Mike Krukow announced his retirement this morning and it’s weird knowing that he will not be a part of my Giants experience much longer. Thanks for the memories, Kruk. And congratulations on such a great career. You certainly got both cheeks into that one. #sfgiants

Oof.

A cocktail made with love! Glad you liked it.

Congratulations Matthew!!! Really enjoying the Dana Maria. I’m not normally a Tequila drinker, but this cocktail is delicious and reminds me of a Mexican vacation. @GiantCocktails @SFGiants

10.3% of the Giants’ home runs this year have been Grand Slams. #SFGiants

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

The last time the Giants scored 19 runs was May 20, 2021 vs the Reds. The losing pitcher in that game? Tyler Mahle who gave up 7 Hits, 7 runs in 2 IP. #sfgiants

Hector Borg was reassigned to a role in player development, which is his background. He’s very well-liked in the organization and has a good reputation within the industry, but third base was a bad fit. They made the decision to go with Wotus after Wednesday’s game.

[Paul Hembekides (Hembo) @PaulHembo]

Walk rate this season:
Giants (5.7%) | MLB avg (9.4%)

On a league-adjusted basis (63 BB+), it’s the most walk-averse lineup in 147 years. Really.

To open roster spots for Bryce Eldridge and Jesus Rodriguez, the Giants DFA'd Jerar Encarnacion and optioned Will Brennan back to Triple-A. They have just three true outfielders on the roster, but Rodriguez can play LF and Christian Koss has some OF experience too.

[Alex Pavlovic @PavlovicNBCS]

Giants haven’t announced corresponding moves yet but Encarnacion and Brennan do not appear to be here. Eldridge and Rodriguez have arrived, and McDonald is back to pitch tonight.

@Minorincur7813 I’m not saying he’s not a good guy. But he’s not good at his job so…

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

Do 3rd base coaches get fired in season? Asking for a friend. #SFGiants

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

Shout out to the Captain on Brandon Belt Day. Here’s to all the fans who were on the right side of the Belt Wars. #SFGiants

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

It took Andrew Susac 8 ABs over 3 games to get his third hit. His kid brother Daniel did it in his first game. #SFGiants

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

Texting my brother after three of the worst games in Giants’ history.

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

They’re throwing a festival for us fans. And yes, we’re drinking cocktails.

[ScottB_SF @ScottBaughmanSF]

Happy Friday! Enjoying “The Sunflower” by @GiantCocktails Substituted the Elderflower Liquor with Velvet Falernum. Really good, not too sweet. Great interview with @PavlovicNBCS

[Alex Pavlovic @PavlovicNBCS]

The Giants announced the Kai-Wei Teng for Jancel Villarroel trade. Villarroel, 21, is a catcher and was Houston's No. 13 prospect last year. The Giants also got some international slot money, which could be helpful.

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

Finally!

Free-agent outfielder Harrison Bader in agreement with Giants on two-year contract, pending physical, source tells @TheAthletic.

*waved* (I swear to God, I’m sober)

[Giant Cocktails Podcast @GiantCocktails]

Just walked by Rich Aurelia at Costco and said, “Hey, Rich!” He waived back so we’re practically BFFs now.
