    Lol. Yeah, he hasn't shown any power yet. But, i think that will come eventually as he gets more comfortable. And his run/rbi opportunities haven't been helped by him batting 7th and 8th in the lineup. Although, he's been consistent as far as hitting for contact goes. I think this year will be a solid foundation upon which Bart can build on for 2021. The Giants must really be satisfied with his defense to be playing him almost everyday at the toughest position. And he's still only 23 years old.

            • Not a Giants fan but the home plate umpire in todays game should never be allowed on a diamond again. Some unbelievable strike calls including to end the game and the Giants season.

                  Frank Drebin I think. Possibly Rob Drake after a search.

                      Well, I found out what Pence is doing with some of his new free time - he's become a competitive Magic The Gathering player.
                      I'm just here for the baseball.

                      • Donovan Solano may be the most disrespected major leaguer in recent memory. All that guy does is hit! No power, no speed, but he sure can hit!

                            Nope. My son works in the gaming industry, and also knows baseball - called me over when Pence was doing on-line battles for tournament training back last year. Seems he's a pretty good player, too.

                            • Giants place RP Jake McGee on the COVID-19 IL with vaccine side effects. That explains yesterday's blowup.

                              • Crazy story:

                                In April of 2020, Drew Robinson attempted to take his own life.

                                The 27-year-old placed a pistol to his temple and pulled the trigger while sitting in the living room of his Las Vegas home.

                                On Wednesday, he made the 25-man roster of the Sacramento River Cats, the San Francisco Giants Triple-A affiliate. The accomplishment marked a remarkable milestone in Robinson's return from the depths of depression that he spoke candidly about last November with ESPN's Jeff Passan.

                                That Robinson survived that day at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic is a miracle. He told Passan that he woke up 20 hours after the self-inflicted gun shot wound with a hole in his head and fear that he had lost an eyeball. He was right. The gunshot wound had ruptured his right eye.

                                But when he woke up, he realized that he wanted to live. He called 911.

                                "I need an ambulance," he said on the call, per Passan. "I tried to commit suicide last night, and I made it through. I think I detached my eye maybe. I can't open my right eye and I have a huge hole in my head and I'm in a lot of pain."

                                The bullet caused significant damage, but missed Robinson's brain and major arteries. Since surviving the initial trauma and medical recovery from the gunshot, Robinson has split his energy between telling his story in an effort to inspire others dealing with mental health struggles and trying to make a baseball comeback.
