Yep, that pitch location would do it

Bryan Murphy@bryanmurphy· 26d

incredible. he definitely knows what he's doing

Bob Nightengale posts: "Lockout or not, MLB showing their optimism in labor negotiations that the 2027 season will start on time by announcing that Opening Day will be on March 25, the earliest in MLB history, with the regular season concluding Sept. 26."

He is one of those dudes whose posts always catalyze the opposite reaction.

Yes, that's what the cap was alllllll about Baby Brendan. It was about """"competition.""""

Buster Posey seems to being doing exactly what Bobby Evans tells him to do lol

Glad Bonta is the clown hosting this studio show when this graphic runs. Don't see a Farhan season here, bruh!

Sorted by plate appearances, though? Now this is podracing!

Casey Schmitt is second only to Shawon Dunston in the Oracle Park era (since 2000) in consecutive PA without a walk. Dunston: 246 PA. Schmitt: 165.

The whole list: https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/1j8i4

Bryan Murphy@bryanmurphy· Jul 8

Casey Schmitt has gone 38 games without a walk. Stathead is still a day behind on the sorting, I guess, but that's just the 8th time this century that a Giant has done that. Those from the Oracle Park era to accomplish it:

List of players sorted by streak of games without a walk. Shawon Dunston is #1 with 105 straight games beginning May 2001 and ending July 2002.

"I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning."

An image of Homer Simpson with his hands down on the Kwik-E-Mart counter, looking away from a TV in disgust. His heads down, too, and he's just about to shake his head and deliver the line, "When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work."

The Giants tried to recreate Kevin Gausman’s value in the aggregate as a #2 starter behind Logan Webb

Graphic breaking down Gausman’s salary vs the guys the giants brought in to replace him over the years. Gausman worth 6.1 fWAR more

Farhan Zaidi smiling. He famously opted to not re-sign Gausman

I don’t think they should be allowed to have two jobs, either.

Snip of a 2019 Vanity Fair article on McConnell:
“As the new Congress convened earlier this year, featuring a freshmen class of progressives, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed to do all he could to thwart Democratic proposals that made it to the Senate. Things like the Green New Deal and Medicare For All “won’t even be voted on,” he promised. “So think of me as the Grim Reaper: The guy who is going to make sure that socialism doesn’t land on the president’s desk.” Looking at the bills he’s recently axed in the Senate, however, one has to wonder exactly how broad his definition of “socialism” might be. Is a bill granting $1 billion for election security, that will reportedly never reach the Senate floor for a vote thanks to McConnell, an example of socialism? Is picking a fight with Jon Stewart over the 9/11 first responders’ fund a stand against socialism?”

Am I going crazy??? (Also, 14 out of 26 is still more than half!)

You know Google is cooked when it's making me an authority

A Google search -- "when's the best time to trade logan webb -ai" that lists as the top result the mccovey chronicles article I wrote in 2025 -- "When's the best time to trade Logan Webb?" -- but above *that* is sentence from the article itself in bold letters:

So given all that the best time to trade Logan Webb is after the 2026 season, provided the Giants are still a .500 at best team.

And then in tiny font: Dec 2, 2025

Buster Posey, your silence will only incriminate you further. (beat) No, Buster Posey! Don't take your anger out on me! Get back! Get back! Buster Posey, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "DRAMATIZATION. MAY NOT HAVE HAPPENED."

Bryan Murphy@bryanmurphy· Jun 23

It's not a 1:1, but the idea that a President of Baseball Operations can't have and can't express their opinion about a delicate topic is plainly not true!

"I mean, f— that guy. You can quote me on that. F— that guy."

circling back

From the quoted Variety article below:

"Everything costs more in L.A., starting with labor, due to the high cost of living and elaborate union agreements. Other states and countries have developed crew bases of their own, are more solicitous of producers’ needs and offer more generous incentives. Producers are also under pressure from the audience to deliver ever more spectacular experiences. Creating a premium product — at a price — often means going overseas."
