What the fuck, Giants? Jesus Christ.
Usually it's by Late June to Early July is when shit hits the fan.

Look at the positives. Being this irrelevant early erases false hope later. gives you time to look at the draft.
Seriously though you guys are just having exceptionally bad luck right now.
Here's a good article by baseball prospectus on the differences between Michael Pineda in 2011 with the mariners and 2014/2015 Pineda with the Yankees.

Bryant homers 3 times today. Everyone will lose their shit. Book it.
Then fans start calling him the best player in MLB. Move over, Trout.

Was Trout this hyped up when he debuted? I remember it being like this for Harper and Strasburg.

Bob Carpenter's commentary for the Nats debut of Strasburg was hilarious.
"Who's your daddy!?"
"The best fastball I've ever seen!"
"The infield might just want to take a seat to admire this performance!"
He was a top 3 prospect two years running but never got the hype like Harper. Bryant has more publicity because of what happend and that has led to more hype.
Aww yeah. Time for him to justify me using an early pick on him.

Watching MLB Network and they're showing the White Sox feed of the Tigers/White Sox game. Nothing but dead air so far for the top of the 1st. A lot nicer than listening to Hawk speak.

It's sometimes easy to forget that Avisail Garcia is only 23 years old. He reminds me a lot of a more athletic Carlos Lee. Effortless home run to right field, that was impressive.

I can't wait until Shields just pitches around Bryant to deflate the crowd.

Awesome, I'm very probably gonna miss Bryant's first AB ffs.

Not for Trout, no. But it's Orange County, man. Chill out.

The good news: more Ryan Goins in the field!
The bad news: more Ryan Goins at bat!
Though technically, they could replace him with a DH and let the pitchers hit instead. It's not like Dickey or Buerhle could be much worse.

Man, I really would rather have Rizzo than Cashner since Rizzo actually plays games.

LOL @ Theo Epstein.
To paraphrase: "We didn't really want to bring Bryant up yet, but injuries at 3rd base have forced our hand. If we had a choice, we would have waited until later in the year and brought him up during an away game to lessen some of the pressure on him. This has nothing to do with the CBA. He had plenty to work on in AAA still."
Kris Bryant, batting clean up at home, on the first day after the CBA loophole applies. Way to keep that pressure down, Theo!

Impressive. Most impressive.

Protip: don't hit it to straightaway center, its harder to hit a home run in that part of the ballpark.

Kris Bryant is next in the long line of Cubs' busts. As a favor, the Royals will take him off your hands.

I doubt they're gonna show him many the entire series until he proves he has patience with the off-speed stuff. Butterflies and all that.

On the train and I can't watch. The radio app's not working either. Fuck blackouts.

Don't worry. All you've missed is that your pitcher is a better hitter than Kris Bryant.
