In Zaidi we trust - The Giants

“I tell people all the time: The person I didn’t like left already,” - Dubón

Dubón actually seems like a cool dude, good interviewee

He got a ring on that 22 Astros team too.

Dubón got absolutely shit on for being upset about the way the Giants were using him. I’m glad to see him thrive even though I hate the Astros

I wonder who he was talking about? Was it Gabe Kapler?

When asked about those comments on Monday, Dubón said that his issues solely lay with Kapler.

“I tell people all the time: The person I didn’t like left already,” Dubón said. “For me, that was the only problem I had. I like the guys. I know last year, I didn’t phrase it well saying I wasn’t treated right, but I just didn’t like one guy. That’s it. I’m cool with all the guys over there.”

The change of scenery ended up working out for Dubón. Under former Giants manager Dusty Baker, Dubón won a World Series in 2022, then a Gold Glove in 2023. Dubón is currently enjoying the best offensive season of his career, taking a .297 batting average and 107 OPS+ into the Astros’ series opener against the Giants Monday night.

“You always want to do that with your childhood team and everything,” Dubón said. “Thank God it happened with the Astros. The Astros gave me a chance. Dusty gave me a chance. A Sacramento guy, San Francisco guy gave me a chance to show what I can do. … I’m grateful for the Astros for giving me a chance to go out there and show what I can do.”

Xp yes

Going tomorrow for Father's Day. Maybe I can jinx them back to start a 15 game winning streak

After the rough outing, Doval's ERA jumped from 3.62 to 4.88 -- and his anger appeared to be at an all-time high:

octobeard broke the streak, thanks.

And why aren't you playing Wisely all the time?

Holy crap that was a fun game and 9 run inning. My partner and I scored it too and it was a fun one for the score sheet (except the 9th inning).

Great weather and all around perfect day.

I went to the game on Saturday which seemed less fun than Sunday's game. Was still a good time, though thanks to the pride celebration and the people I was with.

Forgot to mention, one of my favorite parts about yesterday was watching Hunter Strickland get booed while he took the mound and subsequently got rocked. F that guy.

Otm

Lol, yeah Hunter Strickland is not well liked in San Francisco.

Or Philadelphia for that matter.

How did they win tonight's game? Wow

BTW, that was the worst umpiring I have seen all year, atrocious!

Umpire Manny Gonzalez missed a SEASON HIGH 27 calls in the Giants Cubs game.

He struggled with consistency, calling 13 strikes and 14 balls incorrectly.#Giants #Cubs pic.twitter.com/Logm7rzZzh

Angel-esque

They killed the man but not the idea

I know I should give this team a break right now but man I'm frustrated. Can't even hit Hendricks.

Haven't won since Mays passing. Down to 2 starters. This year's team just isn't any good, mediocre.

I need something else to do.

Just need to blow off some steam.

Ha! You can join us masochists and play some Elden Ring and the DLC.

This team is not worth my time rn unless I'm at the ball park or they're playing a game like Rickwood. Zaidi be looking at his last season here I'm guessing, unless a miracle happens post ASB.

0-5 since death.

LaMonte Wade Jr. Was the key.

I don’t mean to sound so condescending here but this team is not very good, bee, it’s okay

What a fucking loser

https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/article/giants-nick-ahmed-discusses-rainbow-bible-verse-19540070.php

Ahmed never had participated in a Pride Day before, having always been on the injured list on the day in Arizona. He said Tuesday he briefly considered not wearing the Pride hat, but decided that he did not “want to do anything on my own in a way that was looked at negatively on anybody else.” Ahmed’s wife, Amanda, suggested the verse, and he said he is unaware that some Christian groups have used the verse in an effort to “reclaim” the rainbow for Christians.

“When I see the rainbow, and when I look in the sky, and I see the beauty of the creation that God made. I’m in awe of him, knowing the promise behind it and that is love is never going away, it’s not conditional, and he’s trying to fight and save.”

This is so fucking stupid

The Giants have not had any players decline to wear Pride gear but have had discussions beforehand with several who have had some reservations because of their faith’s teachings.

“faith”

sorry I’ll stop

It’s unreal to me, someone raised and still identifying as Catholic, that these losers exist.

I'm starting to think perhaps 2010-2014 was the zenith of human civilization.

Also, when the hell is Luciano ready so we can bench Ahmed and eventually move on from him?

My thoughts exactly

Hayden Birdsong is making his MLB debut tonight, and with that the Giants will have used 11 players who have made their debut in 2024. The most in MLB.

Dodgers v Giants for three and I can't watch because I cut the cord. Probably a good thing tho.

They just walked it off

Bee, I haven't had cable in over 20 years. Been streaming Giants games (as well as all other sporting events) since at least 2010.

Wisely should never be out of a lineup moving forward. What a stud

RIP Orlando Cepeda
