EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 22hThe Giants AFL affiliate, Scottsdale Scorpions, kick off the AFL season tomorrow at 3:30 PT. Same time as Yankees-Rays. 000
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 23hDoval: $6.6MM (slightly cheaper than expected) Schmitt: $2.5MM Foley: $2.3MM Hentges: $2MM Walker: $1MM Knizner: $1MM RandRod: $800k Buttó: $800k 121
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Excited for right-wing media to start talking about how Sophie Cunningham got blackballed 020
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Is the 81-81 team that made the playoffs not actually that good? My column: 010
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It’s been a few years since Mattingly left his left-handed ace out to dry in the 7th inning of a decisive playoff game, but I’m glad we’re back around on it 110
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Mahle ended up as 1 of 8 free agent pitchers to put up a 2 fWAR season 1.2 of that was in Atlanta, where they raised his splitter usage to 36-38%. But they still threw a dart on a good target. 020
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Go back to the 2020 clip of Luciano’s alleged 119 EV and try to imagine him being in AA while Ryan Rolison gets playoff innings in 2026 110
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Michael King with the adrenaline velo boost is basically unhittable for righties 000
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Hindsight is 20/20, but there is a fine line between “oh, good, your best to the top of the order after securing the lead” and “9 out save” 100
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Is Sale considered part of the Kershaw/Scherzer/Verlander/Greinke generation or the deGrom/Cole/Wheeler generation? 100
Reposted by EBEB @ebgp.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Every first time manager has to prove that they can grab hold of the reins and what we’ve seen from Vitello is a “dudes will be dudes” mentality that allows veterans to do whatever the hell they want. From Chapman/Adames playing through debilitating injuries to the bullpen’s show of “faith” 031
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026When Posey says they "overestimated some of the guys that we had in the pen", is he talking about anyone other than Walker? 210
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Musgrove’s velo has been +1.4 on his rehab assignment by the way 101
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Looking over the playoff teams. Rays bullpen scares the hell out of me but their rotation is ridiculous. That’s something I never thought I’d say 010

EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If Ohtani’s not hitting in the playoffs, the Dodgers are in trouble 120
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Doval’s got an expensive arb3 coming up, especially when you look at his last few years (and a 0.0 fWAR this year). That said, he’s still got a great slider and his sinker looks better than it did when the Giants traded him. He likely would be near the top of the non-tenders list 030
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026IMO Falvey is a solid player evaluator, but haven't been super impressed by Minnesota's dev infrastructure which is where the Giants' focus needs to be 000
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026As the Giants lose Tidwell too, it becomes even more important that they find a creative way of getting young, MLB-ready pitching depth. This group of Molina, Wilkinson, Perdomo, Marte might cover some spot starts but they won’t carry you if someone has to miss a lot of time 150
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026A very special group of pitchers with 400+ RHH BF grouped by highest wOBA allowed in recent years 010

Fellow righty Camilo Doval has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. More to come. 1123

EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Start of September, Giants elected not to call Davidson up. Rationale was reportedly that they didn't want to take playing time out of the Hill/Gilbert/Cox/Lee conglomerate. Most likely calling Davidson up now is a little excitement for the final homestand, and he's R5 eligible anyway. But... 130
Reposted by EBSF Giants Bot @giantbot.bsky.social · 21/09/2026🤖 Justice delos Santos Outfielder Bo Davidson, the Giants’ No. 5 prospect per Baseball America, will be in San Francisco today, per source. Team has yet to finalize if he’ll be activated, but it’s likely. Davidson was hitting .309/.389/.534 with 10 homers and 6 steals for Triple-A Sacramento. 0123
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The Giants activated Hentges from the IL and he was apparently unavailable tonight...? 120
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Imagine telling someone last year that Brandon Lowe and Luis Arraez would be the second and third best defensive second basemen 021
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It's mostly the rise in cutter usage when the pitch has a .374 wOBA against and 22.9% whiff%, although he really shouldn't be using that four-seamer to righties as much as he is 000
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Logan Webb had a 65.8% LOB% in 2026 (lowest since 2019-20) and a 16.5% K% with runners on base (career mark = 19.4%) Logan Webb CH+SW usage with runners on base 2024: 54.4% 2025: 54.3% 2026: 42.0% Hmm… 110

EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We need the salary cap to bring us parity from large market teams like Milwaukee, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Tampa Bay dominating the playoff conversation year after year 020
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Bubic has been pitching out of relief with the Dodgers and has been sitting 93 110
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Coming into today, Jung Hoo Lee was slashing .252/.296/.360 at home and .299/.339/.435 on the road. It's probably mostly noise and off the back of a .265 BABIP in a small sample split. But, how successful can a 2.3% barrel rate be as a LHB in Oracle Park? 100
EB @ebgp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026RandRod will be headed to the AFL. Players on the MLB IL are allowed to be sent there for a rehab assignment (Reds did so with Rhett Lowder last year). So treat it the same: how he performs is significantly less important than how he looks 120
