    Care for an avatar bet the finish no higher than 3rd in the NL West?

    yes I was wrong about the end of May, most illusions take time to be exposed. I'm sure SF's moment is on the horizon.

    BTW, I'm not saying the Padres will finish 1st, but both SD and LA are far better than SF in pretty much every capacity--but congrats on a good run in the first third.

      I also expect the Giants to finish third. But, i always love a good underdog story.

        As do I , but I'm somewhat skeptical that these great pitching numbers around all of MLB, especially by washed up, never was and joruneymen arms has something to do with the chemicals being put on the balls and though I might just be Q Anoning it seems like another--everyone's doing it so MLB is looking the other way as they did in the Roids era. SF seems like a rotation FULL of guys like that so I'm probably being a tad harsh on them.

        It's not just SF, nor do I think there aren't Padre arms doing the same--It just makes me a bit annoyed, that's all--nothing personal

          was curious enough to check the xERA per HQ of each SP - a better predictor of future success over the long run, though sample size comes into play here in just 1/3 of a season.

          the rankings so far by xERA, then lists ERA

          SD Musgrove 2.59 (2.08)
          SF Wood 3.00 (2.44)
          SF Webb 3.04 (3.86)
          SF Gausman 3.21 (1.40)
          SD Darvish 3.67 (2.16)
          SD Snell 3.86 (5.55)
          SF Sanchez 3.98 (3.18)
          SF Cueto 4.00 (3.86)
          SD Weathers 4.10 (1.31)
          SF DeSclafani 4.21 (3.56)
          SD Paddack 4.31 (3.61)
          SD Lamet 4.43 (2.57)

          pitchers with a better xERA are Webb and Snell (a lot of these ERAs are low, so not surprising there aren't many with "underperforming" results so far)
          finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

            Giants place 3B Evan Longoria on the 10-day IL with a left shoulder sprain.

            Longoria is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. If you missed it, he injured the shoulder on Saturday while trying to cut off a ground ball that was hit to SS Brandon Crawford which resulted in the two players colliding. So, it could have easily been avoided with better communication and/or awareness.

              Seems to be a lot of that going around in the NL West...

                The Giants shockingly send LaMonte Wade back to AAA. Wade was batting .265/.344/.470 with a 125 OPS+, but he had options remaining, so off he goes.

                  Now at the all-star break and the Giants have the best record (57-32) in all of baseball. It may be time to start taking this team seriously.

                    Bad loss for the Giants tonite. Leading 6-1 going into the bottom of the 5th, the Dodgers score 4 over 2 innings. Tyler Rogers comes on in the 9th leading 6-5, walks the 1st two on 9 pitches and gives up a walkoff HR to Will Smith. The good news is the Giants still have the best record in baseball, but now LA is only 2 games back.

                      I just can't see the current Giants roster will outlast the Dodger or Padres given the fact both LA and SD have endured more inquires to date and that both LA and SD are prepared to go over the Luxury tax to get better at the deadline.

                        If the Giants are buyers, I'd be pounding down their door, They have several primo prospects that they can afford to deal. So do the Dodgers, but you've gotta need a catcher...

                          The Giants are reportedly trying to trade for Starling Marte.

                            Dodgers had a chance to tie the Giants for 1st tonite. All they needed was a clean 9th inning from Jansen but he got only 1 out and allowed 5 baserunners and 3 runs and the Giants came back to win, 4-2.

                                Tonight, the Giants scored 4 runs in the ninth off of Kenley Jansen to win it 5-3. Wow!
