[🇬🇧 UK SF Giants 🇬🇧 | Alistair @UKSFGiants]

Had a lot of fun meeting up with fellow UK based Giants fans today at the #hackneybridgetakeover. Shout-out to @MLBEurope for putting on such a fun event. And what better way to close out the weekend than with a series clinching win over the Mets? 😉

@GiantHotTakes Bring back the iced cream city connect jerseys 😂

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@BayAreaTrev Harrison, it's his to lose, Posey is old school and Harrison has been around longer than Birdsong, so unless Harrison has a completely bad spring the spot is his to lose.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@GarlicFryRy MLB has always been bad at marketing it's biggest stars to a wider/global audience. Hopefully they get better at it, Bobby Witt Jr, Elly De La Cruz and Paul Skenes are exciting right now to watch and are also going to be around for a while.

@GarlicFryRy @SFGiants This is where numbers matter over perception, because of his pitching style he gives up a lot of contact that usually ends up in an out, but because a lot of fans use the "seeing eye test" those 3-4 blow-ups per season get massively exaggerated.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@BenchesClearedP @MLBNetwork Bailey over Smith for Catcher, any loss of offense is made up by Bailey's MLB best defense. Bailey led Smith in fWAR last season 4.3 - 2.7.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@brian_wyckoff @SoxFanNerd As a Giants fan I appreciate the high ranking but I feel we should be switched with the Padres. We have question marks after Logan Webb in the rotation and throughout most of the lineup.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@GarlicFryRy Baggs said partway through the offseason other front offices were asking for ridiculous returns in trade talks, due to our front office being inexperienced. It's that whole, you have to earn the respect of other front offices thing before they will take you seriously.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@RC4words @KNBR The highest team batting average in the league last season was .263.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@C_Lo40 Also I think his messaging at the beginning of the offseason was somewhat misleading. He seemed to promise being contenders and competing straight away, then the offseason goes quiet after signing Adames, which then leads to frustration and disappointment.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@C_Lo40 I'm open minded, it can be argued he's going against the grain in a lot of ways, by going away from analytics and doing some other things that go against the modern accepted Baseball philosophy, but however the Giants can get back to winning, I'll accept whatever works.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@GarlicFryRy Yep, I wanted Burnes, Adames and Santander to propel us into definitive wild card contendership, ok depending on who you believe Burnes didn't like the opt-outs and/or wanted to stay in Zona, but the Santander contract was 100% affordable, why can't we offer defered contracts?

@KNBR That's an industry answer, Farhan was more eloquent though.

[Charlie Baldwin @BaseballChaz]

@BaseballJeff1 I think that also depends on A) if we're talking about James Tibbs III being a potential starter at this time next offseason and B) If the Giants decide to make a big play for Kyle Tucker and can actually sign him.
