Chronicle for Giants coverage. Not sure what local rag in Arid Zona best covers the D-Backs... The Giants seem to be a bit of a media darling at the moment and seem to be a front-running favorite, which kind of scares the crap out of me. Not really used to that. Yeah, that's great. Cheers. So the Giants look like being competitive this year? That's good, at least I should get to see a useful side, maybe two since that USA Today article seems the think the Diamondbacks will be ok as well.

Yeah, going to have to pass on that. Ya know, I was sad to see him go, but given Duffy's emergence and the season Pablo posted last year, I have to be happy with the way things turned out. That being said, you've never seen anything like this guy when he gets on a hot streak. I truly hope you get to witness it, cause I've never seen anything like it. When he's on, he hits what appears to be unhittable pitches for power. I've never seen a guy hit low pitches, way out of the strikezone the way this guy can.

The D-Backs look to challenge for the division, methinks. They've made some really nice pickups in the offseason. That should be a good, competitive series to catch.

He was the biggest free agent pitcher this year and he jumped from the Giants' most hated rival to the Diamondbacks. 2 minutes ago, Manhole Eunuchsbane said: Yeah, going to have to pass on that.

Well, hopefully Dombrowski's plugged enough holes that they'll actually get to the playoffs, so I can see some of his fabled postseason prowess. Liking cheesecake posts from Instagram models while he's in the bathroom at a game, shitting out the cheesecake he ate earlier in the day, was not a good look.

If you can catch Bumgarner vs Greinke you're probably watching the two best starters in the N.L. And yeah, Pablo has issues for sure, but it's not just the postseason that he does this in. He's a really streaky hitter. Tends to mash for a month, then disappear for another. He's really fun to watch when he's on. I hope you get to see that.

I already booked the tickets, I wasn't sure how hard they'd be to get closer to the date so I thought it's better to get in early. So it'll be luck of the draw on that I suppose. Still, I'm pretty happy I've gotten lucky with two potentially competitive sides (in fairness the only other option I had was the Marlins and I thought a game against a team in the same division was more likely to be significant so early in the season).

Ah, I missed that part of the initial post. I think your competitive analysis is probably correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Pesci Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 So Jose Bautista sets his number for the Jays to resign him at 5 yrs, $150 mil and won't negotiate with them. Sure he's still very productive at the plate, but who in their right mind is going to give a guy who will be 37 next year $30 mil a season? I'd laugh in his face, and trade him to get at least something back in return. Let another team deal with this pompous attitude. I'm all for players getting paid fairly, but this is over the top.
