose games every single day. Top of the 7th, Giants lead 1 to 0. Yordan Alvarez leads off with a single. The next batter hits a tailor made 6-4-3 double play ball, but Willy Adames inexplicably lobs the throw to second, forcing Basabe to rush his throw to first. Runner safe. Instead of 2 outs and nobody on, there’s still a runner aboard. Then the next batter hits a routine fly ball to left and the left fielder completely whiffs on it. Now it’s runners at 2nd and 3rd with only one out. Next batter, sacrifice fly. Game tied 1 to 1. A routine double play and a routine fly ball. Make those plays and the inning is over with no damage. And if Adames is hurting, which might explain that throw, then why is he playing in a meaningless season? Sit him down, get him healthy for next year and let one of the kids play. Instead, the Giants gift the Astros the tying run. It’s the Bad News Bears, MLB edition. This team finds a new way to beat itself every day.

21-year-old Bryce Eldridge just hit his 13th home run of the season and is starting at first base for the third consecutive game. On a losing team that is supposed to be focusing on future development, the choice should be obvious: play Eldridge at first base for the rest of the season. At a towering 6'7", Eldridge brings an incredible athletic profile to first base. His massive frame already gives infielders a vast, elite target to throw to, and he is proving to be a much better, more agile defender than Devers. The best part? At 21, he has immense room to grow as a player. As he gets older and fills out his 6'7" frame, he is going to put on actual muscle weight, making him even stronger with even more scary power. Looking at the stats, Eldridge's recent strikeout rate uptick puts him at 26.7%—virtually identical to Devers’ 26.6%. The fact that a rookie learning the league is already matching the strikeout production of an established veteran tells you everything you need to know about his high ceiling. Meanwhile, Rafael Devers continues to prove he is a "me-first" player rather than a "team-first" guy. At this point in his career especially with the massive bag he is being paid, he is best suited as a full-time DH. If he refuses to accept that role and demands to play first base over a rising star, it completely cements his selfish attitude. A true team player and veteran leader would do whatever it takes to help SFGiants win and let the youth develop. Instead, Devers brings zero leadership, routinely fails to run out pop-ups, and exhibits the exact same toxic, malcontent attitude that wore out his welcome in Boston and caused the Red Sox to ship him out. It’s time for the SFGiants to stop catering to an overpaid, selfish veteran. Move Devers to full-time DH, let the young 6'7" powerhouse develop at first base, and commit to the future. #SFGiants

Bryce Eldridge is 21 years old, and teams already pitch around him with the bases loaded. Down 2-1, he challenges a low strike call and wins. Works the count to 3-1, fouls off a pitch, then never sees another strike. Ball four. That’s not just plate discipline. That’s respect. Elite strike-zone awareness. Elite maturity. And a growing reputation as one of the most clutch young hitters in baseball. The Giants have something special.

I have been critical of Rafael Devers all year, constantly saying he is just not the true difference-maker this front office thinks he is, and today's game against the Brewers gave us the perfect example of it. Bottom of the 5th, two outs, a runner standing on second base with a righty on the mound, an open first base, and a light-hitting Jung Hoo Lee waiting on deck. In a tight, one-run game, if Devers was truly the "feared" superstar the Giants are paying him to be, the Brewers dugout would have immediately held up four fingers. They would have happily put him on first base via an intentional walk rather than risk giving up a long ball, preferring to take their chances with JHL. Instead, Milwaukee didn't blink. They went right after him. In fact, they practically had him struck out on one pitch, but the catcher couldn't hold onto the foul tip. Even though the 12-pitch battle eventually resulted in a walk, the strategy spoke volumes: the Brewers simply do not fear him. If this were a proven elite superstar like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, Yordan Alvarez, or José Ramírez, they get a free pass to first base 10 times out of 10 in that exact scenario. But opposing teams treat Devers like just another guy in the lineup because he lacks that elite gravity. To prove the point, JHL came up right after the walk and weakly grounded out to end the inning. The video proves exactly what I've been saying all season: the aura just isn't there, and opposing managers know it.

Hate to keep focusing on the negative but I have to point out to the casuals one of the many reasons why the Giants are not a good team. Look at the difference between the Dbacks & the Giants on basically the same play. One team hustles & puts pressure on the defense & forces an error which leads to the tying run the other team gives about a 75% effort. It’s these little things in baseball done consistently that can make a difference between winning & losing. Sterling Bennett🔌💭 Steven Rissotto (Two of the casuals still learning the game)

9 minutes of drills (Great background music)with balls hit to the right side & Pitchers covering 1B. Tony Vitello hitting the balls. (Love seeing his involvement in the details) Ron Washington coaching up Eldridge & Devers. Another coach shouting out the time it took to record out. You can hear him shout out 3.6. The average runner from Home to 1B is 4.2-4.3 seconds.

For a guy who’s out of options & in on the fence of making the team is this the kind of effort you want on the roster? Jerar Encarnación just flat out showed no hustle or character on this play. It was very close to being a foul ball but to stand at home plate & not run when you’re fighting for a roster spot doesn’t settle well me. But more importantly how does it settle with Tony V and Buster when you’re trying to change the culture? For me this is a deal breaker for a guy that’s older and less talented than other guys fighting for a job.

The Giants broadcast acted like the umpire cost the Giants a run because the runner “should’ve been out” at second. The problem? Replay showed he got his hand back on the bag before Adames tagged him. The call was right. Yet there was no correction after all the complaining. That’s not analysis, that’s homerism.

Rafael Devers (Nevers) Never makes contact. He constantly misses pitches down the middle. His K rate is now 31.7% 27 K’s in 85 PA. Combined with last year’s 29.3% K rate with SF he has been absolutely awful with SF. You can live with the K’s if he’s hitting close to his career BA of .275 but he hit .236 last year with SF & is currently hitting only .213. If he doesn’t produce closer to his career numbers, the Giants season is likely to be a very long one. If his performance continues like this into July the Giants should do whatever it takes to trade him. (Pay 1/2 his salary & get some top prospects before he loses too much value.
