waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 18/08/2025@colemk.bsky.social To answer Alex’s question about the stolen base splits, Giants vs Opponents… As of 8/18 At Oracle Giants - 25 for 36 Opp - 53 for 72 Road Giants - 31 for 38 Opp - 22 for 31 Total Giants - 56 for 74 Opp - 75 - 103 -19 031
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 10/08/2025The Giants are last in stolen bases. (Groundhog day) Why… why are the Giants so adverse to building around speed in a park where run creation can be an advantage? Has this been addressed at all by Melvin or Buster? 110
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 10/08/2025@colemk.bsky.social How do I submit a question for Giants Talk? Can I do it here? 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 25/07/2025@colemk.bsky.social You guys were talking about inter division trades on the last Giants Talk. The big one is the July 4, 1987 Giants/Padres trade that brought Kevin Mitchell, Dave Dravecky, and Craig Lefferts to SF. Another one around that time was Dodgers/Giants, Candy Maldonado for Alex Trevino. 010
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Watching the Jays this weekend is a real wake-up call to how lacking this roster construct is. They do everything better offensively. 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/07/2025The Giants seem to be sick of high K rates. And I say it’s about time. Throughout MLB it’s been historically high for a decade. High velocity is killing the game. It’s not changing until pitcher roster limits are decreased again. I see this as a zag, but a calculated one. 020
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Some of the national guys are saying that isn’t the case. Saying you don’t pay a bench player 30+ million. I hope you are right. 110
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Diego probably deserves a promotion, but that means Richmond may never score again. 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Is his ceiling low? The only knock I’ve been able to find is foot speed. His film is fun. 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I asked asked Gundy this and he called him one of the most impactful players in college basketball. What are your thoughts on Yaxel Lendeborg and is he in play at 11? 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/04/2025‘73 myself, it is odd that you can go 40+ years where the best you can say is it was top heavy. 😂 010
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/04/2025The Chauncey discourse is hilarious. I’m seeing smart people who are using his W/L record w/ a mostly tanking team against him. Yet, these are the same people throwing tantrums about too many wins this year. What % of the games he’s coached here would you say they’ve tried to win? Seems relevant. 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Man, the eighties in the East was fun basketball. The fo fo fo 76ers, Celtics, bad boy Pistons. Bucks even had some deep squads. But even then, the East was top heavy. 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Gobert was 5th in DPOY in his 2nd year. I think Clingan has all defense in him in the near future. Would love to see him in shape day 1 next and as importantly, given the runway. 110
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Their numbers in Goberts 22 season vs Clingan’s 20 season are pretty close. Just some perspective. I think a C grade was kinda harsh. 110

waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Orlando has been grappling a bit with the fit of Franz and Paulo together. I have been on the Franz to Portland train and I’ve heard you mention him as a potential #1 for the Blazers if made available. What might a potential trade look like from the Portland side? I would think it would sting. 010
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Also, Michael Malone and his ilk weren’t even giving Portland an interview. Some Blazers fans have lost their minds. He doesn’t like young players.. one of the reasons he’s not in Denver anymore. 010
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/04/2025I like the development and despite flaws I think Chauncey’s the right guy for right now. I like the direction. Now, that doesn’t mean a change won’t be in order down the road. That’s common for teams looking to take a more difficult step. It’s 3 years. Does anyone expects a title run in that span? 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 25/03/2025I always have to laugh at how the same “sell the team!” crowd are quick to make issue with former greats who have problems with management. Bert Kolde sucks. Not a new take. 😂 110
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Nah, that’s my childhood through college. He was a gentleman and one of the two or three best players in the history of the franchise. Whatever issue he has with the organization it has nothing to do with the fans. 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Yeah, I know. I get it, but he means a lot to fans across the state. Wish it was different. 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 22/03/2025As a teenager at the time this was my group of guys. Sad about how the the relationship with Clyde has never been mended. He meant a lot to this state. 040
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Yes, I agreed with most everything he said except for the stuff regarding Denis. 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Eric, any reaction to Bontemps article on espn? He isn’t fond of how the blazers are going about this. Has them 10th out of 11 in the rebuild rankings. 100
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/03/2025What was going on was so obvious and egregious. I was shocked that it was barely mentioned postgame. I understand the Blazers were trying to win but nobody noticed the shenanigans going on? 010
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/03/2025@brandonsprague.bsky.social Can’t wait to hear you and Dirt’s thoughts on the Blazers “win”. 😂 Incredible tanking by Toronto. Brought back memories of John Butler jr. playing PG. Beat Blazers for 3 1/2 quarters and finished with G leaguers. 😂 bad win. 030
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Incredible close by Toronto. Not a starter in sight. 😂 pretty gross. 000

waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Hilarious tanking going on. Look who’s on the floor. 😂 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I have them finishing up 5-11 but 7-9 is in play. It might put you at 11th. Have no faith in Suns and Heat and I say that figuring Portland finishes below them. At some point they have to care about draft position, don’t they? 😂 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Was going to be difficult to finish below them before this. Now it’s probably impossible. Blazers have just shown zero interest in lottery position. Watch out for Miami. They’re awful. 010
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Man, Denis looks like more than a good secondary player when the 3 is going in. If someone had never seen him before tonight they would think he was a star. 000
waffles99.bsky.social @waffles99.bsky.social · 08/03/2025They are pretty relentless in attacking the basket against JG too. With success. But yeah, his offense is bad. 000
