In-Depth Analysis: Giants' Struggles in MLB Context

We mentioned, Craig, of course, uh, two teams and, and really the one game that's on the board that doesn't have two teams that might actually, or at least one of the two teams playing for something, the Giants at the Royals and the Royals one, I mean, you want to talk about laughable, but the Royals won on a walk-off squeeze bond last night, right? When is the last time that you've seen that or anybody actually even attempt that? So another low scoring game, two offenses that just can't be trusted at this particular point to score enough runs, 95 degrees at Kauffman stadium. They turned, you know, they, they kind of adjusted the dimensions in that park to cater to maybe some more home runs. But I mean, two teams that I first won the four wins because that I don't care who's pitching. No. Yeah. This is that game that, uh, you could give me Cabo Verde against Uruguay. I think I'd rather watch that one. This is an awful game and the Royals are disappointing, of course, but Joe, the Giants franchise is in a very strange state here. And I know a few years ago they ended up winning a hundred games and they ended up winning the division somehow. I know they didn't win the world series that year, but people forget the job. I think it was 2021 or two. The Giants ended up winning over a hundred games, but they can't seem to get things figured out. Like they brought in, I mean, Joe Farhan Zaidi was very integral in what the Dodgers were doing. He could not get that fixed in Sam. I mean, think about that. And he was doing what he was doing with, with, uh, Andrew Friedman in, in LA. He couldn't get it fixed with the Giants. And so they bring in Buster Posey because all of a sudden they think, all right, well, uh, you know, maybe not that analytics isn't the way to go, but you know, Buster Posey, he's a team captain, he's a leader, you know, maybe this and, and, and Joe, it has not gone well for him either. Players don't want to sign in San Francisco. They don't. The only way that they can get guys to play there is, is training for them. As we saw with Devers and then they handed him that contract, by the way, Devers has been really good. I want to say the last few weeks too, if people have not been paying attention, he is now putting together a really good season. But the truth is, is that once they did that, that sort of gave them the payroll they had and they're like, all right, we got to stop. Well, that's not good enough. Joe Giants are in an odd, odd position having basically Joe, almost endless money to spend in a very big market. Can't get players to go. What happens when you can't get players to go there? You end up getting players that didn't, that you didn't want in the first place. Now that you're second and third options, how does that usually work out? Not very good. So I'm hopeful that city and that team get it worked out eventually. And probably secretly Joe, I'm guessing that in the CBA meetings, they're like, yeah, give us the cap on the floor because we're never going to be able to beat the Dodgers if this is the way this is going to go forever. I mean, you put LA versus San Francisco. They're going to pick LA almost every single time. So that that's, it's, it's tough, man. I, I, I, right now is not a good time to be a Giants fan. Let's just put it that way.
