“Mr. Irrelevant”: Ex-49ers Star Disrespects Brock Purdy With Bold Patrick Mahomes Comparison

In his rookie season, Brock Purdy became the first player with the Mr. Irrelevant tag to throw a regular-season touchdown and the first San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback to start and win a playoff game.

5/31 Gamethread: Giants @ Rockies

The San Francisco Giants are playing awful baseball, and have lost six straight.

Rebuild? In our moment of triumph?

Should the San Francisco Giants initiate a formal, but modest rebuild with just a year and a half left on Buster Posey’s deal? On Wednesday, the San Francisco Standard’s Tim Kawakami made the case that they should, based solely on the results of April and May. Around here, I’ve seen people comment about how “this […]

It would be nice if this was the aging curve’s fault

Matt Chapman is having his worst start to a season ever at the plate. Through 57 games and 239 plate appearances, he’s slashing .234/.314/.322 with a 9.6% walk rate and 22.6% strikeout rate that comes to a wRC+ of 85, or 15% worse than the league average. He turned 33 on April 28th, so that […]

This game doesn’t deserve a recap title

What’s worse? An 8-6 loss decided in the 9th, or an 8-3 loss pretty much decided in the 1st?
