  1. Ohtani could have said a million reasons he wanted to play for the Dodgers... It is obvious to most of us who can see the forest through the trees that the Dodgers commitment to winning, track record, strong minor league system, made a huge difference to Ohtani. I really think you need to listen to the press conference and have some context before you criticize it as some canned PR response..
  2. If you listened to the press conference, which it appears you didn't. That is what was told to Ohtani in a closed door meeting and Ohtani was pretty tight lipped about how he made his decision. Of all the factors that went into making his decision, he chose to highlight that point. The Dodgers have a WS ring in that period, WS appearances, Division champs etc and they still call that a failure... Not the same as Ross and Mark saying we need to do better.
  3. Did you guys listen to the Ohtani press conference? Ohtani said a key reason he picked the Dodgers is because even though they have been in the playoffs the last 10 years and won one WS, they think of that as a failure. That is the mindset and commitment that attracted Ohtani. Our 3 playoffs appearances via the WC and 2 and out is not in the same universe. Some on here have said that it is a good job, we made in the playoffs three of the last four years. For the Dodgers, that is still failure.
  4. They waited until after the press conference to make it official so no conflict and to put their actions where their mouth was to Ohtani.. They still need another solid SP.. Def still in on Yamamato.
  5. Are you aware why the Mariners traded Winker.. Brantley is always hurt as well.
  6. If Espinal is even a utility guy I am going to be pissed. If he is our starting 2b, I will throw up in my mouth..
  7. From the Giant’s perspective, the reporter has a good point about some of the remaining FAs. https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/12/11/kurtenbach-why-the-sf-giants-need-to-pass-on-bellinger-chapman-in-free-agency/
  8. Rowdy could be a real life Pirate. He has the name and the look about him... Fitting....
  9. Most users ever online was 39,129, 06-19-2023 at 04:23 PM. What occurred at that date and time? I thought for sure that Friday with the Ohtani news would break the record. I mean the news did crash the board.
  10. If the board charges French Soup per post, they could probably eliminate the need for advertising revenue...
  11. The Giants have a s*** load of money... They can def still do more
  12. Don't let Sopa Francesa read that... He thinks he is the next Soto..
  13. I have been inundated with media about the Ohtani situation and had a few days to reflect. I live in the Bay area and they really thought they had a shot. I was hearing all the local media about Ohtani. Richest individual owner in MLB and needing to make a big splash, west coast etc. Being that I am in the U.S I am very exposed to the U.S media. Then I am part of this board and have of course followed the Toronto media and radio talk shows etc as well. From this perspective, I am convinced that Ohtani did not really want to come here. It wasn't about the Dodgers offering more money, he just wanted to play for the Dodgers and stay on the west coast in his Newport Beach house. FYI- Ohtani doesn't live in LA and does not need to move to have play at Chavez Ravine. We don't know if the Giants were right there with us or if even we were third or fourth in $$ offered. Regardless, he is not here, never was going to be and we missed out on Soto. Now we need to get to work on the trade market since the FA market sucks. Face it, we got blue balled and never were going to sleep with the Hottest chick. More like a Hooters waitress flirting with you for a big tip..
  14. Nice pick up by the Royals. Lugo was sneaky good last year and should excel at Kaufman as he did at Petco.
  15. Wow.. Vlad Jr won the HR derby at the Charity softball game. He got 2 HRs and 8 RBI's in the game. Was the winning manager also...Glad Vlad can win all the BS fluff competitions.. Now become one of the top 15 hitters in MLB and maybe I will want to keep you around as DH.
  16. I thought that is their commodity to obtain pitching... Hitters, specifically IF...
  17. Cincinnati is the way for me. Let's go to the auction house and get our self's a Steer! Yeee ha!
  18. https://www.google.com/search?q=google+tranlate+french+to+english&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS1065US1065&oq=google+tranlate+french+to+english&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAE
  19. Putting Varsho in LF dilutes his value.. He is one of the best CF in baseball and his bat can play at CF, not LF.. I wouldn't want to do that, maybe vice versa...
  20. The Korean league has nowhere the pitching of the Japanese league.... Research the scouting and write ups the guy the Reds signed and Kim prior to him going to SD.. Kim is a good hitter, but nowhere near what people were foaming over prior to his signing.. The track record is not there yet for him to be a key piece we are going to rely on for offense.
  21. I am not interested in going to war (no pun intended) with a player from the KBR who has never had a MLB AB. The track record from Korea is much more mixed than Japan and that dude from the Reds and others are still fresh in my mind..
  22. I 90% guarantee you that it is an agreed upon deal from the Soto trade that was waiting for the 40 man crunch that came with Ohtani...
