The giants only need a good closer. The Yankees have at least 2. To me it seems like the perfect match.

>>68069292
Not very often. But if the Yankees continue to be hot garbage it makes no sense not to trade Chapman for prospects considering he's a FA next year. Obviously trades in sports are extremely complex with a multitude of obstacles.
Basically I'm just saying it would make the most sense for the giants to target Chapman. They're in glaring need of a closer or at the very least another great BP arm.

That sounds good on paper but

I'm all for Chapman as a Giant purely because this off season DG was constantly shitposting about how Chapman was gonna be a Dodger and they were gonna be unstoppable etc etc etc
>>68069354
I don't know if the Giants would touch Chapman with a 10 foot pole after his allegations.
>>68070325
I think if it was just for a playoff run they might?
It's true that it feels like the Giants shy away from the high-drama players, though
>lastros
>>68070325
If it would mean another shot at a world series I bet they would consider it.
>>68070344
>>68070448
I just don't see it. I feel like they know how the vibe affects or "seems" to affect everything. I think it's more likely that either a) Casilla gets his shit together and stops pitching like a scared child or b) Strickland really does become the failsafe surprise closer or c) Some other reliever shows the stuff
>>68069015
Drugs are degenerate, m'kay.

Whoops.
What happened to Brandon Morrow?
Is he still ded on the Dads?
So the Orioles and Sox split their series and it remains tight at the top of the ALE. Did we learn anything from this series?
I'm an O's fan but the Sox offense is just scary, if they sustain this they will take the division despite their shit pitching. O's definitely get a WC spot though. Toronto may also.
>>68071141
Any 3 can win the division. It's going to be a dog fight all year and it'll come down to divisional play. I'm not convinced Boston is the winner because their pitching is god awful.
>>68070672
It's hilarious isn't it? Only thing better would have been if Alexei had errors to cause some of those runs.

>implying Trout isn't a Celestial sent down from the Heavens itself

GODLIKE
did Baker unironically let Gonzalez go back out there?
We can all agree bumgarner is the best hitting pitcher in baseball, compared to the rest of the leagues pitchers its like comparing mike trout to alcides escobar.
bumgarner has a 37% strikeout rate
he has a .200 OBP
he has a .140 batting average
that means he has more than 1 in 3 chance of not even putting the ball in play
he will move up a runner or get on base in 1 in 5 plate appearances
he will possibly drive in a run in 1 in 7 plate appearances
this means that statistically speaking bumgarner is extremely likely to not contribute a single thing offensively in a game, and hes the best pitcher in baseball by a long shot
so the best of the best in terms of hitting pitchers will statistically contribute fucking nothing offensivly to a standard 9 inning game of baseball

Name a better one that measures offensive ability

Wew lad, over the line
>>68079032
someone who drives in a run 1 in 7 plate appearances would actually be pretty good, desu, at least for the current giants offense

Batting average, OBP, slugging percentage, on base plus slugging, home runs, hits, RBIs.

Wow! you mean that seven stats combined is better than one by itself?
