Thanks for your comments Dave. Wrigley is definitely tougher in left Handed hitters than RH but it’s still a good park to hit in with a lot of doubles and Kyle Schwarber hit 30 HR in 2017 and 18 were at Wrigley. In 2019 he hit 38 with 18@ home. Bellinger in 23 hit 26 HR and 14@ home. So it’s not nearly as bad of a park as you say. Thanks for the reminder of the 63 Dodgers I forgot about that during the show. I do think the Dodgers have the edge in pitching over the Giants all time but I think the Giants have the edge in the field with at least 6 of the 8 positions. 2 in the OF and 4 in the infield. Statistically McCovey, Kent, Crawford and Williams are all better than the Dodgers infield. I think Piazza has the better numbers over Posey. Both all time great franchises.
I have no idea what the Giants are holding onto as far as prospects. Really wanted them to go after Tucker. I would have no issues trading Doval, Luciano, Harrison, Schmidt, ect.
You guys are right the Adames signing will be a washed if we dont keep building and that means overpaying some free agents so we can compete. Adames wont even move the middle we are still a 500 team at best and 4th place in the west. So overpay for Burnes and get it done
What on earth are you talking about Dan? Wrigley is one of the worst ballparks in the majors for left handed hitters. The wind regularly blows in from right field taking it's toll on left handed home run hitters. Trading Tucker to the Cubs in his final year of arbitration is NOT a good outcome for him. Anymore than it would have been if he was traded to the Giants and their terrible hitter's ball park. I think you've maybe been watching baseball for so long at (Oracle, AT&T, PacBell, whoever the hell pays the Giants for naming rights anymore), that you can no longer tell the difference. Dodgers swept the Yankees in 1963. Dodgers - 1B Steve Garvey, 2B Davey Lopes SS Maury Wills 3B Ron Cey OF - Kirk Gibson, Tommy Davis, Willie Davis, Reggie Smith, Dusty Baker. C - Mike Piazza. P - Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Don Sutton, Fernando Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser, Tommy John.

he already got traded
@ that’s why I said “wanted”.
Even if Schmitt wins out the 2B position, Fitz could easily be the super utility player that plays everywhere and still plays 5 or 6 days a week!!!
I don't think a 2-year opt out is a deal breaker IMO. Just get the damn deal done.
Nico Hoerner makes a lot of sense for Giants 😊
I agree Marv. I like Hoerner a lot.

Hi all
