    The fact that so many of their position players/hitters are in their prime and younger is troubling..if they do sign Trumbo to replace Mark Reynolds @ 1B...

    The Giants don't have a SS? What happened to Crawford?

    Toles straight out dropped a catch in the most important game of the year. Just fucking dropped it. Fuck that cunt.

    Don't know why I said SS, I meant LF'er.

    Been hoping all along Toles gets first shot at the LF and maybe more importantly, the leadoff position.

    If not Toles, who will hit leadoff? It was a black (no racist) hole a year ago.

    Love it, love everything about it. Really don't want Urias participating either.

    No, FUCK no! It's almost as fucked up as that Australia trip that put CK out for a month, and those games counted!

    They dropped their nuts (again), not a routine fly.

    Little known fact: Toles was bagging groceries a year and a half ago.

    No shit?
    On that dropped fly, is that where the "can of corn" expression came from?

    Toles also blew a throw to home plate in a big spot..gonna have to say he choked there as well. Just sayin..talented player, followed him pretty closely during his 3 level romp to MLB, he's earned his shot, but he did choke out there a couple times in the post. What's that mean going forward? Maybe nothin at all. Either way, the fact that another youngster got at least some playoff experience is a plus for LAD. Bill James said it..MLB is a young man's game now. When young guys do as much as Toles and Trayce did last year, gotta try and ride that. I assume Trayce ( expected to be 100% healthy) will be paired w/Joc in CF since that's his natural spot.

    Toles isn't the old school type of leadoff option, doesn't see a lot of pitches or work the count much..moreso on the aggressive side. But he has stolen his share of bases in the past, stole a decent amount at Tulsa..maybe they'll unleash him a little bit. They'd probably be thrilled if Toles could beat Ethier out for leadoff responsibilities, leaving Ethier to his more natural middle of the order place. But Toles also didn't impress against LHP in the opportunities he was given, so perhaps they'll be looking at another couple guys for that leadoff spot on days VS LHP..maybe Puig or Trayce. A bunch of guys basically just holding Verdugo's spot until he's cooked.

    I like how the 1B coach started arguing before he called him out
