    I think age is most likely the culprit here, he's not a kid anymore...and I get what he said when he shut down with us can be interpreted as whining about Davey's use of him...but in that particular case, I think he was 100% correct.
    Granted, it may have been the start of the chronological shut down, but he was spectacularly misused.
    There's not too many Satchel Paige 's throughout bb history...and Max is also not exactly a knuckleballer.

    @WashTimesSports
    Fans in San Francisco threw at least one baseball and a beer bottle onto the field Friday night in the direction of San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar, who called the crowd at Giants games "the worst in the league."


    Also the gayest in the league.

    Dodgers extend Trienen through 24.
    Does this mean it's less likely he returns this year?

    I don't get it at all...a guy who is a huge physical question mark and a total non- contributor gets millioms for exactly what ?

    Those two answers ^^^^ and 8 million dollars will get you a cinammon cappuccino at Starbucks.
    I'm not saying he won't be back, and that he's a shoe-in to shit the bed, but if potential and past performance are the criteria, then you could make a list as lomg a CT's swing behind it.
    Oh, and while we're on the potential and past performance narrative, have Jake Lamb and Pillar opened a tacos stand somewhere ?
    They sure seem like two viable sources of depth help until Muncy gets back a modicum of bb his skills back, especially given the tnree P's mentioned above...

    I sure hope Treinen can return to the guy he was last season. He was the unsung MVP imo. Maybe his current injury has to due with his workload last year but it felt like he was saving our ass in high leverage situations 3-4 times a week last year.

    Sure, we all want that, for sure. I think.
    But with a projected post AS game return, doesn't it make more sense to see how he looks after a few turns in relief ?
    I don't get why the extension now...at all.
    It's a swell, nifty, kean gesture, no doubt, but Caucasian, please...
    Laying out 8 million ( or so) is not gonna help him heal or throw or perform any better, than just giving him a caveat look see.
    What if he comes.back and can't reach the plate or something weird like that?
    We could've given that 8 mil to Kirsten or Dontrelle...everybody 's on board with that, right ?

    Dude said this but plays home games at Petco. I've experienced more problems in 2 games at Petco than somewhere around 10 in SF. Profar is also a cunt so he probably had it coming.

    So what's up with the Padres? Fuckers never lose nowadays and Machado is playing at an MVP level. They just destroyed the Giants in a 3 game sweep at SF and beat the first place Brewers last night. Surprised they're doing all of this without Tatis. Maybe he was the problem in the clubhouse?

    The good news is that the Giants have fallen off a cliff. Losers of 5 straight and a 10 run beatdown at the hands of the Mets last night.

    It's weird timing but I can rest easier knowing there's a clubhouse option after next season. If Treinen returns and pitches like his normal self, 8 million dollars would be viewed as a highway robbery for him. I get where you're coming from because we all saw what happened to Brandon Morrow after 2017 and there's always the chance he's never the same again which would be a massive blow imo. His ability to slot into the closer position and handle numerous high leverage situations has made him so valuable for the Dodgers.

    True. I remember Profar acting like a little bitch towards Kershaw last season.

    I just love seeing other teams/players stirring up shit with San Francisco even if they are massive douchebags.
