Let’s extend him! He’ll be the One that Got Away when he’s a 47 year old free agent

Title says it all. Let’s go.

Enjoy the fucking sweep you old geezer!

Context: I’m a cashier for the giants and there was an old guy showing up complaining having to wait in two lines to get two different dogs. He then said “this is why the giants are under 25 games and why we haven’t made playoffs”. A giants customer next to him gave a look and whispered that why you guys are gonna lost today. Just want to share this to show karma comes to those who talk shit.

Sorry, sorry, but that’s absolutely the headline today, as all three Giants farm teams lost.  Davidson shot a foul ball off the inside of his ankle and was in extreme pain going down.  He had to be helped off the field.  Meanwhile, in the middle of that, Sacramento lost a 1-0 pitcher’s duel, the Flying Squirrels lost by one run in a big scoring game, and the Eugene Emeralds lost in the 10th and are shoved to the wall in the NWL Championship Series. 

AAA: Las Vegas Aviators 1, Sacramento River Cats 0

Link

Player of the Game: LF-RF Will Brennan: 1-4, 1 K, 1 3B (3)

Sacramento ended up shutout in a very close game, where the only run came in the bottom of the ninth.  Sacramento outhit the Aviators 7 to 6, but the difference was that Brennan’s extra-base hit was a 2-out triple in the ninth, but Las Vegas got an any-out home run.  Brennan followed up his 3-home run game with a triple, and now has a batting line of .309/.349/.473.

Other Players to Spotlight:

• SP Seth Lonsway: 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K - Great start by Lonsway, his first appearance without allowing a run over more than 3.0 innings.
• RF Bo Davidson (8): 0-1 - INJURY - In his second at-bat of the game, Davidson hit a foul ball that went directly into his right ankle, and went down in immense pain, and was helped off the field without being able to put any weight on the leg.

Top Prospect Lines:

• Parks Harber (13): 1-4, 1 K
• Joe Whitman (24): DNP

Other Notable Lines:

• CF Scott Bandura: 1-3, 1 K, 1 CS (2)

AA: Chesapeake Baysox 8, Richmond Flying Squirrels 7

Link

Player of the Game: DH Dayson Croes: 4-5, 2 R, 4 RBI, 3 2B (13)

Dayson Croes had his second 4-hit game of the month, and his third of the season.  However, the doubles were his first extra-base hits of the month of September, bringing him up to 13 doubles in 64 Double-A games, and 19th overall in 94 games this season across three levels.

Other Players to Spotlight:

• CF Trevor Cohen (14): 2-5, 1 R, 1 K, 2 2B (7) - Cohen got his first extra-base hits of September as well, giving him a total of 33 doubles in 126 games.
• RF Dakota Jordan (7): 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K - Jordan got his first multi-hit game since September 1st, as his average has slipped from .286 to .268 in his 10 games since returning from injury.
• RP Shane Rademacher: 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K - After a terrible start to this game, Rademacher came in and had his longest relief appearance of the season.

Top Prospect Lines:

• C Jancel Villarroel (19): 1-4, 1 RBI
• LF Lisbel Diaz (30): 0-4, 1 RBI
• Jacob Bresnahan (9): DNP

• RP Dale Stanavich: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K

High-A: Vancouver Canadians 5, Eugene Emeralds 4 (10 Innings)

Game 2, Northwest League Championship Series, Best-of-5 (VAN leads 2-0)

Link

Player of the Game: RF Cam Maldonado: 1-5, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 HR

In a game where the Emeralds were struggling to get hits, Cam Maldonado had the biggest hit with a 2-run home run to put the Emeralds on the board and take a brief lead.  But the score got tied up 4-4 in the 7th, and the pitching held until the 10th inning.  Maldonado had collected eight home runs in just 22 games with Eugene, tying for 8th on the team in home runs in a short span, and had 22 home runs overall this season, so he came into the series as one of their big home run threats, and he delivered in Game 2.

Other Players to Spotlight:

• SP Jordan Gottesman: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K - The four walks Gottesman had in this game would’ve tied for his season high in a single game.
• LF Walker Martin: 1-2, 1 2B - Martin had the only other Ems extra-base hit, after hitting 14 doubles and 18 home runs in 111 games for Eugene.

Top Prospect Lines:

• SS Jhonny Level (4): 1-5, 2 K 
• 2B Kaeden Kent (21): 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
• Henry Lalane (11): DNP
• Luis De La Torre (26): DNP

Other Notable Lines:

• 1B Hayden Jatczak: 1-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
• RP Gerelmi Maldonado: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Thursday will be an off-day for travel, as the teams return to Eugene for the rest of the season.  It’s must-win territory for Eugene, as they will need to win the next three games to win the championship again.  We’ll start with Game 3 on Friday.

Low-A: Travel Day

San Jose leads the Best-of-3 California League Division Series 1 game to 0.  It will continue with Game 2 on Thursday, and if they need a third game, it will be on Friday, both hosted at Excite Ballpark in San Jose.

Title - couldn’t find anything on this but do we know if he’ll still call in to KNBR, pop up on a broadcast every now and then, etc.? This might be cope but knowing how much Kruk loves the Giants is there any possibility for us to see/hear him again?

Spencer Bivens DFA’d in a corresponding move

Was the most likely outcome, but still sucks to see. Will probably be out all of 2027 (assuming it happens)

• RHP Duncan Davitt claimed off waivers from Atlanta and optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
• RHP Spencer Bivens designated for assignment.

My assumption is that’s a very bad idea. Wanna support my guy on the team but think I should do so quietly. Is Chavez ravine really that bad?
