    This might have something to do with Kapler being fired, from the end of an article on the Athletic about Logan Webb being frustrated:

    Other Giants players who have attempted to bring professionalism to the clubhouse have been frustrated by the results.

    Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, second baseman Thairo Estrada, and infielder Wilmer Flores are among those who sought to refocus a clubhouse that has included too many ho-hum reactions to losing along with a near-zealotry to Pusoy, a Filipino card game that Joc Pederson and some other Giants players appear to find more compelling than studying the night’s opposing starting pitcher.

    Some Giants players noticed small but telling signs in the clubhouse this season. The blaring, postgame victory playlist is a staple in most clubhouses. At some point, though, someone decided that it would be appropriate to play Bob Marley music in the clubhouse after losses.

    “When’s the last time you heard music in a major-league clubhouse after a loss?” one Giants player, granted anonymity in order to speak freely, said. “I mean, you shouldn’t hang your head for too long after a loss. But you shouldn’t be OK with it, either.”

    Interesting. I need to subscribe to that.

    A fellow Giants fan came over yesterday (prior to Gabe's firing) and we were discussing the (sorry) state of the Giants (for five hours!). Gabe's name came up. My buddy considered him a "babysitter" and mentioned the Giants' lack of professionalism and/or urgency. After five hours, we came up with no solutions...other than buying the team ourselves.
    The main topic was about Logan Webb pitching like a Cy Young candidate and being frustrated with the team but unsure if he should speak out since a starting pitcher only pitches every five days or so.

    I was hoping for COMPLETE chaos today in the baseball races. that didn’t happen, but there’s still a lot up in the air.

    the O’s are an easy team for me to root for. they’re one of the very few I don’t have some grudge against…some small grudges; some life long.

    Yea Orioles, Minnesota (they won't have to worry about the Yankees), and Toronto only for Donnie. But I'd rather he win it at the helm.

    Catching up on this thread...

    Sad to hear about Wakefield. Seemed like a super solid guy with a nasty knuckleball. Rest in peace.

    Miggy will be missed in baseball. 

    $9?!?!? WOW. That reminds me that I need to grab ALDS tickets.

    This season has been insane & I can't wait for the playoffs! Lots of great stories & I have a feeling the postseason will be a lot of fun to watch. Best of luck to everyone's teams & go Astros!!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    AAron Judge was hurt and still hit 37 homers.

    Lindor 30/30 club
    Jrod 30/30 club
    Witt Jr 30/49 club
    Acuna 40/70 club

    Kyle Tucker just misses w 29HR and 30 SBs! He and Alvarez get no love.

    Witt Jr put up some really good numbers for having no one around him in the lineup.  Dude is blazing fast too.

    Alonso despite batting like 220 had 118 RBI's and 46 HR's.  Dude is hitting them at a record clip.  He also got plunked 19 times.

    Freddie who?  Matt Olson hits 54 friggin HR's!

    Speaking of Freddie... 29 HR, 331 avg, 131 r, 102 RBIs.  Thats an MVP year if Acuna didn't play this year, lol.

    Luis Robert put together a hell of a season.

    Corey Seager killed when he came off DL.

    One hell of a rookie class: Carroll, Marte, Luciano, Senga, Henderson, Adley, Jung, Elly, Casas, Walker, Royce Holy shit you can play Lewis, Zach Gelof.  Future is bright.  Carroll swiped 54 bases.

    5 pitchers w under 3 era.  One of them is a rc in Senga for the Mets.

    Arraez came back down to earth hitting a very respectable 354.

    Trea Turner, Julio and Soto all had monster 2nd halves' of seasons. I shit on Turner too but man did he turn it up.

    Atlant has 5, count em FIVE players w 3-+ HR's....

    What else am I missing?
